Baubles, Bling and the Sweetest Diamond Ring

I can’t lie; it’s no secret that I have not been inspired to write about a 1920’s piece of jewelry in months. When Joe tries to show me his latest Art Deco acquisition, I can feel my eyes begin to glaze over as his voice fades away. It’s partially because the sheer volume of Deco jewelry that we have is astounding – a fact that makes it seem less rare, and somehow not as special. When selecting a featured blog piece, it needs to jump out at me. I want to feel something. It can be a positive or a negative reaction, as long as there’s a connection.

For the first time in a long time, an Art Deco ring spoke to me. It wasn’t a scream… more of a softly whispered “hello”. Made from 18-karat white gold, this petite beauty is so sweet. The top of the ring measures about half an inch across – it’s an elongated rectangle made from two individual squares with a beaded milgrain border. Nestled side by side within the rectangle are a matched pair of European Cut diamonds. These two gems have a combined weight of .85 carat.

Situated at 12, 3, 6, and 9:00 o’clock are four triangular blue stones. Mimicking the look of natural sapphires, these gems are original and period-appropriate to the ring. With points facing out, they add a hint of dimension and a pop of color to this otherwise monochromatic piece. Like the center section, each triangle is rimmed with tiny beads of white gold. Milgrain is a classic detail from the Art Deco era. Additional 1920’s details include hand-carved flowers on the outer edges, delicate filigree finery, and lovely linear engraved patterns that extend down each shoulder.

This “toi et moi” charmer packs a punch in a series of small, quiet ways. Comfortable and easy to wear, this dainty darling would be a perfect engagement ring. Stack it with one or more of your favorite bands – the possibilities are endless. Priced at $1,975.00, this ring is available in our 144 South Broad Street showroom. Call or stop by to claim it today.

Joe’s Special Box Luxury Edition – Volume 18

Baubles, Bling and A Collector’s Things

Most traditional engagement rings feature one center stone – a singular focal point. From year to year, generation to generation, the trends evolve and change. Popular styles are often influenced by celebrities, movie stars and royalty. In the 1960’s, Mia Farrow inspired an entire generation to fall in love with pear-shaped diamonds. The asscher diamond rose to fame with a little help from Elizabeth Taylor. The 1980’s were all about the marquise cut and the 2000’s were positively dripping with princess cut sparklers. All of these had one thing in common… one center stone.

All of that changed in 2001, when DeBeers launched an advertising campaign that took the diamond ring market by storm. What was this ground-breaking phenomenon, you ask? It was a simple three-stone ring. The marketing masterminds at DeBeers dubbed the “Past, Present and Future” ring. The stone on the left was for the past, the stone on the right was for the present and the stone in the center was for the future. Adding this touch of romanticism to an already incredibly sentimental engagement ring was sheer genius.

We’ve covered engagement rings with a featured center stone and the Past, Present and Future three-stone ring. Hmmm… seems like we may have skipped something in between. We skipped from one to three. What about two-stone rings? Admittedly, it’s a bit more of a unique look… but two-stone rings have actually been around since the days of Napoleon and Josephine. Aptly christened the “Toi et Moi”, the two-stone ring is designed for “you and me”.

This antique beauty is a bit of luxury from the Edwardian era. Made entirely of platinum, this turn-of-the-century ring showcases a perfectly matched pair of European Cut diamonds. With a combined weight of 2.20 carats, these dazzlers are set side by side within the vintage mounting. Decorated with delicate hand-pierced designs, tiny milgrain beading and platinum scrolls – this two-stone ring is perfection. Thirty-six supplementary diamonds accent every nook and cranny. These gems offer an additional .30 carat of bling. An ideal choice for a non-traditional engagement ring, this two-stone beauty is the latest bit of luxury from Joe’s Special Box. Make it yours for just $11,800.00.

Baubles, Bling, and The Latest Things

Dana and I are always working… constantly on the lookout for the next piece, our next post. It seems like we are in a constant competition with ourselves, seeking to find the perfect item that will break down those internet barriers. Can we get 10,000 likes? Will this be the day that we reach 8000 Instagram followers?

Since we partnered nearly three years ago, Dana and I have made some big strides. Recently, more and more of you are hitting the buy button on the Joden site. With the holidays on the horizon, internet sales are sure to skyrocket. With sales pouring in – we will strive to bring you the absolute best of Joden.

This is the first edition of “What’s New” – a blog targeted at showcasing our favorite finds. This sweet little ring popped up about two months ago, and I couldn’t wait to write about it! Intricate carving decorates the shoulder portion of this 14 karat white gold Art Deco ring. Engraving is a popular element of jewelry from the 1920’s, as are the delicately beaded milgrain edges and elongated navette shape.

While each of those details are lovely, they aren’t unusual. The thing that sets this ring apart is the center. Two coffin cut black onyx stones are stacked, one on top of the other. Each one has been set with a tiny round diamond. Onyx rings were quite popular during the Art Deco era, but they almost always have one stone. Priced at just $750.00, this two stone version is unique. It’s special. And it’s new at Joden. Click the pictures to check it out on our site.
