Turquoise claddagh ring sterling silver or gold


Closely observe the turquoise gemstone in the RG142 turquoise claddagh ring shown in the above image. The heart shaped turquoise gemstone appears to be a clean blue color, you do not see the black patches or black veins that are present in turquoise that is mined. The reason is because the gemstone in this heart turquoise ring is a stabilized turquoise gemstone. The stabilization process is used to enhance the beauty AND durability of the turquoise gemstone. In gemstone terminology, this is referred to as ‘treatment’ of the gemstone. Conventionally all emeralds are treated with oils, aquamarine is heat treated to get a pale blue color, rubies and sapphires are heated to enhance their beauty.

In it’s natural form, turquoise includes black veins and patches of the base rock. These inclusions are an integral part of the gemstone but, also affect the durability of the gemstone. If left untreated, it is likely that the turquoise would split along these veins, the black stone patches could also cause the gemstone to chip. It is also true that a high polish for the turquoise gemstone with these inclusions would not be possible. Stabilized turquoise is treated natural turquoise, the process provides better ‘binding’ for the gemstone. Careful cutting can then be used to take off the portions that are prone to crack or chip.

If you are keen to keep your turquoise heart ring looking good for a long time, a stabilized turquoise gemstone would be a better choice. It might be okay to use a natural untreated turquoise for a pair of earrings or for a pendant, this is because these jewels do not experience the same degree of wear and tear that would be experienced by a turquoise ring. The RG142 shows the historic claddagh ring with a turquoise gemstone in the center. Kaisilver gold and silver claddagh rings are provided with all gemstone options and the stabilized turquoise gemstone is just one of the many options that you can choose from.

Cladaugh moonstone ring in sterling silver or gold


Your cladaugh ring has tremendous meaning and significance. With a very humble beginning that dates back to over 375 years, the addition of a gemstone in your cladaugh ring further enhances the meaning and beauty of this irish ring. Moonstones have been used in jewelry since ancient times, tradition and beliefs have given this gemstone a respected status. A cladaugh moonstone ring could have a white moonstone as shown in the RG174 image, grey moonstones, blue moonstones and even a peach colored moonstone are options. However, most jewelry lovers prefer the white moonstone color when choosing a moonstone cladaugh ring.

The moonstone is not considered to be the main birthstone for any of the calendar months but, it is often used as an alternate birthstone for the month of June. This option for the gemini (zodiac sign) is very useful especially for the cladaugh moonstone ring. This is because the primary birth stone for the month of june is pearl and, the cladaugh ring requires a heart shape that is not possible with a genuine pearl. A moonstone cladaugh ring is therefore a great option for a june birthstone cladaugh ring. Most moonstones are cut in a smooth cut without facets, this is shown in the image of the above Kaisilver cladaugh ring too. However make sure that the moonstone in your ring is not cut too high, this makes the ring prone to damage through frontal impact.

For those of you who are not familiar with the cladaugh ring a brief history is provided here. An Irish slave by the name of Robert Joyce is credited with making the first cladaugh ring. This was more than 375 years ago, Robert a fisherman in the small fishing village named ‘Cladaugh’ was captured by pirates on the high seas and sold as a slave. History records the love, affection and loyalty of this young man for his beloved who remained in the cladaugh village. Enslaved by a wealthy goldsmith, Robert slowly learnt the trade and made this ring for his beloved. His dream was to give his beloved the ring once he was released from slavery. His dream came true and he one day returned to his village as freeman, he gave the ring to his beloved who was anxiously waiting for him. This was the cladaugh ring that later became one of the most meaningful rings in history. The main features of the cladaugh ring include the heart (shows love), the crown (depicts loyalty) and the hands (symbolize friendship).

Diamond wedding band at an affordable price.


Talk to any jeweler and they would tell you that an affordable diamond wedding band would need to greatly compromise on quality. A recent research conducted by specialists from Kaisilver concluded that, a lot more jewelry buyers would buy diamond wedding bands if the price was a bit more modest. The ‘Affordable Diamond Ring’ project conducted by Kaisilver expectedly drew loads of resentment from most of the so called ‘big and reputed’ jewelry houses. But the findings of this research spurred us to work within parameters and create a collection of diamond wedding bands and diamond wedding rings that, were good looking and yet modestly priced. The RG181 shown above is a good example, we provide more details below.

