Gorgeous Big Gem Stone Rings In Gold Or Silver

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.

Men’s rings are in general larger than ladies rings, however big rings for ladies need to be more attractive as ladies do spend a while before they can pick a jewel.

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. Aquamarine sets can include matching earrings, pendants and rings. Since the gem stone has a good degree of durability, aquamarine bangles and bracelets are something that you might want to try too.

Kaisilver, the world’s leading online custom jewelry provider has put together an exclusive collection of aquamarine rings. These rings can be seen here http://www.kaisilver.com/mens-aquamarine-ring-man64-ks.htm and each ring is fully custom made. You can ofcourse send in your designs to be custom made too. Since each aquamarine is given complete attention during production, you decide the metal, gem stone size and shape for your aquamarine gem stone ring. The same quality of craftsmanship is provided for the gold or silver aquamarine rings.

All heart pendants symbolize love, but it is not necessary that this love imply matrimonial intentions. Thousands of design themes have been provided for heart pendants, some of these pendants will be priced quite cheap, others are modestly priced and some others are sheer extravagance. You could have a gem stone heart pendant or a plain heart pendant. Some gems can be very expensive and can be found in smaller sizes only, some gems are very affordable and can be cheaper than the cost of silver or gold used to make the gem stone heart pendant. For this reason it is necessary that you review various design, gemstone, metal and dimension options before choosing a gold or sterling silver heart shape pendant. For example, if you are looking for a diamond heart pendant, most jewelers will hit you with a price tag that is over 2,000 U.S$. We are ofcourse not talking about the garbage quality diamonds that most discount houses and tv shops peddle. However, a researched design can allow you to get a strong, good looking and well crafted heart diamond pendant at an affordable price. And what is most important is that the diamonds would be genuine and appear gorgeous to the eyes. The use of gems in heart pendants is not new, by using gem stones in your heart pendant, you can add beauty and meaning to the jewel. For example, an emerald heart pendant can be a birth stone pendant too. A garnet heart pendant can make a gorgeous mothers birth stone jewel for those born in the month of January. A diamond heart pendant can be gifted for an anniversary jewel. When you go for a ready made heart pendant, your options are narrow, you cannot choose dimensions and many jewelers might not even allow you to choose the metal or gold color of your choice. For example, a blue sapphire heart pendant might attract your attention but, you might prefer to get a similar pendant with a blue topaz as you find it much better for your budget. A jeweler selling readymade heart shaped pendants will not entertain such specific requests. Working with a custom jeweler will help you include your preferences in your gold or sterling silver heart pendant. Customization also implies customizing a jewel to a specific price point range, this can sometimes be accomplished by scaling down the dimensions of a jewel. For example, a 4 cm heart shaped pendant with a large gemstone can be made with a smaller gemstone and have a length of around 2cm. Remember that, your jewelry is about you, about your likes and about your finances so make sure that you review and evaluate various options before making a decision. Check a few suggestions for custom heart pendants here, they can be made in gold or sterling silver with your choice of gems.

All jewelry will rely on good design to look good however, there are a few instances where the design is expected to do much more. A good example is a men’s sapphire ring. Sapphires are expensive gems, all mens sapphire ring designs will need to take this into consideration. Trying to make a sapphire mens ring with a design that needs a very large gem stone is not practical. Sapphire prices grow steeply as the size of the gem stone increases. A mens ring with very large gem stone size would not be suitable for a sapphire gem stone ring for men. This is because the ring would be so expensive that most buyers would not be able to buy it. At the same time trying to make a men’s sapphire gold ring with a very small gem stone, might make the ring look delicate and dainty. The design of a mens sapphire gem stone ring will therefore need to make the ring look bold and impressive despite, the gem stone being of a moderate size. The MAN21 is a great example of how a mens sapphire gold ring with a very modest gem stone size (9mm x 7mm oval) can look imposing and impressive. Healthy gold weight allows the gem stone to have a sturdy metal design all around. This ring appears far more expensive than what it’s price tag would suggest. Much of the credit for creating this awesome sapphire men’s ring would go to the design structure of the ring. Ofcourse, it is always true that only a highly skilled craftsmen can translate the imagination of a designer into reality. The 3,500 craftsmen who work on Kaisilver custom made jewelry orders ensure that, the true look and feeling of the jewel as envisioned by our talented designers is conveyed through the jewel to the buyer. Before you decide on which sapphire men’s ring to buy, spend some time reading the complete report that we have compiled for you. The report can be seen here and is meant to educate rather than to convince you to buy.

