Tickle Your Filigree Fancy

Baubles, Bling and  Filigree Things

Trends come and go in the jewelry world.  Some of them are gone before we have a chance to enjoy them and others become instant classics – like these navette rings.  These elongated filigree rings are highly sought after and VERY desirable.  Every time we post a photo of one of these ethereal beauties on social media, it blows up. 

These two gems are both from the Art Deco era (1915-1935), one a bit earlier than the other.  Both rings are made from 18 karat white gold and both feature intricate filigree patterns.  

Five Old European Cut diamonds create a vertical line down the center of the ring with one additional stone on each side.  These seven diamonds have a combined weight of 1.00 carat.  These gems glitter in the center of a very architectural, classic Art Deco setting.  Milgrain beaded lines create a gridwork in the background, while the outer edges are lined with complex patterns of engraving.  This engraving is still crisp and in excellent condition.  Made in the 1920’s, this dazzling beauty is moderately priced at $2,200.00.

Then, we have this little charmer…  With an hourglass shape, this ring is oh-so-feminine.  Three bright white diamonds are fitted to the middle of the ring.  They draw the eye, creating a focal point.  Engraved into the top of each shoulder is a flower, complete with stem and leaves.  The background pattern of this antique is a woven wirework of loops and swirls.  Priced at $1,340 – this dainty ring won’t last long.  

If you’ve been pining for a navette ring – these are just two of the unique choices that we have available at Joden.  With distinct details, each one presents an exclusive look that is entirely you.  This year, treat yourself to something special – an heirloom ring that will continue to be handed down in your family for generations yet to come.

Baubles, Bling, and Matching Things

What’s your style?  Do you like everything to match; should things work together but not be the same, or are you a wild card with no rules at all?  At Joden, we cater to each of you.  The other day, I had a chance encounter with a pair of pieces that will appeal to those who love twinning.

First, I discovered this little beauty…  a 14 karat white gold Art Deco gem.  Intricate filigree decorates the entire navette-shaped top and both shoulders of this ring.  The delicate wires form artful patterns that create a lacey look – it’s irresistible!  A pair of marquise cut green stones flank the center section – a tiny single-cut diamond. These elements combine to perfection, creating a classic 1920’s look that sells for just $350.00.

Just a few short minutes later, I uncovered this piece – a strikingly similar bracelet.  Also made from 14 karat white gold, this charmer is the epitome of elegance from end to end.  Each of the eighteen links features a sophisticated arrangement of thirteen parallel wires overlaid with arching lines and small leaves.  Mimicking the overall structure of the ring are a trio of navette shapes, one in the center and then two others.  Each of the them are set with three single-cut diamonds.  This bracelet also features four small marquise cut green stones, just like the ring.  Selling for $980, it’s a steal of a deal.

 

Shown together, they complement each other with ease.  Art Deco is undeniably the most popular period in vintage jewelry.  It can be challenging to find pieces in excellent condition that are also affordable.  To stumble upon a pair that match is nearly impossible – these won’t last long.  To make one or both of them yours, visit our Facebook store.
