Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

If I had not gotten a diamond engagement ring, my next choice would definitely have been a sapphire. There are so many reasons to choose this precious stone…

Sapphire is readily available in a kaleidoscope of dazzling colors… from the deepest blue to the palest pink, there is delightfully delicious hue for everyone.
With so many colors, shapes, sizes and qualities in the market – from reasonably priced to extravagantly luxurious, there’s a perfect fit for every budget.
As a part of the corundum family, sapphire is a 9 on the Moh’s scale of hardness. It is incredibly strong and scratch resistant making it ideal for daily wear.
The value of natural, untreated sapphires is trending upward, increasing the demand for fine gems and adding merit to even the most ordinary stones.

I am continually captivated by deep, rich blue sapphires like the one in this ring. Albeit petite, this cabochon beauty sings from the center of the ring. Weighing just .95 carat, the smooth surface of the gem offers subtle shine and sumptuous color.

Six platinum prongs secure the sapphire amidst a sea of round brilliant diamonds. Twenty-four bright white diamonds fill the elegantly shaped outline of the ring. With a combined weight of .50 carat, the diamonds shimmer and shine from every angle.

Made entirely of platinum, the feel of this ring is divine. It’s truly a dream to wear. It slides over knuckle and settles with silky smoothness at the base of the finger. I am charmed by the outline of the piece… the back of the shank mimics the front – a design element I have never seen, but love! Measuring a 5.25, the ring can be sized up or down.

Perfect as a unique and sophisticated engagement ring, or perhaps a simple one-and-done wedding band look, or even a just-because-you-love-it ring, this stunner is now available at a new price. Previously priced at $4,999.00 – take it home now for just $3,150.00!

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.

This or That – Volume 10

Baubles, Bling and Art Deco Rings

Let’s play an easy little game where you choose between two things…

14-karat or 18-karat?
Subtle Style or Statement Piece?
Natural or Imitation?

In the 10th edition of “This or That,” we are waffling between a dynamic duo of Art Deco rings. Although they have many similarities – there are also some minute differences that just might tip the scale one way or the other.

Let’s compare… both rings were made in the Art Deco era – the years between 1915-1935. Arguably the most popular period, Art Deco jewelry was influenced by architecture featuring geometric patterns with straight lines, squares and other shapes to created stunning designs. Both rings have a rectangular shape accented by blue sapphires and diamonds.

So much the same and yet so different. We first shared this beauty a few months ago, featuring it on our social media and our website. It’s made from 18-karat white gold. The elongated rectangle sits east to west across the finger with a series of four french-cut natural Ceylon sapphires spanning the center. These bright blue gems have a combined weight of 1.oo carat. Surrounding them are twenty-four rose cut diamonds that offer .60 carat of shimmering sparkle. Priced at $2,400.00 – it’s available now.

This newly acquired stunner is made from 14-karat white gold. Much like the first ring, this piece also has french cut sapphires across the center… however, there are only three and these ones are synthetic. Many people assume that because a ring is antique, the stones must be natural. In reality, imitation stones were first made in the 1870’s! And so, although these sapphires aren’t earth-mined, they are original to the ring. Set in two rows on either side of the center are six single-cut diamonds that have a combined weight of .20 carat. This ring is also available on our site, priced at just $1,450.00.

And so… whether you prefer 14-karat or 18-karat white gold; or whether natural Ceylon sapphires or imitation sapphires suit your fancy… we have a ring for you. With both beauties featured on our site, the choice is yours. Will you select the subtle style of this 18-karat white gold charmer with natural blue sapphires or perhaps you’re crazy for that 14-karat white gold statement ring with imitation sapphires. This or that?