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. If you were looking for a men’s birth stone ring, a men’s citrine ring would represent the month of November and the zodiac sign scorpio. What is interesting about the citrine gemstone is a the shades of color in which it is available. You could get a very pale yellow citrine gemstone, or choose a deeper shade of yellow with a hint of brown. 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. While citrine mens rings are more commonly worn with white gold, a combination of yellow gold and the yellow color shade of citrine gives an interesting aura to the jewel. Get more details on the Kaisilver MAN04 mens citrine ring at this link, you can also see a few more designs that would be suitable for your citrine mens gemstone ring. http://www.kaisilver.com/male-white-gold-rings.htm

Sapphire diamond wedding bands are very popular options for wedding rings. It is probably the fact that, sapphires and rubies were the first known precious gems that has made sapphire wedding bands very popular. Though sapphires can be found in a few colors like blue, white, green, orange and yellow it is the blue sapphire that has always been the most respected of the sapphires. When you choose a sapphire diamond wedding band you need to know a few things. Sapphires and diamonds themselves are strong and sturdy gems but, the overall design and construction of the ring will also define the how durable your sapphire wedding band is.

We will try to explain the various features of  good sapphire diamond wedding band by using the RG108 white gold sapphire ring as an example. First of all, remember that 14k gold is harder than 18k gold. This would mean that a 14k sapphire wedding band would be stronger than an 18k sapphire wedding band. Many people believe that yellow gold is harder than white gold, this is not true. As long as you compare the same karatage, a yellow or white gold sapphire diamond wedding ring would be equally hard. So make a choice of yellow or white gold sapphire rings based on your preference for gold color.

Now, consider the issue of metal weight. The RG108 Kaisilver sapphire diamond wedding band ring has been upgraded for the weight. The ring is now made with a gold weight that can range from 15 grams to 25 grams. The weight will depend on the ring dimensions and size. The idea is to keep the ring equally strong and durable across all ring sizes and dimensions. You could find a similar looking sapphire diamond wedding band that is made with half this weight. A light weight wedding band would be cheaper but would also have a highly reduced life span. When the dimensions of a ring are maintained but the weight is reduced, a lot of metal is scooped out from inside the band. This reduces the thickness of the gold band and makes it prone to bending and denting. Notice how the sapphires in this wedding ring have been set. The slot that is made to set the saphires needs to have a good thickness, if this is not done the gemstones could loosen and drop off. So when you make a comparison on pricing and appearance, remember to get information regarding the gold weight too. A cheaper sapphire diamond wedding band would soon need repairs and replacement for lost stones. This could be expensive and would surely be a recurring cost for you.

It might not be immediately visible on the RG108 sapphire diamond wedding band image but, the gemstones and diamonds are set only on the front half of the ring. The ring then has a slight taper on the band as it moves behind the finger. This design concept helps maintain a modest price tag for this high end sapphire wedding ring. You can however, request for your diamond sapphire wedding band to be made with gemstones and diamonds all around the band. The ring can also be made with a uniform band width throughout the band. This is the advantage of custom wedding bands as, all specifications and details can be selected according to what you need.

If you are on a limited budget, don’t rush to find a cheap ring. Remember that you will be compromising on longterm durability if you base your buying decision only on price tags. A good option would be to request for the same sapphire wedding band with white sapphires instead of diamonds. White sapphires are natural gems and sapphires come second in hardness to only diamonds. The idea is get durability and quality without relying only on immediate external appearance.

The MAN32 men’s fashion ring from Kaisilver shows the direction in which mens fashion jewelry has moved in the past few years. It is interesting to see how the men’s jewelry market has diversified and developed after, Kaisilver introduced the world’s first collection of high end mens rings a few years ago. The MAN32 ring shows a two tone gold men’s fashion ring with custom get gems. This custom men’s ring can be made with gem stones of your choice and is available in gold or sterling silver. Observe the image carefully and you will see the slight hammered finish that has been provided on either edge of the ring. Custom men’s fashion jewelry opens up a high degree of customization that was earlier believed to be unnecessary in the mens jewelry segment. A few interesting options for this men’s fashion ring would include a reduction in band width, a different selection of gem stones, a choice of sterling silver instead of gold or even a complete change in design.

