Signature Series – Volume 3

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling and Quality Things

At a glance, you might think this ring is ordinary…  just another halo-style ring.  Perhaps you would even dismiss it – it’s not for you.  You often choose jewelry that is extraordinary and unique.  You’re drawn to the uncommon and different; what could this typical piece possibly offer to a girl like you?  

The short answer is a lot.  This deceptively simple ring is SO much more than meets the eye…  it’s top-notch on every level.  The metal isn’t 14-karat or even 18-karat white gold…  it’s platinum.  The density of this naturally occurring white metal ensures the longevity of the ring.  It is also resistant to tarnishing.  Unlike white gold, platinum never needs to be rhodium-plated (or “dipped”), but can be restored to a beautiful shine purely by polishing it.  

Shown from behind, you can see that the ring is lovely from every angle, even the back features an appealing filigree pattern.  These sculpted openings are not only decorative, but also serve as clean-out holes for the gemstones.  To maintain the sparkle of a gem, you have to keep it clean.  

The shoulders of the ring arch gently, creating the ideal angle for the center stone.  Fifty-five round brilliant diamonds are prong-set in this modern marvel.  They are perfectly matched in size and quality, a detail that might seem small but has an enormous impact on the complete presentation.  With a combined weight of .64 carat, these diamonds have an average color grade of D-E and an average clarity grade of VS 1-2.

A 2.03 carat unheated pear-shape pink sapphire is the crowning glory.  Accompanied by a certificate from the Gemological Institute of America, this gem is a rare find.  The medium purplish-pink hue of the stone was not enhanced or treated, but is actually completely natural.  

 

A peek inside the shank reveals the designer…  Orianne.  Located in Los Angeles, this third-generation jeweler spent her childhood learning from her father and grandfather.  Inspired by her own life experience, Orianne believes that every woman deserves quality jewelry that was made to last.  

“Orianne creates pieces simple enough to let you shine, while still serving as an accent for your daily adventures and aspirations – because classic never goes out of style.”

Evaluated by the American International Gemologists, this ring has an estimated retail value of $12,995.00.  At Joden, we’re offering this spectacular estate piece for just $4,500.00…  a deal that is just too good to pass up.

What’s New – Volume 23

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and The Latest Things

Dana and I love sharing our new and recent finds with you.  There’s nothing more gratifying than checking our social media and website to see that something we love is equally adored by our readers and followers.  We are constantly bouncing fresh finds off of each other, each time asking the same question… “What about this?”

Our styles are similar with a few minor nuances.  Dana is a lover of mourning jewelry, navette-shaped filigree rings, charming conversions and all things pearl.  I am a fan of Art Nouveau and enamels, anything with a floral theme, beautiful color and of course, our conversion creations.  Together, we bring you the very best that Joden has to offer.

This week’s selection is a bit more in my wheelhouse than hers.  Created by the legendary designer Van Craeynest, the setting portion of this ring is positively resplendent with intricate botanical details.  18 karat yellow gold and platinum combine to create this delicious ring.  A singular five-petaled blossom sits at the top of each shoulder with a trail of leaves that gradually decrease in size.  Carefully ensconced on the outer edges are a pair of coiled leaves.  Both of these details have been carved from platinum, making them stand out from the rich golden color of the ring.  

A bright bubblegum pink sapphire shines from the center of this lavishly detailed ring.  This cushion shaped fine quality gem weighs 3.31 carats and was set here in our on-premises shop.  From the master jewelers at Van Craeynest to the expert hands of our own Steve Becker, this mounting became a complete showstopper of a ring. Beautiful on any finger, I can’t help but think this piece would make an amazing non-traditional engagement ring.  New to our site, this beauty is moderately priced at $10,250.00.  From start to finish, every piece we offer is a team effort.  Discover each and every one for yourself by visiting our site and checking us out on Facebook and Instagram!
