Joden Girl
Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things
This is the 80th edition of Joe’s Special Box! I wanted to choose something truly worthy of being the 80th piece… and I think this bangle more than qualifies. Made around the turn of the 20th century, it’s a real beauty. Crafted from a bright 14 karat yellow gold, five individual squares span the top portion of this hinged bracelet. The center square is the largest with the remainder graduating down in size.
Each square has a tiny Old Mine Cut Diamond in the middle. The center diamond is surrounded by a halo of cabochon Persian turquoise. The next two squares have halos created from dainty natural pearls, while the final two segments also feature turquoise… just like the center. The outer edges of each section have been hand engraved with a lovely pattern of scrolled lines showing how a little touch can add so much! This bangle, price at $2,650.00 brings a hint of bling to a special occasion, but is still simple enough to be worn every day. I can’t wait to see what the next 80 pieces will be!
