Custom Pink Sapphire Rings. Balancing Gem Quality And Size.

When it comes to large gems like sapphires or even diamonds, most jewelry buyers would want a stone that is as large as possible. But since most of work under the framework of fixed budgets, we really cannot dream of getting a custom ring with a huge pink sapphire gem stone. This is because the price of a large natural pink sapphire would be very high. If you stretched your budget to the limits you might get a gem that looks large but, you need to pay attention to the quality of the gem too. Let us take the RG233 Kaisilver white gold pink sapphire ring as an example. The size of the gemstone in this ring has been kept at 5mm to 6mm. You could get a similar ring with a gem that could probably measure 7mm too. But the quality of the larger pink sapphire would be lower as compared to the quality that, a 5mm-6mm square pink sapphire would get you for the same price.

Balancing the size and quality of expensive gems like sapphires requires expert skills. If at all any final compromise is made on gem size or quality, it should not be apparent to everyone who looks at the jewel. The RG233 is made with a good quality pink sapphire, the gem has good color and transparency. The durability of sapphires makes the ring suitable for casual wear. It is also perfectly suited to become a special occassion ring like a wedding or engagement ring. Good metal weight makes this seemingly sleek and delicate ring sturdy and even more comfortable to wear. Gold scooping inside the band has been avoided and this helps fortify the ring elminating twisting and bending of the jewel. This is something that you will appreciate in the long run as you save on frequent and expensive repairs.

Blue Lapis Rings, Mens Lapis Gem Stone Ring

Blue lapis is a gem that has been known and mined for around 6,000 years now. A blue lapis ring needs to consider the fact that the gem stone is not very hard. The MAN66 shows a blue lapis gold mens ring that is designed keeping the properties of the gem in mind. The gem stone in this lapis ring does not protrude too much out of the mounting. This reduces the chances of the stone hitting against hard surfaces including walls and tables. The good metal weight and researched design of this Kaisilver lapis ring also allows the entire border of the gemstone to be covered with metal. This keeps the edges away from side impact.

Since this is a fully custom made blue lapis lazuli ring, you can choose gold or sterling silver as your metal choice. The image shows the ring with a texture that has ripples (ridges). Your gold or sterling silver lapis ring can have a band that is smooth without any texture. When you insist on a blue lapis ring with a gem stone that is dark blue with no spots, keep in mind that you will get a lapis stone that is dyed blue. Lapis is infact a combination of lazurite, calcite and pyrite. The whitish color in lapis is due to calcite and the shining spots that you notice on the gem stone are pyrite. In it’s natural form blue lapis is never found in a pitch blue color without any spots or patches.

A pair of wedding bands is a great way to add meaning to any wedding band. The design and style of a wedding band pair should be similar for the husband and wife. This obviously means that the design should be suitable for ladies and men. It is not uncommon for men to avoid expensive and flashy jewels, while the opposite is true for most ladies. The cost factor also needs to be considered when choosing a pair of wedding rings. You can expect the men’s wedding ring to have fairly large dimensions. If your wedding band pair had a gem stone or diamond, the price component of the gem or diamond could be quite high. This would ofcourse depend on the gemstone that you choose. The RG230 shows a good option for a pair of wedding band rings. This ring is a plain white gold wedding band with no gem stone or diamond. By including a smooth high polish and a slightly rough finish, the ring is given an interesting appearance even without gems or diamonds. Such rings would ofcourse be priced lower than gem stone or diamond wedding bands.

Before you actually decide on which wedding band pair to buy, evaluate a few features. The men’s wedding band would be wider than the lady’s wedding band. While durability is important for all jewels, there is a greater need for longterm durability when it comes to men’s jewelry. Make sure that the wedding band rings are supported with good metal weight. High gold prices has encouraged many jewelers to make light weight jewels. Unfortunately such wedding bands will dent and bend easily and involve frequent repair expenses. Custom wedding bands will give you better control over all features and are highly recommended. Since all custom made jewelry will involve the full production process, make sure that you start looking for your rings well in time.

