The more things change, the more they stay the same. No industry demonstrates this better than jewelry. New styles and trends evolve continually, at the same time, we see hints of eras gone by. At Joden, we have three stone rings from the past 200 years… Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian, and Art Deco. In 2001, De Beers capitalized on the look by dubbing it the “past, present, and future” ring. Today, more than twenty years later, the label this iconic brand created continues to speak to jewelry lovers everywhere.

In 2024, customers are leaning into traditional elegance while simultaneously infusing their own spirit into their jewelry. Showcasing that concept, this week’s ring is deceptively simple. At a glance, it seems like a basic three-stone ring. And it is but it’s also SO much more. Instead of three round stones , or three oval stones, this ring juxtaposes soft curves with sharp angles. The shoulders of the platinum ring feature a pair of step-cut bullet-shaped diamonds. These near colorless diamonds have a total weight of .75 carat.

The geometric lines of the side stones stand in contrast to the warm curves of the center diamond. Weighing 1.01 carats, this gem comes alive with rich, deep tones. Reminiscent of a fine bourbon, the technical term for this color is Fancy Deep Brownish Orange. Certified by the Gemological Institute of America – this beautiful color is completely natural. Only one in 10,000 carats of cut diamonds displays fancy color… a true rarity.

The platinum shank of the ring features a knife edge; the tip of that edge aligns perfectly with the point of the bullet diamond. It’s a small detail that makes all the difference. This modern beauty is the culmination of many quiet nuances that combine in the best possible way. Priced at $10,500.00, this ring is the latest edition to our site. Add a splash of bourbon on the rocks to your life today.

Joe’s Special Box – Volume 138

It was no surprise to discover this sweet little ring tucked away in Joe’s Special Box… it’s everything any antique jewelry lover could want. Perfectly petite and made from 18-karat white gold, this Art Deco ring is in near perfect condition from top to bottom. Currently measuring a size 6.25, it can be adjusted up or down to accommodate most finger sizes (within reason).

Typical of the Art Deco era, the center stone is a square cut simulated blue sapphire. Artisans often opted for synthetic colored stones due to their color consistency and flawless clarity. Although it’s not a natural sapphire, the bright blue hue of this little stone provides a great pop of color for this otherwise monochromatic ring. It is nestled between a matched pair of Old European cut diamonds. These two gems have a combined weight of approximately .08 carat. Their high crown angles and open culets speak to the age of the diamonds as well as the ring itself. All three stones are framed by a milgrain-edged elongated hexagon border.

Situated just outside that beaded edge is a secondary perimeter – this one is accentuated by a hand-engraved pattern of diagonal lines mixed with round arches. The decorative etching continues down the apex of each shoulder with a chevron pattern that gets smaller as it descends. Further filling in the shoulders and both sides of the ring are two distinct filigree designs… one is a series of curves and the other resembles a row of columns with a scalloped top.

All of this intricate and precise detail is accomplished on a miniature scale – this ring measures just half an inch across the top. It’s dainty, darling and available! It’s priced at $800 – a steal for a ring that looks like it’s never been worn. Check it out in our 144 South Broad Street showroom or on our website.

Baubles, Bling and Detailed Things

It’s the little details that turn a house into a home. From welcoming flowers on the front porch to the blanket draped lovingly across the back of the sofa – these are the things that make you want to settle in and stay for a while. Growing up, my parents’ house was always (and still is) fitted with all the elements of home – soft throw pillows, family pictures, and the scent of a Yankee tart wafting through the kitchen. Now, my house has its own charms – baskets of blankets perfect for cuddling, a well-loved and oh-so cozy chair in the family room, and a container of homemade sweet treats on the kitchen counter. These seemingly insignificant particulars are, in fact, the very things that matter.

Antique jewelry is often the same. It’s the fine points that take a piece from ordinary to extraordinary. Edwardian and Art Deco finery is notable for stunning lace-like filigree jewelry, like this ring. Made from a foundation of 18-karat white gold and topped with a layer of platinum, this three-stone ring is dripping with details. A trio of European cut diamonds mark the center section of the ring. Though each one is round, they are seated within both square and pear-shaped borders. Milgrain beads add texture to those borders. Cascading down the shoulders are two additional diamonds – these tiny sparklers are single-cuts. Single-cut diamonds have just seventeen facets and were often utilized in pieces from the early to mid 1900’s.

The outside edges of the ring have four more single-cut diamonds. All nine diamonds contained within the ring have a total weight of approximately .50 carat. Gossamer wire threads connect each segment in a fine filigree web. The woven pattern curls and whirls around the softly-domed top. Finishing the sides and decorating each shoulder is chevron-shaped leaf engraving. From the milgrain-beading to the filigree lace, these elements culminate into one enchanting ring. If a single detail were gone – the ring would not be the same.

The elements create a mood, an ambiance… a warm fuzzy feeling. It’s like the emotion evoked by curling up in my favorite chair with my Snoopy throw blanket. This ring doesn’t shout, but rather speaks in a quiet eloquent voice. Made between the end of the Edwardian era and the beginning of Art Deco, it’s a crossover piece. Priced at just $1,150.00, this ring is the newest arrival to our website. Check it out then stop by the store to see it out for yourself!
