Sapphire Stimulation

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and Azure Things

This is the first week of the new year!  Social Media is alight with well wishes, celebratory photos, and resolutions for 2019.  Without fail, the end of December (and my tendency to over-indulge during the holiday season) has me vowing to start fresh in January.  I promise myself annually that I will eat healthy and exercise…  low carbs and yoga!  2018 has been no exception.  My co-workers and I actually joked about having an office wide “Biggest Loser” competition.  Do you, too, make these pledges?  Unfortunately, every year I get off track, life gets busy, and I break the pact I made with myself.  

Perhaps what I (any maybe you) need is a visual reminder…  a little sparkle of incentive.  What better source of motivation is there than a sapphire ring?  In times past, the rich blue gem was thought to be a symbol of wisdom, virtue, and good fortune.  I am certain that this is the secret to achieving my New Year’s Resolutions!

Art Deco influence abounds in this 18 karat white gold Beverley K Design.  A 2.02 carat oval sapphire is the crowning glory of this vintage inspired beauty.  Milgrain beading outlines a pattern of marquise-shaped leaves, each one accented by a single round brilliant diamond.  The shank of the ring features a deeply etched pattern, completing the look.  Isn’t this the perfect inspiration for all of your 2019 goals?  $5500 seems a small price to pay for a year of success!  😉

Don’t hesitate!  Go to our site and look, then come to Joden and touch.

Joe’s Special Box – Volume 43

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

With the Christmas holiday all wrapped up, at Joden, we have already turned our attention to 2019.  As I was searching through Joe’s Special Box to find the perfect piece for this week, I kept coming back to this pair of golden beauties.  With Valentine’s Day only weeks away – these sweet little heart rings are sure to please.  

The first ring is made from a rich 22 karat gold and features a duo of flower blossoms on a delicately textured background.  Leaves and vines trail down each shoulder adding to the natural appeal of the piece.  Yellow gold has made a strong comeback in the last year, and this ring would be a great statement piece for anyone’s jewelry wardrobe – it’s modestly priced at $640.

The second ring (shown on the right above) is made from pure 24 karat gold.  The warm buttery gold piece features the words “beautiful light” in Japanese.  Etched into each shoulder is an eight-petaled flower, a subtle yet much needed detail…  priced at $750. 

The allure of high karat gold was undeniable in 2018 – and 2019 promises to be even stronger.  Our selection of karat gold jewelry is vast and varied.  Get a head start on your Valentine’s Day shopping with a sweetheart of a ring available exclusively at Joden Jewelers.

Emerald Cut Elegance

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and Diamond Earrings

For the first time in a long time, this holiday season drew on an old favorite…  diamond studs.  The last few years have been all about diamond hoops.  But not this year.  Shoppers demanded studs of all shapes, sizes, and colors.  There were round brilliants, princess cuts, and squares.  Sparkling gems set in gold of every color…  white, rose, and yellow.  There’s no question – the classic styles are back on top.

Somehow these beauties are still here…  but I doubt they last long.  Check out the attention to detail.  Let’s start with the Art Deco-inspired mountings.  Milgrain beaded swirls decorate the back of the 14 karat white gold baubles and a delicate ring of diamonds surrounds the eight-side edge.  A second halo of round brilliants accent the center stones…  that’s a total of 104 fully faceted diamonds weighing in at over .50 carat.  And don’t forget those emerald cuts – a killer pair of perfectly matched step-cut diamonds that weigh 1.08 carats.  These dazzlers have an average color grade of F, with an average clarity grade of VS.  Simply stunning.  

My husband bought me my diamond earrings several years ago.  I love the traditional feel of them…  round diamonds set in white gold.  They are the perfect accessory for everything from jeans to heels.  They are in my ears more often than not. 

Every girl needs a pair of diamond studs…  whether they be plain or fancy, round or square.  At Joden, we have choices aplenty – including these.  Make them yours today for just $4200.
