What’s New – Volume 44

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling and the Latest Things

For years, a myth has been circulating about an engagement ring budget…  it states that three months salary is the standard.  Just throw that right out the window.  No one should spend more on a ring than they can afford – there are countless ways to find the perfect ring without breaking the bank.  

While the engagement case at Joden boasts over one hundred different rings in a VERY broad price range – we also have some amazing buys in our antique and estate department.  There are delicate filigree beauties and baguette trimmed numbers with a 1950’s vibe.  There are Victorian solitaires and sapphire gems that are sure to knock your socks off.  Any and all of these have merit on every level – but today, we’re focusing on just one.  

This 14-karat yellow and rose gold set is absolutely charming.  I’m always a sucker for a flower ring and this one had me from the beginning.  A pair of five-petaled flowers flank the center stone.  The blossom itself is crafted from rose gold while the stems and leaves are yellow.  The middle of each is marked by a single-cut diamond.  A third matching flower accents the fitted shadow band.

The three single-cut diamonds have a combined weight of .05 carat.  Set between the flowers is one round brilliant diamond secured with four prongs.  This diamond weighs .30 carat.  With a near colorless grade of G and a clarity grade of SI1, it’s a real sparkler.  The two rings nestle perfectly together and are priced at just $980.00 – proof positive that a perfect engagement ring doesn’t have to cost three months salary.  It will be added to our site soon, but if you simply cannot wait…  stop by the store and check it out!

Never Underestimate A Classic

 Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling and Out of the Ordinary Things

Quarantine has me doing some things I would never have thought I would do.  The hubs and I have been shopping online for a new sofa.  You cannot purchase a couch without sitting on it, checking the comfort factor and feeling the fabric.  You just can’t.  And yet, here we are.  

We made it through exactly three episodes of The Tiger King – and for me, even that was excruciating.  I found myself nodding off many times.  It just isn’t my kind of show.  However, as the days go on…  we may have to endure another round or two.

Perhaps you were throwing around the idea of getting engaged before the world turned upside down.  Now you find yourself wondering when Joden Jewelers will open so that you can come in to select the perfect ring.  While I don’t know the answer to that question…  I do have the ring!

Check out this little gem…  a platinum six-prong diamond solitaire.  Inscribed inside are the magic words – “Tiffany & Co”.  What girl hasn’t dreamed of opening that blue box (Yes, of course, we have THE box!)?  Nestled inside is this beauty featuring a bright white half carat round diamond center.  It’s a classic.  Priced right at $2,250.00 – it’s also within your reach!

Here’s the BEST part.  It’s still paired with it’s original mate – a simple band.  Like the engagement ring, this band  also has words inscribed inside; but it isn’t a brand.  It’s a date… “July 3, ’74”.  Not antique – but definitely vintage perfection.  This tiny bit of heaven is priced at $600.00.  

Two months ago, buying an engagement ring online was probably inconceivable.  I’m sure you had a plan, and I’m sure it was a good plan.  But times have changed.  And this ring is just too good to pass up.  Call us today at 800-747-7552 to make it yours.  

Stay safe and healthy, my friends.  Shop from home.

Holiday Halos

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and Illuminated Things

From the time I was a very little girl, we watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade…  favorite characters filled floats, danced along with marching bands, and even floated high above the New York skyline in the form of oversize balloons.  Every year, the parade ends the same way…  a joyful arrival of Santa Claus.  This momentous occasion officially signals the end of one holiday and the beginning of the next – Christmas.  

Only in America have we added in a couple of extra celebratory days…  Black Friday and Small Business Saturday.  Retailers across the United States open at crazy hours, offering deals on all the hottest items.  I absolutely LOVE Black Friday shopping.  My mom and I spend the day going from store to store, checking out anything and everything we see.  We will catch each other up on our lives, chat about all the bizarre things going on around us and we will laugh.  A lot.  There will be a long, leisurely lunch and eventually we will head home.  The back of the car will be filled to overflowing with gifts for everyone on our list.  But the real treasure of the day for me is the time spent with my mom.  

At Joden, we have decided to join the masses and have a little Black Friday fun!  Three diamond engagement rings are available at unbelievable prices! 

First is this gem.  Made from 18 karat white gold in a classic halo style, this ring features a cushion-cut diamond as the center stone.  This ring (and the other two) have been certified by the International Gemological Institute of America (I.G.I.)…  the center stone weighs 1.60 carats.  Surrounding it are 58 round brilliant diamonds and two square diamonds that have a combined weight of .40 carat.  That’s 2.00 carats of total diamond weight!  The certificate values the ring at $12,150.00.  Today, we are offering it for $6,250.00!

Or do you prefer a round diamond?  If you answered yes, then this is the ring for you!  This “Simon G” original ring is crafted from 18 karat white gold and contains one round brilliant diamond in the center.  This diamond weighs exactly 1.00 carat.  Micro pavé set into the halo and split shank design is an additional 152 round diamonds that have a combined weight of .62 carat.  This beauty has been valued at $7,720.00…  but you can take it home for just $3,420.00.

Finally, my favorite of the three…  a glorious pear-brilliant diamond nestled in an 18 karat white gold ring.  This diamond weighs 1.04 carats and is a real showstopper.  The color grade of the center stone is E-F, and the clarity grade is VS2-SI1.  Tiny round diamond trim envelopes the pear shape (34 stones to be exact) for an added .37 carats of bling.  Fancy shapes have surged in popularity this year, and when you look at this beauty, it’s easy to see why.  Appraised for $12,035.00 – available now for only $6,880!  

So, today, on the busiest shopping day of the year (while I am at shopping til I drop) – be sure to stop by Joden and check these bodacious bargains out for yourself.  Financing is available!  And drop in on Small Business Saturday as well…  the first 50 customers will receive a complimentary coffee cup.  We’ll even fill it up for you!
