Joden Girl
Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing
It’s Conversion Week at Joden Jewelers! We are celebrating the fine art of breathing new life into a beautiful but under-utilized piece of jewelry. There’s no question that lifestyles and clothing trends have undergone significant change in the past 200 years. Jewelry is often just as much about function as it is fashion. Brooches, which were very popular in the Victorian era, were frequently used to fasten articles of clothing and hold multiple layers together. But now, in today’s world, fabrics are light and airy and styles are held together with modern fasteners which have rendered brooches almost obsolete. For the past few years, we have been converting pins and brooches into necklaces with great success.
Another abandoned article of jewelry is the cuff link. Once a must for the well-dressed businessman, these decorative gems are rarely worn anymore. Because cuff links come in pairs, it’s only logical to convert them into earrings!
These platinum and 14 karat yellow gold conversion earrings were made from a lovely pair of Edwardian cuff links. Shown in profile, you can see how a thin layer of platinum covers the yellow gold base. Ornate botanical engraving is highlighted in the center of each disk. Surrounding that is a black enameled halo featuring geometric patterns.
A tiny golden link has been lasered onto the top of the disk allowing an ear wire to slide through. Because they aren’t soldered solid, the earrings have great movement, creating another element of visual interest. You’re sure to dazzle in your Zoom meetings with these one-of-a-kind beauties.
Previously available on our site for $1,100 – we have selected them as our Pick of the Week. Now, just in time for the holidays, these Edwardian conversions have been price reduced to just $820.00! Tuck them into your stocking today!
