Baubles, Bling and A Collector’s Things

With the first day of autumn in the rear view, it’s time to break out fall fashion.  There’s nothing like a chunky cable-knit sweater to ward off the nip in the air.  Thick braided cords of wool, cotton or cashmere twist around each other to create the coziest and comfiest feel.  Paired with suede kitten-heel knee boots, and your fit is almost perfect.  But… no look is complete without a bit of bling.  This week, we have the most divine sweater weather necklace.

Measuring just over twenty-eight inches in length, this 18-karat yellow gold beauty is to die for.  Thick curb link chain combines with bold color to make jewelry magic.  Starting from one end of the integrated box clasp, there is a series of fourteen individual gemstone links that alternate with 1.5 inch segments of heavy gold chain.  Each richly colored gem is more beautiful than the last…

Two shades of tourmaline, both pink and green, citrine, aquamarine, peridot, and amethyst gems are bezel set in octagonal links.  Flanking each brightly hued gem are baguette diamonds… two on the left and two on the right.  These fifty-six sparklers have a total weight of 1.25 carats!  Made in the 1980’s, this necklace is bold and beautiful. The weighty heft of this luxurious piece feels SO good – 3.25 ounces of gold draped around your neck!  Make an investment in your wardrobe with this bauble for $9,850.00.   Call us or stop by to make it yours today.

What’s New – Volume 56

Baubles, Bling and the Latest Things

I love it when we get “new” old goods…  excitement bubbles up inside me when I’m digging through a tray of fresh inventory!  It’s the best kind of treasure hunt.  I’m not always the first one to ogle these charming trinkets –   sometimes they make it into our inventory without me ever laying eyes on them!  This is a travesty that I strive to avoid.  How can I call “dibs” on the merchandise if I don’t even see it?!?!  Yesterday, I uncovered a real gem – I am so smitten!

Handcrafted from 9-karat yellow gold near the turn of the 20th century, this delicate bracelet is a refined beauty.  Measuring seven-inches in length, it showcases a glorious array of colorful gemstones.  

With eleven natural gemstones nestled in fine claw settings, this Victorian harlequin bracelet speaks with quiet elegance.  Individual hinges between each link allow the bracelet to curve to the wrist.  Varying in size and hue, each stone offers its own unique appeal.  The layout from left to right includes a pink sapphire, a chrysoberyl, a citrine, then a zircon and one peridot, a round amethyst center, a garnet, then another zircon, a green tourmaline and a catseye and finally one pink tourmaline.  It’s a captivating kaleidoscope of color.

A tiny curb-link chain and clasp finish the length of the bracelet.  In excellent condition, this authentic antique is priced at $2,175.00.  There is not one thing that I would change.  It’s perfect.  ♥

Baubles, Bling and Golden Things

Gold chains are back in a BIG way.  Everyone is crazy for lengths of karat gold.  At Joden, we’ve curated a vast collection of antique and estate pieces as well as a few new additions.  You may wonder why anyone would choose a vintage chain over a brand new one.  The answer is all about the quality.  Over the years, as the gold market has continued to climb, manufacturers have had to make sacrifices to keep jewelry at a price that is affordable for the vast majority of consumers.  One of the most common ways to do so is to produce hollow link chains as opposed to solid links.  While the idea is genius, unfortunately, the wear-ability and durability is far less.  The craftsmanship of an estate gold chain is simply superior.  

This week’s find is everything you need for your fall and winter wardrobe.  Eighteen inches of 18 karat yellow and white gold, this square curb link chain does NOT disappoint.  Italian made, the necklace offers a hefty weight that feels so good on the neck.  It’s silky smooth and shines with every turn.  Above, it is modeled by me and also by one our favorite guys, Steve!  I have to say, it looks great on both of us!   The versatility of this piece is absolutely amazing.

Spaced around the necklace are seven diamond segments.  Each one is made from 18 karat white gold and is set with fourteen full cut diamonds.  There are ninety-eight stones that have a combined weight of 1.50 carats.  These small round brilliants have an average color grade of H-I and an average clarity grade of VS-SI.  Bright and clean, the diamonds add visual appeal and value to the chain.

If you’re looking for a statement piece that can be worn daily – that signature treasure that you reach for time and again – this is it.  With a weight of 26.9 dwt (over 41 grams) and 1.50 carats of high quality diamonds, this chain is a steal for $3,580.00.  This beauty and so many more are available at Joden.  If someone on your Christmas list is asking for a gold chain, Joden is the only place to shop.
