Pick of the Week – Volume 19

Joden Girl

Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

This sweet little treat was highlighted in our holiday gift guide for 2019.  Made in a subtle three-stone style, it has all the earmarks of a quick-seller –

  • All aglow with the shine of 14 karat rose gold, this is a true beauty.
  • Delicate styling (including three tiny halos) makes this gem perfect for any hand.
  • A classic round brilliant diamond sits center stage, bringing the bling to this ring. 

I have to wonder…  why hasn’t it sold?  Perhaps you’re thinking it’s the color of the metal.  Just a couple of years ago, I might have agreed with you.  I was certain that rose gold was going to be a passing fancy, a trend.  There have only been a handful of times in jewelry history where this pink-hued metal reigned supreme.  Admittedly, not every customer who comes through the door is looking for it, however rose gold is still a very popular request here at Joden.  

Maybe your guess is that it’s the design.  Typically, I am not a halo girl – but there’s something about this ring.  It’s so charming!  Often halos seem to swallow up the center stone, detracting from it’s inherent beauty.  But in this case, those dainty diamond circles add just a touch of sparkle in all the right places – they enhance that .71 carat round brilliant diamond to perfection.

All of this has me thinking that the only possible reason that this ring hasn’t sold must be the price!  It’s been certified by the International Gemological Institute of America, declaring the retail replacement value to be $6,125.00.  

Let’s crunch the numbers –

  • International Gemological Institute of America Value:  $6,125.00
  • Original Joden Price:  $4,590.00
  • Pick of the Week Price:  $3,750.00

Hop on over to our website and check it out for yourself.  With the new unbelievable pricing, this enchantress won’t last long!

Pick of the Week – Volume 16

Joden Girl

Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

The Pick of the Week is my favorite feature blog.  I adore the idea of making some of our most cherished items more affordable!  Who wouldn’t love that?  Without question, the diamond engagement rings have been the most popular pieces.  

This week, we’re focusing on a different price point…  an authentic, mint- condition Victorian ring.  It’s a tiny treasure!  Made from 9 karat yellow gold, with 18 karat gold gilding, this ring is perfection.  I love the architectural outline… with gentle curves and bold edges.  Distinctly divided into segments, this antique three stone ring is beautiful from every angle.

One rose cut diamond is set within an eight-pointed star in the center.  It’s flanked by a pair of old cut rubies that are also star-set.  This style was quite popular during the Victorian era, adding a bit of flair to each little gem.  A pair of triangles are carefully etched into each side of the shank.

Three distinct hallmarks are stamped inside the shank of this English ring.  It’s a wonderful example of fine antique jewelry.  Previously priced at $850.00, this piece is available now for just $675.00!

This or That – Volume One

 Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling and Favorite Things

Timeless design, classic appeal and rich with symbolism; the three-stone ring is arguably one of the most iconic styles of all time.  Whether you’re searching for the perfect engagement ring or perhaps an anniversary band that is beyond compare – this exemplary configuration is definitely worth considering. 

Most often dubbed the Past, Present, and Future ring – it’s aptly named.  Usually arranged with one larger center stone that is flanked by a pair of smaller stones, the meaning is simple.  One small diamond represents the love and memories the couple has shared, the other smaller diamond personifies all of the beauty and joy of where the relationship is now while the larger diamond in the center is symbolic of a bright and promising future. 

Once you’ve committed to this ultra romantic motif, I have just one question for you…  this or that?  These two beauties are at the top of my list, but which one would you choose?  First, we have an antique-inspired 18 karat yellow gold stunner.  A revival of the Victorian half-hoop ring, this modern counterpart has a quiet beauty that is tough to beat.  With the three main diamonds having a combined total weight of 1.72 carats – it sparkles from every angle.   The overall style of this gem is low profile and band-like, making it ideal for daily wear.  Priced at $6,700.  

Then we have this cool platinum dreamboat.  Three round diamonds span the mid-section of this modern marvel with a combined total of 1.04 carats of brilliance.  An additional thirty diamond melee are set in the side, shoulders, and gallery of the band – quite literally covering the entire top half of the ring.  This baby is all about the sparkle and is available on our website for just $5,850.00.

And so the question remains the same…  this or that?  Would you prefer the warm Victorian vibe created by this vintage-inspired yellow gold ring or perhaps you’re captivated by the white hot heat of the platinum number.  These and so much more is waiting for you at Joden Jewelers.
