Baubles, Bling and Three Stone Rings

The classics never go out of style… diamond stud earrings, gold hoops, eternity bands, tennis bracelets – the list goes on and on. One of my favorite traditional pieces is the three stone ring. The symbolism is simple: one stone for the past, one stone for the present and one stone for the future. One single sentence ensures that the three stone ring is perfect for any occasion. Whether it be an engagement, an anniversary or a right-hand ring, the power of three is hard to deny.

Recently we acquired a brand new beauty that reminded me of an old favorite. This new ring is made from 18-karat yellow gold. A bright white oval diamond sits center stage, weighing .78 carat. It twinkles and shines with every turn of the hand.

Flanking the diamond is a striking pair of matched oval rubies. Combined, these two gems have a total weight of .87 carat. Exhibiting the color of ripe bing cherries, these rubies are small but mighty. The color jumps out of the ring. Surrounding the three stones and cascading down each shoulder are forty-four round brilliant diamonds.

These diamonds have a combined weight of .34 carat. The overall petite size of this ring is so appealing. It’s beautiful on the hand… I cannot stop looking at it. It’s moderately priced at $4,650.00.

Next to this yellow gold stunner is that white gold beauty. Also made in the traditional three-stone style, this 18-karat white gold ring is equally striking. The center stone is an unheated 1.64 carat oval ruby. Deep red with just a hint of purple, this gemstone is the color of a fine merlot. A pair of half-moon diamonds sit on either side of the ruby offering .23 carat of sparkle. Completely encircling the center stone, each side stone and shoulder are sixty round brilliant diamonds.

With a total weight of approximately .75 carat, these diamonds add the perfect amount of brilliance to this ring. Shown from behind, the filigree wire-work of the under gallery and the engraved patterns on the shank come to life, adding a vintage flair to this otherwise modern ring.

This yellow gold ring is smaller and more delicate than that white gold ring. Moderately priced at $4,650.00. this oval diamond and ruby ring sits beautifully on the ring finger of the left hand. It would work equally well as an anniversary or right hand ring. Not to be forgotten and priced at $6,450.00, that oval ruby and half moon diamond ring is a showstopper on the hand and would also be the perfect choice to celebrate any important occasion. Both are available on our site now. I have just one question. Which do you prefer? This yellow gold charmer or that white gold dazzler? This or that?

Baubles, Bling and Symbolic Things

I have always loved three-stone rings. My sentimental side vibes with the symbolism of each stone… one for the past, one for the present and one for the future. Aesthetically, I appreciate the balanced, symmetrical appeal of a classic three-stone. This traditional style has captured hearts for centuries.

The inventory at Joden boasts more than one of these nostalgic rings. In fact, we have them in every department… antique, estate, and of course, modern. Today, I’ve selected a unique duo. Each one offers it’s own unique charms. I can’t wait to see which one you prefer.

First, we have a modern beauty by J. B. Star. Made from platinum, this classic style is crisp and clean. Each diamond is secured with four prongs with the center stone rising above the sides. Weighing 1.21 carats, the main diamond has been certified by the Gemological Institute of America. Shining bright, this diamond has a color grade of J and a clarity grade of VS2. The two side diamonds have a combined weight of .65 carat. Keeping with the modern style, the high-polished shank of the ring offers a nice weight and feel.

Simplistically sophisticated, this ring works perfectly as an engagement ring or an anniversary ring. Sitting tall on the hand, it’s moderately priced at $7,000.00.

Showing a softer side is this late Edwardian three-stone beauty. Comprised of platinum, this ring sits low and hugs the finger. Three diamonds are nestled within a diamond accented border. The European cut center diamond weighs approximately .85 carat, and the two side stones offer an additional 1.00 carat of sparkle. Eighteen single-cut diamonds surround the three main stones, amping up the brilliant bling.

The vintage feel of this ring is absolutely charming. The shank is narrow, adding to the delicate feel of the ring. Priced at $6,100.00, this antique gem is tough to beat.

Both rings have so much to offer… it’s difficult to choose! Do you vibe with the vintage flair of this Edwardian three-stone or are you smitten with the classically clean feel of that modern marvel? Which one is your favorite… this or that? Check them both out on our site today!

A Thing of Beauty

Baubles, Bling and a Perfectly Lovely Ring

We love sharing “WOW” pieces… those breath-taking jewels that our followers go crazy for. These are the true one-of-a-kind antique wonders, the larger-than-life diamond rings, and phenomenal gem-fine colored stones. Often, these are the posts that blow-up… there will be countless likes, endless comments and more than one private message. The comments range anywhere from the most mundane “beautiful” to a snarky “too rich for my blood”. Showstoppers like this get shared multiple times with similar results. Often placed with private collector and select clientele, we sell our share of those rare beauties.

However, there’s no question that the posts that sell themselves are the unique diamond bands. Whether it be Victorian, Edwardian or Art Deco, these whimsical darlings sell every single time. There’s something so appealing about the history that could be wrapped up in a vintage wedding or anniversary band! Dana and I always have an eye out for bands with unusual details like flowers, bows, or engraving like this sweet little ring.

Crafted in the late 1930’s, this three-stone style band is made from 14-karat white gold. Three European cut diamonds span the center, each one prong set inside a square border. An additional pair of single-cut diamonds are set on the outermost edges of this trio. Combined, these five diamonds have a total weight of 1.00 carat. Near colorless, these diamonds have an average clarity grade of SI1-2. The shoulders of the ring are decorated with milgrain beaded lines, delicate scrollwork and tiny clusters of white gold beads.

On the hand, this Art Deco band offers great presence. It can be worn alone, or stacked with one or two of your favorite rings. Currently measuring a size 6.75, our expert jeweler can fit it to nearly any finger. Living in a throw-away society has really made us appreciate the craftsmanship of eras gone by. Instead of buying something brand new, choose the value and chic style offered by a great piece of estate jewelry… a thing of beauty. With decades of life left in it, this diamond band is priced at just $1,750.00! Soon to be added to our website, check it out while it’s still available!
