Do Men Wear Pink Gemstone Rings?

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

Most of the people who ask this question would have a doubt about the suitability of pink gemstones for men’s rings. While pink gem stone men’s rings are not common, there are some interesting options for such men’s rings. When you talk about a pink gemstone you could refer to a pure pink gemstone, a deep pink gemstone that comes close to a purple or a deep pink gemstone with a  brownish hue. Let us discuss few options for these pink gemstones.

Pure pink gems:  If you wish to have a men’s pink gem stone ring with a pure pink gem stone, your options would be a pink topaz, pink sapphire or even a pink tourmaline with no other color hues. Of these gems, most pink topaz is today nothing more than, white topaz that has been coated pink special process. Pink sapphires can be pure pink too, they are ofcourse very hard like all sapphires, this would also be a gemstone that is not very cheap. Pink tourmaline is a gemstone that can be found in a few color hues, pure pink is one such color. Unlike pink topaz which is mostly color treated, pink tourmaline is a natural gemstone.

Deep pink gems:  Men’s pink gemstone rings in this group could include very deep pink tourmaline, or even purple sapphire. Pink tourmaline can be found in a deep pink color tone with a brownish tinge. Most men would find these to be a good choice for their rings, the color is not bright. One shade of pink tourmaline can get very pink with visible red hues, this gemstone is referred to as a rubelite.

Gold color: If you choose to wear a men’s pink gem stone ring, it would mean that you like pink gems. If this is the case, wear your ring with pride and do not worry about beliefs and conventions. In general, a white gold men’s ring with a pink gemstone would show the gemstone color more prominently as compared to, a pink gemstone men’s ring in yellow gold. If you are on a limited budget, you could also consider going for a sterling silver men’s pink gem stone ring.

Men’s Silver Ring, Why Choose A Sterling Silver Men’s Ring

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

Men's sterling silver rings

The fact that silver jewelry has a large and loyal following is just one of the reasons that, makes a men’s sterling silver ring a great choice. You will notice that most men’s rings are made in large sizes and dimensions, this needs sufficient metal weight to ensure durability in the long term. Gold is a good choice if you have a substantial budget, for the rest of us a sterling silver men’s ring is an excellent option. If you choose a gem stone men’s ring, your budget will need to cover good metal weight and the gem stone cost too.

Making a gold men’s ring with low metal weight can ruin the ring. Many jewelers do this to flaunt friendly price tags and gain market share. You might also find that your jeweler is really not interested in making a single piece men’s silver ring for you. Despite this, we would suggest that a limited budget is more suited for a good quality, well crafted and sturdy men’s sterling silver ring.

Remember that a silver men’s ring need not be only for casual wear, you could order a men’s silver birth stone ring, a silver wedding men’s ring, an engagement men’s ring in sterling silver or even a silver promise ring for a man. The gem stone in your men’s silver ring can be a birth stone or just any other gem stone that you like. The MH-01 silver man ring shown above has an interesting design concept. Such exclusive men’s silver rings do not need any gem stone, and can include figures, symbols, dates, etchings or even the initials of the man wearing the silver ring.

Garnet, The Favourite Antique Jewelry Gemstone

Antique garnet ring design

The red garnet has been one of the most popular gemstones used in antique jewelry. This January birth stone has a classic and yet modest look that has impressed jewelry lovers of all ages, nationalities and personalities. One of the reason for the popularity of garnet gemstone antique jewelry is the fact that, hundreds of years ago, almost any red gemstone was considered to be a ruby. This is similar to the ancient belief that every green gemstone was an emerald! The development of gemological sciencies has helped clarify many of these wrong notions but, the popularity of the garnet gem stone has never abated.

For one thing, red garnet is not a bright and garish red, it is therefore suitable for ladies and men. While intense mining has made larger red garnets scarce (above 3 carats is considered to be a large size), the gemstone is still modestly priced. This makes it a good choice for a good quality gold or silver garnet ring. High gold prices have sent jewelry lovers looking for options, sterling silver is now gaining popularity. When it comes to an antique sterling silver ring design few gem stones can do better justice than, a good quality deep red garnet. A slight tarnish that naturally occurs on all silver jewelry, actually enhances the classic feel and look of an antique red garnet jewel.
