Heart Turquoise Ring, Why Use Stabilized Turquoise In Your Ring

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.

Moonstone Ring, Cladaugh Moonstone Ring A Great Choice

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).

Kaisilver is credited with making the world’s best rendition of the cladaugh ring. These rings retain all the features of the cladaugh ring that was first made many centuries ago.
