Joden Girl
Baubles, Bling and A Collector’s Things
The treasures at Joden are positively endless. From showcases overflowing with the finest antique, estate and modern jewelry to the treasures nestled into every nook and cranny of Joe’s office – our collection is truly something to behold. Some of our customers have been treated to a private showing in Joe’s office where the crème de la crème resides. It’s an assemblage of the rarest jewels suitable for even the most seasoned connoisseurs and private collectors.
For those who haven’t yet visited our showroom, we have dedicated the last blog of each month to these truly remarkable riches… lavish, luxurious, and of course, extravagant. Additionally, every single one of these gems were hand-picked by Joe. That’s no small thing, Joe grew up at the bench. His father was a master jeweler; his parents also owned a jewelry store. Following in his father’s footsteps, Joe opened the doors of Joden Jewelers nearly fifty-four years ago; even now, he comes to work six days a week. It’s not obligation, it’s love. And so, when I tell you that something was hand-picked by Joe, it really is special.
Today, we have not one, but two beauties… a bangle and a pair of earrings. Made from 18-karat yellow gold, the bangle hinges on one side. Spanning the top half are a series of very fine gemstones… there are sixteen crimson red rubies. Square in shape, these channel-set stones have a combined weight of 3.00 carats. Then there are eight brilliant blue sapphires. Also square-cut, these gems offer 2.50 carats of subtle shine. At the end of each channel is a bezel set emerald. These two vibrant green stones have a combined weight of 1.00 carat.
The outer edges of the bracelet are pavé set with a series of one hundred and thirty eight round brilliant diamonds. Twinkling from every angle, these diamonds have a combined weight of approximately 4.00 carats. All of this stunning beauty can be wrapped around your wrist for just $7,550.00.
Let’s up the ante with a gorgeous pair of coordinating earrings. Also made from 18-karat yellow gold, these petite beauties curve enchantingly around the bottom of the earlobe. Bezel set in the center is a vertical explosion of bold color; two oval rubies weighing 1.60 carats, two oval emeralds weighing .90 carat and two pear-shaped sapphires also weighing .90 carat. A halo of thirty-eight baguette diamonds encircle the rubies and eighty round brilliant diamonds envelop the emeralds and sapphires. Combined, there are 2.00 carats of dazzling diamonds. Made in the 1980’s, these earrings are available for just $3,300.00.
If you are as enchanted as Joe with these incredible pieces, give us a call or stop by to see the beauty for yourself.
