While you remain impressed with the fine design, high quality craftsmanship and flawless white topaz gem - we have built in features that assure long term durability for your ring. Most jewelry lovers think of blue topaz gems when buying a men's topaz gemstone ring. This is so very true that many people do not even know that natural white topaz exists! The fact that white topaz rings are not very common, has made the MAN75 popular among serious jewelry lovers looking for something unique. While you can order this mens gem stone ring with a sky blue, swiss blue or london blue topaz gemstone - take a good look at this white topaz gem stone mens ring and you will be immediately impressed with it's calm and yet confident appearance. We would like to say a few things about white topaz gems in the next few paragraphs, so do keep reading.
When Kaisilver launched the MAN75 mens gold and silver ring, our support experts received several queries regarding the gemstone. We were alarmed to learn that quite a few seasoned gem and jewelry buyers were unaware that, white topaz gems were found in natural form. A regular Kaisilver buyer from Germany, wanted to know whether the color on white topaz was due to some new color enhancement treatment. A valuable client from New York, wanted to know whether Kaisilver could assure him that this white topaz stone was natural, the email further enquired whether we had actually seen the rough stone before cutting. It was heartening to see, that a good proportion of buyers enquiring about the white topaz, actually went on to buy the ring once they were assured that it was a natural gemstone.
There is some very interesting thing related to white topaz gemstones. Though most topaz gem stone rings you come across will be made with many topaz gem colors besides white, the fact is that white topaz gems are the most often found topaz gem variety when mined. Your white topaz mens ring has a natural white topaz stone, it is white right from the moment that the rough rock is lifted from the mines. To put this in quantitative terms, more than 90% of the rough topaz mined on our planet is made up of white topaz stone. White topaz rough that is mined is sometimes found with a slight tint to the white, heating the rough brings out the pure white color of the gemstone.
With such a high percentage of mined rough topaz being white, it is quite surprising that blue topaz is the most popular color shade for topaz gemstone rings. Coming to mens blue topaz rings you could have a light blue (sky blue) topaz gemstone ring, a brighter swiss blue topaz mens ring, or the deeper blue london blue topaz gem stone ring for men. All these blue color shades for topaz gems are got by treating white topaz, the color enhancement gives the shades of blue. You will be interested to know that more than 75% of all topaz jewelry made uses blue topaz gems in various shades of blue.
A short note about the MAN75 Kaisilver mens gold or 925 silver ring. This ring is shown here as a 18k or 14k yellow gold white topaz ring. If you prefer to have a mens white gold ring, you can request for the same ring to be made in white gold. The prices of gold have shown a sharp increase in recent years, the demand for quality in mens silver rings is met by very few highend jewelers. At Kaisilver we ensure that your gold or 925 sterling silver ring gets the same level of attention and quality as the gold ring. We have always done this, and our impressive client list will prove this too. The fact that each jewel is fully custom made means that we can provide an unmatched degree of customization. Besides white and blue topaz, you could also select any other gemstone of your choice for this ring or any other jewelry that you order from us.
We do not wish to turn this report into a sales campaign, so if you are really interested in knowing more about this mens topaz gemstone ring, please read all details at http://www.jewellery.kaijewels.com/man75-mens-white-topaz-ring-kj-01.htm and email our support experts at sales@kaisilver.com if you have any queries or requirements.

Claddagh Mens Rings, Choosing The Right RingMany Kaisilver buyers have complaints about previous jewelers from where they had purchased jewelry. While there is not much that we at Kai Silver can do about such buyer complaints, we do analyze the reasons for buyer dissatisfaction and make sure that such problems do not arise from our jewelry. Let us take the case of the classic mens claddagh ring, the MAN60 gives a good image of this historic jewel.
A French lady travelled to New York on a business trip. She related her bad experience to our support team a few weeks ago. The young lady walked into a plush jewelry showroom and purchased a 14k mens claddagh ring with a Madagascar blue sapphire gem. It is not a surprise that she paid more than double of what Kaisilver would have charged her, but that was not the issue here. The ring was a size 12 (U.S$) with a weight of 12 grams, the gemstone was an 8mm blue sapphire. Back in France, her husband wore the ring for a week, and was one day shocked to see that the sapphire had actually dropped off the mounting. Neither the lady nor her husband could find the gemstone. It is very sad because a major component of the price tag for the mens sapphire claddagh ring was the gemstone.
A few weeks later, the same lady was browsing the web and came across Kaisilver claddagh rings. She emailed our support team at sales@kaisilver.com and explained her requirement. The Kaisilver team also heard the complain that this jewelery buyer had with her previous jeweler. On checking the details of the ring which had lost the sapphire gem, we noticed that the gem mounting was very flimsy. The three prongs that held the center heart shaped sapphire were just too short. This seemed to be the major cause of the lose gem, the stone just popped out somewhere and got lost.
