Dangle Mandala Earrings in Sapphire


This pair of Dangle Mandala Earrings continues to be very popular for us. The stones are burnish-set so that they lie flush with the 18K gold surface of the earring. In addition to the blue sapphire pair pictured above, we make them in diamond, ruby, orange and pink sapphire. It is a dainty dangle that somehow is right for both the office and every day as well as a little sparkle for when you go out on the town. It seems to lie just right on most everyone I have seen try them on (which is saying something for earrings!)

These earrings were recently featured in Princeton Magazine's Bridal issue.

The Mandala symbol that we use in our jewelry represents harmony, balance and focus. We hope it lends some of these qualities to each and every wearer.

New Designs...Super Fine in '09


I am always thrilled to see new work. I see how one idea comes out, and it just makes me want to see more.

So here are some new pieces...

We added stones to our small Mandala hoop. These are set with fiery orange sapphires. I loved the stone-set large hoops, and had some requests for a smaller size. (I've been really enjoying the warmth of the orange sapphires in other designs as well.)

Our Fleur design is set in all diamonds this time (G, VS1, for lots of sparkle.) I added a twist ring above it, for extra fluidity. It is regal and sublime.

The positive and negative space of the Cutout Mandala continues to intrigue me. It has a "pillow" top, meaning it curves out toward you. The piece has a lot of movement to it. This one is in blue sapphire, the color of distant mountains in the late afternoon.

Let me know if you have any thoughts on these pieces or other designs that we create. You can see more of our work on the JJD website.
