It’s hard to believe that the holiday season is less than two months away. There are only forty-three “Joden” shopping days left before Christmas. Whew. If that timeline gives you the whim-whams, not to worry! Our website is available 24/7. With an amazing selection of gift-worthy jewels, our site has the perfect present for that special someone. We even offer free 2-Day shipping with every website purchase; you simply can’t go wrong.

One of our most requested gifts is a locket – and we have something truly special. Sentimental and sweet, this heirloom-quality pendant is perfect. Inspired by Victorian designs, this modern beauty is made from 14-karat yellow gold. The front half of the locket features an oval-shaped center medallion. Cobalt blue enamel coats the oval and highlights a tiny gold fleur de lis in the middle. Intricate filigree wirework fills the space between the bright blue center and the scalloped outer edge.

Upon opening the hinge, another charming element is revealed. Hand-painted on the back side of the oval center is just one word… France. The small enameled placard was created in France and some time later, it was incorporated into this lovely locket. On the right side is a sizable compartment; lacking the frame that would hold a photo, this pocket must be for a keepsake. Perhaps a lock of hair, a baby tooth or a small note could be stored here.

Closing with a snap, this pendant is the perfect place to secure precious mementos. Create an heirloom of the future for someone you love with this locket for just $1,050.00. Call or stop by to make it yours today.

Joe’s Special Box – Volume 150

Did you have a small lockbox when you were younger – a secret place where you hid treasures? Beneath the locked lid might be a smooth creamy white lucky stone, a scalloped seashell from a beach vacation, a note from a cherished friend, or even a little ring or necklace that belonged to your grandmother. Each tiny trinket holds a place in your heart.

As an adult, our prized possessions are often conserved within a safe or a deposit box. Our jewelry (personal or inherited) is stored among birth certificates, marriage licenses, deeds and passports. From time to time, these valuables can be brought out to wear, appreciate, or so that we might share them with someone else. Telling the story of a prized possession or heirloom can bring as much joy as wearing it.

Joe’s Special Box is very much like those treasure chests… a caché of riches from centuries gone by. Every ring, necklace, brooch and bracelet has been carefully selected and hidden away. Each one has a special something that inspired Joe to add it to his collection… like this Edwardian necklace. The framework of the piece is a warm yellow gold base topped with a layer of platinum. A botanical swag vines across the base of the throat showcasing a dangling pendant with swirls and fans, culminating in a singular teardrop.

Forty-eight old cut diamonds decorate the entirety of the piece with a combined weight of 2.00 carats! One round natural pearl marks the center of the pendant, adding the only bit of color to this spectacular necklace. Made near the turn of the 20th century, this diamond and pearl necklace from Joe’s Special Box is available in our showroom for just $4,950.00. If you love to hear the history of antique jewelry, take a trip to Grove City and ask to the pieces from Joe’s Special Box.

Once In A Lifetime

Baubles, Bling and Heirloom Quality Things

Typically, I am not a fan of saving your jewelry for special occasions. Why wait to wear the things that bring you so much joy? If you take care of your pieces and have them serviced regularly, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t enjoy them. Whether you’re heading out for dinner or working from your home office – my advice is to break out that bling!

But there’s an exception to every rule, right? You probably wouldn’t wear a wedding gown to the supermarket. Some jewelry is every bit as formal as that gown… and most likely not for every day wear. Like these earrings, for instance…. over three inches of 18-karat shimmering, showstopping splendor.

The opulence begins with a .61 carat cushion diamond set within a delicate diamond halo. Three gemstone chains fan out, two forming the outside line of the earring while the center one becomes an articulated dangle in the center of this pear-shaped ear candy. The two outer chains loop down and connect… they are comprised of a series of fancy cut aquamarine, morganite and round brilliant diamonds. The center pendulum ends with a 15 mm South Sea Pearl.

With twelve aquamarines and ten morganite, there are four carats of gem weight. Amp up the bling factor with two hundred and forty diamonds that offer 7.83 carats of glittering glow. These are not your average pearl earrings. These are once-in-a-lifetime event earrings. This time, my advise is to treasure these beauties, keep them for that special day. Destined to become a cherished piece of heirloom jewelry, these beauties are priced at $15,000.00. Check them out on our site now.
