Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

As promised, we’re back with yet another of our favorite pieces. Navette-shaped, this elegant ring measures an inch from tip to tip – this style has been beloved for more than 150 years. Victorians embraced the elongated profile, decorating them with everything from diamonds and colored stones to pearls and turquoise. This sleek stunner has been on our site for a minute; and to be honest, we’re shocked that it hasn’t sold.

The perfect compliment to any hand, this antique beauty is made from rosy 14-karat yellow gold. A cushiony-oval natural ruby fills the center of the ring; it’s held in place by four prongs. Exhibiting a rich raspberry hue, this precious gem weighs approximately 1.40 carats.

Ruby is the July birthstone and has long been utilized to celebrate 40 years of marriage. Widely accepted as the most desirable of all gemstones, rubies are prized for their glorious red color. Known as the gemstone of courage, legend has it that those who wear rubies will live a life devoid of fear. Enhancing this ruby are twenty-six Old Mine Cut diamonds. Sparkling and shimmering in the light, these diamonds have a combined weight of approximately 1.50 carats! A single stone marks both the Northern and Southern tips of the ring while the remaining two dozen stones fill the 1890’s setting to perfection.

These photos show the ring on both the middle finger of my left hand as well as the ring finger of my right hand illustrating that this ring is as versatile as it is beautiful. It looks great and is comfortable and easy to wear. Rubies and diamonds are extremely durable and ensure that this ring will look great for years to come. As promised, each piece in this series will be offered at a new and unbelievable price. Previously listed for $4,850.00, this ring is now priced at just $4,100.00!

Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

For those following along with our holiday price-slashing extravaganza, this is the second piece in the series…. and it’s a personal favorite. The birthstone for March, aquamarine is typically considered to be a semiprecious gemstone. In small sizes, it tends to be a very pale washed-out shade of blue. In the past few months, aquamarine has been enjoying a moment in the spotlight. Every year, one gemstone is the hot ticket for the holidays. In 2022, it was citrine. This year, it’s aquamarine.

This bracelet showcases some of the very finest gems in this size that we’ve had. Measuring seven inches in length, this bracelet is comprised of sixteen alternating links. There are eight platinum basket-style settings. Each one houses an oval-shaped natural aquamarine. Meaning “water of the sea”, these gems are reminiscent of the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean. Weighing 1.50 carats individually, combined these perfectly matched aquas total 12.00 carats!

Situated between those dazzling gems are eight 18-karat yellow gold links. Also oval in shape, these links are comprised of twelve round brilliant diamonds. Every diamond is held securely in place by three prongs. Together, the ninety-six diamonds have a total weight of 8.50 carats! Also fine quality, these sparklers have an average color grade of G-H and an average clarity grade of VS.

Because we are wholesalers as well as retailers, a lot of jewelry comes through our door. It’s no exaggeration to say that we have fresh merchandise every single day. Of all of the antique and estate jewelry that we purchase, we retain the top ten percent for our store, Joden Jewelers. We make certain to offer the finest jewelry to our customers at the best value. This bracelet is a perfect example of that.

Look at the size on the wrist – it’s a true statement piece. We first brought it to you about eighteen months ago with this blog, where it was priced at $12,750.00. It’s been a featured piece on our website since then. We are now offering it for just $9,750.00! That’s a savings of $3000.00, bringing this bit of luxury under the $10,000.00 mark.

Be sure to tune in every Monday and Friday this month for some of the most unbelievable pricing we have ever offered. If this bracelet isn’t your cup of tea, but you’ve been dreaming of a different piece on our site, let us know! You never know, we just might be able to offer it at a special holiday price. Santa baby, hurry down to Joden tonight!

Over the next month, we will be celebrating the holidays in style by offering eight of our most beloved pieces at new and unbelievable pricing! We are kicking off the festivities with this stunning statement ring. Sitting flush with the finger, this oversized oval ring is constructed entirely of platinum. Sure to attract attention, this Mid Century Modern ring is as comfortable as it is beautiful.

Hand-assembled, the under-gallery of the ring displays a unique arrangement of triangles that form the support system for the top of the ring. Observe how the back of the ring is curved to fit the contour of the finger creating an easy and enjoyable fit. The band is narrow, allowing the focus to be on the gem-set surface. A full bezel encapsulates the deep blue round earth-mined sapphire center. Weighing approximately 1.50 carats, this jewel provides a spark of color in this otherwise colorless piece.

Surrounding this navy blue sapphire are two complete halos of diamonds. There are thirty diamonds of both Old European and Round Brilliant cuts. Combined these sparklers offer three carats of scintillating sparkle. The outer edge of the ring is scalloped, perfectly forming to the natural curve of the diamonds. This detail adds a bit of feminine whimsy to the ring. Both the bezel around the sapphire and the raised edge that separates the two rows of diamonds are decorated with a beaded milgrain edge, a classic detail that softens the overall appearance of the piece.

On the hand, this vintage beauty stretches nearly knuckle to knuckle, measuring 7/8 of an inch in length. It makes quite a statement. Previously priced at $8,800.00 – this beauty is now available for just $5,500.00! After a bit of quick mental math, that’s a savings of $3,300. Do not sleep on this deal. If you have a sapphire and diamond ring on your Christmas list, skip the letter to Santa and come to Joden instead.
