The Color of Christmas

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling with a Little Red and Green

When the red and green decorations start popping up everywhere, it signals the start of the holiday season.  According to the color wheel, these two shades are complementary.  They’re directly opposite from each other, creating a bold visual interest. 

To celebrate the Christmas season in style, we are showcasing a pair of classic three-stone rings that feature the rich tones of ruby and emerald.  

Entirely crafted from 18 karat yellow gold, this ring shines brilliantly.  A deep red emerald cut ruby is nestled between a matched pair of emerald cut diamonds.  The color of the stone is a true red without any hint of brown or pink.  It weighs 1.25 carats.  Completing the three-stone appeal of this timeless design are two diamonds that have a combined weight of .50 carat.  Ideally sized for any hand, this ring sits perfectly on the finger of your choosing from index to pinky.  It’s available in our showroom now for just $2,900.00.

Also offering the enduring allure of the three-stone style, this beauty focuses on an elongated emerald cut emerald.  With bright verdant color, this gem weighs 1.55 carats and is secured with a split-prong design.  With eight claws instead of four, it softens the angular lines of the emerald cut.  Seated on each side of the center are a pair of straight baguette diamonds set vertically to accentuate the shape of the emerald.  These diamonds have a combined weight of .43 carat.  This 18 karat yellow gold vision is available for $4,150.00.

Although red and green have been associated with Christmas for hundreds of years, many don’t know the significance of these beautiful hues.  Red symbolizes the blood of Christ, shed during the crucifixion while green represents the eternal life that is offered to all through Jesus.  These vibrant colors remind us of the true reason for the season.

What’s New – Volume Two

Baubles, Bling, and The Latest Things

I almost hesitate to share this latest find… the last time we featured a similar piece, it created quite a stir.  It sold immediately…  but the inquiries about that particular ring were seemingly endless with a line of willing buyers if the initial sale fell through.  As you can imagine, the original buyer loved the ring and has treasured it ever since.  That was nearly a year ago…  meaning that it has taken us that long to uncover another ring as sweet as that one was.

Just a few days ago, the ring pictured on the dark background came out of our shop…  fresh from restoration.  Shown with it’s predecessor, the similarities are striking.  Both of these beauties are made from platinum in the early part of the 20th century.  Both also feature a three stone style, complete with one gem fine ruby and two older cut diamonds. 

New to us, this delicate darling is resplendent with a hand-pierced filigree design.  The pattern swirls and whorls around the gemstone trio in the center.  Weighing approximately .50 carat, this deep red ruby appears to be Burmese and is of fine quality.  It is flanked by a pair of Old Mine Cut diamonds that have a combined weight of approximately .55 carat.  Surrounding these stones and nestled deep within the dome-shaped ring are sixteen old cut diamonds that offer an additional .50 carat of brilliance.  

In pristine condition, this ring is practically perfect in every way.  Made in the heart of the Art Deco period, it’s priced at just $1,880.00.  Click the photos to view it live on our website.  If you love it as much as we do, do not hesitate to click the buy button.  If history repeats itself, it won’t last long.

Baubles, Bling and a Three Stone Ring

This beauty caught my eye instantly…  it checks ALOT of boxes for me.  I love the petite size of the ring, it has just the right amount of presence on the hand.  The flat-sided profile lends itself to stacking with another band or two, however, it definitely packs enough punch to stand on its own. 

Made entirely of platinum, it features classic styling from the mid-Edwardian period, circa 1910. Viewed from the edge, intricate filigree settings nestle a triple threat of gemstone bling. 

 

Those lovely curlicues encircle the tiny crown-like structure and lift it off the finger, allowing light to pass through.  A luscious red ruby sits center stage.  This old cut stone weighs approximately .65 carat and is flanked by a matched pair of scintillating European cut diamonds.  These two diamonds have a combined weight of .60 carat.  The shank of the ring comes together on the ends of this trio, creating a tight twist.  

Cascading down the shoulder are four Old Mine Cut diamonds that are bezel set within the outer edges of the ring.  Like peas in a pod, the combined weight of these four diamonds is .25 carat.  Just a slight wave of the fingers produces spectacular sparkle in this early 20th century charmer.  

At over one hundred years old, this ring is authentic and original in every way.  The overall condition of the piece is quite good, and would be an ideal non-traditional engagement ring or perhaps a bit of bling for the right hand.  The symbolism of a three-stone ring is legendary and is often referred to as a past, present and future ring.  Occasionally, this is taken one step further and the power of three is interpreted as one stone for friendship, one for love and the last for fidelity.  Bring a bit of meaning to your story with this Edwardian gem for just $1,850.00.
