Baubles, Bling and Favored Things

The price of gold skyrocketing to higher and higher heights each day.  In fact, the only thing growing faster than the price of gold is the demand for gold jewelry.  As we inch closer to the biggest gift-giving holiday of the year, there’s no question that by December 24th, we will have boxed and sold more yellow gold jewelry than in the past twenty years.  Rope chains, cross pendants, link bracelets, hoop earrings, wedding bands and more will have been carefully selected for that special someone.

Gold is enduring.  It warms to the touch.  Gold is timeless.  To give a gift of gold is to create an heirloom of the future.  Not only will the recipient treasure the gift, but you will be able to enjoy your gift being worn and loved.  A recent acquisition, this bracelet is very gift-worthy.

Measuring 7.25 inches from end to end, this curb link bracelet is golden elegance.  Centered in the middle of the thirty-six links is an oval-shaped section.  Bezel set within the oval is a cabochon ruby.  This deep red gemstone weighs approximately 1.25 carats.  Nestled within the bezel are four round brilliant diamonds.  Located to either side of the center are two identical links, one with a cabochon emerald center and one with a cabochon sapphire center.  Each of these gemstones also weigh approximately 1.25 carats.  Combined, the twelve diamonds have a total weight of .18 carat.

Suitable for frequent wear, this golden beauty is priced at $2,200.00… a generous gift by anyone’s standards.  This and so much more can be found on our website and in our store.

Pick of the Week – Volume 36

Joden Girl

Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

When we talk about periods in jewelry, we tend to concentrate on Victorian, Art Nouveau, Edwardian and Art Deco.  These eras had a huge impact on the style and trends of the time.  One period that isn’t often discussed is Mid Century Modern.  From the mid-1940’s to the late 1960’s, there was a post war period that still carried remnants of Retro with a decidedly feminine feel. 

Retro was a reflection of World War II and the effects of it.  Rose gold reigned supreme.  It was often paired with yellow gold in bold patterns with militaristic lines.  Post-war years were a time of growth, abundance and luxury.  Jewelry from the Mid Century Modern era kept the strong lines of Retro, but softened them with elegant patterns often bejeweled with diamonds and colored stones.  Flowers, vines and leaves brought added dainty touches.

This stunning bracelet marries a sleek and stylish 18 karat yellow gold base with an intricate sterling silver top.  Each of the twelve links are identical.  Four leaves form the corners while a small round ruby marks every center.  The patina that has developed on the silver leaves is glorious, adding dimension and a just a hint of darkness.  The details are absolutely amazing, bringing this bracelet to life.  

I’ve always admired this beauty and I would love to see it being worn and appreciated.  I’m keeping my fingers crossed that adding it to our Pick of the Week feature will do the trick! 

Previously priced at $5,850.00 on our website, this gem has just received a MAJOR price drop.  Made of 18 karat yellow gold and sterling silver with over 2.00 carats of pretty pink rubies, this gem is now available for just $3,250.00!  Do the math…  that’s a savings of $2,600.00!  Click on the link to our website and make this statement bracelet yours today.
