Mens Ruby Gemstone Ring

Mens Rings, Ruby Gem Stone Gold or 925 Silver

Mens Ruby Rings

It is quite well known that, men prefer silver rings as compared to gold. The MAN07 Kaisilver mens ruby ring is a custom jewel with good design, craftsmanship and gem stone. Many jewelry buyers are surprised to hear that we provide the same quality for silver ruby rings for men too. Jewelers have somehow managed to convince jewelry buyers that, a mens silver ruby ring cannot be as well crafted as the gold ruby ring.

At Kaisilver, we have always ensured that the same quality of design, craftsmanship and gem stone is provided for a gold or silver ruby men’s ring. Technically there is no reason why every jeweler cannot craft a good quality mens silver ruby ring. It is undoubtedly the lower profit margins or silver rings that keeps the jewelers interest at a low level.

Rubies are not cheap, you therefore cannot expect to get a cheap mens 925 silver ruby ring. The fact is that not all men are looking for cheap and inferior jewels when buying silver jewelry. The high price of gold, puts substantial price difference on the price tag if you choose silver instead of gold. This holds true even when the gemstone type, size and quality remains the same.

A 30 gram 14k mens ruby ring would cost around 3,000 U.S$ with a natural 7mm round ruby gem stone. If you choose to have a 925 silver men’s ruby ring with the same gemstone – the price would drop to around 1,500 U.S$. This is an  impressive price difference and is worthwhile IF your jeweler can assure the same quality of gem and craftsmanship.

When talking about 925 silver rings, you need to address the issue of tarnish. All silver jewelry will tarnish, rhodium, gold or other platings offer a mere temporary solution. The plating will come off after a while and the ring can appear quite patchy then. We therefore recommend that no plating be done for your 925 sterling silver mens ruby gem stone ring. As and when the ring does tarnish, polish it with a good silver polish lotion. Rubies are sturdy gems and will not be affected by the polishing lotions or fabric. You should however rinse the ring in clean water after the polishing task is complete. This is to take off any residual chemicals that might remain stuck to the metal or the gemstone.

The above report is published to make you aware of the quality that,  would be possible for a mens silver 925 ruby gem stone ring. We would not like to use this report to make a sales pitch. If you are interested in getting more information on the MAN07 Kai Silver mens ruby ring, please read full details at http://www.jewellery.kaijewels.com/man-ruby-ring.htm Our support experts at sales@kaisilver.com will be glad to answer any queries or doubts related to gems and jewelry.

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!

Mens Silver Moonstone Ring, Gemstone Mounting

Moonstone Rings For Men, About The Gem Mounting

Silver Rings For Men

Mens 925 Silver Moonstone Ring

The MAN09 is not the only mens silver moonstone ring that you will come across. However the fact remains that very few sterling silver rings for men are made with the fine craftsmanship and gemstones as the MAN09. The design and dimensions of this 925 silver moonstone ring are impressive but, we have gone beyond good looks. This silver mens moonstone ring is bestowed with a hefty silver weight of 20 to 25 grams. You can see that the metal thickness is susbtantial all around the ring. We realize that a silver ring with low weight would have low metal thickness, something that can be the cause of denting and bending of the ring.

Let us talk about the way the moonstone is mounted in this mens 925 sterling silver ring. The 12×10mm oval moonstone is mounted horizontally across the finger. We could have done a verticle mount but that would have increased the front height of the ring. Full customization of all Kai Silver jewelry allows you to request for design modifications.

Now observe the gemstone on either side, it is clutched by two sturdy silver arcs. These arcs keep the moonstone firmly in place without covering too much of the stone. You can ofcourse request for the gemstone to be be bordered by metal all around the edge.

Let us now talk about the dimensions of the moonstone in this men’s silver ring. We already mentioned that the MAN09 mens moonstone ring, has an oval 12×10mm oval moonstone. But what we would like to highlight is the thickness or depth of the gemstone. The ring uses a moonstone that is not cut very high, this for one very important reason. A gemstone that is high will protrude well above the surface of the ring. This increases the chances of the stone getting damaged by hitting against hard objects or surfaces. It is the high level of design research that goes into each Kaisilver jewel that, differentiates our jewelry from the others over the longterm.

Another interesting request from some buyers requires a different gem mount. It is common for gem and jewelry lovers to attach special importance to certain gems. When this is the case, the buyer might request for the gemstone in the moonstone ring to touch the finger from below. We can ofcourse accomodate all design modification requests and can do it for you. The bottom side of the moonstone will have a slight curve, care will be taken to exclude sharp points or edges. The gemstone will then touch the finger without hurting or scratching the skin.

