Joden Girl
Baubles, Bling and the Latest Things
The older I get, the faster time flies. 2024 will be the 8th year of Joden Girl – a fact that seems impossible. It’s also the 5th year since Dana and I joined forces to become the ultimate dream team. Our goal year after year remains the same – we strive to broaden our audience, increase our presence and make the website more successful than the year before. 2023 taught us that the best way to make that happen is to continually put fresh inventory in front of you… more blogs, more photos, more posts, more reels, more stories. More, more, more. Even when we think we can’t possibly share any more jewelry… we show a little more.
Consider this a warning. Brace yourselves and load up those piggy banks because 2024 promises to be so much MORE… starting now!
Made from 18-karat yellow gold, these earrings date to the late Victorian era, circa 1880. One end of each sleek, arched wire slips through the ear while the other end attaches to a small half bead. A pair of tiny rings connect this bead to an elongated pear-shaped drop. Deceptively simple, it is these two mini links that bring life to the earring, allowing it to dance.
The drop segment is a three-dimensional hollow shell. Six Etruscan beaded lines highlight the softly rounded matte surface; they form a star pattern that bursts forth from a small concave oval. Nestled deep within this tiny hollow is a collet-set natural emerald. Primitively cut, these gems shimmer and shine within the deep golden glow of the earrings.
The antique beauties conclude with true Victorian style… fringe! Mimicking a fan, sixteen graduated wires dangle from the base of each earring. Every one moves independently in the most charming way. From the curve of the wire to the tip of the center fringe, these earrings measure 1.75 inches and sway enchantingly from the ear. Showcasing the best that the Victorian Era and Etruscan Revival had to offer, they’re available now for just $1,375.00.
