Glittering Gold

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and a Tacori Ring

Timeless and classic – this 18 karat yellow gold ring by Tacori is perfection from every angle.  With a round diamond center stone weighing .70 carat and a single line of square diamonds down each shoulder – this ring is everything! 

 

Trademark Tacori details on the edges and shank add just the right amount of gingerbread to this already beautiful piece.  Every bit of this ring is made from yellow gold – it’s the ideal complement to the warm body color of the center diamond.  Many people think that every girl wants a bright, white diamond…  that just isn’t true!  In fact, many women are drawn to a stone that has a bit of color, like this one.  

Not only do many ladies prefer a warm diamond,  we have recently discovered that more and more girls are leaning toward the sultry rich tones of yellow gold.  And it’s not just about color.  They are also loving the low maintenance lifestyle of gold in it’s natural hue.  Unlike white gold, the shiny finish of a yellow gold ring is easily restored by polishing – no rhodium (or “dipping”) required.  

Moderately priced at just $3700, this designer bling is the ultimate choice for modern brides in search of enduring elegance.

Joe’s Special Box – Volume 22

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

This photo features two of Joe’s favorite things…  a killer opal ring from his special box as well as a tattered copy of “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill.  The book is an old friend – one that Joe has recommended to many people for the secret held inside.  The ring is a new find containing a phenomenal black opal – also beloved for the secret it holds inside.

It has been dubbed black opal (the rarest color of this unique stone), but the rainbow shown here is anything BUT black…  that term actually only relates to the body color of the stone.  The darkness of the base allows the fire to really shine.  Those colors, or fire, are caused by microscopic silica spheres in the internal structure.  As light passes through the opal, it bounces off the silica, creating a dazzling effect.  Based on the play of color shown in this stone, it is most likely Lightning Ridge Opal, named for the spot in New South Wales where these gems are mined.  

This iridescent beauty is nestled into an Art Deco platinum ring from the 1920’s.  A narrow pair of baguette diamonds complete the classic three stone look, however, the opal is the real star here.  This is one you don’t want to miss…  come to Joden and discover it for yourself.

Edwardian Dreams

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and a Pearl Ring

La Belle Epoque…  The Beautiful Era – more commonly known as the Edwardian Period.  Named after King Edward in England, the years between 1901-1915 produced some of the most beautiful jewelry of the past 100 years.  These jewels took a nod from the graceful lines of Art Nouveau jewelry and combined it with the classic designs of decades gone by…  the result was stunning.  Primarily monochromatic; utilizing platinum, diamonds, and pearls – it was a luxurious delicacy that is still highly sought after today.

This little charmer is the epitome of Edwardian elegance.  With a warm yellow gold base, we can date the ring to pre-1903 (the invention of the oxyacetylene torch in 1903 allowed metal to be heated to much higher temperatures, paving the way for jewelry constructed completely from platinum.  This eliminated the need to lay platinum on top of gold – although, aesthetically speaking –  I love that crisp line created by layering the two metals).  The Art Nouveau influence is evident in the soft curving lines that create the shoulders of the ring… add in those killer Old Mine Cut diamonds and a natural pearl center, and we have the stuff Edwardian dreams are made of.  It’s available in our showroom now for just $2100.00.
