Joden Girl
Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing
One of the most common questions we hear is “Do you do custom work?” And as you may have imagined, the answer (of course) is “Yes.” But for me, I often find myself giving a hesitant response rather than a resounding one. I think that customers can have a skewed perception of custom creations. Designing a piece from scratch including every twist, turn and stone requires tremendous skill and vision. In addition, the costs can be quite high.
With more than fifty years of experience, Joe has an unmatched eye for re-imagining a piece or building something new and inventive from square one. Trained by his father, he spent over half of his career at the bench. To combine those finely honed skills with a Graduate Gemologist degree provides critical knowledge of both the “rocks and metal” aspects of fine custom jewelry. Joe can often be found arranging and rearranging gemstones and diamonds in artful patterns, constantly striving to find the perfect position… waiting for the magic to happen.
The staff at Joden boasts two world-class bench jewelers. Now, it is their expert hands that bring Joe’s visions to reality. Occasionally, we utilize other sources for precise talents like stone cutting and polishing, metal casting and molding. The jewelry world is fairly small. The world of handmade custom jewelry is much much smaller.
The uniqueness of this ring does not reside in the style but rather in the rarity of the center stone. The elongated shape of this Precious Topaz is elegant and breathtakingly beautiful. Each line of this emerald cut stone is crisp and clean. Displaying the peachy hue of an expensive champagne, this collectible gem weighs 12.50 carats. It was Joe’s keen eye that conceived this simple modernistic ring. The three stone concept is not new, but usually, the size differentiation between the center and the side stones is slight. Here, the trillion diamonds measure just one third of the length of the topaz. With a combined weight of 1.23 carats, these diamonds are truly just an accent to the star center stone.
