Frankincense, Gold, and Myrrh

“When they saw the star, they rejoiced with great delight. On coming to the house, they saw the Child with His mother Mary, and they fell down and worshipped Him. Then they opened their treasures and presented Him with gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh.” Matthew 2:10-11

I cannot think of a better gift to end our series “The Twelve Gifts of Christmas” than a gift fit for a King… gold.

For thousands of years, gold has been used to create beautiful baubles. The attraction of it is undeniable… the rich buttery color, that high polish that is so alluring, and the feeling as it warms to your skin when draped around your neck.

Stacks of bangles, shiny hoops both small and large, chains of every variety from long to short, stylish link bracelets, and of course, rings. At Joden, the selection is dazzling. And the price range is vast, truly something for everyone.

Each of these three pieces is available on our website, each one offers its own unique appeal, each one is a perfect Christmas gift.

First we have a lovely Retro brooch. This authentic piece from the 1940’s is a distinctive swirl of 14 karat yellow and rose gold. At just 1.25 inches, it is the perfect size for any lapel or collar. It is available on our website now for only $325.00.

In the center, we have a 22 karat yellow gold vintage ring. This charming heart-shaped ring is adorned with a delicate pattern of flowers and vines. We all know how I feel about hearts, however, there is no denying that this ring is something quite special. Check it out now on our website for just $640.00.

Finally, we have these awesome Victorian tassel earrings. These statement earrings are amazing in the ear – the tassels move with you, creating a fantastic look. They are also available on our website now – a steal at just $675.00.

Find each of these things and so much more in our showroom at Joden Jewelers. This is our last night of holiday hours. We will be open until 8pm tonight with select hours tomorrow. As always, our website is available 24/7 with free overnight shipping.

Go to our site and look, then come to Joden and touch.

Merry Christmas from our house to yours.

Baubles, Bling, and Old School Things

This past March marked our 46th year of business, over half a lifetime for owner Joe Murawski; undeniably time well spent. Most days Joe can be found in his office, the helm of Joden Jewelers – steering the ship. Joe is usually lounging in his chair, Italian leather loafers resting on the edge of the desk, a strong cup of coffee steaming in front of him, with the phone pressed to his ear. To the casual observer, it looks like chit chat; friendly banter. Those people couldn’t be more wrong. This is where the real business happens. Jewelry skates across the desk at an alarming pace. Connections are established, maintained, and solidified.

Last week, I introduced you to the work of Carlo Giuliano. I mentioned the enameled cross, pictured below. What I didn’t tell you was that this piece was acquired as the result of several telephone calls.

While these photos are quite good, they can not begin to share the exquisite details of this rare beauty. The body of the cross is comprised of six rectangular sections, each one centered on a precious gem, either a diamond, emerald, or sapphire. Each of these stones is surrounded by a border of white enamel with black and blue swirls. To further accent this piece, the side and back of each segment are enameled as well, in more complex patterns featuring the addition of powder blue and soft pink enamel. No matter where you look, you will find a new detail: a natural pearl, a French cut ruby, or a tiny gold bead.

In a time where most businesses are dependent on computers, here at Joden, we’re kicking it old school. We’ll stick with the telephone. You never know who or what might be on the other end.
