Full Customization Allows The Star Pendant To Be Made For A Man Or Lady

Durability For A Streamlined Mens Pendant.

Durability for all mens jewelry and not just for mens pendants is absolutely essential. Todays men lead active lifestyles and put their jewelry through substantial wear and tear. This is something that needs to be understood, accepted and considered when designing and producing mens jewelry. If you thought that making a mens pendant durable would mean that it would appear bulky and clumsy, the Kaisilver MPN15 mens star pendant has a pleasant surprise for you.

By investing substantial resources in terms of time, money and efforts into researching the design and construction of this mens pendant, we have managed to produce a gold or silver star pendant that looks streamlined and yet is very sturdy and durable. The 6 pointed star pendant is almost fully contained in a border, just 2 points penetrate beyond the border. While we could have accomodated the two protruding points of the star into the circle, they were left out for special meaning. Many people believe that elements like the sun, moon and stars cannot be contained or confined in space and time. The MPN15 mens pendant therefore made sure that the entire star was not confined in the binding circle. So why did we not leave out the circle entirely and allow the full star to open up? The reason was related to safety, especially because most men wear their pendants all day and night. The pointed corners of the star can injure if they are left exposed. By enclosing 4 of the 6 stars within the circle we have actually reduced the chances of injury. Since this is a fully custom made star pendant, you can request for a fully open star with no border. You could also choose to have all the 6 points of the star enclosed in the border.

Coming to durability, there is much to explain here too. The pendant as you see it has a length and width but, one important dimension is missed out here. This relates to the thickness and the MPN15 has a generous 3mm to 3.5mm thickness. This adds strength to the pendant, despite the seeminly ordinary appearance from the front. The thickness adds body and support to this mens pendant without makint it appear bulky or clumsy. Most jewelers do not provide good thickness as they feel that it would add metal weight and cost to the jewel. They obviously have a short term view of making flimsy jewelry with low life spans and do not care about how your pendant would be after a few years of usage.

Before we wind up this brief report on the MPN15 Kaisilver star pendant, we would like to address one very commonly asked question related to this jewel. Buyers would like to know whether this gold or 925 silver star pendant is suitable for ladies. The answer is a big YES, with a few suggestions. The pendant as shown is around 4 cm in total length. If you would like to get a silver or gold star pendant for a lady, request for a complete height of just 3cm including the 1cm bale. This will be perfect and the support team can work a specific price quote for your requirements.

Report On Square Shaped Gems

Square Shaped Gems. The Directstones Report.

At first glance it might seem that square shaped gems are no different from gems of other shapes. However there are some important issues that need to be understood and implemented when using gems with square shape in jewelry. The importance of understanding square shaped gems begins right at the cutting and storing stage. Remember that the corners of square gems are generally quite pointed and sharp. The edges of most cut gems also happen to be the thinnest portion of the gemstone. These issues need to be considered when the cutter cuts a square gem. It is a good idea to give some thickness to the edges and corners of cut stones. This might mean custom cutting the gem but, for the final buyer it is a great benefit in the longterm.

When it comes to setting a square shaped gem, the craftsman needs to ensure that bending the prongs over the corners of the gem does not damage the sharp corners in any way. The designer of the jewel that uses square gems also has an important role to play. It is important to provide ‘V’ right angle type of prongs for square gemstone jewelry. These type of prongs offer good protection for the sharp corners. Exposing the naked corners of a square shaped gem leave the gem prone to damage by even moderate physical impact.

When you buy and wear a jewel with a square stone, you will need to ensure that the design structure and craftsmanship have played their role well. Even with this happening, you will need to store the ring and wear it with some amount of caution. When storing loose square gems, always keep them separated from each other and from other gems. Minimum handling is a good way to ensure that a square shaped gemstone keeps in good shape for a long time.

Iolite Gems, Color Range For Iolite Gem Stones.

Iolite gems are suitable for all kinds of jewelry. The different color shades of blue-violet for this gem ensures that there is a color to please everyone. The above image provided by Directstones clearly shows the three main color shades that iolite stones can be found in. The medium color iolite gem is shown first because, it is also the most popular and desired color for iolite gemstones. In many cases, the color of medium color iolite stones can come very close to the much more expensive tanzanite gem stone. This is the color that is suitable for yellow or white gold iolite gem stone jewelry. The color is visible even in normal light conditions. It is not just good iolite that is required to cut such a gem, expert knowledge of orienting the gem the right way during the cutting process is also vital. All the three iolite stones shown above are cut by some of Thailand’s finest stone cutters.

Moving to the next color shade of iolite is the very deep and saturated color. This gem is not very common, in most cases you will find men requesting for deep color iolite gems in their rings. With this gemstone, color is visible when light of good intensity strikes the gem stone. There is something very mystical about deep colored iolite stones, it seems like you were looking into a deep pit and saw the color at the bottom of the pit. While saying that medium color iolite gemstones are more popularly, it is equally true that an iolite gemstone jewelry buyer who expects deep saturated color will never be satisfied with the more vivid medium color shades.

The bottom stone on the image is a pale to light color iolite stone. Lower in popularity to the dark and medium iolite stones, this stone does has some loyal followers. If you want to combine pink gems with any other stones, this shade of iolite offers an interesting option. However with this light shade of iolite gemstones, a high degree of clarity is desirable. Inclusions or cracks will be clearly visible in gems iolite gems that have a pale color.
