Baubles, Bling and a Three Stone Ring

This beauty caught my eye instantly…  it checks ALOT of boxes for me.  I love the petite size of the ring, it has just the right amount of presence on the hand.  The flat-sided profile lends itself to stacking with another band or two, however, it definitely packs enough punch to stand on its own. 

Made entirely of platinum, it features classic styling from the mid-Edwardian period, circa 1910. Viewed from the edge, intricate filigree settings nestle a triple threat of gemstone bling. 

 

Those lovely curlicues encircle the tiny crown-like structure and lift it off the finger, allowing light to pass through.  A luscious red ruby sits center stage.  This old cut stone weighs approximately .65 carat and is flanked by a matched pair of scintillating European cut diamonds.  These two diamonds have a combined weight of .60 carat.  The shank of the ring comes together on the ends of this trio, creating a tight twist.  

Cascading down the shoulder are four Old Mine Cut diamonds that are bezel set within the outer edges of the ring.  Like peas in a pod, the combined weight of these four diamonds is .25 carat.  Just a slight wave of the fingers produces spectacular sparkle in this early 20th century charmer.  

At over one hundred years old, this ring is authentic and original in every way.  The overall condition of the piece is quite good, and would be an ideal non-traditional engagement ring or perhaps a bit of bling for the right hand.  The symbolism of a three-stone ring is legendary and is often referred to as a past, present and future ring.  Occasionally, this is taken one step further and the power of three is interpreted as one stone for friendship, one for love and the last for fidelity.  Bring a bit of meaning to your story with this Edwardian gem for just $1,850.00.

Pick of the Week – Volume 24

Joden Girl

Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

“Designing jewelry is an all-consuming passion, it is my hobby.  It’s my life.”

– Simon G.

Since 1980, Simon Ghanimian has been hand-sketching some of the most iconic bridal jewelry in the world.  His style is a unique combination of vintage artistry and the trends of today.  He has been known to say that he still gets his biggest thrill from creating a new piece.  After forty years, that’s quite a statement.  

Each and every piece of Simon G. jewelry is perfection from the inside out.  They are polished on the top, back, interior and even underneath the stones.  This painstaking process creates a highly reflective surface, and ultimately allows the brilliance of each diamond to truly shine.  The artisans at Simon G. work within their own unique discipline – pavé, channel, or prong setting.  

Only the finest materials are used to create these extraordinarily beautiful engagement rings.  Every creation is assigned a unique serial number, this seal of authenticity is like a birth certificate…  revealing when the piece was made and where it was sold.  In addition, every piece of Simon G. jewelry is put through ten quality assurance checkpoints.  This rigorous process ensures the supreme quality of every piece.

This 18 karat white gold gem is a classic Simon G. design.  A perfectly matched pair of pear-shaped brilliant cut diamonds flank the center stone while a delicate halo of round diamonds encircles the entire trio and cascades down the shoulders.  These thirty-six diamonds have a combined weight of .70 carat.  All of these diamonds are near colorless and have an average clarity grade of VS-SI.  

A round brilliant diamond is nestled in the center of the ring.  It weighs in at .73 carat.  This diamond dazzles with a color grade of E-F and a clarity grade of VS2-SI1.  Each element of this beauty combine to create pure perfection.  

This is our 24th Pick of the Week.  Every Monday we take an old favorite from our website and evaluate every aspect of it.  This information is used to calculate a new unbelievable price.  This Simon G. original was on our website for $6,750.00.  Today, it’s available for just $5,400.00!  Go to our site and make it yours.

Checkers Anyone?

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling and Square Things

For more than 5000 years, people have enjoyed the competitive challenge of the checkerboard.  This classic board game as we know it is a battle between two players.  Skill and ingenuity are employed in an attempt to remove your opponents pieces from the board.  Arguably, the most iconic part of the game is the board itself.  Consisting of 64 squares (8 x 8), it is laid out in an alternating pattern of one dark and then one light.  The most common color palettes are black and white or black and red. 

Occasionally, this unique pattern is utilized in gemstones.  Artisans cut stones so that the crown and table resemble a checkerboard.  The facets reflect the light, increasing the sparkle and brilliance.  When properly executed, a checkerboard cut gem will display an incredible amount of surface luster.  Moving the stone back and forth will allow it to come to life before your eyes.

These 14 karat white gold earrings are a favorite of mine.  A perfectly matched pair of checkerboard cut blue topaz gems are bezel set in these classic stud-style earrings.  A decorative rope edge adds an additional design element that elevates these deceptively simple beauties to the next level.  They are a steal for just $400.

No diamonds are needed in this bold gemstone ring.  A gem fine rubelite sits center stage in this bypass ring.  The rich warm tone of the 18 karat yellow gold is the ideal complement to this hot pink stone.  Weighing 3.00 carats, this checkerboard charmer is moderately priced at $1,500.00.

Signed “Charles Krypell”, this reversible pendant highlights a delicious checker cut peridot in the center.  This gem is surrounded by a halo of round brilliant diamonds.  With a total weight of .58 carat, these 68 diamonds amp up the bling for just $2,250.00.

Peep the killer amethyst ring in the featured image above.  Set east/west fashion within an 18 karat yellow gold wide band, this ring slays at $980.00.

When vivid color pairs with chic design, the result is anything but boring.  If your jewelry game has become a bit mundane; if you’re tired of humdrum and pining for something MORE…  visit our showroom at 144 South Broad Street, downtown Grove City or call us to purchase over the phone.  As always, we offer free shipping anywhere in the continental United States.
