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

When buyers refer to gem stone mountings, it generally means that the buyer has one or more gem stones that need to be mounted in a gold or sterling silver mounting. Requirements for gold or silver gemstone mountings can be for single piece orders or could be for wholesale gemstone mounting orders. The issue gets a little complicated when the buyer has a specific gem stone that needs to be mounted AND the jeweler making the mounting cannot physically see the gemstone that is to be mounted.

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.

A well informed decision is your best chance of making the right decision.

Corporate gifts are given for various reasons. Corporate cufflinks make good gifts for both internal and external gifting. Your budget for corporate cufflinks would depend on the occassion and the persons to whom they are being gifted. For example corporate cufflinks given to best performing employees could be priced at around 200 U.S$ to 500 U.S$ per pair. Such cufflinks will not be many in number and the total financial expense will not be too much.

Corporate cufflinks could also be gifted to the company’s customers or vendors. Such corporate gifts could be given for example, to bank customers who open new bank accounts. An automobile showroom could gift corporate cuffliks to all it’s customers. In this case, you could expect that a large number of corporate cuff links would be required. Such cufflinks are purchased in large quantities, the company gets the benefit of volume pricing and the factory manufacturing the cufflinks gets the benefit of large scale production too. Such corporate cufflinks would ideally not contain any gems and would include only, the logo or main initials of the company. Such corporate cufflinks could be made in silver and probably plated with white or yellow gold. You could get such cufflinks at around 30-50 U.S$ a pair assuming that, the order for the corporate cufflinks would include around 200 pairs.

The CUFF-02 Kaisilver cufflinks is a good example to understand and study pricing. If you had to order a single pair of these custom cufflinks in sterling silver, you would pay around 300 U.S$ to 350 U.S$ for them. On the other hand, order around a dozen pairs and the price would drop to just 100 U.S$ per pair.

Kaisilver can provide you with all types of corporate cufflinks. Large volumes silver cufflinks in quantities of 100 pairs and above, can be made for around  30 U.S$ to 50 U.S$ per pair.
