Joe’s Special Box – Volume 91

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

This week’s edition of Joe’s Special Box is a true SHOWSTOPPER!  A beauty like this comes along once in a lifetime and is too good to miss.  Joe described it as one of the finest Art Deco rings we have ever had.  Constructed entirely of platinum and completely handmade – take in every single detail. 

One fine Old European cut diamond is half-bezel set in the center – weighing .95 carats with a color grade of F-G, and a clarity grade of VVS2-VS1, this gem is dynamite!  It glitters from every angle.  At the northern and southern tips of the ring are a pair of deep scallops, each one set with three French cut natural blue sapphires.  Twenty-six additional mixed cut diamonds are set in the shoulders and shank of the ring.  A series of miniature platinum beads add dimension to this vintage beauty.  I love the engraved pattern on the edge – a repeating design of four-petaled flowers.  Two kite-shaped sapphires set into the top of the ring finish the look to perfection.  

This ring has a certificate from the International Gemological Institute of America, appraising it for $12,050.00.  We are offering it for just $9,250.00!  If you’re looking for a beautifully unique engagement ring, the search is over.  Come to Joden Jewelers and take this ring from Joe’s Special Box home today!

Victorian Vows

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and an Antique Diamond Ring

In the mid to late 1800’s, girls as young as twelve were permitted to marry, although most waited until they were at least 20.  That’s a bit younger than today.  Nowadays, the most common age for ladies to tie the knot is about 27.  In either case, I am certain that countless hours were spent dreaming of the perfect engagement ring.  

No matter the era, Victorian or modern – this stunner is sure to be the cause of many oohs and aahs.  Made from 14 karat gold polished to a soft rosy glow, the band is exquisitely simple.  Twelve individual prongs create a delicately scalloped buttercup setting that cradles the Old European Cut diamond center to perfection.  Weighing in at .80 carat, the diamond sparkles and shines from every angle.  

A gently sloped shoulder splits artfully into two halves, like a pair of leaves.  At the base of this botanical-inspired design is a tiny pair of spirals that flow seamlessly into the shank.  I am in love with the sheer thinness of the band…  it’s SO comfortable!  I love a good solitaire setting – it’s tough to beat the classic elegance of it.  It’s available now for just $2,890.00.

Queen Victoria’s love of diamonds began a trend that is now a tradition.  Start your own traditions with an engagement ring from Joden where their motto holds true:

Oui Oui!

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and a Delicious Ring

$1280!  What?  I’m starting backwards today… mostly because I can’t believe the price of this turn of the century beauty.  Made in the early 1900’s, this little ring is nothing short of stunning.  It twinkles in the sunlight, positively resplendent.

It was made entirely by hand, with a center bezel set Old European Cut diamond that weighs approximately .10 carat.  Eight rose cut diamonds (also bezel set) accentuate the heart of this gem, serving to create a floral feel.  An intricate lacy design radiates out from the middle in a series of eight concentric circles.  They are artfully entwined like miniature petals on this Chrysanthemum like bloom.  Each platinum wire has been carefully decorated with a milgrain edge, adding a flourish to the exquisite filigree.  

Even the under gallery of the ring showcases a beautiful lattice pattern.  The fine quality of the workmanship lends itself to the French, although it is unmarked and unsigned.  It embellishes the hand with quiet elegance, no other adornment is needed.  

Let me repeat myself – $1280.  Call.  Text.  Send an email.  Stop by the store.  But please, someone buy this ring!  It’s simply too good to miss!
