These pieces are not just modern; we also have budget-conscious vintage beauties. Today, we are featuring seven Victorian necklaces that range in price from just $250-$1250.00. Whether it be a pendant (chain included) or a complete necklace, each one is ready to wear. Above, on the left, is a 10-karat yellow gold lavalier-style pendant with two leaves, a singular diamond and a small freshwater pearl. Measuring 18-inches in length, it’s available for just $250.00. On the right is another 10-karat yellow gold gem. With a square dangle set on edge, this pendant centers on a round diamond. Also 18-inches in length, this pendant is priced at $350.00.

Suspended from a 20-inch chain, this one can be yours for just $650.00. Next, is an elegant, draped necklace made from both 10 and 14-karat yellow gold.

I have to say that one of the most common misconceptions about our store is that everything we have is expensive. That is simply not true. With an ever-growing inventory that boasts everything from sterling silver to diamonds, I can promise that we DO have something for everyone. So, watch for our stories and posts; read the blogs. Then stop in or send Santa our way… everyone needs a Joden box under their tree!

Birthstone Bauble

People are a little bit quirky about birthstones. Some people like them; some don’t. Adding to the mystique surrounding them are many superstitions associated with the sparkling beauties that mark each month. On the up side, it is believed that good luck, happiness, health and prosperity will be given to those wearing their own birthstone. On the opposite side, many believe that it is bad luck to wear a birthstone that isn’t yours. This particular omen seems to follow opal more than any other gem. Certainly, some birthstones are more popular than others. Having been a part of the jewelry industry for so long, I would say that April, May, July and September have a higher approval rating than August, November and December… until recent years. I can’t explain it, but citrine (November’s stone) has skyrocketed in favor over the past few years.

Perhaps the rise in popularity of the warm, sunny citrine is a direct correlation to our vast collection of antique and estate jewelry. A popular choice during the Victorian era, citrine was a star player in exceptional pieces like this. Simple and elegant, this late Victorian necklace is made from yellow gold and highlights a single deep gold citrine at the center.

Garlands of cable-link chain extend from the center, looping down and back up, creating a soft, feminine feel. Three individual drops descent from the center, the one in the middle longer than the other two. Each one ends in a briolette cut citrine gem. Faceted the entire way around, these stones sparkle and shine with every turn.

Adding to the ethereal appearance of this late 19th century beauty are nine creamy white seed pearls. They mark each direction of the center – north, south, east and west. They also notate the two places where the separate lengths of chain come together and the middle point of each drop. In all, this antique example is in excellent condition and would make a stellar gift for anyone… whether they were born in November or not. If you’re admiring it for yourself, it’s available for just $2,150.00.

Joe’s Special Box Luxury Edition – Volume 25

The top trend predicted for 2025 is a philosophy that Joe has supported for years…. bigger is better; more IS more. Just one visit to his office is concrete proof that Joe does, indeed, believe that size matters. Take a step inside the door of the inner sanctum of Joden Jewelers, and you will be overcome not just by the amount of jewelry inside, but also the size of it. From a renowned collection of Victorian treasures nestled inside the original boxes to an award-winning array of one-of-a-kind pieces crafted on the premises… if Joe can dream it, we have it. If “bigger is better” is the theme of 2025, we’re SO ready.

When it comes to lavish, over-the-top fashion and luxurious accessories, no one did it better than the Victorians… not even Joe Murawski. Beginning and ending with the years of Queen Victoria’s reign (1837-1901), the era was characterized by elaborate designs brought to life with sizable gems of every shape and color. Today’s featured piece showcases Victorian style to perfection.

Made from 15-karat yellow gold, this layout necklace achieves an ideal balance between delicate composition and jaw-dropping beauty. Measuring 17-inches in length, this late Victorian charmer rests comfortably at the base of the throat. Three interlocking tiers are set with soft blue aquamarines, sparkling peridot gems and creamy pearls. The dainty gemstone flowers combine with golden chain garlands to create an ethereal wonder.

In the photo above, I have paired this seemingly fancy necklace with a simple embroidered chambray shirt dress that I picked up at a local thrift store. Don’t save your jewelry for special occasions. Wear your diamonds to the supermarket; rock your pearls with jeans and a t-shirt. No need to worry about losing this necklace by wearing it out and about – it has a safety chain incorporated right in! Proving that elaborate jewelry can still be delicately beautiful and ideal for day-to-day life, this necklace is available now for $6,350.00. Call and make it yours today.
