Pick of the Week – Volume 16

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

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.

“Just like any relationship, it’s all the little things that add up to the big picture.” – Simon G.

As Simon G. so wisely noted, jewelry is often a collection of fine points…  details that collaborate and create one stunning piece.  This estate ruby ring, signed by the man himself is a prime example of that statement.  

At a glance, one would say this is a classically beautiful ring.  The initial impression reveals a traditional three stone motif centered on a deep red natural ruby.  Weighing 2.57 carats, the rich tone of this stone creates a focal point for the eye.  Flanking this beauty are a pair of perfectly matched princess cut diamonds.  These two stones have a combined weight of .35 carats.  Simple so far, yes?

Now, let’s get to those subtle details that make a Simon G. ring truly special.  Resting slighting underneath the center ruby is a delicate halo of round brilliant diamonds.  It perfectly encases the entire three-stone portion.  The shank splits into two delicate parallel lines, each hand set with sparkling diamonds as are both sides of the ring.  There are ninety round brilliant diamonds in all totaling .50 carat.  Finally, further accenting these bright white diamonds are rows of small beads, a technique that has been used since the Edwardian period called milgrain.  

Simon G. pieces are polished on every surface; the top, back, interior, and underneath glisten.  Every stone is set by hand.  A ring like this, classically traditional with a nod to modern aesthetics, has us wondering why it’s still here.  It’s a perfect choice for The Piece of the Week!  Previously priced at $6,000, this vision is now available for just $4,450.00.  Don’t miss this unbelievable deal!