If you are thinking of a pair of wedding bands with gem stones, it might be a good idea to include your birth stone in the ring. The practice of exchanging birth stones is also gaining popularity. Married couples believe that exchanging birthstones in wedding band rings creates a strong bond between husband and life.

Ruby Ring, What You Should Know

The RU-01 custom ruby ring has a design that has been researched by a team of Kaisilver designers and jewelry experts. This ring takes the physical properties of the gemstone in designing the ring. The unique intricate design on either side of the center ruby gem stone provides more benefits than just good looks. Firstly, by using this unique design we have managed to make it unecessary to use expensive diamonds to highlight the center ruby gemstone. When you wear this custom made ruby ring, a portion of the finger skin is seen through the artistic cut out on either side of the ring. This obviously means that the price tag on this yellow or white gold ruby ring will not be loaded with the cost of diamonds. An often heard problem among jewelry lovers is the problem related to excessive finger sweating and even swollen fingers when wearing rings. While such conditions need medical attention there are some simple causes for this condition too. In cases where chronic finger sweating is experienced, wearing a fully closed band can trap the sweat inside the finger and eventually lead to swollen fingers. The design of this ruby gold ring with the cut out design on the band can help to relieve this condition to some extent. The fact that the skin below can breathe freely means ensures that sweat does not remain trapped under the ring. The true advantage of custom rings can be seen in the design options of this ruby gold ring. You can choose the dimensions of ruby based on on your budget. For the oval ruby ring you have a choice of two ruby sizes, 8x6mm oval and 9x7mm oval. You could infact order your custom made ruby gem stone ring with a round ruby gem stone too. We understand that sufficient metal weight is required to add longterm durability to jewelry. The ruby ring shown above has a  minimum metal weight of around 10 grams. Your ring will have a weight that is proportionate to the ring size, ensuring that the shape and condition of your ring is retained for many years to come.

Custom Mens Wedding Rings, Why Choose Sterling Silver

It is true that a significant number of men do not wear jewelry. Men’s rings are gaining in popularity but still fall short of the number of ladies rings sold each year. However when it comes to a men’s wedding ring, it is more than just a mens ring. A wedding ring symbolizes a marriage, a lifelong commitment between two individuals. While the debates regarding whether, men should wear wedding rings still rages on, our humble opinion is that a married man should wear a wedding ring as long as his wife wears one. There is no reason why any less importance should be attached to a men’s wedding ring. There are a few issues regarding wedding rings that are specific to men’s wedding rings and this is what we would like to discuss here.

Cost Factor: Firstly, mens wedding rings can be substantially more expensive as compared to ladies wedding rings. This is because mens rings are generally large in dimensions, the ring size can also be expected to be quite big. If you were looking for a durable men’s wedding ring, sufficient metal weight would be the most basic requirement. Looking for gold as a a metal option would give the ring a hefty price tag and put the ring out of the reach of many of us. A sterling silver men’s wedding ring is therefore a better choice in such cases. If you were considering getting a gemstone mens wedding ring, the issue of dimensions and pricing comes up again. A large ring would have a fairly large gem stone and most natural gems get to be quite expensive as the size of the gem stone increases. The metal and gem stone would be major cost components of such a mens wedding ring. Keeping this in mind, a silver mens wedding ring with a gem stone will allow more budget to be allocated for the gem stone. This is because the reasonable price of silver will not put too much pressure on the price tag.

Quiet and Reliable: Many men do not like their jewelry to be bright and flashy. A silver wedding ring for men perfectly suits their need. Silver has an appearance that is calm, composed and reliable, it is also not flashy. You might have heard of the statement …… the extravagance of gold and the confidence of silver. The reliability of silver wedding rings come from another factor too and that is durability. Good metal weight ensures that the ring is sturdy and the gemstone (if any) firmly mounted. So not all men wear silver wedding rings only because they are more affordable. The classic feeling and appearance of silver jewelry has earned it many loyal followers too.