We might also talk about the gem cutting in the MAN09 moonstone mens ring. You can see that the moonstone in this ring has no facets on the surface, it is cut in a smooth (cabachon) style. Since we custom cut every gem stone used in our jewelry, we can cut an oval faceted moonstone for your ring. However you should know that wear and tear signs and marks are less visible when a gemstone is cut in a cabachon style. A moonstone that is cut with facets can show wear and tear signs quite clearly especially, on the edges where the facets meet.

Not many jewelers would care to take care of the fine details in a gold or silver ring. At Kaisilver we value our buyers and strive to ensure that they get the best value for the money paid. You can contact our support team at sales@kaisilver.com with any doubts or queries that you might have. Check out the complete report on the MAN09 Kaisilver mens moonstone 925 silver or gold ring at http://www.jewellery.kaijewels.com/man-sterling-silver-ring.htm You will also learn about some interesting design and gem options available for this ring.

Mens Silver Topaz Rings, Should You Gold Plate 925 Silver Rings

Mens Blue Topaz Ring Silver or Gold

Blue Topaz Gemstone Rings For Men

Mens Blue Topaz Rings, Gold and Silver Metal Options

The demand for the silver version of the MAN19T Kaisilver mens topaz ring has been showing a steady increase. One of the reason for the preference of Kaisilver sterling silver rings is the fact that, both gold and sterling silver rings are crafted with the same care and attention. It is also true that the consistent upward movement of gold prices has pushed jewelry buyers towards sterling silver.

Now let us come to our main objective of writing this report. We would like to answer a question that is often sent to our support team at sales@kaisilver.com This refers to the issue of plating 925 silver rings. Can you plate a silver ring to appear (externally) like the solid gold ring shown in MAN19T. The answer is a yes, gold plating on a silver topaz mens ring can make it look like the gold ring shown above but, you need to understand one important thing.

Plating on silver jewelry will wear off after a while. This applies to all plating like gold, rhodium or even platinum. The plating on silver rings is temproary, no matter who does the plating and what claims they make. Can a silver ring plated with gold be replated after the plating wears off, this is also a yes and with some reservations. The wear off on the plating will not happen uniformly, it would be seen in bits and patches. So if you tried to replate the silver ring in that condition, it would not appear as good as the first time. Basically the jeweler will have to do some more polishing on the silver ring before replating it.

Our sincere suggestion would be to leave your mens sterling silver topaz ring unplated. Yes it will tarnish, fortunately you have easy rememdies to this. Polishing lotions and even silver polish fabric can be used to keep tarnish away. If you occassionally wipe your 925 silver mens ring with a soft moist cloth, it is unlikely to show a high degree of tarnish.

Should you have any queries regarding any gemstone or jewel, do feel free to contact our experts at sales@kaisilver.com You need not make any purchase from us, we therefore urge you to take full advantage of our expertise.

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

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 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.

Similarly, the craftsmen are encouraged to give the same level of concentration and dedication to all jewelry irrespective of the metal used to produced them.

Nephrite Jade, A Good Jade Option For Mens Silver Jade Rings

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010
Nephrite Jade Gems

A Dark Green Jade Gem, Nephrite Is A Variety of Jade.

Nephrite is basically jade, both nephrite and jadeite are recognized as jade. Gemstone experts and gem manufacturers are aware of this. If you see the dark green JDN010 nephrite jade, you will notice that the green color of this stone is not bright or flashy. When it comes to silver jade rings, most ladies prefer the brighter jadeite option. On the other hand, mens gold or sterling silver rings should not attempt to use bright green jade unless the buyer specifically asks for it. If you wondered which heart shaped mens silver ring would need a heart shaped gem, there is some interesting information for you. The finely crafted Kaisilver claddagh mens ring, gets regular orders for jade mens claddagh rings. Most of these buyers request for dark green jade, something that is not easy to find if the gem choice is restricted to jadeite.

If you are planning to get a jade (both nephrite and jadeite) sterling silver ring, make sure that the jade gem is not too flat. Since most nephrite jade gems are opaque, gem manufacturers prefer to cut them thin as it saves on stone weight. However a silver ring with a thin nephrite jade gem, will not give sufficient body and strength to the stone. Such a gem stone could break or crack fairly easily. 925 silver rings with faceted jade gems are not very common. While Directstones provides fully customized gem cutting, we do not recommend faceted jade stones. This is not a very hard stone and the portions lining the facets can get chipped or damaged.

Mens Silver Diamond Ring, Is Good Quality Possible?

Thursday, May 20th, 2010
Diamond Gold Rings For Men

Kaisilver Diamond Rings, 14k or 18k Diamond Rings

 Mens Silver Diamond Rings, The Question Of Quality.

Ever since the MAN65 Kaisilver men’s diamond ring was released, regular queries have been received regarding the silver option. Buyers want to know if the same quality of design, diamond and craftsmanship is available for men’s silver diamond rings too. As can be seen from the above image, the diamond men’s ring shown above is made in two tone gold. You can ofcourse request for a single color yellow or white gold diamond men’s ring too.