When talking about an affordable diamond wedding band, we need to specifically exclude the dull looking and milky low clarity diamonds. We need to limit ourselves to diamonds that look good to the natural eye. You could pay a fortune and buy a diamond that looks great even under the most expensive microscope used by the GIA but, that is not how most of us would look at a diamond ring that we regularly wear. So you could still get a good looking and longlasting diamond band ring without paying a fortune. Compare this scenario to buying a car, you might not be able to afford the latest model from Mercedes Benz but that would not stop you from buying any other car.

A diamond represents something that is for every, a diamond wedding band would symbolize a marriage that lasts forever through good times and bad. Over spending on an extravagant diamond wedding ring that you cannot afford comfortably will in no way enhance the meaning or durability of a marriage. You might notice hollywood marriages that were solemnized with exotic and rare diamond rings, but the marriages soon crumble with no reason or rhyme. The way to stay within your budget is to find a reputed custom jeweler who is willing, to make a diamond wedding band specifically for you and your budget. Most jewelers appear to be too busy to work on lower priced diamond rings but, the truth is that they just don’t have the production facilities and diamond quality ranges to work with.

When deciding on a diamond wedding band concentrate first on the designs that interest you. This is the most important feature as far as getting satisfaction from your wedding band is concerned. Having done this, check whether it is necessary to reduce the overall dimensions of the diamond wedding band design. Remember to retain the overall design and proportions for your wedding band design. Next, work on diamond sizes that could be within your budget, consider diamonds that are natural and look good to the eye. Now discuss pricing options based on ring size and diamond size/quality with your jeweler. Do not compromise on gold weight, the durability of your custom made diamond wedding band will be as important as the external appearance. The choice of 14k or 18k diamond wedding bands or a yellow or white gold diamond wedding band can be based on your personal preference.

Kaisilver custom aquamarine engagement ring. Custom made as a yellow or white gold aquamarine diamond ring.


You could love an aquamarine diamond ring for many reasons, the graceful pale gemstone has remained popular among jewelry designers and jewelry lovers for many decades. Though the gemstone in your diamond aquamarine ring would most probably be a pale and clear gemstone the fact is that, most aquamarines start their life being a pale greenish-blue when mined. It is an intricate heating process that removes the green tint of the aquamarine gem stone. The most impressive thing about the aquamarine is it’s durability, this despite being a close relative of another beryl which is the emerald. The fact that your aquamarine ring needs no special attention, when being worn or cleaned would make you feel very comfortable. The trend towards choosing a birthstone engagement ring has been picking up since the late 1980’s. If you are keen on using your birth stone in your engagement ring, you should know that aquamarine is the birthstone for the month of march.

Talking more specifically about the RG125u aquamarine diamond engagement ring, the researched design provides the same emphasis to external appearance and longterm durability. Despite the impressive hardness of this march birthstone, our experts have provides a sturdy protective mounting. Notice how the sharp corners of the center aquamarine gem have been covered with ‘V’ prongs. This ensures that the corners would not chip off by physical impact. The rest of the gemstone mounting is geared to allow, maximum exposure of the gorgeous hand picked and custom cut aquamarine gemstone. Your aquamarine engagement ring need not necessarily have the diamonds on either side of the center gemstone. Complete customization ensures that, you can choose just about any gemstone that you prefer for the side gems. Aquamarine looks great along with a host of other gemstones. Pink tourmaline, swiss blue topaz, amethyst, blue sapphires and even iolite would look great for the side gems.

Your aquamarine diamond engagement ring from Kaisilver comes with an upgraded gold weight. We have increased the strength of the ring without altering the sleek external appearance. This is done by drastically reducing the amount of gold that is scooped from inside the band. While many jewelers might not inform you, it is important to know that excessive scooping of a jewel decreases the gold thickness and life of any jewel. The engagement aquamarine is shown here in yellow gold but, you also have the option to choose a white gold aquamarine diamond engagement ring.
