What’s New – Volume 14

Baubles, Bling, and The Latest Things

This week’s edition is fresh from our shop.  We paired a brand new mounting from our inventory with a deep blue emerald cut sapphire to create this classic style. 

The ring itself is constructed entirely from platinum.  It offers several sought-after elements that include:

  1. Clean lines – this is a classic design that will never fade.
  2. Diamond trim – the shoulders of the ring feature a line of diamonds that graduate in size.  The diamonds are tiny at the top and get larger as they cascade down the finger.
  3. Hidden Halo – this delicate ring of diamonds sits just beneath the center stone.  It’s the latest evolution of one of the hottest trends in engagement rings in the last ten years. 
  4. Bridged Center Stone – the center stone in this ring sits tall on the finger.  This is quite an advantage if you have selected this as an engagement ring or if you enjoy stacking rings.  A band will snug flush against the side of the ring.  

Seated in the center of this timeless treasure is a beautiful blue sapphire that weighs .94 carat.  An emerald cut is also known as a step-cut.  When viewed from the top, it looks like a square inside a square inside a square.  This particular style is reserved for stones that are very clean internally, with little to no imperfections.  

Between the stones in the shoulders and the ones in the hidden halo, there are a total of thirty-two diamonds.  These bright and sparkling gems have a combined weight of .50 carat.  Exhibiting the ideal balance between the pop of color and the accenting diamonds, this ring is simple perfection.  

Available on our site, choose this ring for a non-traditional engagement ring.  Wear it as a right-hand ring for a splash of color.  Every element of this ring is designed for endurance – the platinum, the sapphires and the diamonds.  Each of these things exhibit durable beauty.  This is a piece that you can wear every single day.  Priced at just $2,640.00 – it won’t last long.

Joe’s Special Box Luxury Edition – Volume 8

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling and  A Collector’s Things

“An inessential, desirable item which is expensive or difficult to obtain…” 

This is the definition of luxury in the dictionary.  For the past several months we have been entertaining stunning, one-of-a-kind jewels that are undoubtedly desirable.  Each of them could also be considered expensive (although that is a relative term) however, none are difficult to obtain.  The staff at Joden provides the absolute best in customer service.  With two graduate gemologists, two master bench jewelers and several jewelry professionals…  the experience at Joden is like no other.

Made from a delicious combination of 14 karat yellow gold and platinum, this fine Edwardian ring is a rare find.  A lace-like web weaves a pattern of trefoils and subtly beaded edges.  The upper portion is round, mimicking the shape of the center stone…  a cerulean blue cabochon sapphire.  The silky smooth surface of the stone rises from the ring and is surrounded by tiny sparkling diamonds.  Weighing nearly 1.50 carats, this sapphire pairs equally well with the warmth of the yellow gold and the scalloped platinum edges.  Thirty-six diamonds add .60 carats of twinkling brilliance to this early 1900’s ring.

With every element singing with Edwardian elegance…  this gem is available for $4,500.00.  If it strikes your fancy, come to our showroom at 144 South Broad Street, downtown Grove City.  Our staff is friendly – welcoming you to not just gaze upon this beauty but to slide it onto your finger and appreciate it for yourself.  

The jewelry at Joden is surpassed only by the quality of the people that work there.  Each of us was hand-selected by Joe.  We love what we do and enjoy every opportunity to share it with you.  For more than fifty years, our motto has held true…

“You can go to a museum and look, or you can come to us and touch.”

Joe’s Special Box – Volume 126

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things

Memorial Day is a time-honored tradition in this country.  It’s a day to remember all those who died in military service to the United States.  Originally called “Decoration Day”, we celebrate by placing flags and flowers on gravestones and memorials.  Veterans march in parades in local communities.  In my family, we have many veterans, including my father and my father-in-law.  We know how blessed we are that our servicemen came home.  On Monday, we will recognize and revere those who did not.  

Old Glory is a patriotic pennant of red, white and blue.  The red symbolizes hardiness and valor, the white is for purity and innocence and the blue signifies vigilance, perseverance and justice. This flag is recognized all over the world as a symbol of freedom.  This star-spangled banner has been there for every moment in the history of our nation…  from our deepest sorrows to our greatest triumphs.  

This ring from the late 1800’s offers much of the same symbolism.  Made in classic three stone style, the design has one stone for the past, one for the present and one for the future.  The power of three is universal.  It’s the holy trinity…  Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  In addition, sapphires are believed to represent truth, sincerity and faithfulness.  Rich blue in color, this old cut natural stone weighs approximately 1.60 carats.  It is flanked by a matched pair of Old Mine Cut diamonds.  These two stones have a combined weight of 1.25 carats.  The diamond is the chosen gem of commitment and strength. 

What piece of jewelry could be more perfect for Memorial Day than this late Victorian ring?  Comprised of blue sapphire and white diamonds, this ring stands for truth and commitment… the very same promises made by our flag and guaranteed by those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
