The Color of Spring

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling and Lavender Things

From the late days of March through the middle of June, Western Pennsylvania is alive with the sights and sounds of Spring.  Tiny frogs called peepers begin chirping – a magical song that ushers in the season.  The air is thick with an intoxicating fragrance… a mixture of rain, fresh soil and new growth.  A glorious array of flowers break through the newly thawed earth…  the very first ones to appear in my yard are always the crocuses.  These miniature beauties bloom in various shades of yellow, white and my favorite…  lavender.

Pastel hues are perfect for spring – these earrings are no exception.  Made from 18 karat rose gold, these charming bits of bling have an oval shape made in classic stud style. 

Set with four claw-like prongs, these earrings feature a matched pair of lavender jade ovals.  With a combined weight of 1.86 carats, these gems are cut into smooth cabochons – a popular cut for jade.  Opaque by nature, lavender jade is believed to bring inner peace and harmony to your heart.  Many trust this lilac-hued stone to soothe, heal and create a sense of balance by putting you in touch with your emotions.  

A series of sixty-six baguette diamonds form a unique halo around the jade centers.  These tapered stones have a total weight of 1.20 carats. The halo style has been extremely popular for the past decade – although it usually features round diamonds.  These step-cut baguettes offer subtle sparkle and elegant appeal.  These earrings are carefully marked on the back with the karat weight of the gold as well as the gem weight of all stones.  This is a clever feature occasionally utilized by modern jewelers – it’s key in calculating value and can also be used for identification purposes.

The classic flair of these lavender lovelies will have you pairing them with everything from denim to silk.  Find your inner peace in style with these beautiful earrings, available on our site for just $1,875.00.

Seize The Day

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and Sun Seekers

The weatherman is calling for 72 degrees tomorrow.  In February.  In Western Pennsylvania.  What a delicious little reprieve after the long cold days of winter.  It feels like Spring.  Even the flowers think so…  my crocuses have pushed their bright yellow and purple petals up through the cold ground – seeking the sun.  At the end of the day,  I cruise down the road – sun roof open, jacket discarded on the passenger seat.  I, too, am seeking the sun.

I cannot take another day of heavy coats, gloves, snow boots and  hats.   My boys are begging to wear shorts to school.  In my best mom tone, I tell them “No!  It’s February!,” but a little voice inside wants to let them.  My sweaters have been shoved to the back of the closet in favor of lightweight colorful blouses and soft cotton pants.  Every morning I look longingly at my strappy sandals and little summer dresses.  I’m even ready for “summer” jewelry…  ankle bracelets, toe rings, and delicate little necklaces like these…

I absolutely love this Victorian bib necklace.  It’s incredibly light and feels as smooth as silk against your skin.  Hundreds of individual gold links have been carefully woven together to create this effortless look.  Pair it with a one-shouldered goddess-style dress for the perfect “night out” look, or with your favorite cropped jeans and halter for a casual effect.  It’s available now on our website for just $1350.00.

 

Choose one of these vintage beauties for your 2017 summer wardrobe.  The yellow gold adds warmth and classic style to every outfit.  The twin drop necklace is available on our site – be sure to check it out today.  The second pendant is a steal at $250.00 – but you’ll have to come to Joden to get it!  It’s a beautiful day for a drive and we’re open until 5…
