Gold and Silver Diamond Rings Could Have Treated Colored Diamonds.

Sunday, November 6th, 2011

Silver Rings With Color Diamonds, Treated Or Natural Colored Diamonds.

The increased availability of color diamond rings in silver and gold, is a welcome development. However there are some things about color diamonds that need to be known. With jewelers and diamond traders preferring to keep quiet about certain facts, it is possible that casual jewelry buyers could end up paying more than the actual value for colored diamonds.

We have all heard that colored diamonds are rare, most diamonds mined are of the white (colorless) type. With this background, it is taken for granted that all color diamonds will be very expensive, your jeweler will tell you that too. But the point is that, colored diamonds that should be expensive are diamonds that have a color naturally. This implies diamonds that are yellow, green, blue or any other color WHEN MINED. Such colored diamonds are rare and command high prices.

What many diamond jewelry lovers do not know is that, some of the colored diamonds – infact most by way of volume – are treated to enhance color. It is this development that has increased the overall availability of colored diamonds. This is good news for the buyer but, the issue of price needs to be honestly decided by the seller and buyer.  Enhanced color diamonds, should be priced much lower than naturally colored diamonds.  Lack of disclosure by the seller does not let this happen, so higher prices are charged for colored diamonds that have been treated for color.

At Kaisilver we can provide gold or silver diamond rings, with white, natural colored or treated colored diamonds – the point is that we will surely let you know if the diamonds used in your jewelry are treated to enhance color. At the same time, we would like to say that we have not written this report to bring us sales or orders. All we intend to do is equip you with factual information, you can then make your buying decision.

The detailed Kaisilver report on colored diamonds will give you more confidence on this issue, check it out at http://www.jewelry.kaijewels.com/colored-diamonds-natural-or-treated-kj-info-01.htm do email us at sales@kaisilver.com if you still have any doubts or queries. Our support experts will be glad to advice and guide you, without ever making you obligated to make a purchase from us.

Wedding Band Pairs, Choice Of Gold or Silver Wedding Band Rings

Friday, July 8th, 2011
925 Sterling Silver Wedding Band Pairs Gain Popularity

Budgets Decide Metals For Wedding Band Pairs

Wedding Band Pairs, Meaning And Affordability

A pair of wedding bands adds significance to wedding rings, this is something that cannot be denied. When you talk about gold or silver wedding band pairs, it would imply that the husband and wife wear similar wedding bands. It is strongly felt that choosing such a design concept for wedding rings, brings the couple closer together.

Silver wedding rings were in short demand a few years ago. Things have changed now with rising gold prices, young couples are looking for silver wedding band pair sets to keep budgets at manageable levels. So what really helps a buyer decide upon the metal for a pair of wedding bands. The fact is that, there is no single reason for making the decision. A number of factors come into play, evaluations are made and metal choice finalized.

In the first category of silver wedding band ring buyers are those who simply love sterling silver. These buyers would not choose a pair of gold wedding bands even if they could afford it. Needless to say, that they expect good quality wedding bands – remember there are not choosing silver rings just because they are cheaper than gold.

There is one thing about weddings and engagements, the expenses on such occasions strain most budgets. You obviously do not only have to spend on your pair of wedding bands, there is food, clothes and even official ceremonies that have to be paid for. Given this scenario, a couple would need to allocate budgets for all expenses. It would ge great if they could trim their expenditure on wedding rings. This is where 925 sterling silver wedding bands offer a nice option.

When you talk about the quality of most silver rings, buyers have a sad story to tell. Most jewelers do haphazard design and crafting for silver wedding bands, this puts buyers off. The truth is that, the quality of design, gemstones (if any) and craftsmanship need not be different for gold and silver wedding band pairs. This might seem hard to believe but, you can actually demand good quality silver wedding bands. Kaisilver has constantly worked to provide equal quality for silver and gold jewelry. This has been our effort since our inception and is not something that we just start practising.

A good way to ensure good quality for your pair of gold or 925 sterling silver wedding band rings is to, work with a reputed custom jewelry provider. This does not imply that you need to work with only Kai Silver, look for other highend custom made jewelry providers too. Once you have chosen the jeweler, disclose your requirements and let the jeweler come up with suggestions and advice. If the jeweler is only too interested in pushing you to buy without answering all your queries, dump the jeweler and find another!

