Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

As I lay this bracelet across my wrist, I am hypnotized. The light dances across every stone. All 150 of them. No picture can capture the beauty of this piece, although we have certainly tried. Each element has combined to create a vision of Art Deco perfection. The unusual pairing of bright green emeralds and black onyx is accented by a duo of single cut and rose cut diamonds. These diamonds have been hand fitted to carved platinum links – a repeating pattern of style and elegance. It is truly remarkable, and has certainly earned it’s place in Joe’s Special Box. Priced at $19,800 – this treasure is not for the faint of heart!

Like Cake and Ice Cream

Baubles, Bling and Destined Things

Last week I introduced a dazzling pair of Edwardian cufflinks… check them out. Our Facebook Page is featuring a heated debate about those very cufflinks. I’m asking all my readers this question “Should we keep them as they are, or should we convert them to earrings?” Be sure to pop over there and cast your vote!

In my quest to find the perfect piece for this week’s Joden Girl, I stumbled across this beauty…

Handmade in classic Edwardian style from 14 karat yellow gold and platinum, this pendant is everything! Made like a delicious layer cake, here’s how it stacks up. A buttery yellow gold framework creates the cake base; it’s frosted with a cool sheet of platinum. Nestled inside is the filling – a perfect oval of black onyx. Next, the platinum is interspersed with 107 rose cut diamonds, providing an element of sparkle, and finally, a light sprinkling of 13 natural pearls. Priced at $7,650, and worth every penny.

Look at how perfectly it pairs with the cufflinks! If that pendant is the cake, then surely these cufflinks are the ice cream! You can’t have one without the other.

Don’t forget to vote on the Facebook debate (Cufflinks or Earrings?) and stay tuned to see how it all shakes out.

Baubles, Bling, and Questionable Things

We all know that I’m a fan of conversion jewelry (last weeks bow necklace!) – but even I second guess myself occasionally… Are some pieces best left alone? Original? Take the above pictured Art Deco cuff links, for example. They’re lovely. And pristine. Made in the 1920’s from an unbeatable trio of platinum, black onyx, and dazzling diamonds – they would add instant style to the french cuffs of any shirt. However, I can’t help but imagine those little beauties dangling from my earlobes! We have made some incredible cuff link conversion earrings…

The Joden inventory is stacked with at least 100 pairs of really great cuff links, but the customers who are buying them are few and far between. That leaves me to ponder, cuff links or earrings?

What side of the fence do you fall on? Are you a purist – with your vote leaning toward keeping them authentic cufflinks? Or perhaps you’re vote is for re-purposing – giving new life to something that is longer useful? I can’t wait to see how it all shakes out!
