Baubles, Bling and Symbolic Things

I have always loved three-stone rings.  My sentimental side vibes with the symbolism of each stone… one for the past, one for the present and one for the future.  Aesthetically, I appreciate the balanced, symmetrical appeal of a classic three-stone.  This traditional style has captured hearts for centuries.  

The inventory at Joden boasts more than one of these nostalgic rings.  In fact, we have them in every department… antique, estate, and of course, modern.  Today, I’ve selected a unique duo.  Each one offers it’s own unique charms.  I can’t wait to see which one you prefer.

First, we have a modern beauty by J. B. Star.  Made from platinum, this classic style is crisp and clean.  Each diamond is secured with four prongs with the center stone rising above the sides.  Weighing 1.21 carats, the main diamond has been certified by the Gemological Institute of America.  Shining bright, this diamond has a color grade of J and a clarity grade of VS2.  The two side diamonds have a combined weight of .65 carat.  Keeping with the modern style, the high-polished shank of the ring offers a nice weight and feel.  

Simplistically sophisticated, this ring works perfectly as an engagement ring or an anniversary ring.  Sitting tall on the hand, it’s moderately priced at $7,000.00.

Showing a softer side is this late Edwardian three-stone beauty.  Comprised of platinum, this ring sits low and hugs the finger.  Three diamonds are nestled within a diamond accented border.  The European cut center diamond weighs approximately .85 carat, and the two side stones offer an additional 1.00 carat of sparkle.  Eighteen single-cut diamonds surround the three main stones, amping up the brilliant bling.  

The vintage feel of this ring is absolutely charming.  The shank is narrow, adding to the delicate feel of the ring.  Priced at $6,100.00, this antique gem is tough to beat.

Both rings have so much to offer… it’s difficult to choose!  Do you vibe with the vintage flair of this Edwardian three-stone or are you smitten with the classically clean feel of that modern marvel?  Which one is your favorite… this or that?  Check them both out on our site today!

Hot or Not – Volume 18

Baubles, Bling and Curious Things

For the past decade or so, those of us in the jewelry industry have been promising the comeback of two things…  yellow gold and brooches.  Quite honestly, for most of those years, we didn’t believe that those assurances would actually come to fruition.  Because we are avid buyers of antique and estate jewelry, our inventory is laden with hundreds of pins…  most of them are made from yellow gold.  And so, imagine our delight when BOTH of these promises were fulfilled in 2024.

Yellow gold began inching back into the spotlight a few years ago.  But… it takes a while for trends to make it all the way to rural Pennsylvania.  Nevertheless, it has happened!  And we are here for it.  Thanks to celebrities, professional athletes and fashion influencers, brooches have also exploded back to center stage as well.  The most popular pieces are often whimsical and even a bit cheeky.  

Coinciding with both of these hot trends is the rapidly escalating price of gold.  Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), with gold at an all time high, people everywhere are cashing in on their jewelry.  For the first time in a long time, we are buying jewelry as quickly as we are selling it.  Some truly unique finds have made their way into the store in the past months, like this playful arrow-pierced heart brooch.

Measuring 2.5 inches from the point of the arrow to the tips of the fletching, this pin is just one such discovery.  It’s constructed entirely of 18-karat yellow gold.  Oh-so-appropriately placed in the center of the brooch is a heart-shaped citrine.  Presenting with a lovely honey tone, this gem weighs approximately 8.00 carats.  Surrounding the heart in a softly sculpted  halo are twenty round brilliant diamonds.  Each one is held in place by just two prongs; combined, they have a weight of .80 carat.  Accenting the shaft of the arrow itself are eleven square sapphires.  Displaying a brilliantly blue hue, these sapphires offer 1.50 carats of bright bling.

Equally suited to a man or a woman, this brooch could be pinned to a lapel, a hatband, a cuff or even the folded edge of a knitted beanie.  Sophisticated elements combine with a simple shape giving the pin an ageless quality – it could easily worn by the very youngest or the very oldest jewelry lover.  As my own tastes continue to evolve, I am surprised by how much I like this hearts-and-arrows beauty.  Priced at $2000.00, I can’t wait to hear your reviews of this charming piece.  What do you think… is it hot?  Or not?

Lockets to Love

Baubles, Bling and Inspired Things

It’s hard to believe that the holiday season is less than two months away.  There are only forty-three “Joden” shopping days left before Christmas.  Whew.  If that timeline gives you the whim-whams, not to worry!  Our website is available 24/7.  With an amazing selection of gift-worthy jewels, our site has the perfect present for that special someone.  We even offer free 2-Day shipping with every website purchase; you simply can’t go wrong.  

One of our most requested gifts is a locket – and we have something truly special.  Sentimental and sweet, this heirloom-quality pendant is perfect.  Inspired by Victorian designs, this modern beauty is made from 14-karat yellow gold.  The front half of the locket features an oval-shaped center medallion.  Cobalt blue enamel coats the oval and highlights a tiny gold fleur de lis in the middle.  Intricate filigree wirework fills the space between the bright blue center and the scalloped outer edge.

Upon opening the hinge, another charming element is revealed.  Hand-painted on the back side of the oval center is just one word… France.  The small enameled placard was created in France and some time later, it was incorporated into this lovely locket.  On the right side is a sizable compartment; lacking the frame that would hold a photo, this pocket must be for a keepsake.  Perhaps a lock of hair, a baby tooth or a small note could be stored here.  

Closing with a snap, this pendant is the perfect place to secure precious mementos.  Create an heirloom of the future for someone you love with this locket for just $1,050.00.  Call or stop by to make it yours today.
