I am completely smitten with this week’s find. I stumbled on it completely by accident and haven’t been able to get it out of my mind since. I am not usually a trendy kind of girl… I lean more toward unique vintage finds. But I am a sucker for a sparkly diamond ring – and this ring (currently measuring a finger size 4.5) fits my hand like a glove. In fact, it’s glittering on my finger as I strike each key on my laptop.

This modern beauty is made from 14 karat yellow gold – my metal choice of the moment. It has the tiniest little band, carefully set with thirty-four round brilliant diamonds that go three-quarters of the way around the shank. Although I am usually a fan of eternity bands, I can understand the practicality of leaving a space in the shank for sizing the ring. These near colorless stones have a combined weight of .20 carat and an average clarity grade of VS2-SI1. Inscribed inside the band is just one word… “Sylvie”. This modern manufacturer is known for timeless feminine designs with everlasting style.

Rising tall and proud from the center of this designer darling is a stunner of a stone. This pear-shaped brilliant beauty weighs exactly 1.10 carat, but looks much larger. This diamond shows its weight and shines from every angle. Set with six prongs, this pear has a color grade of I-J and a clarity grade of SI1-2. The ring has been evaluated by the International Gemological Institute of America. This detailed report offers an in-depth assessment of the ring complete with a full-color photograph, diamond plot-chart and a retail replacement value. The valuation came in at $8,555.00. We are offering it on our site for just $5,800.00!

This ring checks all the boxes of the current trends in diamond engagement rings…

It’s yellow gold.
The band is extremely narrow and dainty, micro-set with a tiny row of diamonds.
The center diamond is a fancy cut (pear and oval are most popular).

Combine the desirability of the ring with the absolutely incredible pricing, and this ring simply WILL NOT LAST. Do not sleep on this one. Call us now to make it yours (800) 747-7552!

Just when I think that the halo craze must surely be coming to an end… a new twist enters the game and we’re off and running again. There is no question that fancy-shaped center stones have been on FIRE this year. In fact, the marquise cut was predicted to be THE shape for 2019. We added our two cents to that prophecy with A Queen Returns back in February. With fall on the horizon, I am tentatively throwing in the towel on that one. While we definitely sold a marquise here and there, the real star of the show this year has been the pear.

Much as I hate to admit it, even I have been a smitten kitten where this modern double-halo engagement ring is concerned. It goes against everything I usually like… but it’s just so sparkly! I am powerless to resist it. A dazzling white pear brilliant cut diamond sits center stage in this 18 karat white gold contemporary beauty. Weighing .48 carat, this diamond packs a punch. It is surrounded by not one but two diamond halos created from fifty-one round diamonds that wrap around the center then cascade down the shoulders. The side stones add an additional .45 carat to this ring, bringing the total diamond weight to .93 carat. Priced at just $2,150, this is A LOT of look for the money.

Shortly after I discovered the shiny new ring shown above, I stumbled across this tarnished old gem. Featuring a rose-cut pear-shaped diamond, this 9 karat yellow gold stunner was handcrafted nearly 200 years ago. It’s Georgian, made in the 1830’s. Twelve additional rose cut diamonds add another layer of subtle shine to this understated piece. The total diamond weight comes in at just over a half carat, .55 to be exact. Each nook and cranny of the softly scalloped edge is rich with a dark patina, achieved solely with age. It shimmers with quiet beauty for just $925.

And so I ask you the same question I have been asking myself… which one will it be? Are you drawn glossy shine of the new ring or do you covet the gleaming glow of the antique bauble? Cast your vote on our Instagram post!

You can go to a museum and look, or you can come to Joden and touch.
