Big Blue Sapphire Gem Stone, Large Sapphires

The size of this blue sapphire gem is an oval 9mm x 7mm. You might wonder whether this large blue sapphire gemstone can be called ‘large’. Before going into discussions you must know what actually constitutes a big gemstone. The gem type and quality surely play a role in defining a gem as a large or small size. For example when it comes to an amethyst a big gem would be around 10 to 15 carats but, move to blue topaz and you could push a 30 to 40 carat gem stone as a big gem.

In the case of rubies, sapphires, emeralds, tanzanite the category of large gems cannot be more than 2 .5 to 4 carats. Besides weight, you will also need to consider the quality of the gemstone. A low grade blue sapphire with little transparency and a dark (almost black color) can be found in sizes of 6 to 7 carats. But comparing this sapphire quality with what you see in BSN-50 is a waste of time. The gemstone shown above has been handpicked and custom cut by Thailand’s finest gem cutters. It is perfectly suited for a highend mens sapphire gem stone ring.

You can see full details of this large sapphire gemstone at http://www.sapphire.directstones.com/sapphire-gemstone-ds-01.htm While it is possible to buy just the loose gem, the fact that Directstones is managed by the leading custom jewelry provider Kaisilver means that, you can also choose to order a complete sapphire ring with this gemstone. While this sapphire gem is in the 2,750 U.S$ to 3,500 U.S$ price range, you have other options that might interest you. The diffused star sapphires shown on the same page are affordable even in sizes that are 4 to 6 carats.

Mens Wedding Band, Working Within A Budget

Working Within Your Budget For A Mens Wedding Band Ring

Working Within Your Budget For A Mens Wedding Band Ring

None of us have an unlimited budget for a mens wedding band or any other purchase for that matter. When it comes to jewelry, jewelers are keen to sell an expensive ring and make a neat margin from every sale. From the viewpoint of the buyer this is sad because, all options for a mens wedding band ring are never explained to him. For example, let us presume that you needed a mens wedding band ring with a deep blue gem stone. A query to any jeweler would come up with a suggestion for a blue sapphire gemstone. There is nothing wrong with this suggestion except that, no effort was made to make a suggestion that was within your budget. London Blue Topaz and blue lapis could have been more affordable options for you.

Similarly if you wanted a mens wedding band with a 10mm band width and needed a ring size of 11, a gold ring would be in the price range of around 1,200 U.S$ assuming a good metal weight of around 20 to 25 grams. It is quite possible that all you were particular about was the band width. You would perhaps be equally happy with a gold or sterling silver wedding band that had that band width. If you had to get a ring that is customized to your budget, you would need to find a reputed custom jewelry provider who would welcome gold or sterling silver jewelry orders.

Have a look at the Kaisilver collection of mens wedding bands and work on your imagination. Then start finding a suitable custom made jewelry provider, this need not necessarily be Kaisilver. Our intense dedication to quality standards does not allow us to produce an unlimited quantity of custom made jewelry. You might therefore have to look for other jewelers too. But rest assured that, no other jewelers will provide the kind of detailed and honest information that we do. The collection can be seen here http://www.kaisilver.com/wedding-band-set-all-ks-01.htm

The RG234 Is A Custom Made Band Ring

Plain Wedding Bands, Silver Or Gold Wedding Band

The RG234 is an impressive wedding band ring. The design goes to prove that a simple plain wedding band can be designed and produced to look good. The etching that you see around the band of this plain silver wedding band is an ivy creeper. The complete customization offered by Kaisilver, allows you to choose the type of etching that you need for your plain wedding band ring. Plain wedding bands have many advantages and this design adds a new dimension to such rings.

The design for your plain silver or gold wedding band can have any type of design or text etched on the band. The absence of gems or diamonds in this ring also means that you get a ring with good metal value, you need not allocate budget gems or diamonds. You will also notice the lack of scooping inside the band of this classic ring. This gives a smooth finish inside the band and also makes the ring more comfortable to wear.

You can ofcourse choose gold or sterling silver for your plain wedding band. Coming to gold, we would suggest 14k white or yellow gold. This is because 18k gold is a bit softer as compared to 14k gold. When it comes to a silver plain wedding band, it is recommended that you avoid any plating on the ring. Plated silver wedding bands might nook great when you buy them. But after a while, the plating will come off the jewel and this could make the ring appear quite shabby.