Custom Rings: You might find readymade mens silver rings that look fine for a wedding ring but, this should not be your choice. Readymade rings are mass produced with little scope for customization or skilled craftsmanship. A men’s silver wedding ring is a special occassion ring and should be treated as such. You would want your wedding ring to be strong and longlasting, it should also incorporate your preferences into the ring. A custom made silver wedding ring can include your preference of design, gemstone and dimensions too. Further, the custom jewel need not please mass markets with low price tags. The jeweler can therefore concentrate on providing you the best ring with good metal weight and dimensions that suit your ring size. Since a single jewel will not have mass production processes, individual attention to all details can be provided by expert craftsmen. Such jewelry should be produced with handpicked and custom cut gems.

The above information is compiled by Kaisilver, the idea is to let you know your options and guide you to make the right decision. Most jewelers would not care or dare to tell you that a silver ring is better for your requirements. Gold rings would give the jeweler more profit margin and this would take importance over buyer interest. At Kaisilver, we are on your side. Check out some silver wedding ring ideas for men at this link: http://www.man-wedding-ring.com/sterling-silver-mens-wedding-ring-mwr-01.htm You can make your purchase from any jeweler who makes you feel comfortable but, this information is hard to find so give it a look.

It is generally believed that big rings are suitable only for men. While it is true that most men’s rings would be large, there is a well developed base for ladies big rings too. The number of buyers who buy big gold rings is not very high, one reason for this is the high price of gold. Many ladies wear large gem stone rings because of their beauty and boldness. It is generally believed that people who wear large jewelry have a more confident state of mind. If you would like to wear a big ring there are some things that you should know. As we all know, large rings need higher metal weight. If metal weight is compromised to save cost, the ring is liable to dent and bend. This can sometimes cause the gem stone to loosen and drop off the mounting. So if you think that light weight big rings are cheap, don’t forget the multiple repair and replacement costs that you will need to add to the original price. The above image shows a few big rings from the Kaisilver collection. Though these rings have been made in gold, it is possible to custom make similar big rings in sterling silver too. A big silver ring would obviously be cheaper than a similar ring made in gold. When looking for large gold rings, you should know that a 14k big ring would be harder than a similar gold ring made in 18k gold. This means that a 14k gold ring would be harder and stronger as compared to an 18k gold ring. When it comes to choosing a yellow or white gold big ring, the gold color can be based on your personal preference. The common belief that a big yellow gold ring would be harder and stronger as compared to a similar ring in white gold is wrong. If you compared the hardness of white and yellow gold with the same karatage, both colors have the same hardness and strength.

If you are thinking of getting a large gem stone ring, discuss the gem stone with your jeweler. Certain gems can be very expensive as the size of the gem increases. Also, the definition of a big gem stone would depend on the gem stone that you are referring to. If you are thinking of a big sapphire ring or a big ruby ring, a gem stone that is around 3 to 4 carats would be considered as ‘big’. However, for a big topaz ring or a big amethyst ring, gem stone sizes of 10 carats might not be too large. The pricing of the gem stone should therefore be kept in mind when choosing a design for your large gem stone ring.

You can see an exclusive collection of big rings at this link: http://www.jewelry.kaijewels.com/big-rings.htm The collection will give you an insight into how big rings are designed and produced. You can also get your custom big ring made with the design and gem stone of your size. Kaisilver is one of the very few jewelers to provide gold and sterling silver jewelry with the same choice of gems and good craftsmanship.

The RG108 sapphire and diamond wedding band has been one of the best selling sapphire wedding bands over he past few years. The Kaisilver designing team recently announced a major upgrade to this sapphire ring. The upgrade related to the weight of the sapphire diamond ring, this was done without changing the external appearance of the sapphire ring. This move did show on the price tag and few buyers did decide to go for cheaper options but, the overall longterm benefit to buyers cannot be denied. The same ring now weighs around 15 to 25 grams and since this is a custom made sapphire diamond wedding band, the weight of the ring will in each case be based on the ring size and dimensions.

