Birthstone jewelry is an easy go-to gift. It’s a great choice for a first piece of jewelry. A symbolic representation of the month we were born in, birthstones celebrate a small yet important part of who we are. Scientists have conducted studies that have found that birth months can affect career paths and even personality traits. Today, we’re honoring those born in November with a bold and beautiful ring.

The rich, warm tone of 18-karat yellow gold is an ideal choice for the November birthstone, citrine. Measuring approximately half an inch at the top, this three-row beauty sits comfortably on the hand. Combining two distinct setting techniques, the shoulders of this ring are set with round and square diamonds. The outer two rows showcase prong set round diamonds while the center row highlights channel set square diamonds. With a combined weight of approximately 1.00 carat, these thirty-six diamonds truly shine.

Held in place with one prong on each corner, the center stone is emerald cut. Boasting a deep orange hue, this citrine weighs approximately 5.50 carats! The details of this modern ring sing in perfect harmony. Citrine is believed to have a calming energy that brings fortune and good luck to the wearer. Bring good vibes to your life or someone you love with this ring for just $2,250.00.

Baubles, Bling, and The Latest Things

We noticed a new trend over the holidays in 2021 – it was all about color. Customer after customer was searching for a piece offering bright hues of every shade. There was one overwhelming choice – and it came as a surprise to all of us… citrine. Never before have we sold so many of these bold orange-y gems.

If you’re craving a cool citrine ring – this post is for you. Ultra modern and made from 18 karat yellow gold, this piece looks great on any finger (although, I am loving it on my index finger). The center stone is channel set between a pair of diamond-accented bars. The stone is a square brilliant cut that weighs approximately 3.00 carats and features the most glorious shade of orange. It glows like the sun.

Six additional gemstones are expertly fit into the shoulders of the ring. Custom cut and perfectly matched, these stones have a combined weight of 2.00 carats. Ten round brilliant diamonds flank the center stone, adding a hint (.15 carat) of colorless sparkle. Reminding me of a July sunset on the beach, this ring is available now for just $1,650.00.

Ravishing Retro

At the end of the 1930’s, the strong geometric lines of Art Deco evolved into the vivid 3-dimentional curves that Retro is known for. Jewelry of the 1940’s-1950’s makes a bold statement, like this striking bangle pictured above.

Wide ribbons of rose and yellow gold wrap around a large emerald cut aquamarine center stone. Bright red cabochon rubies and round diamonds add another element of color and design to this already outstanding piece. To further heighten the appeal, this bangle is able to be converted to a pendant as well as a brooch – fashion AND function!

WWII was a powerful influence on the time. The use of platinum was restricted making multicolor gold a popular choice… yellow, rose, and green gold reigned during the Retro period. Women’s apparel bore a noticeable resemblance to military uniforms – the look was handsome rather than pretty with high collars and ultra masculine lines. To soften the effect, ladies added jewelry like this…

These oversize pieces are as audacious as they are delicious. This large bow brooch will catch anyone’s eye – it centers on a 65 carat citrine; Retro style at its finest. Priced at $6500, it pairs perfectly with the angular lines of this statement ring. The hourglass shape of the ring nearly spans from knuckle to knuckle – ideally worn on an index or middle finger. Make it yours for $4500.00.

Much of the Retro period was dedicated to trying to regain the Old Hollywood glamour of the 1930’s. Pieces like this flaunt that designers achieved and surpassed that goal. Go to our site and look, then come to Joden and touch.
