Joe’s Special Box – Volume 135

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

Not every treasure at Joden is antique.  In fact, many of my favorite pieces are estate.  In the simplest of terms, estate means that something is pre-owned.  I prefer to think of it as “pre-loved”.  As hard as it is to imagine, pieces from the 1980’s are already almost 40 years old. 

This sweet little ring from Joe’s Special Box is a perfect choice for a first ring.  Centering on three diagonal lines, the open work design of the ring is lovely.  Made of 14 karat yellow gold, it holds five stones.  Three of these gems are round brilliant diamonds that have a total weight of just .10 carat.  A pair of round opals flank the center diamond, one above and one below.  Opal is one of the most popular gemstones at Joden, and it’s the birthstone for October!  Customers are drawn to the unique multi-colored fire that lives inside each one.  Much like snowflakes, no two are exactly the same.  

This dainty darling is comfortable and easy to wear.  It slides over the knuckle with ease, sitting pretty at the base of the finger.   A simple turn of the hand showcases the subtle sparkle of the diamonds as well as the pops of pink and green flashing from both opals.  Priced at just $365.00, this ring is scheduled to be a new arrival on our website.  Be sure to check our site later this week for additional details.

Pick of the Week – Volume Seven

Joden Girl

Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

I am super excited that the Pick of the Week has been so popular!  You guys have really responded to our latest venture, motivating us to keep it going.  If you have a favorite Joden piece that’s been on your wish list, let us know…  perhaps it could be the next Pick of the Week.

This week, Dana and I chose a classic antique ring with romantic appeal.  Two stone rings surged in popularity when Napoleon Bonaparte presented Josephine with one in 1796.  The significance is straight-forward and simple…  one stone for me and one stone for you – earning it the title “moi et toi”.  Our ring is a lovely yellow gold beauty set with a pair of cabochon opals.  These gems flash with sparks of green, blue, orange and red – a kaleidoscope of bold color.  Nestled between the opals are a graduated trio of diamonds – these stones have a combined weigh of .15 carat, another layer of sparkle for this Victorian beauty.

The setting is made from 10 karat gold, and acts as a subtle yet vital supporting cast for those opals, the true stars of this show.  Twenty claw-like prongs extend from the shank of the ring, holding all the stones perfectly in place.  We’ve often talked about three-stone rings – the symmetry of that style has a broad-based appeal.  A two-stone ring is something a bit different, often appealing to those with an eye for sophisticated elegance.  Originally priced at $1,800.00 – this week we are offering this opalescent gem for just $1,425.00!  Make it yours today.
