Joden Girl
Baubles, Bling and Diamond Things
I’m not a bracelet girl. Having an exceptionally small wrist often makes them uncomfortable for me. On the rare occasion that I do clasp a bracelet around my arm, before long it will be discarded on my desk. The inventory at Joden boasts hundreds of bracelets… we have silver, yellow gold, white gold and platinum. We have plain styles, diamond dazzlers, and colored gems of every variety. They appeal to me on every level… except one. Comfort.
Just last week, this unique bangle caught my eye. It’s different; unique. For the first time in a long time, I slipped it out of the plastic bag, searching for the clasp. Unlike most bangles, this modern marvel has a small release button on the inside. Nearly all hinged bangles have a clasp on the outside. When pressed, the bottom half of the bracelet opens, allowing it to be put on. Once closed, the button is nearly imperceptible. The true magic of this piece is the gentle contour of the top half; it curves toward the wrist, laying beautifully in place… comfortably in place.
Made entirely of 14-karat white gold, the bangle is polished to a pristine shine. Nestled in a narrow channel on the outermost edge are thirty-five round brilliant diamonds. These tiny gems offer .75 carat of sparkle and shine. This detail is subtle – secondary to the wonderfully contoured design. It’s genius, really. And while I cannot claim to be fully converted, this bangle renews my hope that someday I will find the ideal bracelet for me. If this beauty is perfect for you, it’s available for $2,975.00. Call or stop to make it yours.