Before we discuss the silver option for this handsome diamond men’s ring let us discuss it’s features. The gold ring as shown above packs a hefty gold weight of 20 grams. The diamond size can be selected by you and are available in 3.5mm and 4mm sizes. Prices will ofcourse reflect the diamond size that you choose for your diamond gold ring. In an effort to make the ring affordable to a larger base of diamond men’s ring buyers, we have also allowed a choice of diamond quality (grade). In each of the size options, you can select a diamond quality of SI1 or VS1.

Now coming back to the main point of discussion which is the possibility of getting a silver mens diamond ring. The MAN65 can be produced in silver, if this is what you wish send us a request at sales@kaisilver.com and we will work out a price quote for you.

The design and dimensions of the gold or silver diamond men’s ring can be the same. We always make a commitment to provide the same quality of craftsmanship for gold or silver jewelry. This is proved by the fact that the same set of designers, craftsmen, gem cutters and production experts are used to produced the gold or silver diamond ring. Silver diamond rings are normally produced with quite low diamond grades. However we have no problem providing the above mentioned diamond size and grade options as mentioned above, for the silver diamond ring too.

Almost every silver jewelry lover knows that a silver ring would tarnish. Buyers often think that plating a silver diamond ring with gold, rhodium or even platinum eliminates the possibility of tarnish being generated on the jewel. This belief is spurred by insufficient or wrong information provided by greedy jewelers. The truth is that plating on silver can make the jewel appear gorgeous but, only for a short while. Over a period of time, the plating will wear off and the jewel can appear quite patchy. The plating does not peal off uniformly and silver polishing lotions can therefore not make the ring appear better. You can therefore get an unplated men’s silver diamond ring and use a silver polishing solution when tarnish does set in.

You can ofcourse send us any queries or doubts that you might have on this issue or any other issue related to gems or jewels.

Pink Opal Silver Rings, Is Pink Opal Suitable For Silver Jewelry

Saturday, May 8th, 2010
Opals From Peru, Natural Pink Color Opals

Pink Opal Gems, Information For Pink Opals

Pink Opal Gemstones, Suitability For Silver Jewelry.

Before discussing the suitability of pink opal gems for silver rings, we need to mention a few things about pink opal gemstones. Firstly, it is true that genuine pink opal gems are available straight out of the mines. Secondly, it is not true that all opals come from the ‘Opal Country’ namely Australia. Pink opals are mined in Peru. If you break open one of the opal pieces mined from the Peru opal mines, you will see that the gemstone is a whitish pink right from it’s origin. Yes some gem providers use low grade pink opal (as it is cheaper) and then find ways to artificially enhance it’s color. You can avoid such frauds by buying your pink opal gem or jewelry from the right source.

Now let us talk about the suitability of pink opal gemstones for silver rings. The biggest advantage that pink opal has over other varieties of opal is that, it is affordable. The serene pastel pink gemstone is gorgeous, calm and soothing. Considering the fact that the color is natural and not processed in any way, the price of pink opal gems is affordable. You can get sizes even upto 4 to 6 carats at a reasonable price. Since jewelry buyers do not expect to pay thousands of dollars for a good quality opal silver ring, pink opal fits the budget. Even a custom made high quality silver ring with pink opal should not be priced more than 300 to 350 U.S$. You can therefore see that the price range of pink opal gems plays itself well for the silver jewelry sector.

Let us now come to the issue of durability of your pink opal sterling silver ring. Pink opal is an opaque gemstone and most of this is cut in smooth cabachon cut. Gem sources like www.directstones.com can custom cut pink opal in a faceted or any other form that you want. However remember that faceted opal can get damaged along the vertex of the facets, cabachon cut is therefore much better.

Like all opals, pink opal gems have some moisture content and strong detergents or heat sources can dry up the moisture. So do not wear your pink opal silver ring in harsh environments. Your Kaisilver pink opal 925 silver ring will look far more expensive than it really is, so treat it like a precious jewel and you will end up giving it the care that it deserves. Silver opal gem stone rings can tarnish, this is true of pink opal rings too. When this happens you can polish off the tarnish with commercially available solutions. Try to avoid the chance of the solutions or polishing fabric touching the gemstone. In any case, wash the ring after polishing. Use plenty of clean and cool water to run over the ring and gemstone. This will take off any residue chemicals that cling to the opal gem stone. Then use a soft clean cloth to gently dab the ring dry.

You can ofcourse email our expert team at sales@kaisilver.com for any queries or doubts that you might have. If you have any requirement for a specific cut, shape or size for pink opal or any other gemstone, we will be glad to do it for you. There is no need for large volume orders, we welcome even single piece orders. Check out some of the opals at http://www.opal.directstones.com/opal-gems-loose-gemstones-ds-01.htm
