Stacking On Up – The Earring Edition

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling and Stacking Rings

Last week we talked about the ever-increasing popularity of stack-able rings.  They’re everywhere… even Amazon is trying to get a piece of the action.  This trend is not new at all; actually, the art of piling up rings has captivated us for centuries.  It’s been going on so long, that it can’t really be called a trend… it’s a wardrobe staple.  And, it’s not just for rings… any kind of jewelry is stack-able.  If you have multiple ear piercings, this is your sign to get to Joden.  We have studs, hoops, huggies, dangles, drops, climbers, threaders and even a couple of cuffs!

Dana and I had to swap spots for this body shot; she has three sets of piercings in her ears.  She has the perfect set-up for a sensational ear stack.  

The inspiration for this combination begins with these dangles.  The rich tones of 18-karat yellow gold wrap four pieces of apple-green jade in a warm embrace.  Flashes of light dance across the mottled surface of each piece.  A singular round diamond separates the smaller jade from the larger.  Classic and timeless, these beauties are available for just $725.00.

Next, is a must-have for every jewelry wardrobe.  Also made from 18-karat yellow gold, these traditional four-prong settings cradle a pair of dappled, lush green jade rounds.  Featuring threaded posts and backs, these studs will quickly become your go-to choice.  Make them yours for just $625.00.

Simple, yet effective, the third pair of earrings in this stack are small gold balls.  Pretty and petite, they’re the perfect size.  Made from 14-karat yellow gold, they also feature threaded posts and backs.  Priced at a mere $65.00, these won’t last long.

Last, but certainly not least is a tiny c-shaped cuff.  No piercing is needed for this clever piece.  Made by Luvente, this cuff is part of a modern jewelry line that we carry.  It’s 14-karat yellow gold with a trio of tiny, round brilliant diamond accents.  Able to be worn on the helix, the conch or the lobe of the ear, this tiny treasure is available for $195.00

If you’ve been adding it up as we go along, you’ll have come to the same conclusion as I have… this fabulous look can be yours for a total of $1,610.00.  That’s two pairs of 18-karat yellow gold classics, one pair of 14-karat yellow gold balls and one cuff.  Wear them together, separately or combined with any of your other earrings, this ear stack is too good to pass up.

Baubles, Bling and Stacking Rings

Some trends never go out of style… they morph and adapt, but the idea is the same.  Stacking is one of those things.  With roots all the way back to the 16th century, this ever-popular look began with something called a gimmel ring.  This incredibly romantic ring was made up of two or more interlocking bands that could be worn separately by a betrothed couple and then later reunited to be worn by the bride.  By the 1700’s, guard rings joined the party.  Usually a small and well-fitted band, guard rings were stacked on top of the more valuable wedding ring to keep it from sliding off.  Eventually, these early inventions evolved into what we now call a wedding band.  

Today, we are stacking everything…  necklaces, bracelets, and of course, rings.  The possibilities are truly only limited by your personal style and imagination.  I like to mix metals, styles and time periods.  My engagement ring is an Edwardian platinum ring.  I added a handmade, modern wedding band that combines platinum with 18-karat yellow gold.  Later, my great-grandmother’s wedding band came into the mix.  For our 20th wedding anniversary, I decided on a narrow gold band with milgrain beading as well as an antique diamond band.  I also have two or three Victorian carved bands.  On any given day, one or more of these are stacked on my left hand.  

Today, I’m showing two similar yet different stacks.  Each one has five unique rings – one stack showcases the feminine blush tones of rose gold while the other leans into the warm tones of yellow gold.  Both arrangements feature rubies and diamonds.  It’s always fun to add some color to your stack – that can be done with metals, gemstones or even enamel.  Add an antique ring for a bit of vintage flair.  

Stacking is a great and affordable way to update a wedding set.  Birthstone rings and engraved bands are other great options.  At Joden, our cases are overflowing with possibilities.  Stop in and try something on today!

What’s New – Volume 52

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling and the Latest Things

We’re already seeing trends for the 2022 holiday shopping season.  The most requested gifts have been gold chains, diamond earrings and colorful gemstone rings.  Our cases are overflowing with a stellar selection of all of these things and so much more.  Jewelry is on everyone’s wish list…  but don’t wait for Santa.  Come to Joden Jewelers – it’s the place where dreams come true.

   

If you’re craving a pop of color, this latest addition to our estate department is the perfect treat.  Made from 18-karat yellow gold, this band has so much to offer.  Spanning the top half of the ring are rectangular blue sapphires.  Bright in color, these twelve gems have a combined weight of 2.00 carats.  They are channel set between four rows of pavé-set round brilliant diamonds.  These forty-four diamonds add 1.00 carat of dazzling sparkle to this eye-catching band.

This ring plays well with others but is also more than capable of standing on its own.  Relatively low profile and silky smooth on the finger, this band is comfortable and a joy to wear.  As I write this, I am watching the light bounce off of each stone…  I’m wearing it, of course.  

It has real presence on the hand without being ostentatious.  If you love the classic combination of blue sapphires, colorless diamonds and high karat gold…  this is the piece for you.  Check it on in the store today.  It’s going to be on our website soon for just $1900.00.  If it lasts that long!
