Joden Girl
Baubles, Bling and Matching Things
I am completely smitten with Mid Century Modern jewelry… over the last few months, everything else has fallen by the wayside. I love the bold and uninhibited lines. I love the whimsical style and the vibrant colors. Call it mid-century madness (I am almost fifty!); I simply cannot resist… give me all the MCM jewels!
Whether you were donning a matching pencil skirt and crop-sleeved jacket or sporting your favorite pastel sweater twin-set – this latest suite was ideal accessory. Although it was created in the 1950’s, it is still every bit as relevant today. A bold pair, this brooch and matching earrings would look great pinned to a cape for fall or even mated with a classic leather jacket. When jewelry is this good – it NEVER goes out of style.
Measuring 1.5 inches in any direction, this 14-karat yellow gold brooch adds the perfect touch of texture and shine to your fall wardrobe. Taking the shape of an equal-armed cross or a plus sign, this gemmed pin features a dual-forked stem. This is a mark of quality jewelry; the twin pin stems adds the support and stability needed to show this beauty off to it’s best advantage. The four arms are gently contoured with a dimensional ribbed surface. Sitting pretty in the center is an equally lovely amethyst.
Emerald cut in shape, this rectangular stunner weighs approximately 8.00 carats and offers a delightful lavender hue. Juxtaposed with the amethyst are four cabochon rubies; one is centered on each side of the amethyst. These rubies have a combined weight of 1.00 carat. Purple and red are an unusual color combination, but it’s perfect for fall! This suite also offers earrings to wear with the brooch or even on their own for a more casual appeal. Made in the same shape except smaller, these earrings feature a narrow wire that slides through the ear.
Measuring approximately one inch from side to side and top to bottom, these earrings are comfortable and easy to wear. Each one features a four-square of round amethyst gems in the center. Combined, these stones have a weight of .75 carat. I love that the earrings are the same as the brooch, and yet different. They’re complementary without being matchy-matchy.
If you’ve been looking for something fabulous for fall or a fresh statement suite, this delightful duo is priced right at $3,250.00. Get a little Mid Century Modern madness in your life – it’s just too good to miss!
