Big rings are favorites among the bold and the beautiful. However, there is something about large rings that need special attention. Big gold or silver rings have large dimensions and this needs good support from metal weight. Trying to create a big ring with insufficient metal weight can make the ring prone to denting and bending. In the case of big gem stone rings, low metal weight will also mean loose gem stone mounting. It is quite likely that the gem stone in your big ring is more expensive than the metal cost, losing a gem stone can result in expensive repair charges. Though most jewelers do not wish to make custom jewelry in sterling silver, it is technically possible to have a custom big ring made in silver or gold. If you need a good quality big ring that will be long lasting, metal weight will add to the price tag.

Aquamarine, The Serene Blue Of The March Birth Stone

While it is true that aquamarine is the birth stone for the month of march, the truth is that the huge popularity of aquamarine rings suggests that jewelry lovers adore this gemstone for many more reasons. Aquamarine belongs to the beryl family, this family includes some gem stones that are considered to be the pillars of the jewelry industry. Emeralds and Morganite are also members of the esteemed beryl family of gems. If you had to compare an emerald ring and an aquamarine ring, the aquamarine gemstone would be far more durable and have a higher degree of transparency as compared to the emerald. Many jewelry lovers consider the pale blue shade of aquamarine gems to be the perfect choice for classic jewelry. The fact that the blue of aquamarine is neither loud nor bright, makes it suitable for ladies and men’s aquamarine rings. If you observe the image above, you will notice that the men’s aquamarine rings almost always, require the gem stone to be quite large. While aquamarine is not a very abundantly available gem and neither is it very cheap, you can still get an eye clean gem stone for your gold or silver aquamarine ring. However, don’t look for deep blue colors for this march birth stone, aquamarine when mined is a pale greenish blue in color. Gem stone producers heat the gem stone to take off the traces of green. This leaves the pure, pale and innocent blue on the gem stone.

If you are particular about a more prominent blue shade for your aquamarine ring but, do not have any particular preference for it being an aquamarine, some options come to mind. Pale blue topaz also referred to as sky blue topaz can appear very similar to aquamarine. Blue topaz is cheaper than aquamarine and can also be found in very large sizes. Many jewelers push sky blue topaz as ‘aquamarine topaz’, this is a cheap gimmick so don’t fall for it. If you need the blue color of aquamarine but would like to have some more sparkle in the gem stone, give a good look to blue zircon. A shade of zircon can be found that comes close to the color of aquamarine. When you shop for your aquamarine ring, discuss your requirements with your jewelry. There is no problem in buying a sky blue topaz or blue zircon ring but, make sure that your jeweler tells you what stone is being used for your ring.

Aquamarine rings are worn for casual wear but, are also cherished for special occassion jewels. An aquamarine engagement ring has always been a favorite among young couples seeking to tie the marriage knot. Such aquamarine gold rings might include diamonds and have intricate designs and styles. While aquamarines are often compared to gems like tanzanite, rubies and sapphires, the price of this gem stone is far more modest as compared to the other gems.

Since the color of citrine is not a bright yellow, men’s citrine rings are quite popular. Many men do not like their rings to look flashy, a citrine men’s ring can look stylish and impressive without looking flashy.

A portugese wine has given a particular shade of citrine a name, this color shade of citrine is named ‘madeira’ which is also the name of the portugese wine. While many gems are named after the country or location in which they were mined, few gems are named after their founder. Madeira citrine is unique as it is named after a wine that it resembles (color).

There is a general belief when it comes to jewelry that, cheaper gems should be reserved for silver jewelry and the more expensive gems would best be set in gold. Despite the gorgeous looks of a citrine gemstone, it is very attractively priced. You will therefore notice that mens citrine rings are popular in gold and sterling silver. Like always, we would recommend that a men’s sterling silver citrine ring not be plated with rhodium, gold or any ther metal. This is because all plating on silver jewelry is temporary and will soon wear off. So if you are thinking of a silver men’s citrine gem stone ring, you will need to consider the fact that all silver jewelry will tarnish. Fortunately, unplated silver jewelry is easy to clean for tarnish. Add to this the fact that citrine gems will not be affected by recommended polishing solutions of fabrics,  and you need not need to worry about your citrine silver ring tarnishing.

If you were thinking of a gold citrine men’s ring, you will need to choose from white gold or yellow gold.

The MAN21 shows an awesome men’s sapphire ring, but this ring is designed with more than just good looks in mind. Most men would make a buying decision based on the price tag and the external appearance of a sapphire mens ring. There is nothing wrong in this but, the longterm durability of your mens sapphire ring will depend on a few other factors too. With a hardness grading of 9, the sapphire is a strong gemstone. Among the gems conventionally used in jewelry, only diamonds have a hardness that goes beyond 9. But a bad design, low weight or substandard craftsmanship can drastically reduce the life span of your men’s sapphire ring. We discuss these issues in the report presented below.

Design: The design of a mens sapphire gemstone ring will need to provide a firm and rigid mounting for the gemstone. The sapphire in the MAN21 mens ring is bordered all around with gold. This protects the sapphire gemstone from side impact. Using prongs might save you some gold but, prongs tend to loosen up after getting caught in pockets and other fabric. A design that causes the gemstone to protrude too much beyond the mounting, is also not good for a mens sapphire ring.

Gemstone: The most common color for the sapphire in mens rings is blue. However, yellow and green sapphires can also be used in mens jewelry. More importantly, make sure that you get a natural gemstone in your sapphire mens ring. Manmade sapphires might be cheaper than natural gems and might appear more flashy too, but if you are looking for a natural sapphire for your mens sapphire ring, make sure that you get one.

Weight: Light weight jewels cannot be sturdy, this is especially true for mens jewelry. A light sapphire ring might be cheaper but it is bound to deform or dent easily. A firm gemstone mounting requires healthy metal weight. A flimsy gemstone mouting can cause the sapphire to loosen and drop off. It is quite likely that the sapphire in your ring is worth more than the gold, sapphires are not cheap.

Gemstone grade: Sapphires are available in different grades. Color, clarity, size and shape together determine the price of a sapphire gemstone. Work within your budget when choosing the gemstone for your sapphire mens ring. There really is no need to go for high quality sapphires unless you can really afford it. Also remember that square sapphires that are larger than 5mm tend to be rare and expensive. This is because the square shape results in a lot of weight loss during cutting.

It is unlikely that any buyer would understand all the technical details of a sapphire mens ring. In these circumstances, it is important for you to select the right jeweler when buying a mens sapphire ring. Spend time evaluating various options and settle for a jeweler, who is willing to provide useful information and guidance. The MAN21 Kaisilver sapphire ring is a good starting point, read the details of this ring at: http://www.kaisilver.com/gents-ring.htm More suggestions for men’s sapphire rings can be found at this link: http://www.kaisilver.com/man-sapphire-rings.htm We do not try to sell you a mens sapphire ring, the idea is to equip you with the information needed to make the right choice.
