Signature Series – Volume 3

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling and Quality Things

At a glance, you might think this ring is ordinary…  just another halo-style ring.  Perhaps you would even dismiss it – it’s not for you.  You often choose jewelry that is extraordinary and unique.  You’re drawn to the uncommon and different; what could this typical piece possibly offer to a girl like you?  

The short answer is a lot.  This deceptively simple ring is SO much more than meets the eye…  it’s top-notch on every level.  The metal isn’t 14-karat or even 18-karat white gold…  it’s platinum.  The density of this naturally occurring white metal ensures the longevity of the ring.  It is also resistant to tarnishing.  Unlike white gold, platinum never needs to be rhodium-plated (or “dipped”), but can be restored to a beautiful shine purely by polishing it.  

Shown from behind, you can see that the ring is lovely from every angle, even the back features an appealing filigree pattern.  These sculpted openings are not only decorative, but also serve as clean-out holes for the gemstones.  To maintain the sparkle of a gem, you have to keep it clean.  

The shoulders of the ring arch gently, creating the ideal angle for the center stone.  Fifty-five round brilliant diamonds are prong-set in this modern marvel.  They are perfectly matched in size and quality, a detail that might seem small but has an enormous impact on the complete presentation.  With a combined weight of .64 carat, these diamonds have an average color grade of D-E and an average clarity grade of VS 1-2.

A 2.03 carat unheated pear-shape pink sapphire is the crowning glory.  Accompanied by a certificate from the Gemological Institute of America, this gem is a rare find.  The medium purplish-pink hue of the stone was not enhanced or treated, but is actually completely natural.  

 

A peek inside the shank reveals the designer…  Orianne.  Located in Los Angeles, this third-generation jeweler spent her childhood learning from her father and grandfather.  Inspired by her own life experience, Orianne believes that every woman deserves quality jewelry that was made to last.  

“Orianne creates pieces simple enough to let you shine, while still serving as an accent for your daily adventures and aspirations – because classic never goes out of style.”

Evaluated by the American International Gemologists, this ring has an estimated retail value of $12,995.00.  At Joden, we’re offering this spectacular estate piece for just $4,500.00…  a deal that is just too good to pass up.

Holiday Halos

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and Illuminated Things

From the time I was a very little girl, we watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade…  favorite characters filled floats, danced along with marching bands, and even floated high above the New York skyline in the form of oversize balloons.  Every year, the parade ends the same way…  a joyful arrival of Santa Claus.  This momentous occasion officially signals the end of one holiday and the beginning of the next – Christmas.  

Only in America have we added in a couple of extra celebratory days…  Black Friday and Small Business Saturday.  Retailers across the United States open at crazy hours, offering deals on all the hottest items.  I absolutely LOVE Black Friday shopping.  My mom and I spend the day going from store to store, checking out anything and everything we see.  We will catch each other up on our lives, chat about all the bizarre things going on around us and we will laugh.  A lot.  There will be a long, leisurely lunch and eventually we will head home.  The back of the car will be filled to overflowing with gifts for everyone on our list.  But the real treasure of the day for me is the time spent with my mom.  

At Joden, we have decided to join the masses and have a little Black Friday fun!  Three diamond engagement rings are available at unbelievable prices! 

First is this gem.  Made from 18 karat white gold in a classic halo style, this ring features a cushion-cut diamond as the center stone.  This ring (and the other two) have been certified by the International Gemological Institute of America (I.G.I.)…  the center stone weighs 1.60 carats.  Surrounding it are 58 round brilliant diamonds and two square diamonds that have a combined weight of .40 carat.  That’s 2.00 carats of total diamond weight!  The certificate values the ring at $12,150.00.  Today, we are offering it for $6,250.00!

Or do you prefer a round diamond?  If you answered yes, then this is the ring for you!  This “Simon G” original ring is crafted from 18 karat white gold and contains one round brilliant diamond in the center.  This diamond weighs exactly 1.00 carat.  Micro pavé set into the halo and split shank design is an additional 152 round diamonds that have a combined weight of .62 carat.  This beauty has been valued at $7,720.00…  but you can take it home for just $3,420.00.

Finally, my favorite of the three…  a glorious pear-brilliant diamond nestled in an 18 karat white gold ring.  This diamond weighs 1.04 carats and is a real showstopper.  The color grade of the center stone is E-F, and the clarity grade is VS2-SI1.  Tiny round diamond trim envelopes the pear shape (34 stones to be exact) for an added .37 carats of bling.  Fancy shapes have surged in popularity this year, and when you look at this beauty, it’s easy to see why.  Appraised for $12,035.00 – available now for only $6,880!  

So, today, on the busiest shopping day of the year (while I am at shopping til I drop) – be sure to stop by Joden and check these bodacious bargains out for yourself.  Financing is available!  And drop in on Small Business Saturday as well…  the first 50 customers will receive a complimentary coffee cup.  We’ll even fill it up for you!

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

Hey, foxy lady!  I am completed gob-smacked by this beauty.  A 3.00 carat natural yellow sapphire glows softly from the center of this platinum Edwardian setting.  Twenty-two single cut diamonds surround this golden gem – demonstrating all that a halo was meant to be.  With a combined total of .50 carat, the diamonds bring an element of sparkle to the subtle shine that radiates from the center stone.  

 

Drink in the mosaic mesh the creates the gallery of the ring…  with quiet beauty, these platinum wires are an integral part of the structure of the piece.  It’s simply beautiful…  and it’s the epitome of the type of pieces you’ll find in Joe’s Special Box.  Priced at just $2,090.00 this is one you don’t want to miss.  It’s just that good.
