He loves me, he loves me not…

Baubles, Bling, and a Daisy Ring

I love daisies, I always have. As we enter into 2017 – the symbolism of them couldn’t be more appropriate. Daisies represent new beginnings.

I carried them down the aisle at my wedding, they were woven into my hair… even my wedding band is an eternal ring of daisies. I love the bright yellow center against the stark white petals. I love how the petals seem to grow one over top of the next. I love every little thing about them.

So, can you guess how I feel about this ring?

Yep. I love it! From the warm tone of the Old Mine Cut diamond center to the delicate filigree wirework – it’s perfect. Of course, my favorite part is the tiny carved flower on either side of the diamond center.

With only four petals, it could be any flower. In my mind, it’s a daisy. A daisy is actually two flowers that are harmoniously blended together. The center petals are the first flower, and the surrounding petals that form the rays are the second flower… like a new bride and groom on their wedding day.

It’s absolutely lovely as a right hand ring… I know because I’ve tried it on. Often. But, secretly, I would love for some lucky girl to have it as an engagement ring. Priced at just $1200, someone needs to buy it before I do!

A Metamorphosis

Baubles, Bling and Transforming Things

As 2016 is drawing to an end, and we are on the cusp of a new year – I find myself reflecting over the past month. The holidays are a magical time… we gather together with family and friends, we share stories and give gifts, we celebrate, and we eat. Everywhere you turn, there are treats both savory and sweet. Every year, I over-indulge. I turn into The Very Hungry Caterpillar (Eric Carle).

“On Saturday he ate through one piece of chocolate cake, one ice-cream cone, one pickle, one slice of Swiss cheese, one slice of salami, one lollipop, one piece of cherry pie, one sausage, one cupcake, and one slice of watermelon.”

But instead, it’s more like… She ate through one mound of cheesy potatoes, one Oreo bonbon, half a wheel of brie, a bowl of marinated mushrooms, a pile of fresh veggies, too many shrimp to count, three peanut butter buckeyes, one pepperoni ball, several snickerdoodles, and one brown sugar and cinnamon Pop Tart.

Unfortunately, I am unable to weave myself into a cocoon and emerge as a beautiful butterfly. But if I could, perhaps it would be one of these… Georgian or Art Nouveau, each of these winged creatures brings a smile to my face. And hopefully yours as well.

This pristine brooch was hand crafted nearly 200 years ago of yellow gold and silver, set with old cut rubies and sapphires, and accented by rose cut diamonds. I love everything about it – from the wiry golden legs to the tips of the antennae – it’s a steal at just $1500.00.

This is Art Nouveau at it’s finest. Made like a stained glass window, the gold framework of this butterfly brooch has been filled with irridescent transparent enamel; reflecting multicolor tones of amber, peach, and orange. This technique is known as Plique A´ Jour. The tips of each wing feature vibrant blue enamel with glittery flecks to further enhance its beauty. Seven rose cut diamonds form the body, completing the piece to perfection.

Butterflies have long been symbols of change, hope, and life. I can’t think of a better way to end 2016.

A Gift fit for a King

Frankincense, Gold, and Myrrh

“When they saw the star, they rejoiced with great delight. On coming to the house, they saw the Child with His mother Mary, and they fell down and worshipped Him. Then they opened their treasures and presented Him with gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh.” Matthew 2:10-11

I cannot think of a better gift to end our series “The Twelve Gifts of Christmas” than a gift fit for a King… gold.

For thousands of years, gold has been used to create beautiful baubles. The attraction of it is undeniable… the rich buttery color, that high polish that is so alluring, and the feeling as it warms to your skin when draped around your neck.

Stacks of bangles, shiny hoops both small and large, chains of every variety from long to short, stylish link bracelets, and of course, rings. At Joden, the selection is dazzling. And the price range is vast, truly something for everyone.

Each of these three pieces is available on our website, each one offers its own unique appeal, each one is a perfect Christmas gift.

First we have a lovely Retro brooch. This authentic piece from the 1940’s is a distinctive swirl of 14 karat yellow and rose gold. At just 1.25 inches, it is the perfect size for any lapel or collar. It is available on our website now for only $325.00.

In the center, we have a 22 karat yellow gold vintage ring. This charming heart-shaped ring is adorned with a delicate pattern of flowers and vines. We all know how I feel about hearts, however, there is no denying that this ring is something quite special. Check it out now on our website for just $640.00.

Finally, we have these awesome Victorian tassel earrings. These statement earrings are amazing in the ear – the tassels move with you, creating a fantastic look. They are also available on our website now – a steal at just $675.00.

Find each of these things and so much more in our showroom at Joden Jewelers. This is our last night of holiday hours. We will be open until 8pm tonight with select hours tomorrow. As always, our website is available 24/7 with free overnight shipping.

Go to our site and look, then come to Joden and touch.

Merry Christmas from our house to yours.
