Baubles, Bling and Symbolic Things

I have always loved three-stone rings. My sentimental side vibes with the symbolism of each stone… one for the past, one for the present and one for the future. Aesthetically, I appreciate the balanced, symmetrical appeal of a classic three-stone. This traditional style has captured hearts for centuries.

The inventory at Joden boasts more than one of these nostalgic rings. In fact, we have them in every department… antique, estate, and of course, modern. Today, I’ve selected a unique duo. Each one offers it’s own unique charms. I can’t wait to see which one you prefer.

First, we have a modern beauty by J. B. Star. Made from platinum, this classic style is crisp and clean. Each diamond is secured with four prongs with the center stone rising above the sides. Weighing 1.21 carats, the main diamond has been certified by the Gemological Institute of America. Shining bright, this diamond has a color grade of J and a clarity grade of VS2. The two side diamonds have a combined weight of .65 carat. Keeping with the modern style, the high-polished shank of the ring offers a nice weight and feel.

Simplistically sophisticated, this ring works perfectly as an engagement ring or an anniversary ring. Sitting tall on the hand, it’s moderately priced at $7,000.00.

Showing a softer side is this late Edwardian three-stone beauty. Comprised of platinum, this ring sits low and hugs the finger. Three diamonds are nestled within a diamond accented border. The European cut center diamond weighs approximately .85 carat, and the two side stones offer an additional 1.00 carat of sparkle. Eighteen single-cut diamonds surround the three main stones, amping up the brilliant bling.

The vintage feel of this ring is absolutely charming. The shank is narrow, adding to the delicate feel of the ring. Priced at $6,100.00, this antique gem is tough to beat.

Both rings have so much to offer… it’s difficult to choose! Do you vibe with the vintage flair of this Edwardian three-stone or are you smitten with the classically clean feel of that modern marvel? Which one is your favorite… this or that? Check them both out on our site today!

Baubles, Bling and the Latest Things

I’m a sucker for a three-stone ring. I love everything about them, from the simplistic yet classic design to the deeply-rooted symbolism. For more than two hundred years, this style has captured hearts. However, in 2001, with a little bit of marketing genius, De Beers turned this popular configuration into a worldwide phenomenon.

“One stone for our past, one for the present, and one for our future.”

Those fourteen words spoke volumes. One sentence payed homage to where the two of you have been, celebrated where you are and embraced where you’re going. Who wouldn’t love that? Most of these rings showcased three diamonds with the center stone being larger than the two side stones. Occasionally, colored stones were added to change up the look, but the symbolism remained the same.

Featuring English hallmarks, this charming ring is the latest addition to our estate department. One round diamond sits proudly in the center – it weighs approximately .65 carat. It is flanked with a glorious pair of vibrant green emeralds. Together they have a total weight of .64 carat. By nature, emeralds are often pale in color with eye visible inclusions. These gems are fine quality, displaying a deeply saturated kelly green hue with minimal inclusions.

Although the ring is petite in size, the bright color palette gives it a strong presence on the hand. Emeralds are said to bring peace, harmony and domestic bliss. It’s an ideal choice to pair with the strong symbolism of the three stone ring. Both of these sentiments make it a perfect choice for an anniversary or even an engagement ring. Completing the look are three tiny diamonds nestled into each shoulder.

Emeralds are predicted to be THE engagement stone of 2023. Though I cringe a bit at the thought of wearing emeralds during day to day life… I can’t help but admit that the romantic meaning is appealing. If this three-stone is calling your name, hop on over to our website for more photos and additional details. Priced at just $2,475.00, it’s available now.

Baubles, Bling and Meaningful Things

Falling in love with this sweet little ring was as easy as one, two, three. Featuring the bright color combination of a deep hypnotic blue and a cheerful canary yellow, this three-stone ring is simply charming. I am continually surprised by my ever-changing taste in jewelry. I’ve never been a fan of heart jewelry, I have even blogged about it a time or two. Remember this showstopping pendant? Or perhaps this lovely repoussé bracelet? To date, I have written 518 blogs; a mere 8 of them have featured a piece of heart jewelry. That factors out to a scant 1.5%. The numbers alone speak for themselves – when it comes to heart-themed jewelry, I would rather leave it than take it.

Preferences are constantly evolving… often based on exposure to different people, places and cultures. For reasons unbeknownst to me, my own heart has softened in regard to romantically themed jewelry. This ring is a perfect example. We’ve had it for quite a while. I’ve glanced at it dozens of times with zero reaction. Nothing. Not even a tiny flutter. Then just last week as I was digging for something fresh to blog about, it caught my eye.

I took it out of the little plastic bag and slid it on my ring finger. Instantly, I was smitten. For a three-stone ring, it’s dainty – delicate even. A trio of heart-shaped stones line up side by side. Set in 18-karat yellow gold, each stone is held with a protective v-shaped prong at the tip and an additional prong on each curve. The center stone is a vivid blue sapphire that weighs approximately .85 carat. It’s flanked by a glistening pair of natural fancy yellow diamonds that have a combined weight of 1.00 carat.

Three-stone rings often symbolize the past, present and future of a relationship. That style usually features one larger stone in the center with two smaller ones on the sides. Here, the trio of stones are similarly sized – this design is sometimes called a triplet ring and can represent friendship, love and fidelity. Moderately priced at just $3,650.00 – the ring is available on our website. Hop on over for more photos and additional details and remember to follow your heart… it might lead you to something unexpectedly amazing!
