We all know what a halo is… a crown of light rays hovering above the head of an angel. It can also describe a circle of light around the sun, moon or other luminous body. In religious art, the halo symbolizes spiritual importance and a divine connection. It is the visual representation of light, grace and heavenly glory. A halo around the sun or moon occurs as the light refracts off of ice crystals that are in cirrus clouds. In both cases, it is a circle of light.

Today’s pick is the perfect example of the hottest looks of the modern era – the halo. For all intents and purposes, the definition is still accurate. In the jewelry world, a halo is a small ring of diamonds that surrounds another stone. And although the style was anything but new, the concept took off like wildfire. This miniature band of diamonds also reflects the light and enhances the appearance of the center stone.

This classic ring is made entirely of platinum by legendary designer, Simon G. A ring of twenty round brilliant diamonds comprise the halo, while an additional twenty diamonds create two rows that cascade down each shoulder. These diamonds have a combined weight of .50 carat. As is the standard in all Simon G. designs, these gems are near colorless with a clarity grade of SI1-2. Accentuating the design are rows of tiny beads of platinum called milgrain. This beading encapsulates the halo, as well as both rows of diamonds on the shoulders. This small detail brings a hint of vintage-inspired design to this modern ring.

Shining from the center of the halo is a natural earth-mined diamond that weighs 1.06 carats. This near colorless diamond has a clarity grade of SI1-2. The total diamond weight for this engagement ring is 1.56 carats! It has been on our site for $8,250.00. Today, we’re dropping the price to just $6,000.00. That’s quite a savings. If you or someone you know is dreaming of a halo-styled designer diamond ring, this is a fantastic option. Hop on over to our site for additional photos, then add it to the cart and make it yours.

Baubles, Bling and the Latest Things

Customers are ALWAYS remarking that they couldn’t possibly work at Joden Jewelers. They would spend their entire paycheck on jewelry! Then they look at us and wonder aloud how we are able to do it. Surely being surrounded by these sparkling gems must be too much temptation to resist. The answer isn’t quite that simple…

We work for a living (and haven’t won the lottery), so spending our ENTIRE check on jewelry wouldn’t be wise.
Over time, a sense of “jewelry-blindness” takes over. Anything ordinary simply doesn’t get noticed.
What if I buy this now and something I love even more comes in tomorrow??

Writing blogs and partnering with Dana on all things internet-related (our website, Facebook and Instagram) adds another element to the mix. We can’t just choose pieces we like, but instead must look at everything through your eyes as well. Dana and I watch for trends, pieces that are rare and signed goods. We look for jewelry that’s not only aesthetically appealing but also offers great value.

Lately, I’ve been drawn to yellow gold. I even told Dana that I cannot write about another platinum diamond ring – but those posts are the ones that get the most response. We strive to keep our content fresh; and because we specialize in antique jewelry, we do see more Edwardian, Art Deco and Mid-Century modern rings than most jewelry stores. It’s up to us to pick through and save the very best ones for Joden – even if it doesn’t jive with our latest obsessions!

Reminding me of my own engagement ring, this dainty darling caught my eye. Made near 1940, it’s a little bit Art Deco and a little bit Mid-Century Modern. Platinum from top to bottom, it centers on a round diamond weighing approximately .53 carat that is set within fishtail style prongs. Flanking this diamond are a pair of step-cut trapezoids that total .45 carat and then two straight baguettes that offer an additional .18 carat of sparkle. If you’re keeping track, that’s 1.16 carats overall. Mint condition and utterly charming, this beauty is priced at just $2,450.00. If you love a great vintage piece, hop over to joden.com for additional photos and details.

And so, even though I said I couldn’t possibly write about another platinum diamond ring… clearly, I was mistaken. Super sweet and priced to sell, this little ring was too good to pass by. Every single day Dana and I talk about you guys… our readers, followers, customers and friends. We love what we do. We hope that it shows and that you love it too. ♥

From one elegant tip to the other, this ring is alive with an abundance of minute details… each one adding another dimension to this lovely confection. Constructed entirely of platinum near the end of the Art Deco era, this 1930’s beauty is sculpted and refined. It’s elongated, but not in the typical navette shape – this unique charmer takes the form of a rectangle with the longest side following the line of the finger. Each corner nips in like something took a bite out of it creating eight sides instead of just four.

Mimicking the shape of those curved corners are a pair of arched lines – one on the top right side and the other on the bottom left. These strong contours combine with a wide milgrain-edged border to form the perimeter of the pattern. A series of three marquise shapes fill the center, each one set at a jaunty angle and stacked in a straight line. Connecting each of these elements are thirteen horizontal bars, much like the lines on a piece of composition paper.

Accenting the tips of the marquises are four bezel set round diamonds. There are a total of twenty-three diamonds decorating this vintage ring – they offer a combined weight of .90 carat that dazzle from every angle. The shoulders of the ring don’t have any diamonds, but are no less decorative than the top. Taking the form of an elongated kite, each side features tiny beaded edges and lovely engraved patterns. A small opening in the center copies the exact outline and completes the look. Detail after detail, this ring is a true stunner. This fresh find is available on our website for just $1,375.00!
