Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

Selling on the internet is challenging. The most successful websites are both inviting and professional. The photos are creative and fresh. Noteworthy sellers incorporate social media posts that embrace the latest Instagram and Facebook trends like reels and videos. Bloggers that flourish manage to be engaging, relevant yet not repetitive. It’s a heck of a lot of work and can be frustrating. However, when we get it right, it’s exhilarating!

Dana and I are constantly fine-tuning the website; we love to try new things and bounce ideas off of each other. We research trends to see what jewelry is going to be hot this season. You might even see the same piece of jewelry more than once. If a particularly lovely bauble doesn’t sell the first time, we try again. Sometimes, we even offer special pricing.

This week, we are re-introducing an old friend that has been on our site for a long time… too long, to be honest. It’s an ultra-feminine tassel pendant made entirely of platinum. The arched top features a singular quatrefoil flower with a bezel set diamond center; two additional bezel set diamonds are situated to the left and right. Three individual strands dangle from the curved top; the center one is a touch longer than the other two.

The floral motif continues with a series of six tulip-shaped links – there are two on each dangling strand. Each tiny bloom is upside down and set with an Old European cut diamond. Altogether, there are fourteen diamonds that have a total weight of .35 carat. These sparklers have an average color grade of H-I and an average clarity grade of SI1-2. A bright green pop of color is provided by a sculpted emerald bead.

Three natural baroque pearls cap the bottom of each tassel. Measuring 1.75 inches from the top of the bail to the tip of the pearl, this pendant hangs from a 16-inch platinum cable-link chain. Previously priced at $2,550.00 – this ethereal beauty is available now for just $1,500.00! That’s a substantial savings on this vintage find.

If you’ve had your eye on this pendant, now’s the time. I can promise that this is one Pick of the Week that won’t last long!

Baubles, Bling and Transformed Things

It’s no secret, I LOVE conversion jewelry. You might even say I’m conversion-crazed! Living in a throw-away society where each of us create almost 1600 pounds of trash per year, I love that we’re up-cycling and repurposing these broken or unworn pieces.

Some of my favorite transformations include:

Pins to pendants
Pins to Rings
Pins to Earrings
Stick Pins to Charms for Pendants and Charm Bracelets
Cufflinks to Earrings
Single Earrings to Pendants

There are endless options and countless reasons for re-imagining jewelry. Perhaps you inherited a brooch that isn’t your jam. Maybe you’ve been through a divorce and you want to do something with those rings. It could be that your style has changed over the years and you have a piece that needs a refresh. Whatever the case may be, don’t hesitate to take something old and create something new.

With the holidays on the horizon, the conversion case at Joden is brimming with all the latest revived treasures. We redesign 99% of these beauties here on the premises – but occasionally we buy a piece of jewelry that was already updated, like this platinum pendant.

The transformation is so well done that at first glance, you might think this lovely gem was always a necklace. It wasn’t until I turned it over that I was able to discern that it had once been something else entirely. The center section on the back side is concave. The gallery is perfectly contoured to lay flush with the finger… this Art Deco pendant used to be a ring. It isn’t often that someone takes a ring and changes it into something else. This beauty is an unusual example.

The craftsmanship is superb, featuring hand pierced openings and milgrain edges. Nestled in the center is an open-culet Old European Cut diamond. There are an additional twenty-four diamonds set in the outer edges – they are all single-cut stones. All diamonds have a combined weight of approximately .50 carat.

Although the original design sat like a square on the finger, I love that someone gave it a jaunty spin. The pendant dangles from one corner and slides on an 18-inch platinum cable chain. Priced at just $1,725.00, it’s available in the store. I hope that you’ve enjoyed this conversion diversion as much as I have!
