Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

Is your head in the clouds? Are you bewitched by the light of the silvery moon? If you answered yes, then you are on trend for the 2020 fall season. Audiences of every age are captivated by all things celestial… crescent moons, suns and stars! These ethereal gems are certainly bringing the heat this year – but perhaps you were already a fan. Our Pick of the Week will have you requesting “Beam Me Up“!

This late Victorian pendant centers on a luminescent oval-shaped moonstone, cut en cabochon. Folklore abounds regarding this shimmering stone. Some claim that it can solidify an amorous liaison while others boast of it’s talismanic properties… providing protection, health, and good fortune.

Superstition aside, there’s no doubt about the allure of moonstone. It is one of the most requested gems in our inventory – unfortunately, very little of it is available. The appeal lies within two unique characteristics… adularescence and chatoyancy. Combined, these two phenomena create a dazzling effect that is hard to resist.

The moonstone center is beautifully enhanced by concentric borders of both enameled designs as well as intricate metal work. There are three oval rings, the first one (closest to the center) features a two tone light and dark blue pattern. The second ring is a band of hand cut azures with black and white enamel enhancement and the final ring is a soft blue with tiny golden dots. It’s reminiscent of the works of the esteemed Carlo Giuliano.

Previously priced at $6,750.00

NEW UNBELIEVABLE PRICE: $4,800.00

There’s no question, there is definitely a lot of anticipation involved when you gift a piece of jewelry. It begins with the presentation. At Joden, it starts with our signature matte black bag and our name embossed in glossy gold letters. Squeals of excitement are often elicited when a Joden bag appears! Multiple layers of golden striped tissue are protruding from the top with an exquisitely wrapped package nestled inside.

Victorians understood the importance of a great first impression. Custom-fitted leather boxes were hand-crafted for each treasured piece. Upon opening, the interiors were carefully lined with plush velvet and rich satin – hinting at the luxury ensconced within. Original vintage boxes can fetch hundreds of dollars even with nothing inside.

Feast you eyes upon this beauty… an absolutely delicious Mid-Victorian demi-parure. This 20th century treat is comprised of a matching 18 karat yellow gold brooch and earrings. Circular in shape and three-dimensional in style, these gems are rich with unique details.

A floral motif comes to life with an Etruscan beaded outline artfully detailing a multi-petaled blossom with a bold pavé turquoise center. Seventy-nine bright blue stones are set edge to edge creating a unique style. The earring itself is a miniature version of the brooch, dangling from the ear on an elegant wire. In pristine condition, these sets are a rarity. This one is available on our site for just $5000.00.

At Joden, we revel in the full experience… not a single detail is missed. Meet us on social media – our Instagram and Facebook pages showcase some of our finest offerings. Then head on over to our stunning website, where you can browse and purchase fine pieces of antique, estate, and modern jewelry.

Pick of the Week – Volume 16

Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

The Pick of the Week is my favorite feature blog. I adore the idea of making some of our most cherished items more affordable! Who wouldn’t love that? Without question, the diamond engagement rings have been the most popular pieces.

This week, we’re focusing on a different price point… an authentic, mint- condition Victorian ring. It’s a tiny treasure! Made from 9 karat yellow gold, with 18 karat gold gilding, this ring is perfection. I love the architectural outline… with gentle curves and bold edges. Distinctly divided into segments, this antique three stone ring is beautiful from every angle.

One rose cut diamond is set within an eight-pointed star in the center. It’s flanked by a pair of old cut rubies that are also star-set. This style was quite popular during the Victorian era, adding a bit of flair to each little gem. A pair of triangles are carefully etched into each side of the shank.

Three distinct hallmarks are stamped inside the shank of this English ring. It’s a wonderful example of fine antique jewelry. Previously priced at $850.00, this piece is available now for just $675.00!
