Baubles, Bling and a Perfectly Lovely Ring

We love sharing “WOW” pieces… those breath-taking jewels that our followers go crazy for. These are the true one-of-a-kind antique wonders, the larger-than-life diamond rings, and phenomenal gem-fine colored stones. Often, these are the posts that blow-up… there will be countless likes, endless comments and more than one private message. The comments range anywhere from the most mundane “beautiful” to a snarky “too rich for my blood”. Showstoppers like this get shared multiple times with similar results. Often placed with private collector and select clientele, we sell our share of those rare beauties.

However, there’s no question that the posts that sell themselves are the unique diamond bands. Whether it be Victorian, Edwardian or Art Deco, these whimsical darlings sell every single time. There’s something so appealing about the history that could be wrapped up in a vintage wedding or anniversary band! Dana and I always have an eye out for bands with unusual details like flowers, bows, or engraving like this sweet little ring.

Crafted in the late 1930’s, this three-stone style band is made from 14-karat white gold. Three European cut diamonds span the center, each one prong set inside a square border. An additional pair of single-cut diamonds are set on the outermost edges of this trio. Combined, these five diamonds have a total weight of 1.00 carat. Near colorless, these diamonds have an average clarity grade of SI1-2. The shoulders of the ring are decorated with milgrain beaded lines, delicate scrollwork and tiny clusters of white gold beads.

On the hand, this Art Deco band offers great presence. It can be worn alone, or stacked with one or two of your favorite rings. Currently measuring a size 6.75, our expert jeweler can fit it to nearly any finger. Living in a throw-away society has really made us appreciate the craftsmanship of eras gone by. Instead of buying something brand new, choose the value and chic style offered by a great piece of estate jewelry… a thing of beauty. With decades of life left in it, this diamond band is priced at just $1,750.00! Soon to be added to our website, check it out while it’s still available!

Ruby Red

Baubles, Bling and Birthstone Things

Often described as the color of love and passion, red is undeniably one our favorite colors. Worldwide, it is the second most popular with over 15 percent of people choosing it. At least nineteen different gemstones come in red – rubellite, spinel, diamond, garnet, and topaz just to name a few. The most beloved crimson gem is, of course, the lovely ruby.

As the birthstone for the month of July, ruby naturally occurs in a broad range of color. It is the most significant factor in determining the worth of a ruby. The finest shade is a pure, vibrant red known as “pigeon’s blood”. Additional varieties include purplish red and orange-red. The intensity of the color also contributes to the worth of the ruby – not too dark and not too light. The shade must be just right. These factors combine to calculate the monetary value of each individual ruby.

This understated beauty has been in our collection for awhile. Made in a classic three-stone style, the 18-karat yellow gold ring cradles a rich red oval ruby in the center. Weighing exactly 1.24 carats, the precious stone is held in place by four prongs situated at the 2, 4, 8 and ten o’clock positions. The bright scarlet tone of the ruby is delightfully accented by a matched pair of yellow diamonds.

Sculpted into hearts, these natural fancy yellow diamonds have a combined weight of 1.08 carats. The red and yellow color combination is unusual; it’s not often seen in the jewelry world. Both tones are on the same end of the color spectrum, so they complement each other quite nicely. The red ruby shimmers quietly between the dazzling brilliance of the two yellow diamonds.

There are so many possibilities… a birthstone ring, a right-hand ring, an anniversary ring, or even an engagement ring. A classic style set with a unique color pairing, this ring is available now for $7,850.00.

Joe’s Special Box Luxury Edition – Volume 18

Baubles, Bling and A Collector’s Things

Most traditional engagement rings feature one center stone – a singular focal point. From year to year, generation to generation, the trends evolve and change. Popular styles are often influenced by celebrities, movie stars and royalty. In the 1960’s, Mia Farrow inspired an entire generation to fall in love with pear-shaped diamonds. The asscher diamond rose to fame with a little help from Elizabeth Taylor. The 1980’s were all about the marquise cut and the 2000’s were positively dripping with princess cut sparklers. All of these had one thing in common… one center stone.

All of that changed in 2001, when DeBeers launched an advertising campaign that took the diamond ring market by storm. What was this ground-breaking phenomenon, you ask? It was a simple three-stone ring. The marketing masterminds at DeBeers dubbed the “Past, Present and Future” ring. The stone on the left was for the past, the stone on the right was for the present and the stone in the center was for the future. Adding this touch of romanticism to an already incredibly sentimental engagement ring was sheer genius.

We’ve covered engagement rings with a featured center stone and the Past, Present and Future three-stone ring. Hmmm… seems like we may have skipped something in between. We skipped from one to three. What about two-stone rings? Admittedly, it’s a bit more of a unique look… but two-stone rings have actually been around since the days of Napoleon and Josephine. Aptly christened the “Toi et Moi”, the two-stone ring is designed for “you and me”.

This antique beauty is a bit of luxury from the Edwardian era. Made entirely of platinum, this turn-of-the-century ring showcases a perfectly matched pair of European Cut diamonds. With a combined weight of 2.20 carats, these dazzlers are set side by side within the vintage mounting. Decorated with delicate hand-pierced designs, tiny milgrain beading and platinum scrolls – this two-stone ring is perfection. Thirty-six supplementary diamonds accent every nook and cranny. These gems offer an additional .30 carat of bling. An ideal choice for a non-traditional engagement ring, this two-stone beauty is the latest bit of luxury from Joe’s Special Box. Make it yours for just $11,800.00.
