Some things speak for themselves with no explanation needed. A one-carat diamond solitaire expresses classic style and timeless elegance. More than 70% of all engagement rings sold each year are solitaires. This no-frills design focuses all the attention on the diamond. The original model was designed by Charles Lewis Tiffany in 1886 – more than 137 years ago. An iconic symbol of everlasting love, his ring showcased a round diamond held in six prongs above a delicate golden band. Space between each prong allowed light to pass through the diamond highlighting its brilliance. Each element of Tiffany’s ring was plain – even basic… this was the true genius of the design. More than a century later, the diamond solitaire still reigns supreme.

What could be better than a one-carat diamond solitaire? A two-carat diamond solitaire, of course. Today, we’re highlighting a truly luxurious gem. This particular piece took a classic beauty and turned it up a couple notches. Made entirely of platinum, the ring presents the center stone in eight prongs – two on each corner. Shown from either side, a delicate bridge of diamonds adds a hint of sparkle. Six round brilliant diamonds are set into each milgrain-edged bar. These tiny sparklers have a combined weight of approximately .06 carat.

Sitting tall on the finger, the center diamond is showcased to perfection. Weighing exactly 2.00 carats, the diamond has been certified by the Gemological Institute of America. The report (shown on website listing) specifies that the diamond is an “M” color – placing it solidly in the faint color range. Further stating the clarity grade as VVS2, the report goes on to describe the cut, polish and symmetry as excellent. Light dances across the surface of the diamond, glittering with every turn of the hand.

The epitome of opulence, this gem is sure to delight anyone. Perhaps you’re wondering about the price of this head turner and may be surprised to learn that it’s available now for just $12,000.00.

Nearly two hundred years ago, Charles Lewis Tiffany joined forces with John Young and opened a stationary and gift shop in lower Manhattan. Initially the store primarily sold paper goods. However, by 1853, the name was changed to “Tiffany & Co.” when the focus of the firm shifted. Under the tutelage of Charles Tiffany, the growing company changed gears to concentrate on fine jewelry…. and the rest, as they say is history.

Now one of the most recognized brands in fine jewelry, “Tiffany & Co.” is highly collectible and sought after by everyone from novices to connoisseurs. Having partnered with famous designers like Elsa Peretti and Paloma Picasso – the brilliant designs are both classically timeless and cutting edge at the same time.

Like many of their creations, this Mid Century beauty was manufactured in the United States, probably in the 1970’s. 14 karat yellow gold combines with a series of forty-four square-cut garnets in a masterpiece of design. By merely tipping the square on it’s edge, this wonderfully wearable brooch went from mundane to modern. At first glance, it’s deceptively simple… a sparkling array of deep red garnets. Closer inspection reveals the intricate background that allows those very gems to shine.

A repeating grid of equal-sided openings, this filigree-like framework is a geometric dream. The bold boxy gems are arranged on top of this unique pattern. A double-tiered garnet square marks the center with another band of the same stones forming the perimeter. Offering nearly five carats of bling, this brooch can go from day to night with ease. Wear it to work or pin it to your jacket for an evening out – this collectible charmer, priced at $2300.00, is within your reach.

If you’ve always wanted a piece of fine Tiffany & Co. jewelry, now’s your chance. This is just one of the many lovely pieces by the iconic designer available at Joden Jewelers. Check out our Facebook and Instagram for more Tiffany Trinkets.
