Rolling In Clover

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling and Wishful Things

As we approach nearly a year of living in a COVID world, each of us is filled with hope for the coming months.  The icy cold days of February are behind us and the bright sunny days of March are upon us.  With the sun shining through my window, I can’t help but be optimistic.  

St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner.  This Irish celebration is rich with tradition and perhaps one of the most iconic symbols of all time, the shamrock.  Many confuse the four-leafed clover with the shamrock, which has just three leaves.  They are believed to represent the Holy Trinity – the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  

The shamrock, or three-leafed clover has been a beloved symbol in jewelry for hundreds of years.  These charming little sprigs are often seen in Victorian jewelry, like this piece.

This sweet necklace is one of our favorites – a conversion piece featuring not one but two tiny clovers.  Previously a bar pin, this 14 karat yellow gold beauty is ideal for every day wear.  It measures 17 inches in length but can easily be adjusted to fit anyone.  Six seed pearls add to the charm of this dainty jewel, modestly priced at just $325.00.

These 18 karat yellow gold earrings are irresistible and complete the look!   A series of tiny seed pearls have been hand-sewn onto a solid gold clover shape.  Perfectly sized, these shamrock earrings are lightweight and comfortable.  Hanging just below the lobe, they offer subtle ornamentation – just the thing for every day wear.  Priced at just $375 – they’re too good to pass up.

I can’t seem to resist the combination of these pieces!   It’s complimentary without being matchy-matchy.  Both are listed on our site – add them BOTH to your cart for just $700!  Whether you’re celebrating St. Patrick’s Day or simply enjoying the sun – do it wearing this dainty duo.  They’re sure to bring a smile to your face.

The End Of The Rainbow

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling and Lucky Things

With shamrocks, leprechauns and gold coins popping up all over the place, it can only mean one thing…  St. Patrick’s Day is almost here.  All around the world, glasses will be raised in celebration of the Irish heritage and millions of people will be looking for that elusive pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.  

I wonder who will be found at the end of this rainbow pendant?  Made from a rich 18 karat gold, this beauty is bursting with bold color…  ROYGBIV is represented in glorious splendor.  A series of square step cut sparklers form the center section of the necklace:

Red (R) – Ruby

Orange (O) – Fire Opal

Yellow (Y) – Citrine

Green (G) – Tsavorite Garnet

Blue (B) – Sapphire

Indigo (I) – Sapphire

Violet (V) – Amethyst

For me, the most striking thing about this piece is the extra fine quality of each colored stone.  Every one is gem grade, bright and beautiful.  The combination of all seven is a sight to behold.  They are ensconced between two vertical rows of round brilliant diamonds.  The outer edges are scalloped, adding another dimension to this multicolored masterpiece.  It is accompanied by a certificate from the International Gemological Institute of America, valuing it at $2,340.00.  At Joden, it’s available for just $1,750.00!

Allegedly, if you captured a leprechaun and never took your our eyes off of him, he was unable to disappear.  As payment for his ransom, the leprechaun disclosed the location of his pot of gold, often outwitting his kidnapper by saying it was at the end of the rainbow.  The trick is that rainbows actually have no beginning and no end, they form full circles.  Clever!

While you probably won’t find a pot of gold, or the end of the rainbow – at Joden, you can always find just the right thing.  

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