The moonstone is a gemstone with a transluscent look. A smooth cabachon cut is the ideal cut for this gemstone. If you are looking for a white moonstone ring make sure that, the gemstone is without cracks and inclusions. A moonstone with cracks is likely to break even under slight physical impact.

There are jewelry designs that use moonstones with faceted cuts. It is better to reserve such cuts for moonstone pendants rather than rings. If you do use a faceted moonstone on the ring, make sure that the gemstone does not protrude too much. A protruding gemstone is more likely to get damaged when it comes in contact with hard objects.

It is true that men’s jewelry is not as popular as lady’s jewelry. This is changing now as men get more concious of what they way are include jewelry into their dress attire. Rings with meaning are more popular among men, wedding rings, birthstone rings, promise rings and even rings like the claddagh ring are worn quite often. Men do not generally select gemstone jewelry based on gemstone color, but prefer quiet colors like deep blue or black. Birthstone men’s rings are an exception as the color will be dictated by the birthstone, color is a secondary issue.

Another noticeable feature of men’s jewelry is the high preference for silver jewelry rather than gold jewelry. There are few reasons for this, the first is that most man jewelry would have large dimensions and would need sufficient metal weight to be made sturdy and strong. This does mean that durable men’s jewelry in gold would carry a stiff price tag. Another reason for the popularity of sterling silver man jewelry is that, silver has a classic look that is neither flashy nor loud.

Though men’s cuff links are not strictly considered as jewels, the evolution in design and concept of man cuff links has brought it within the scope of men’s jewelry. The cuff link could be made to match the shirt, define a profession or personal liking or be gemstone studded.

If you trace the history of man jewelry, you will notice the consistent popularity of man pendants.  Men’s pendants were initially based on tradition and religion. Cross pendants, ankh pendants and the moon and star pendant are classic examples.

Did you hear that a man ruby ring would not look masculine because of the red color? Did you hear that a white gold men’s ruby ring looks delicate and fragile?

The fact is that, the design of your man ruby ring and not the gemstone will decide just how masculine your ruby ring looks. A men’s ruby ring with good dimensions and healthy gold weight will look awesome. If you prefer to stay away from fancy man ruby ring designs, avoid using diamonds or other side gems in your ruby ring.

Remember that rubies and sapphires get more expensive as the size increases. Your man ruby ring would in most cases have a large size ruby gemstone. For this reason, do not insist on a top quality ruby gemstone unless your budget can handle the price tag. At the same time make sure that you get a genuine ruby gemstone and not a lab created or glass filled piece of junk.

Regarding the gold color for your man ruby ring, the choice is yours. The color of the ruby gemstone makes it suitable for white gold or yellow gold. Set in a sturdy and strong mounting, a yellow or white gold men’s ruby ring would look truly impressive and imposing.

 For the choice of gold karatage, a 14k man ruby ring would be stronger than an 18k ruby men’s ring. This is due to the fact that 14k gold is harder than 18k gold. You should also know that both white gold and yellow gold are equally hard as long as the comparison is within the same gold karatage.

Choosing a silver chain involves a few issues that need to be considered. If you are buying a silver chain to be worn without any pendant, then choose a design that is not very simple or very thin. A very thin silver chain with no pendant to wear would move around very easily and become inconvenient to wear.

If your silver chain is to be worn along with a pendant, make sure that the basic style of the chain matches the design of the pendant. For example, a heavy silver chain would overshadow a small and tiny pendant. In the same way, a thin and light weight silver chain would look akward if worn with a big heavy pendant.

Try to avoid silver chains that are plated with gold, rhodium or any other metal. All plating on silver jewelry will wear off with time, the wearing off will not be unifor. This would leave your plated silver chain looking patchy and terrible.
