What’s New – Volume 9

Baubles, Bling, and The Latest Things

If you’re a regular on our social media, you know that we love our conversion jewelry!  We love taking something that’s been laying around here and giving it a new life.  Sometimes a piece is worn out, broken or perhaps just no longer relevant.  To take that and create something fresh is so satisfying.  

Our most recent passion has been conversion rings.  For years we shied away from them – but just a few months ago, with the addition of our new jeweler, we got brave!  Whether it be an old stick pin, or perhaps a shirt stud from a tuxedo set – these little finds make the sweetest rings when you combine them with the perfect band.  

We’re crazy over this oh-so-elegant gem.  Formerly an oversize slide pendant, this incredible green tourmaline was constantly overlooked.  When we paired it with this simple yellow gold band, this elongated emerald cut deep green stone came alive.  It’s available in our conversion case for just $850.00.

If you love the first ring, this one will knock your socks off.  Made from 18 karat yellow and a bit of white gold, this ring is true showstopper.  Measuring 1.5 inches from top to bottom, this ring reaches from knuckle to knuckle on my hand.  The emerald cut tourmaline weighs 10.00 carats and is surrounded by twenty-two diamonds that have a total weight of .75 carat.  Framed by a bold gold border, this ring is everything you never knew you needed.  Priced at $3,750.00 – it’s too good to miss.

Shown together, we’re dying to know which one is your favorite.    Which would you choose – simple elegance or over-the-top bling?  Can’t wait to hear from you!

Joe’s Special Box – Volume 87

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

Only the bright yellow color of gold can aptly complement the rich tones of Tiger’s Eye.  Made in the 1970’s, this oversize elongated ring is an attention grabber.  A singular slice of vertically banded Tiger’s Eye positively glows in this 14 karat yellow gold ring from Joe’s Special Box.

Spanning from knuckle to knuckle on my hand, this ring is impossible to ignore.  The sheer size of the stone will draw your eye.  An optical phenomenon known as chatoyance will hypnotize you.  A band of reflected light moves beneath the surface of this cabochon cut stone…  it’s mesmerizing to say the least.  

A member of the quartz family, Tiger’s Eye is a beautiful stone known for it’s gold, yellow, and brown stripes.  The gorgeous color and silky luster combine with the affordability of the gem to make it a popular choice for jewelry lovers everywhere.  The side profile of this vintage beauty has been accented by a crosshatch pattern, bringing a secondary element of interest.  Reasonably priced at $1,580.00, this ring delivers a lot of bang for the buck!
