With yellow gold reigning supreme as THE metal of choice, our cases are overflowing with exceptional examples of this warm rich medium.  Although gold is great on its own, it’s also the ideal accent for gemstones of every color… especially sapphires.  There’s nothing like the deep full-bodied tone of 18-karat yellow gold paired with vibrant vivid blue sapphires.  

This ring is a bold statement piece.  Measuring just over a half-inch wide on the top and tapering to a quarter-inch at the back – it’s sturdy and strong. Featuring five distinct rows of stones, this ring alternates diamond, sapphire, diamond, sapphire and diamond.  The outside edges are set with fifty round brilliant diamonds while the center row highlights two step-cut square diamonds and two tapered baguettes.  These fifty-four diamonds have a total weight of .64 carats.  Nestled into the rows between are twenty-eight square sapphires.  Reminiscent of your favorite denim jeans, the tone of these sapphires is the perfect medium blue.  They offer 2.50 carats of subtle shine.

Seated atop this beautiful broad acre of glittering gems is one octagonal step-cut natural sapphire.  Graded by the Gemological Institute of America, the stone hails from Thailand – a country that produces some of the finest sapphires in the world.  This stunner weighs exactly 2.65 carats and flawlessly matches the color of the other twenty-eight blue beauties.  

This ring is a prime example of the advantage of a modern piece.  Expert manufacturing complete with clean-out holes behind every stone ensure the longevity of the ring.  Diamond rates as a 10 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness and sapphires (aka corundum) rank at a nine; these gems aren’t just pretty, they’re durable too.  Every element of this ring from the superb construction to the stone choice promises that this ring can be worn every single day.  It’s a piece of jewelry made to be loved and enjoyed.  Priced at $6,500.00 – this is the choice that will last a lifetime.

Last week we featured an absolutely stellar Art Deco inspired ring from modern designer SophiaD.  Today, we’re wow-ing you with an authentic original beauty.  Elongated and elegant, this navette-shaped ring is positively dripping with 1920’s appeal.  

Platinum from top to bottom, the outline of this ring resembles a pair of triangles facing opposite directions.  At the center of each one is a bright blue imitation sapphire.  The silhouette of these gems is a five-sided diamond shape.  Cutting techniques advanced during the 1920’s giving way to many new and innovative configurations like these.

Nestled between the two blue stones is a round diamond in a square setting. Six single cut diamonds mark each corner of the two triangles.  These seven diamonds have a combined weight of approximately .30 carat.  Further complementing the 1920’s look are trademark details that include pierced openwork, milgrain beaded edges and deeply etched patterns of engraving.  Measuring just under an inch from end to end, this ring is ideally sized and easy to wear. 

A perfect choice, this ring can be fitted to nearly any finger and is the latest addition to our estate department.  It’s on our site for just $1,065.00 – and won’t last long with a price like that.  If you’ve always wanted an authentic Art Deco, this one is simply too good to pass up.  Hop on over to www.joden.com and check it out for yourself.

I’m a sucker for a great sapphire ring.  I love the deep, hypnotic blue hue and can’t help but be drawn in.  Believed to calm the mind, slow the heart rate and reduce anxiety, the color blue is both powerful and serene.  Made in the Art Deco era, this latest find at Joden is too good to miss.  

The style of this ring is unique – the classic round shape doesn’t completely close.  Made entirely of platinum, the two halves are channel set with a series of straight baguette diamonds.  There are twenty-six stones that offer 1.20 carats of polished panache.  Forming a bridge that brings these two sides together are five bold blue sapphires.  Nestled inside platinum borders, these square stones have a combined weight of 1.50 carats.  

I love the smooth, clean lines of this 1920’s gem.  The style is elevated and refined yet simple enough to wear every day.  The contrast of the bright sapphire center with the colorless diamonds that surround it is visually appealing and so very Art Deco.  Available on our website for $3,500.00 – these are the kind of blues that I wouldn’t mind having!
