Mens Sterling Silver Claddagh Ring, The Tarnish Issue

Silver Rings For Men, Claddagh Ring

Silver Men's Claddagh Ring

Sterling silver claddagh rings for men from Kaisilver have fine craftsmanship, this is true of gold and silver claddagh rings that we make. However what many Kaisilver buyers are worried about is related to the tarnishishing of silver ring. It is basically a lack of understanding when buyers insist that rhodium or gold plating mens sterling silver claddagh rings will not tarnish. The blame for this lack of understanding rests with jewelers and not with the buyer.

When no plating is recommended for a 925 silver mens claddagh ring, Kaisilver buyer complaints refer to other jewelry advertisements. It is true that many jewelers claim that plating of silver jewelry eliminates tarnish. What we would like to explain is that, rhodium, gold or even platinum plating done on a silver claddagh ring will wear off in time. This is not a Kaisilver jewelry complaint, ALL plating done by any jeweler on silver is never permanent.

What happens to a plated sterling silver claddagh ring for men after a while is not explained by the jeweler. When the plating on your 925 silver ring wears off, it will not happen uniformly all over the ring. The plating will come off in bits and patches. This does leave your ring looking quite boring and dull. At this point of time, you cannot use a silver polish lotion to make the ring look good again. Just keep in mind that the surface of your plated (worn off) silver claddagh ring at that time, has patches of the plating and patches of silver.

Now let us look at the scenario that we recommend, an unplated sterling silver mens claddagh ring. With this option, your silver ring will show tarnish signs but, fortunately it can be handled very easily. Use any reputed commercially available, silver polish fabric or lotion and the ring and the polish will be taken away. This is far easier and more convenient tha actually handling a shabby looking plated silver mens ring that has the plating worn off.

We do hope that the above write up has cleared up most doubts related to silver tarnish for your mens claddagh silver ring. Our support experts at sales@kaisilver.com will be glad to help you with any more questions that you might have. We have compiled a comprehensive report on mens claddagh silver rings at http://www.silverrings925.co.uk/mens-silver-claddagh-ring-info-s925-01.htm

In case you prefer to have a mens gold claddagh ring, we would like to inform you that all Kaisilver mens claddagh rings, are available in gold or sterling silver with gemstones of your choice.

Sterling Silver Rings With Green Gemstones

Many lovers of silver jewelry wonder which green gemstone is suitable for a silver ring. In most cases, your budget and personal preference will influence the gem stone selection for your 925 silver ring. But some things need to be well understood before buying a silver green stone ring.

The options for green gems for your sterling silver ring can be emerald, peridot, green tourmaline, green jade, chrome diopside or malachite. Most of these gems can be used in a sterling silver ring but, emerald is one gem that needs to be understood. Emeralds are always treated with natural oils, this increases the clarity and lustre of the stone. One important thing is that if the oils in the emerald are destroyed for some reason, the beauty of the gem will be totally or partially lost. When you talk about a sterling silver emerald ring, you should know that over time, the ring will show signs of tarnish. This is true of all silver jewelry and silverware. Do not believe in the talk that plating a silver jewel with gold, rhodium or even platinum protects the jewel from tarnish. Such platings provide temporary protection and you will find that the plating wears off after a while. Lotions and polishes used to clean tarnished silver jewelry can cause the oils to get damaged. It is better to get a silver emerald ring polished by a professional jeweler.

Among other gems, green tourmaline and peridot can be set in silver rings without a problem. Cleaning solutions will not affect the gemstone and you can thoroughly clean the jewel after polishing off the tarnish. Follow the same process if your silver green gemstone ring has a green jade gemstone.

Sterling Silver Claddagh Jade Ring. Bringing Affordability To 925 Silver Jade Rings

Claddagh Jade Ring Sterling Silver

925 Silver Jade Gem Stone Claddagh Ring

The RG236 claddagh jade ring has already attracted much attention. The ring was launched by Kaisilver a few weeks ago and fashion experts have some nice comments about the jewel. One very welcome thing about this Kaisilver silver claddagh ring is that, the price tag is in the 225 U.S$ range. This is a modest price considering that each silver jade claddagh ring is fully custom made.

Unknown to most jewelry buyers, almost 90% of the green jade used in jewelry today is treated to enhance color. This is the same story for almost every color of jade. The fact is that most of the jade mined these days shows color patches and zoning. In many cases the color zoning can be in the form of streaks and swirls. The percentage of good jade with good color and uniform color spread is so small that the price of such jade is very high.

The RG236 jade claddagh ring in silver shown above has a treated jade gemstone too. The point is that sourcing your jade gemstone jewelry from the right source is an important issue. We have come across buyers who have purchased jade rings and found that the gemstone changes color or loses color over a few months. Kaisilver jade is tested for color stability and if your jade claddagh ring ever loses color we will be glad to give you a full refund. If you need more information on jade gems or this jade silver claddagh ring please email our support team at sales@kaisilver.com And if you would like to know more about the RG236 claddagh silver ring with jade gem stone, check details at http://www.gemstonejewelry.kaijewels.com/jade-claddagh-ring-rg236-kj.htm

Mens Silver Wedding Rings, Quality Mens 925 Silver Rings

Unique Mens Sterling Silver Wedding Ring

Mens Silver Wedding Rings, Affordability And Quality.

When looking for mens wedding rings, one of the strange thing noticed is the large number of searches conducted for ‘cheap mens wedding rings’. While a cheap ring might be okay for casual wear, it seems quite sad to hear that people are looking for a cheap jewel for an important jewel like a wedding ring.

We would like to change the word ‘cheap’ to ‘affordable’. Mens rings can be quite large both in terms of ring size and overall dimensions. Considering the fact that good metal weight would be required to make such large rings durable, a gold ring might be out of the budgets of many buyers. This is one of the main reasons why silver rings are common for mens wedding rings. A durable and sturdy 925 silver mens wedding ring would be affordable, at least more affordable as compared to a similar ring made in gold.

The reason why we recommend 925 sterling silver rings for mens wedding has one important issue that, casual buyers might not be aware of. In the search for a cheap wedding ring, many men are offered low weight gold rings that are flimsy and substandard. The only way that a gold ring can be made with a low price tag, is by compromising on metal weight and low grade gems and craftsmanship.

Instead of going for a low quality light weight gold ring, you would be better advised to go for a good quality sterling silver wedding ring. Longterm durability is something that you should consider at the time of buying your wedding ring. Do not leave that evaluation for a time after the purchase, it would be too late by then.

A silver mens wedding ring can be made as a plain 925 silver ring or include gems and diamonds. Your budget would generally decide which ring is good for you. When it comes to silver gem rings remember that, most gems get to be more expensive as the gem size increases. Your jeweler should be able to guide you on this. The tradition of wearing birthstone wedding rings and exchanging birth stones has gained popularity in recent years. We have a collection of silver mens wedding rings to better explain what you should consider before purchasing your 925 silver ring, check out the resource at http://www.man-wedding-ring.com/sterling-silver-mens-wedding-ring-mwr-01.htm
