What’s New – Vol. 51

Baubles, Bling and the Latest Things

Mid-Century Modern design is rapidly gaining popularity.  The design aesthetic from the 1950’s and 1960’s encompassed everything from home decor to jewelry accessories.  The sputnik-like light fixtures and iconic wooden furniture from those decades is highly sought after and commands big prices.  

This beauty is a stellar example of fine jewelry from that era.  The influence of the 1940’s is strong except that this ring is made entirely of platinum – a metal that was unavailable to jewelers during the war years.  A decidedly refined Retro vibe radiates from this little ring.  Asymmetrical style appeals to me – I love the luxurious unbalanced panache.

Thirty round diamonds have been pavé set along one side while a playful spray of five straight baguette diamonds burst from the other.  These thirty-five diamonds offer a full carat of dazzling sparkle.  That three-pronged spray juts flawlessly off the hand when this diminutive charmer is worn on a pinky finger.  

If you are as smitten with this Mid-Century ring as I am – stop by the store and try it for yourself.  It’s available now for $2,650.00.

What’s One More?

Baubles, Bling and a Perfect Ring

I am going to be brutally honest.  Sometimes the pieces of jewelry run together, one after the other.  It’s a seemingly endless array of platinum diamond rings, gold chains, colored stone earrings…  the list goes on.  Our inventory is vast, boasting thousands of items from the simple to the sublime.  After twenty years of jewelry, it takes something special to catch my eye.  On more than one occasion, I have commented that I just cannot write about another platinum diamond ring.  

Without a doubt, those very things…  sweet little vintage diamond rings get more comments than anything else we post on Facebook or Instagram.  Our followers are gaga for a platinum setting glittering from top to bottom with diamonds.  You love them all…  from Edwardian to Art Deco and even Mid Century Modern.  So, when this dainty darling found it’s way to my desk, I couldn’t resist.  After all, what’s one more?

Made during the 1950’s, this beauty focuses on a modern cut round diamond that weighs approximately .60 carat.  This stone is near colorless (G, to be precise) with a clarity grade of VS.  It’s set with angular L-shaped prongs in the corners that give the stone a squarish appearance.  Keeping the geometric theme, three straight baguette cut diamonds are channel set on each side of the center.  These six diamonds have a combined weight of .18 carat.  Eighteen round diamonds create upper and lower borders on this Mid Century ring, adding another .18 carat of bling.  Made entirely of platinum, this ring is priced at $2,980.00 and is available now on joden.com…  just in time for the holidays!
