Joden Girl
Baubles, Bling and Estate Things
What is estate jewelry? The answer is actually quite simple… it is jewelry that has had a previous owner. It might be a diamond engagement ring that was purchased last week or it might be something from the 1980’s yellow gold era. Once an item has been purchased, it is no longer new. As such, it doesn’t command the same price as a brand new piece… instead it is priced primarily on intrinsic value. And that, my friends, is the true beauty of estate jewelry. If you are a savvy shopper with an eye for style and value, you can make some absolutely incredible finds.
Occasionally, you may stumble upon designer pieces that you can purchase at a drastically reduced price. These gems from the Aaron Basha line are a perfect example of that. We bought all of them in the secondhand market – even though they are in like new condition. The quality is unmistakable.
Made from a perfect pairing of 18 karat white and yellow gold, these whimsical ladybug earrings were quite a lucky find! Tiny flowers made from a cluster of six round brilliant diamonds are fitted with a small link that has a charming enameled ladybug dangling from it. Glossy bright red wings sporting three black spots each create the classic ladybird that we know and love. These little cuties are still available from Aaron Basha for $2,700.00. We have this estate pair for just $1,150.00 – check them out on our site now!
The Aaron Basha name is synonymous with playful designs that come alive with bold color and sparkling gemstones. Jeweled baby shoes are among the most beloved. The original model was designed for the birth of his first grandchild. Each of the three pieces shown here are Aaron Basha originals… the diamond station necklace, the saddle shoe and the race car. Together, this sporty combo sells for over $6,500.00. Made entirely from 18 karat yellow gold and in superb condition, we are offering it in our estate department for only $2.750.00!
With their trademark slogan describing the collection as “magical treasures for the child at heart,” it’s easy to see why millions of fans worldwide love Aaron Basha designs. At Joden, we love being able to offer these unique pre-owned pieces at a fraction of the original price. You don’t want to miss this fabulous opportunity!
