Pick of the Week – Volume 74

Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

This week we are showcasing a very special piece… a three-stone beauty made by famed designer Michael Beaudry.  Since 2009, this Los Angeles born company has been painstakingly crafting some of the world’s finest jewelry.  His designs are made of only the finest precious metals and gemstones; primarily platinum with accents of 18-karat yellow and rose gold.  Our own ring is indeed made of platinum – the quality can be both seen and felt.

Platinum offers true heft… weight that speaks of the merit of this lovely ring.  Focusing on the three-stone silhouette, there are a trio of larger diamonds set within the piece.  The center stone is a round brilliant diamond that weighs approximately 1.05 carats.  Flanking the center are a matched pair of round diamonds that have a combined weight of .60 carat.  

Surrounding each of the three principal diamonds is a delicate halo of tiny diamonds that continue to cascade down the shoulders.  There are seventy-six dainty diamonds in all with a total weight of .74 carat.  That brings the complete gem weight to a whopping 2.39 carats.  On average, all of the diamonds have a color grade of G-I and a clarity grade of VS-SI.  The quality continues throughout the mounting – even the back side of the ring is beautiful, as shown above.  

The three-stone style has been favored for hundreds of years.  The most recent symbolism has dubbed it as the “past, present, and future” ring.  One stone representing each.  While it’s a perfect engagement choice, it’s also quite appropriate for an anniversary or perhaps even a mother’s ring.  This symbolic beauty has been a part of our collection for quite a while, priced at $12,000.00.  Today, we are dropping the price to just $8,500.00!  

Shown on the hand, you can truly appreciate the impressive presence of this modern beauty.  With a substantial discount, there’s simply no reason to resist.  Click the photos to see the ring on our site and make it yours today.

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!
