Joden Girl
Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things
Meet my newest obsession! I have always been a fan of emerald-cut diamonds. I love the sleek lines, the elongated geometric shape and the classic style. But this charmer caught me by surprise. The center stone has ALOT of punch for the money – and it’s actually a bit of designer genius. This step-cut diamond looks like a one carat diamond, but actually only weighs .50 carat. You may be wondering, how can that be? As I said, the creator of this ring was a bit of a genius. The diamond is surrounded by a halo of high-polished 14 karat white gold. This thin band of metal actually makes the diamond look larger and is difficult to detect without using a loupe or magnification. A small straight baguette cut diamond sits to the right and left of the center stone. It’s a tiny yet significant detail that enhances the timeless feel of this engagement ring. Priced at $3500, this is the kind of piece that I love to find in Joe’s Special Box. I know that it will have a new life beyond Joden – some lucky girl will wear this ring for the rest of her life. And hopefully, she’ll pass it on to a daughter or a son. It will become an heirloom.
