Baubles, Bling and Binge-Worthy Things

Thanks to sites like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime, we are now able to watch complete seasons of our favorite shows (sometimes even the entire series) in a single sitting. Binge watching… it’s a guilty pleasure. Some things are just TOO good, we simply cannot stop ourselves from over-indulging!

At Joden, we have a stick pin obsession! Lately, we have definitely been catering to our cravings. Our inventory is overflowing with hundreds of these little beauties – delicate pearl wreaths, enameled flowers, horseshoes, clever animals and SO much more. Although we occasionally dress-up a jacket or lapel with a stick pin, more often than not we are converting them into charming pendants.

This is one of our latest and most beloved creations. Made from 14 karat yellow gold, this Art Nouveau gem will add subtle shine to any neckline. A rich purple amethyst and three seed pearls accent beautifully carved laurel leaf details.

It slides easily on a 16 inch cable chain, complete with a small lobster claw clasp. It’s available on our site for just $425.

Equally enchanting is this small love knot pendant. Four softly rounded loops entwine one into the next. A singular bright diamond winks from the center.

An intimate symbol of love and unity, this pendant promises to delight any lucky recipient.

It’s available on our website for just $275.oo. Not only do stick pin conversions make perfect pendants, but they also make absolutely adorable additions to charm bracelets. Start slow with just one, or binge on a bracelet full! The choice is all yours and the possibilities are endless.

Baubles, Bling and Knotty Things

Tomorrow is Sweetest Day – a holiday that has been celebrated for nearly 100 years with the giving of candies and small gifts to the ones that you love… and not just your significant other, but your family and friends too! If this special day somehow slipped your mind, don’t worry… at Joden, we’ve got it all tied up.

Love knots have been a treasured theme of jewelers and artisans for hundreds of years. These small yet intimately symbolic beauties communicate so much more than words can say. Gold wires, woven together in a series of loops convey an inseparable and unbreakable commitment. Here we have a mash-up of every kind… stunning repoussé gold work, soft satin finishes, multi-colored enamels, delicate seed pearls, twinkling diamonds and one tiny opal (my personal favorite). Stick pins are unusual in that they are unisex. Men pin them to lapels and weave them through neckties for a statement look while the ladies seem to prefer to wear them as charms or tiny pendants. If you’re not a pin wearer, perhaps consider converting one or more of these love knots into a prize of your very own. Pricing begins at $90.00.

These little enchantresses are just a bit bigger than a stickpin. Each one offers a charm all its own. Victorian beauty comes to life, from small and simple to elaborately enhanced; carefully intertwined into all of them is the same message of love and unity. I do have a favorite…

Blue and white enameled forget-me-nots vine across the surface of each of the three loops that are wreathed together, adding another emblematic element to the already figurative love knot. One small diamond winks from the center, adding the tiniest bit of sparkle. The back of the brooch features a foldover bail, allowing this beauty to be worn on a chain. Make it yours for just $725.00.

If you’re looking for something special, look no further. Our cases are overflowing with vintage finds. For Sweetest Day or any old day… the answer is always Joden.