This brief report has been compiled by the experts at Kaisilver. You can discuss any gemstone and jewelry related issues with them at sales@kaisilver.com We have more information on wedding band pairs at http://www.man-wedding-ring.com/wedding-band-pair-mwr-01.htm do give it a read and know what to expect and demand for, when ordering your pair of wedding bands.

Big Sapphire Rings, You Can Get A 925 Silver Sapphire Ring Too.

Saturday, June 25th, 2011
Big Sapphire Rings Need Not Always Be Made In Gold

Sapphire Rings In 925 Sterling Silver Are Possible

Big Sapphire Ring, Not Just For Gold.

The fact is that most extravagant sapphire rings are made in gold or platinum. At one extreme is the stunning 18 carat ceylon blue sapphire ring worn by Kate Middleton for the royal wedding. This ring is made in 18k gold and includes fine diamonds set all around the enormous blue ceylon sapphire in the center.

At the other extreme are junk quality or even fake sapphires set in shabby silver mountings. So if you looked for a big sapphire gem stone ring in 925 sterling silver, it is unlikely that you will get a good quality jewel. Few reputed custom jewelry providers like Kaisilver care to accept fine jewelry orders in 925 sterling silver, the lure of higher profit margins in gold jewelry tempts them to ignore the genuine silver jewelry lover.

We will not same much about the big sapphire ring that Kate Middleton wore for her royal wedding to Prince William. The jewel would have a minimum price tag of around 350,000 U.S$ and is therefore beyond the budget of most of us. If you really wish to know all about that big sapphire ring, catch the complete Kaisilver report at http://www.kaisilver.com/kate-middleton-ring-big-sapphire-ks-01.htm

Coming back to our sapphire silver ring with a good quality natural sapphire gemstone, we will discuss options that would be suitable for such a jewel. Let us presume that you wanted to retain the design concept of the royal sapphire wedding ring shown above but, would like to trim the price tag substantially. You could use a 9×7mm oval ceylon blue sapphire or a sapphire from Thailand. Sri Lankan (Ceylon) blue sapphires are the most sought after blue sapphires, their premium prices reflect this demand.

A silver sapphire ring with a 9×7mm oval ceylon blue sapphire assuming a good quality gem, would be priced at around 3,500 U.S$ to 4,000 U.S$. This includes the gemstone, 2mm round diamonds surrounding the diamonds and the metal and craftsmanship. A similar ring in 14k or 18k gold would add about 500 U.S$ to 750 U.S$ to the price tag. On a lower budget you could choose a blue sapphire from Thailand and take off around 700 U.S$ to 1,000 U.S$ off the price tag.

The important thing to understand is that, when it comes to high end gems like rubies, sapphires and emeralds – it is not uncommon for the cost component of the gemstone to exceed the cost of the metal (gold or silver) in the total price tag. What this implies is that, if you are looking for a 925 sterling silver sapphire ring, with the hope of saving on money – the net savings might not be much. This ofcourse would depend on the design, the gem quality and size etc. However there are many genuine silver jewelry lovers who hate gold, they adore the classic look of silver. You might even come across cases where a buyer is allergic to gold and therefore needs to stay with sterling silver. The demand for silver jewelry is driven by many factors, this is sadly ignored by most jewelers.

The above report will give you a fairly good idea of the issues involved in choosing a 925 silver sapphire ring. The best way for you would be to work with a reputed custom jewelry provider, this need not necessarily be Kaisilver. Have a budget in mind and disclose that to the jeweler, then let the jeweler come up with suggestions tuned to your budget. Do not be in a hurry to place your order, remember that you need to value the jeweler before valuing the jewelry!

Keep in touch with the latest information related to gems and jewelry. Frank reports, honest disclosures something that the world has come to expect from Kaisilver, check it out at http://www.kaisilver.com/kaisilver-gems-jewelry-resource-hub-01.htm

Silver Diamond Rings, Should You Gold Plate A Silver Diamond Ring.

