Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

This delicate beauty belongs on the wrist of a new bride. Made from a perfect pairing of yellow gold and platinum, this Edwardian enchantress is everything. Handcrafted at the turn of the 20th century – well over one hundred years ago – this gem is still in pristine condition. With a circular center section and a narrow band, this bracelet is fancy enough to wear on your wedding day and yet simple enough to add a bit of sparkle to your favorite leggings and fuzzy sweater.

Close inspection reveals five natural pearls – with a slightly golden hue and shimmery shell – these pearls amp up the vintage vibe of this bracelet. A matched pair of Old European cut diamonds flank the center section and have a combined weight of .35 carat. A series of six tiny leaves add a classic Edwardian element – each one featuring milgrain beaded edges and a rose cut diamond center. There are 24 rose cut diamonds in all with a total weight of .25 carat.

It shocks me to say that this bracelet has gone virtually unnoticed on our site for more than a year. After a quick discussion with Dana, we decided that the photos simply weren’t doing it any justice. Now, with new photos AND as a featured Pick of the Week, we’re certain that it will find a forever home.

Originally priced at $6,300 – we are now offering this antique bracelet for just $4,150. That’s a savings of over $2000! Pick of the Week pricing only lasts for one week – don’t miss this unbelievable deal. Click the link and make it yours now.

Baubles, Bling and the Sweetest Ring

It’s easy to be awestruck by a big diamond ring; blinded by the dazzling display of light reflecting off each and every facet of that bold gem. Joden is known for diamonds that weigh over two carats each – sparklers of every shape and size, the perfect fit for every hand. We have customers across the United States – and even some in other countries who fly in just to shop our decadent array of diamonds. But don’t let those luxury rings scare you away! For every opulent jewel in our inventory there is a super sweet tiny treasure.

Dana and I have been smitten with this little beauty since we acquired it just last month. Made near the end of the Mid-Victorian period (circa 1865) from a rosy 14 karat gold, the simplicity of the design is irresistible. Nestled within a platinum bezel is an oval shaped rose cut diamond that weighs approximately .32 carat. This unique cut was inspired by the shape of a rose bud; the artful arrangement of triangular facets offers an exceptional appearance and distinctive brilliance.

The side profile reveals just a hint of design and a glorious patina that has darkened the crevices where the band meets the center. While that dark tarnish would have some running to the ultrasonic, I am in love. I’m crazy over this small detail that has taken over 150 years to develop. It speaks to the age and character of this little darling. Modestly priced at just $1,125.00… check it out on our site today.

Baubles, Bling, and Primitive Things

I have several necklaces littering the bottom of my jewelry box… three or four conversion pieces, a few tiny pendants and countless charms. Each one is special in it’s own way – but none of them are what I would call a statement piece. They are nothing like the two showstoppers featured here.

This beauty dates back to the late Victorian period, circa 1880. The high karat gold shines with a rosy glow on each articulated link, hand set with glittering diamonds of both rose and old mine cut varieties. Five natural pearls add a soft, romantic feel. I love the botanical vibe created by the six-petaled blossom at the top and the smaller flower at the bottom.

With a total of 3.00 carats of diamond weight, the impact of this piece can be felt even from a distance. Although rose cut diamonds don’t have the precise symmetry of their modern counterparts, the scintillation (or sparkle) is dazzling. Primitive rose cuts were developed in the 1500’s; and even now, more than 600 years later, their appeal is undeniable. These flat-backed gems are most known for their rounded crown of faceting, utilizing anything from three to twenty-four facets. Each of these flat surfaces effectively reflects light back to the eye… although Victorians much preferred candle light. Make a statement in your wardrobe with this piece for $5,750.00.

Or perhaps this negligee style necklace is more to your liking, it’s a mid-Victorian diamond bar with a pair of asymmetrical drops suspended from it.

A half-moon shaped mirror-cut diamond sits center stage surrounded by a halo of rose cuts. The two drops end with a pair of identical round clusters that are set with twelve rose cut diamonds each. Four small bow-like accents add even more flair to this beauty. There are thirty-one stones in all for a total of three carats! The variance in size and shape of these diamonds make it quite rare as well as valuable. Although the rose cut had a decline in popularity at the beginning of the 20th century, these early examples are now commanding premium prices. This one can be yours for $8,500.00.

At Joden, we are known for statement pieces. Our curated collection of antique and estate jewelry is overflowing with fine period gems. After nearly fifty years, our motto continues to hold true…
