Nationally Recognized Hometown Jeweler Opens Online Store, 

Reveals Antique and Vintage Jewelry Options

Joden World Resources is owned and operated by one of the industry’s most trusted jewelers, the online store is a boon to consumers who don’t know the options, merits and value of buying exceptional
jewelry with a history.

“While many people know about antique, estate or museum quality jewelry, they don’t necessarily know how to shop for it,” said Ariana Wood of the Grove City, PA-based Joden World Resources. “Our online store gives both new customers and seasoned jewelry connoisseurs the opportunity to do this in a unique setting that’s authoritative and accessible,”

This new website seeks to create a unique, dynamic and user friendly platform where shoppers are given the tools to understand antique and vintage jewelry from eras past.

“This is jewelry you won’t find anywhere else,” she said. “We’ve been fortunate through our company’s 43-year history to accumulate these rare pieces. and now we want to make them available to shoppers everywhere, anywhere.” Additionally a portion of the personal collection of the owner, Joe Murawski, will also be available to buy online.

Rare Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Edwardian, Victorian and Georgian period jewelry populates the online store platform, with crisp, colorful, photos that make you want to reach for them. Nearly all the pieces are true one of a kind, and can be directly purchased using an online shopping cart, Wood said.

“Our hope is to recreate the same high-quality, personalized shopping experience online as buyers have at our Grove City headquarters,” said Wood.

The distinction of Joden as an industry leader includes ownership of the nation’s largest collection of work by Carlo Giuliano (1831-1895). Favored jeweler to Britain’s Queen Victoria, Giuliano worked in the Renaissance style, producing precise and  colorful, ornate jewelry with extensive enameling of unparalleled quality.

“We love to see our fine antique and vintage jewelry come under ownership of true antique lovers,” Wood said. “The online store gives us a way to accomplish this on a broader scale than ever.”