Friday, January 7th, 2011

Information About Gold Plating Silver Diamond Rings.

Should You Gold Plate Your Sterling Silver Diamond Ring

RG183 Three Diamond Ring

At the outset we would like to mention that the RG183 diamond ring shown here is made in gold. However you can order a similar sterling silver diamond ring since we custom make all jewels in gold or silver. Now coming back to sterling silver diamond rings, we are all aware that silver jewelry tarnishes after a while. This is a natural occurence with all silver jewels and other silver ware like silver utensils and show pieces too.

Now observe the image of the RG183 three diamond ring shown here. Had this been a silver diamond ring plated with yellow gold, it would resemble this jewel externally. Many jewelers push rhodium, gold and even platinum plating on silver calling them ‘anti-tarnish’ platings. However if you had to have your 925 sterling silver diamond ring plated, you need to know a few things before you make a decision.

The truth is that all types of platings provided to silver jewelry will wear off after a while. So this is true of your silver diamond ring too. The plating provides a mere temporary solution to the issue of silver tarnish. The jeweler would safely have your money by the time the plating wears off. The wear off for the gold plating on silver happens in patches and is not uniformly spread across the jewel. This is a very important thing that you need to keep in mind.

We would therefore recommend that you leave your silver diamond ring unplated. Diamonds are durable stones and this works to your advantage. You can use any commercially available silver lotion or fabric to take off the tarnish (should it occur) on your 925 silver ring with diamonds.

Get to know more about the RG183 Kaisilver diamond ring at http://www.jewelry.kaijewels.com/diamond-engagement-rings-02.htm The information is very useful and will guide you to make the right buying decision no matter, where you finally purchase your gold or sterling silver diamond ring from.

Silver Emerald Rings, Essential Information

Silver Mens Emerald Ring, Suggestions And Advice

Mens Silver Emerald Rings, Essential Information

Mens Emerald Ring, Gold Or Silver

Soon after Kaisilver released the MAN71 mens emerald ring, queries regarding the metal choice started coming in regular intervals. With current gold prices at record highs, many buyers enquired about a mens silver emerald ring with the same design. As usual, Kaisilver offers this emerald ring in gold or 925 sterling silver. Technically there is not much difference in producing a silver or gold ring. However for the buyer, the properties of the gem stone need to be considered before making a buying decision.

The existence of natural inclusions in ALL emeralds does mean that, the stone should be kept away from hard objects and protected from physical impact. This is an issue that is relevant to gold or silver emerald rings.

Another important fact about emeralds is that 98% of the emeralds are treated with natural oils. This will be true of your gold or 925 silver emerald ring too. The reason for oil treating emeralds is interesting and very logical too. We just mentioned that all natural emeralds will have natural inclusions and fissures. The oil used to treat emeralds seeps into the fissures and ’softens’ their visibility. This adds to the beauty and lustre of the gemstone. While some emerald providers claim that the oils also increase the firmness (durability) of the gem, there is no proved data or testing to support this claim. We can therefore say that the emerald looks much better after it is treated with oils.

It means that anything that will dry up or destroy the oils in the emerald will reduce the beauty of the gem. Coming back to our discussion on silver emerald rings, it is quite well known today that all silver jewelry will tarnish over a period of time. Anti-tarnish platings done with rhodium, gold or even platinum offer only a temporary protection. The plating will wear off after a while and the ring can appear quite shabby then. It is therefore advisable to keep your mens sterling silver ring unplated.

So what happens when your silver mens ring with emerald gem stone tarnishes. Fortunately the solution to this problem is quite easy. Commercial silver tarnish polishing lotions and fabric are readily available. These can be used to take the tarnish off the emerald 925 silver ring too. There is however one very important step that you need to keep in mind. Once you have polished your mens silver emerald gemstone ring clean, you should rinse the ring in clean water. This will take off any residual chemicals from the polishing lotion that are stuck to the gemstone. If this is not done the chemicals can react with the gem stone and damage it.