While it might appear that there is not much difference between custom jewelry for ladies and men, it is really not so. Men’s jewelry needs to give extra emphasis to durability, this is because men take less care of their jewelry as compared to ladies. While durability is achieved by a combination of features, healthy metal weight is the most important of these. This is one of the reasons why silver men’s jewelry is more popular than men’s gold jewelry. High gold prices have pushed up the price tags on most men’s jewelry. Keeping this in mind, Kaisilver today provides high quality men’s fashion jewelry in gold and sterling silver. The design range and gemstone options offered for gold or silver jewelry are the same. The same team of skilled craftsmen work on gold or sterling silver men’s fashion jewelry.  Get to know more about the men’s fashion jewelry at this link: http://www.gemstonejewelry.kaijewels.com/man-fashion-jewelry-kj-01.htm If you are specifically interested in the MAN32 men’s fashion ring, jump straight to this link: http://www.gemstonejewelry.kaijewels.com/man-fashion-ring-kj-01.htm

An example would be where, the buyer gives dimension details like, 10mm x 8mm oval faceted garnet. The jeweler is expected to make a gem stone mounting in gold or silver with these specifications. The buyer receives the gemstone mounting and then visits a local jeweler to have the gemstone set in the gem stone mounting. The jeweler made the mounting without worrying about the depth of the gemstone! The gemstone mounting could therefore be made too deep or too shallow for the gemstone that the buyer owns. This transaction could cause problems for the buyer and the jeweler. The buyer’s local jeweler might not be able to easily fit the gemstone in the mounting. The jeweler would hold his ground and claim that the buyer provided incomplete details. When it comes to individual buyers, it is most likely that the buyer is not an expert in jewelry. Infact this is what every jeweler should expect for single piece jewelry buyers. It would therefore be the duty of the jeweler making the gemstone mounting to request for complete details. In this case, the jeweler could be held responsible for creating the wrong dimensions for the jewelry mounting.

Would the above issue have been better handled from the start if, the jeweler asked the buyer to ship him the actual gemstone when the order was placed? This would be an ideal situation where the jeweler would have complete control over all aspects of the gemstone, the chances of creating a wrong gem stone mounting would be small. However, there are a few facts which need to be understood. There would be multiple shipping charges, for the gemstone and then for the completed gemstone jewel. The buyer and the jeweler would need to agree on who would pay for what before the transaction is finalized. If the buyer was expecting to get a cheap silver gemstone mounting for a cheap gemstone, multiple shipping charges could ruin those expectations.

There is another interesting thing about a jeweler receiving gemstones from the buyer. Let us take a situation where the buyer purchased a fairly expensive ruby from a loose gemstone seller. The buyer was never a gemstone expert and never had the ruby checked and appraised after receiving it. The jeweler received the gemstone, made the gemstone mount, set the gemstone and honestly shipped the ruby ring back to the buyer. All should be fine now as the jeweler actually had the ruby gemstone to work with. The buyer gets the ruby ring and takes it to an expert for evaluation and appraisal. The expert finds that the ruby was infact a fake gemstone or, was worth far less than the buyer had actually paid for it. This is a terrible situation for the buyer and the jeweler who made the gemstone mounting for the ruby. The buyer had never checked the ruby before, therefore had no way of knowing whether the gemstone was a fake right at the start. The suspicion falls on the jeweler who actually did nothing dishonest, he just created a gold gemstone mounting for the ruby and shipped the jewel back to the buyer.

This is not an uncommon situation that occurs when ordering gemstone mountings. Many reputed jewelers do not even accept buyers gemstones for this reason. Buyers on the other feel that jewelers want to sell them the gemstone and the mounting and therefore do not accept their own (buyer’s) gems. It is a never ending story and is unlikely to end amicably. Our suggestion would be to deal with a jeweler in whom you have confidence and faith, it this is not the case then keep looking for other jewelers.

Wholesale gemstone mounting orders are a bit easier to handle. The buyer is not ignorant about various issues involved in gemstone jewelry. The information that the gemstone mounting manufacture receives is more complete. Both the buyer and the jeweler in this case are jewelry professionals, the transaction could be more objectively evaluated and neither would blame the other. This information is provided to help buyers and jewelers understand each other. The idea is not to force you to choose Kaisilver or any other jeweler for your gemstone mounting order. Read the complete report on gem stone mountings at this link: http://www.newsletter.kaijewels.com/gemstone-mountings.htm and also refer to the full Kaisilver jewelry newsletter at this link: http://www.newsletter.kaijewels.com/news007.htm Not many jewelers have the time or inclination to provide such detailed information and guidance, make the best of it. A well informed decision is your best chance of making the right decision.