The increase in durability of the sapphire diamond ring is achieved by increasing the thickness of the gold. Most jewelers do heavy scooping of gold inside the wedding band and this decreases the thickness of the metal. Such a light weight sapphire diamond wedding band could dent or bend easily. This can also lead to the gemstones and diamonds becoming loose and dropping off. A light weight ring would be cheaper but, would gradually incur recurring expenses for repairs and maintanence. This is something that the Kaisilver team has made great efforts to explain, the idea is to provide buyers with a sapphire wedding ring that stays in shape for a long time. External design consultants pointed out that the benefits of a good metal weight were undeniable and had a suggestion for buyers. It is a good idea to choose white sapphires instead of diamonds. Sapphires are natural and come second in hardness to only diamonds. You would therefore get a modestly priced sapphire wedding band with white and blue sapphires without compromising on longterm durability.

The MAN32 men’s fashion ring represents a new revolution in men’s fashion jewelry.

Buyers provide information of the gemstone to the jeweler, lack of knowledge of gemstone and jewelry production can cause the information to be incomplete. If the jeweler prepares a gold or silver gemstone mounting based on this incomplete information, problems could arise. If you would like to have a custom ring mounting made and have your own gemstone set in the ring, remember a few things. Every gemstone has a depth, when you say that you have an 8mm round citrine, you have not detailed the depth of the gemstone. In this case your gem stone mounting could be too deep or too shallow for your gemstone. Ideally, the jeweler should make sure that complete information has been provided by the buyer.

Another issue is regarding the cut of the gemstone. Most jewelers assume that the gemstone is a normal faceted cut. If you wish to make a gemstone mounting for a ring with a 10x8mm oval citrine, the jeweler would create the gem stone mounting presuming that the gemstone was a faceted cut. If it turns out that your citrine was cabachon (smooth) cut and not faceted, the custom gemstone ring mounting might not be able to accomodate the gemstone. Make sure that you inform the jeweler regarding the type of cut too.

If you think that sending the gemstone across to the jeweler would work better, you might be right. The jeweler is more likely to create a perfect gem stone mounting for the gem stone. But, many jewelers are worried about receiving gem stones from buyers. The reason is a bit complicated but it is necessary that you understand the view point of the jeweller. The jeweler is worried that he could be accused of changing the gemstone by replacing it with a fake gem stone or with a gem stone of lower value. There have been cases where buyers have innocently purchased loose gemstones and paid high prices for them. The gemstone seller ships a fake gemstone to the buyer, the buyer does not do a professional check on the gemstone and presumes that it is the right gemstone that was purchased. On receiving the gemstone mounting or ready ring, the buyer gets it professionally evaluated and checked. The gemstone then turns out to be a fake and the buyer blames the jeweler for switching the gemstone!!!.

If you were interested in a silver ring for it’s true beauty and grace, it is unlikely that a mass produced silver ring would interest you. A custom silver ring would provide you with a good degree of customization and flexibility. You could choose the design and dimensions of your custom silver ring, the gemstones to be selected could also be based on your preference. Most silver jewelry is today made to please mass markets, compromise on metal weight and gemstone quality is required to flaunt cheap price tags. It is for this reason why true silver jewelry lovers prefer to have custom silver jewelry made according to their specifications.

While we have mentioned above that it is technically possible to create a good quality custom made silver ring, there is an important issue that needs to be understood. You cannot expect to get a single piece custom silver jewel at the price that mass produced low quality silver jewels are produced. Making a silver ring requires overheads for design production, moulding and even craftsmanship. These overheads are born by the single silver ring and will weigh on the price tag. Mass produced goods do not need much of skilled craftsmanship, the initial design and moulding overheads are shared between the large volume of production. You will ofcourse be compromising on quality and flexibility when buying a ready made silver ring. In the end, the true worth of a custom made silver ring or other silver jewel will be known only by true silver jewelry lovers. If you are not very particular about quality and other features of your silver ring, shop for a ready made silver ring instead.