We just spoke about rinsing the silver mens emerald ring in water after the polishing process. You need to do this quickly and not leave the ring soaked in water. This is because soaking an emerald in water for a long time can cause the water to seep into the gem. This will have a negative effect on the oils in the gemstone. So the best way is to do a quick rinse of the ring in clean water and then gently dab the ring clean with a soft dry cloth.

If the tarnish on the silver emerald ring has been there for a long time, it might get stubborn and not be easy to clean. If this happens to your mens silver emerald ring, get professional help and leave the cleaning task to your jeweler.

Mens Plain Cross Silver Wedding Band MH-02

Saturday, July 10th, 2010
mens sterling silver plain cross wedding band ring

Choosing A Silver Mens Cross Wedding Band.

Mens Silver Ring, Plain Cross Wedding Ring

While it is very true that not all men go for silver rings just because of the cheaper price, the issue of budgeting for a mens silver wedding band is always relevant. We got a few queries the last month related to mens cross wedding bands. The buyers were interested in modestly price rings, they did not harp on them being cheap though.

One gentleman commented that most mens cross wedding band rings are made in gold, they are also rarely made as plain rings with no gemstones or diamonds. Since Kaisilver research teams have often drawn the same conclusion, there is no debate on this issue. Another young man from France commented that he found mens cross wedding bands only in gold or stainless steel! The demand for stainless steel jewelry is picking up among men but, there is no major trend towards using these rings for special occassions like weddings and engagements.

The MH-02 Kaisilver mens cross ring has often been used as an example to demonstrate various aspects of a cross wedding ring for men. When you order this jewel from Kaisilver, we will custom make it right from scratch. The band width, the metal, ring size and even the type of cross can be customized to suit your preference.

The good thing about the MH-02 is that, you will get the same quality of design and craftsmanship for the gold or silver cross ring. The reason for your choosing a 925 silver ring is not important to us. All we are interested in is to create a good quality cross ring for you, in the metal of your choice.

You cannot expect a custom silver ring to be cheap, after all each ring is provided with attention from some of the finest craftsmen. Custom jewelry cannot use mechanized production methods. And mechanized production setups cannot deliver fine quality. For this reason we would suggest that you look for the right jewelry provider when ordering your 925 sterling silver cross wedding band ring. Having said that, also spend some time understanding and imagining how the custom made 925 silver ring can be customized to suit your taste, personality and budget.

If you observe the cross on this mens wedding band, you will notice that the 4 segments on the cross are of equal length. Professionally this would be referred to as a maltese cross. However most jewelry buyers today choose the cross based on their personal choice, so conventional crosses or maltese crosses are taken to have the same meaning and significance. We have prepared a more detailed report specifically meant for the MH-02 mens cross gold or silver ring. You can access the report at http://www.kaisilver.com/mens-cross-wedding-band-ks-01.htm your comments, suggestions and requiremetns are always welcome at sales@kaisilver.com

Plain 925 Silver Wedding Band Rings Need Not Be Boring

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010
silver wedding band ring with no gem stone

Unique Plain Silver Wedding Band Ring

Plain Sterling Silver Wedding Band Ring

A plain sterling silver wedding band ring is a preferred choice for many wedding ring buyers. A sterling silver band ring with no stones makes the ring more affordable since, there is no overhead for the gemstone in the price tag. You also do not have to worry about gem stone durability when wearing a 925 silver plain wedding band ring.

Having said that, many buyer feel that a plain 925 silver wedding ring would appear dull and boring. This can be true if your jewellery provider, does not know how to enhance the appearance of your silver wedding ring. Plain rings can be enhanced by etchings and symbols etched on the ring. You can have these etchings on the face (outside) of the ring or inside the band. A custom plain 925 silver wedding band ring, will give you many options for this.

The Rg234 is a nice example of how an outside etching, can add interest to an otherwise plain silver band ring. The design shows a classic sturdy silver band ring with a creeper (ivy) etched all around the ring. This ring is a good quality jewel and is not mass produced. The width of the band can be decided by you, the etching can also be changed to suit your preference. You can for example, request for a row of elephants to be etched all around the silver band ring.

Mens Silver Wedding Rings, Quality Mens 925 Silver Rings

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010
sterling silver rings for men

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
