And One for Luck

Baubles, Bling, and Irish Things

Yesterday, people everywhere donned green shirts, green socks, even headbands with shamrocks bouncing on top. Merrymaking ranged from parades to religious observances. Even the Lenten fast has been known to be lifted in honor of the day. Perhaps you are also participated in the joviality of St. Patrick’s Day.

Millions of green beers were raised in celebration of the heritage and history of Ireland. St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated in more countries than any other national festival.

The shamrock became the symbol for this day when St. Patrick arrived in Ireland to share Christianity with the Irish people. He used a young sprig of clover to explain the Holy Trinity. The three leaves are also thought to symbolize faith, hope, and love.

Occasionally, a clover will have a fourth leaf… for luck. The luck of the Irish.

At Joden we have shamrocks with three leaves, and some with four. These are just a few examples. Be sure to stop by our showroom to see these little green beauties. Until then…

May you always find blue skies above your head,

Shamrocks beneath your feet,

Laughter and joy aplenty,

Kindness from all you meet,

Good friends and kin to miss you if ever you choose to roam,

And a path that’s been cleared by angels themselves

To carry you safely home.

– An Irish Blessing

All That Glitters Is Gold

Baubles, Bling, and Golden Things

Joden Jewelers is nestled in the heart of Grove City, Pennsylvania. With a population hovering around 8000, it’s more Mayberry than Manhattan. If you’re the kind of girl who has your eye on current trends and hot new styles, you should probably know that we tend to trail about two years behind the rest of the world. Until now.

While yellow gold is making a splash on the Red Carpet in Hollywood, and popping up on the New York fashion runways, our customers are also requesting this throwback metal. For more than twenty years, white metals have reigned supreme – platinum, white gold, and sterling silver. But for the last couple years, yellow gold has been slowly inching its way back into the spotlight.

Some are calling it sleek and trendy, while others say its vintage-inspired. Either way, it seems like the natural richness of yellow gold is here to stay. But don’t put away all your white metals – just warm them up with a classic piece, perhaps a pair of antique earrings like these.

The first pair are Etruscan Revival. Etruscan Revival was a movement during the Grand Period (1860-1885) of the Victorian Era. Artisans revived the art of ancient techniques using corded wire, filigree, and granulation. These earrings are made from 18 karat yellow gold with a tiny diamond in the center of each. They are available on our website for just $1550.00.

If you’re a diamond girl, then the second pair of earrings are for you! Made in classic lever-back style with two Old Mine Cut diamonds on each one, these are perfect for every day wear. Priced at $2500.00.

From Mayberry to Manhattan and everywhere in between – Go for the gold!

Seize The Day

Baubles, Bling, and Sun Seekers

The weatherman is calling for 72 degrees tomorrow. In February. In Western Pennsylvania. What a delicious little reprieve after the long cold days of winter. It feels like Spring. Even the flowers think so… my crocuses have pushed their bright yellow and purple petals up through the cold ground – seeking the sun. At the end of the day, I cruise down the road – sun roof open, jacket discarded on the passenger seat. I, too, am seeking the sun.

I cannot take another day of heavy coats, gloves, snow boots and hats. My boys are begging to wear shorts to school. In my best mom tone, I tell them “No! It’s February!,” but a little voice inside wants to let them. My sweaters have been shoved to the back of the closet in favor of lightweight colorful blouses and soft cotton pants. Every morning I look longingly at my strappy sandals and little summer dresses. I’m even ready for “summer” jewelry… ankle bracelets, toe rings, and delicate little necklaces like these…

I absolutely love this Victorian bib necklace. It’s incredibly light and feels as smooth as silk against your skin. Hundreds of individual gold links have been carefully woven together to create this effortless look. Pair it with a one-shouldered goddess-style dress for the perfect “night out” look, or with your favorite cropped jeans and halter for a casual effect. It’s available now on our website for just $1350.00.

Choose one of these vintage beauties for your 2017 summer wardrobe. The yellow gold adds warmth and classic style to every outfit. The twin drop necklace is available on our site – be sure to check it out today. The second pendant is a steal at $250.00 – but you’ll have to come to Joden to get it! It’s a beautiful day for a drive and we’re open until 5…

“You can go to our site and look, or come to Joden and touch.”
