Signature Series – Volume 32

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling and Quality Things

At Joden Jewelers, we are continually touting the benefits of purchasing estate jewelry. Perhaps the most advantageous benefit is the price.  With more than fifty-five years in the business, we truly are expert buyers.  With a finger on the pulse of style, we are often able to obtain the most current designer pieces in the secondhand market.  

Even at a glance, this statement band exudes quality.  Decidedly modern, this whimsical ring is big on personality.  Filling my hand from knuckle to knuckle, Pomellato has dubbed this signature piece “an expression of pure joy”.  Founded in Milan in 1967, this iconic Italian designer embraces creative, unconventional beauty.  This bold band features two rows of the most delectably delicious gemstones… pink tourmaline, sapphires (pink, orange, green and blue), tsavorite, red spinel, blue zircon, tanzanite, demantoid, amethyst, ruby and peridot.  Bursting with color, these twenty-two stones are all prong-set with the 18-karat rose gold band.  Like new, this ring shines with 4.50 carats of multi-colored gems.  

To ramp up the playfulness, Pomellato set each gem in scattered, uniquely shaped settings.  Stars, triangles, ovals and squares pop with color-rich brilliance.  The Maxi Iconica is still current and available from Pomellato – with a price tag of $8,550.00.  Recently acquired, our estate piece is a finger size 5.25 – a perfect fit for me.  The silken surface glides over my knuckle with ease.  I can’t help but be captivated by the ultra-smooth feel of the gold, the thick “puffy” vibe of the band itself, and the kaleidoscope of color that brings the ring to life.  While we are not the only ones with a preowned Iconica band, we definitely have the best price.  Take it home today for just $5,700.00!

A Thing of Beauty

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling and a Perfectly Lovely Ring

We love sharing “WOW” pieces…  those breath-taking jewels that our followers go crazy for.  These are the true one-of-a-kind antique wonders, the larger-than-life diamond rings, and phenomenal gem-fine colored stones.  Often, these are the posts that blow-up… there will be countless likes, endless comments and more than one private message.  The comments range anywhere from the most mundane “beautiful” to a snarky “too rich for my blood”.  Showstoppers like this get shared multiple times with similar results.  Often placed with private collector and select clientele, we sell our share of those rare beauties.  

However, there’s no question that the posts that sell themselves are the unique diamond bands.  Whether it be Victorian, Edwardian or Art Deco, these whimsical darlings sell every single time.  There’s something so appealing about the history that could be wrapped up in a vintage wedding or anniversary band!  Dana and I always have an eye out for bands with unusual details like flowers, bows, or engraving like this sweet little ring.  

Crafted in the late 1930’s, this three-stone style band is made from 14-karat white gold.  Three European cut diamonds span the center, each one prong set inside a square border.  An additional pair of single-cut diamonds are set on the outermost edges of this trio.  Combined, these five diamonds have a total weight of 1.00 carat.  Near colorless, these diamonds have an average clarity grade of SI1-2.  The shoulders of the ring are decorated with milgrain beaded lines, delicate scrollwork and tiny clusters of white gold beads.  

On the hand, this Art Deco band offers great presence.  It can be worn alone, or stacked with one or two of your favorite rings.  Currently measuring a size 6.75, our expert jeweler can fit it to nearly any finger.  Living in a throw-away society has really made us appreciate the craftsmanship of eras gone by.  Instead of buying something brand new, choose the value and chic style offered by a great piece of estate jewelry… a thing of beauty.  With decades of life left in it, this diamond band is priced at just $1,750.00!  Soon to be added to our website, check it out while it’s still available!

“Diamonds Are Happier When They’re Free!”

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling and Iconic Things

Since 1860, Chopard has been known for classic style and superb quality.  For nearly 175 years, fashionistas worldwide have indulged in their luxury items.  The Swiss based company introduced their most iconic line in 1976…  Happy Diamonds!

Inspired by a waterfall and the thousands of water droplets that burst from it, the designer sought a look with floating diamonds, where they could be free and uninhibited. 

This whimsical earring is created from 18 karat yellow gold.  Ten of the finest Chopard diamonds dance between two pieces of sapphire crystal which has been expertly etched with their famous logo.  These ten round brilliant diamonds have an approximate weight of .50 carat.  Combine that with the sixty-two prong-set diamonds that create the heart-shaped halo for a sum of 1.00 carat total weight.  I love the contemporary feminine feel of these beauties.  

Similar designs are still part of the Happy Diamonds collection with selections available for purchase.  This pair of pre-owned earrings is available at now at www.joden.com.  We are offering these playful yet timeless gems for $3,350.00.  Differentiate yourself with antique, estate, and modern jewelry from Joden!
