Three years ago, Joe strongly encouraged Dana and I to broaden the scope of the pieces that we showcase on social media and here, in the blog. He was specifically interested in offering high-end luxury items. After a lively discussion, an agreement was reached, and this special edition of the blog was born. Volume 1 began with these words…

“The treasures at Joden are seemingly endless. Our showcases are overflowing with the finest antique, estate, and modern jewelry. From Victorian vignettes to Art Deco dazzlers – our collection is truly something to behold. What you may not know is that not every gem is on display. Some lucky guests have received a private showing in Joe’s office. There, nestled into the golden oak cabinetry, tucked between endless volumes of Sotheby’s and Christie’s catalogs are the crème de la crème; an assemblage of the rarest jewels suitable for even the most seasoned connoisseurs and private collectors.”

Since then, we have showcased fourteen truly special pieces. Today is the fifteenth installment. Although modern jewelry isn’t typically my jam, this ring was simply irresistible. Made entirely of 18-karat white gold, this beauty is a three-stone ring on steroids.

A matched pair of fine lush green emeralds flank the center stone. Each one is cut in a half-moon shape and is encapsulated within a diamond halo. The rich tone of these precious gems cannot be captured in a photo – it needs to be appreciated in person. Combined, these emeralds have a total weight of approximately .70 carat. Fifty-eight round brilliants create shimmering borders around the three main stones and decorate the shoulders and edges of this spectacular ring. These diamonds have a total weight of approximately .50 carat.

The emeralds and melee diamond trim form the perfect stage for the true star of the show – a killer 1.78 carat round brilliant diamond. Certified by the Gemological Institute of America – this bright white diamond is an E color and an SI1 in clarity. Sparkling from every angle, this diamond is truly luxurious.

The birthstone for the month of April is diamond, while emerald is the birthstone for May. Emerald is also the designated gem for both the 20th and the 35th anniversary. Perfect for so many reasons, this natural earth-mined diamond ring is available for $16,500. Not yet on our website, it can be found in the inner sanctum… Joe’s office. Drop by and request a tour. You never know… you just might take a bit of luxury home with you.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. No industry demonstrates this better than jewelry. New styles and trends evolve continually, at the same time, we see hints of eras gone by. At Joden, we have three stone rings from the past 200 years… Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian, and Art Deco. In 2001, De Beers capitalized on the look by dubbing it the “past, present, and future” ring. Today, more than twenty years later, the label this iconic brand created continues to speak to jewelry lovers everywhere.

In 2024, customers are leaning into traditional elegance while simultaneously infusing their own spirit into their jewelry. Showcasing that concept, this week’s ring is deceptively simple. At a glance, it seems like a basic three-stone ring. And it is but it’s also SO much more. Instead of three round stones , or three oval stones, this ring juxtaposes soft curves with sharp angles. The shoulders of the platinum ring feature a pair of step-cut bullet-shaped diamonds. These near colorless diamonds have a total weight of .75 carat.

The geometric lines of the side stones stand in contrast to the warm curves of the center diamond. Weighing 1.01 carats, this gem comes alive with rich, deep tones. Reminiscent of a fine bourbon, the technical term for this color is Fancy Deep Brownish Orange. Certified by the Gemological Institute of America – this beautiful color is completely natural. Only one in 10,000 carats of cut diamonds displays fancy color… a true rarity.

The platinum shank of the ring features a knife edge; the tip of that edge aligns perfectly with the point of the bullet diamond. It’s a small detail that makes all the difference. This modern beauty is the culmination of many quiet nuances that combine in the best possible way. Priced at $10,500.00, this ring is the latest edition to our site. Add a splash of bourbon on the rocks to your life today.

Joe’s Special Box – Volume 138

It was no surprise to discover this sweet little ring tucked away in Joe’s Special Box… it’s everything any antique jewelry lover could want. Perfectly petite and made from 18-karat white gold, this Art Deco ring is in near perfect condition from top to bottom. Currently measuring a size 6.25, it can be adjusted up or down to accommodate most finger sizes (within reason).

Typical of the Art Deco era, the center stone is a square cut simulated blue sapphire. Artisans often opted for synthetic colored stones due to their color consistency and flawless clarity. Although it’s not a natural sapphire, the bright blue hue of this little stone provides a great pop of color for this otherwise monochromatic ring. It is nestled between a matched pair of Old European cut diamonds. These two gems have a combined weight of approximately .08 carat. Their high crown angles and open culets speak to the age of the diamonds as well as the ring itself. All three stones are framed by a milgrain-edged elongated hexagon border.

Situated just outside that beaded edge is a secondary perimeter – this one is accentuated by a hand-engraved pattern of diagonal lines mixed with round arches. The decorative etching continues down the apex of each shoulder with a chevron pattern that gets smaller as it descends. Further filling in the shoulders and both sides of the ring are two distinct filigree designs… one is a series of curves and the other resembles a row of columns with a scalloped top.

All of this intricate and precise detail is accomplished on a miniature scale – this ring measures just half an inch across the top. It’s dainty, darling and available! It’s priced at $800 – a steal for a ring that looks like it’s never been worn. Check it out in our 144 South Broad Street showroom or on our website.
