Joden Girl
Baubles, Bling and Scattered Things
For more than a hundred years, designers have embraced the appeal of diamonds. There’s no doubt that jewels dripping with gemstones elicit “oohs and aahs” but I can’t seem to resist the quiet allure of an understated beauty. A classic piece that can be worn every day with absolutely anything is my jam.
Like this locket… dangling from a handsome 28″ curb link chain, the charming matte finish of this Victorian piece is only exceeded by the sparkle of the seven diamonds sprinkled across it. These European Cut gems combine to bring .80 carat of bling. Personalize it by adding your most treasured photos to the inside. It’s nestled inside the original plum colored velvet box and is moderately priced at $2,980.
It pairs perfectly with this turn of the century bangle. Measuring just over one half-inch wide, this bit of arm candy is made from 14 karat yellow gold. The top portion is set with a series of five Old European Cut diamonds that have been claw set into an evenly spaced line of expertly formed recesses and have a combined weight of .75 carat. Bling up your wrist for just $2,250.
Rounding out our trio is this modern band. I love that the same style that dazzled jewelry fans in the 1800’s is still delighting us today. The warm 14 karat yellow gold of this wider band is a haven for the ten round brilliant diamonds that are burnished into the surface. Intermittent spacing is everything – combine it with a half carat of sparkle, and you have a real winner for just $1,480.
Embrace your yellow gold passion with this eclectic trio available at Joden now.
