His and Hers – Volume Six

Baubles, Bling, and Complementary Rings

Crafted over four decades apart, this unique duo of rings offer a harmonious blend of cool white gold and stark black onyx.  These rings have been a popular go-to choice for nearly 100 years.  The classic color combination of black and white is a style that appeals to a wide audience of jewelry lovers everywhere.  

Many of these simplistic beauties were made near the end of the Art Deco era in the 1930’s.  This ladies ring is one such example.  With an artfully sculpted hourglass shape, the 10-karat white gold ring has an elegant allure.  The onyx center stone presents with a softly arched profile that takes up almost the entire top of the piece.  A narrow framework holds it in place with prongs located at 12, 3, 6 and 9:00 o’clock.

One tiny single-cut diamond is nestled within a diamond-shaped setting on top of the onyx stone.  Graceful lines pair with polished sophistication in this 1930’s gem, priced at just $275.00.

It’s handsome counterpart was crafted in the 1970’s.  Designed for a larger hand, this ring is made from 18-karat white gold.  Polished to a pristine shine, the wide shank meets the center section at a perpendicular angle.  The middle of this ring is set with a curved black onyx.  It is the same shape as the onyx in the ladies ring, although this one is set in an east/west orientation.  

Flanking the onyx are two lines of diamonds.  Each one is set with four single-cut diamonds – these stones have a combined weight of .25 carat.  Adding a hint of sparkle to this otherwise stark ring, the diamonds are a much needed bright spot in this ring – it’s available now for $950.00.

These two ring aren’t wedding bands – and they don’t match.  However, they sing together in perfect harmony.  If you and your sweetheart are looking for an outward symbol of your connection, this pair of rings is ideal!  They’re available on our website – click on over and check them out.

His and Hers – Volume Five

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and Complementary Things

Trends in wedding rings are constantly changing – platinum, gold or alternative metal?  Diamonds, gemstones, or no stones?  Engraving, milgrain edges, or plain?  Newly engaged couples have an endless array of choices that are as vast and varied as the individuals doing the choosing.  

Matching bands are a consideration for many couples, but are not as popular as they once were.  Today, it seems as though customers are looking for rings that are more complementary…  offering similar details but still speaking to the unique taste of the wearer.  

This “His and Hers” duo is a perfect example.  Each yellow gold ring features a white metal square shape in the center with delicate beaded edges and a round diamond nestled within.  Both pieces taper down from the shoulder with subtle details adding to the overall appeal.  

The gents ring is made from 10 karat yellow gold with lightweight construction.  The double-ribbed design at the shoulders adds dimension to the ring and accents the center.  With the perfect amount of sparkle, a round brilliant diamond weighing approximately .15 carat is set within the white gold border.  This ring is priced at just $360…  just in time for summer weddings or even Father’s Day.

Made from 14 karat yellow gold, this sweet ladies ring shines with vintage charm.  A tiny three-petaled blossom creates an openwork design on all four sides of the square-shaped center.  Additional textural details add interest to this 1940’s beauty.  Set in the center is a tiny round diamond that weighs approximately .05 carat.  With a price tag of just $250.00, this petite pretty is a perfect engagement ring, promise ring or graduation gift.  

If you’re looking for a pair of rings that complement each other as well as you and your partner do…  look no further.  This “His and Hers” yellow gold duo offers vintage charm and unique style that won’t break the bank.  For additional details and more pieces like these, visit our showroom or give us a call.

His and Hers – Volume Two

Baubles, Bling and Modern Rings

These days, anything goes with wedding bands.  The choices are eclectic and varied – everything from classic to contemporary with a bit of whimsy thrown in for fun.  I love the challenge of helping each couple find the pair of bands that speaks to them.  It’s the only tangible evidence of the commitment they’re about to make – as such, these rings should be the perfect combination of beauty and function.


One of our newest pieces in the estate department is this ultra modern gents band.  Made from a subtle combination of 14 karat white and rose gold, this ring is sleek and sophisticated.  The outer perimeter creates a gently rounded square that has been accented by a series of parallel grooves.  The white gold edges feature a high polish finish, while the rose gold center has a satin sheen.    One shining diamond accents the ring, a princess cut weighing exactly .32 carats.  Moderately priced at $1,275 – this is one handsome wedding band!

Once I had the men’s band in my hand, I began the search for the ideal complement to it.  I wanted something equally as elegant, and I think I found the perfect choice!  Made from a colorful trio of 18 karat gold, this contemporary gem is a real find!  It, too is part of our estate collection.  Would you ever guess that those three bands spin?  They do!  Each one turns independently, creating what just might be the best fidget spinner ever!  Twenty-four round brilliant diamonds add a quarter carat of sparkle to this Oh-So-Cool ring.  It’s available on our website for just $1,550.

If you and your significant other are searching for wedding bands, consider an estate piece from Joden Jewelers.  You won’t be disappointed.
