Joe’s Special Box – Volume 18

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

As I was rifling through Joe’s Special Box looking for today’s selection, I happened upon this little beauty.  The first thought that came to mind was “How is this still here?”  It’s just too good!  I initially shared this ring with you several months ago…  The Power of Three.  

It’s all about the details.  Hand crafted from 14 karat white gold – this sweet thing is the epitome of Art Deco elegance. The shoulders and gallery of the ring are meticulously hand pierced with impeccable symmetry.  Delicate leaf garlands combine perfectly with intricate milgrain design.  Each tiny bead of white gold has been hand faceted creating a diamond set appearance.  One Old European Cut diamond winks from between a pair of bright synthetic sapphires.  I would not change a single thing about this ring – not even the price…  it’s a steal at $1100.00!

Joe’s Special Box – Volume 15

Joden Girl

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!

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!
