In 1896, Alfred Van Cleef joined forces with his father-in-law, Salomon Arpels and created one of the most iconic brands of all time. In the 125 year history of the company, the Van Cleef & Arpels name has become synonymous with luxury jewelry, watches and perfume. Business has never been better for the French firm. With new modern pieces available in their signature upscale boutiques or online from their lavish site – these sumptuous statement pieces never go out of style. In fact, vintage Van Cleef is often even more desirable than the au courant pieces.

E-commerce giants like 1stDibs are dominating the online shopping industry, and have become a valuable resource for both retailers and collectors. These sites often feature high-end brands, including Van Cleef & Arpels. While Joden.com does not yet have as large an audience as 1stDibs, we are proud to offer a selection that is every bit as good and in many cases… even better.

Many of our rarest pieces can be found in Joe’s Special Box. This ring is no exception. Made entirely of 18 karat yellow gold, this beauty positively screams opulence. Seventy-nine round brilliant diamonds are pavé set into the unique bypass style. These stones have a combined weight of approximately 2.00 carats. Like all Van Cleef designs, the quality of each stone is above par… these colorless brilliants have an average clarity grade of VS1. One end of the ring fans out with a series of nine tiny leaves. A large pearl bud blooms from within… measuring 12.3 mm, this ocean gem exhibits a shimmery iridescent glow.

The Van Cleef signature is crisp and clear inside the shank, forever marking this ring as a small bit of indulgent extravagance. It rises nearly an inch off the finger and yet is not overstated or excessive. This ring is pure elegance. It speaks of refinement and sophisticated pleasure. Fit for a queen, this ring is available now for $7,250.00.

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

One week ago today my husband and I loaded up our oldest baby and moved him into his dorm at Westminster College… he had to report early for football camp. For 18 years, we have celebrated so many firsts… but now things seem to be filled with lasts. I am more than a little heartbroken. With one child still at home, we aren’t empty-nesters, but the writing is on the wall and I don’t like it one little bit.

In the days since, I have found myself reaching for my silver charm necklace that holds four things.. a family tree, a “Thankful, Grateful, Blessed” pendant and two charms with the names of my boys. I have found comfort in having a small reminder of my son close to my heart. For centuries, people have been wearing lockets for this very reason. We’re sentimental and romantic… these pendants are a tangible reminder of those we love.

I am crazy for the unique shape of this low karat gold locket. Each side is elaborately decorated, enabling the piece to be worn with either side facing out. Choose between a deeply etched botanical blossom or a swirling pattern of black tracery enamel.

Upon opening, the small space inside can be filled with pictures, a tiny love note or perhaps a lock of hair. Made in the 1880’s, this nostalgic pendant is priced at $650.00.

Next is this beauty that speaks directly to my heart. Suspended from an authentic antique twenty inch chain is one oval locket. Each tiny link of the chain offers filigree appeal with lovely open wire work. The locket itself is ornately adorned with three different colors of enamel… stark white, deep cobalt and a turquois Tiffany blue. Each hue perfectly accents the engraved pattern on the front of the piece.

The etched motif continues on the back. My favorite part is the small plain heart in the center. ♥.

Two original photographs remain inside under glass. This gem is priced at $1,150.00. These antique beauties were someone’s prized treasure over one hundred years ago and now they can be yours. Both can be fitted with your own photos and memorabilia. Whether your loved ones are near or far, personalized keepsake jewelry allows you to keep them close to your heart.
