Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

Over the next month, we will be celebrating the holidays in style by offering eight of our most beloved pieces at new and unbelievable pricing! We are kicking off the festivities with this stunning statement ring. Sitting flush with the finger, this oversized oval ring is constructed entirely of platinum. Sure to attract attention, this Mid Century Modern ring is as comfortable as it is beautiful.

Hand-assembled, the under-gallery of the ring displays a unique arrangement of triangles that form the support system for the top of the ring. Observe how the back of the ring is curved to fit the contour of the finger creating an easy and enjoyable fit. The band is narrow, allowing the focus to be on the gem-set surface. A full bezel encapsulates the deep blue round earth-mined sapphire center. Weighing approximately 1.50 carats, this jewel provides a spark of color in this otherwise colorless piece.

Surrounding this navy blue sapphire are two complete halos of diamonds. There are thirty diamonds of both Old European and Round Brilliant cuts. Combined these sparklers offer three carats of scintillating sparkle. The outer edge of the ring is scalloped, perfectly forming to the natural curve of the diamonds. This detail adds a bit of feminine whimsy to the ring. Both the bezel around the sapphire and the raised edge that separates the two rows of diamonds are decorated with a beaded milgrain edge, a classic detail that softens the overall appearance of the piece.

On the hand, this vintage beauty stretches nearly knuckle to knuckle, measuring 7/8 of an inch in length. It makes quite a statement. Previously priced at $8,800.00 – this beauty is now available for just $5,500.00! After a bit of quick mental math, that’s a savings of $3,300. Do not sleep on this deal. If you have a sapphire and diamond ring on your Christmas list, skip the letter to Santa and come to Joden instead.

Baubles, Bling and Sapphire Things

It’s September… in our house, that means school and of course, football. With a player and a coach in the house, our lives are consumed by practice, mounds of sweaty laundry, endless food preparation and Friday night lights. At work, September means sapphires – it’s the birthstone for this month. I couldn’t resist kicking off the month in style.

Juxtaposing an antique piece against a modern one often inspires conversation. This unique pairing celebrates the halo style, a look that has been utilized for hundreds of years. For the past few years, these delicate rings of diamonds have dominated and defined the engagement ring industry… whether they been sculpted, hidden, dainty or bold, there’s no question that halos are here to stay.

These modern 18-karat yellow gold earrings are a staple in every jewelry wardrobe. A luscious pair of cornflower blue sapphires form the center of each earring. Held in place by four prongs, they have a combined weight of 2.16 carats. The color is simply divine – the perfect sapphire shade.

Completely surrounding each one are twelve round brilliant diamonds, twenty-four in total. The complete weight of these sparklers is 1.20 carats! The border of the earring follows the contour of the diamond forming a soft scalloped edge. Offering classic appeal, these earrings are available in our showroom for just $2,950.00.

Complementing the modern vibe of the earrings is an Edwardian dream. A crisp layer of platinum tops a rich 18-karat yellow gold base. This hinged bangle features one round sapphire as the center stone. Presenting a deep blue hue, this midnight beauty weighs approximately .85 carat. Eight old cut diamonds surround the center in demure fashion – the magic of the moment happens in the bangle itself. Sixty-seven diamonds fully wrap the wrist.

It’s an eternity bangle. How incredibly lovely and romantic! In total, the seventy-five diamonds have a complete weight of 5.00 carats! Made near the turn of the century, this stunner is the latest addition to our antique and estate department and our website. Luxury at its finest, this bangle can be yours for $8,700.00.

If you can’t have both, which piece would you choose? This pair of modern sapphire and diamond halo earrings or that antique eternity bangle? This or that?