What the French lady had experienced was common, most jewelers make light weight jewels at the expense of longterm durability. To cut this story short, we are pleased to say that the young lady now proudly wears a claddagh ruby ring, her husband has a new Kaisilver sapphire claddagh ring. Our claddagh rings are built tough and stylish, we do not compromise on metal weight as this means a sacrifice of durability. If you are on a limited budget and need a claddagh ring, we would suggest that you consider a mens silver claddagh ring rather than go for a light weight gold claddagh ring.
Kaisilver Mens Claddagh Rings, Durability Features:
- Metal weight ranges from 20 grams to 35 grams or more. Since we custom make each mens claddagh ring, we ensure that the metal weight is proportionate to the ring size and dimensions.
- Sturdy gemstone mounting for our mens claddagh rings are ensured in more than one way. Notice how the carnelian gem stone in the mens claddagh ring shown above is fully bordered with metal. We do not trust prong settings, as prongs can get stuck in pockets and other fabric and open up. This ofcourse also causes the gem to become lose.
- Custom cut gems and custom made mountings. This is an important factor that enhances the strength of Kaisilver mens claddagh rings. This is true for both gold and silver mens claddagh rings. Our mountings are made to perfection, each gem stone is custom cut to perfectly fit the finely crafted mountings. You will not face problems like too tight mountings or too small gems.
If you are interested in purchasing a mens claddagh ring, we would suggest that you read our detailed report on the subject. Do not place an order with us without evaluating other jewelers. Compare features like metal weight, gem quality, gem mounting, craftsmanship etc and then make a decision. You really cannot compare a 10 gram mens topaz claddagh ring with a Kaisilver highend, 25 grams 14k gold mens claddagh ring with a fine cut and eye clean blue topaz gem. The report can be seen at http://www.newsletter.kaijewels.com/mens-claddagh-ring-info-kj-01-2808.htm The information is detailed and useful, it surely is something that not many jewelers would care to explain to the buyer.

Blue Heart Pendants, Related Issues And SuggestionsAlthough the heart pendant has remained popular for many decades, there have been times when the demand for this pendant to reach a near frenzy. When you talk about a blue heart pendant, few can forget the big blue sapphire and diamond pendant worn by Kate Winslet in the epic movie Titanic. The truth though is that the blue gem stone heart pendant in the movie had no sapphire or diamonds at all. The center blue heart stone was a cheap factory made cubic zirconia. The white stones surrounding the center heart were also white cubic zirconia.
But what if you wanted a heart shaped pendant with a blue gemstone in the center. Further let us presume that you wanted a natural blue gem and not a factory made gimmick. This is an interesting topic as, Kaisilver experts answer at least 2 dozen emails each month related to big blue gem stone pendants. And most of these queries come from ladies wanting a heart pendant with blue stone. Back to the Titanic pendant, the interesting part was that, it spawned millions of fakes made by jewelry factories. Another interesting thing is that the jeweler who made the original fake pendant for the movie, went on to make a genuine sapphire and diamond pendant. The real sapphire and diamond heart pendant was valued at over 3 million U.S$. Under interesting circumstances it was sold for a little over 2 million U.S$. You can see more details of the Titanic pendant here.
Back to our blue gemstone heart pendant, it is fair to presume that most of us would not spend more than 2,000 to 3,000 U.S$ on this jewel. So what then are the gem options for such a jewel. If you need a transparent, eye clean and flawlessly cut blue gemstone and prefer a size of around 20 to 40 carats - blue topaz is the ONLY natural gem that is still affordable. Kaisilver released the PG028 big topaz pendant more than a decade ago and has since crafted more than 200 pieces for jewelry lovers across the globe. The good thing about blue topaz gems is that, you get three shades of blue to choose from. The very pale sky blue topaz, the brighter swiss blue topaz (shown in the above image) and the deep london blue topaz gemstone.
This gemstone set in a gold pendant with a size of around 30 to 40 carats, would be well within your budget of 2,000 to 3,000 U.S$. We will say this with a small note, the availability of large blue topaz is a bit tighter than it was around 10 to 15 years ago. Topaz is not about to become extinct! Both Brazil and Nigeria have large amounts of rough topaz in the mines. But the definition of a large size for blue topaz has come down over the years. For example, we could at one time conveniently promise 50 to 60 carat blue topaz gems. The prices of such stones have now trippled, the volume available has reduced AND flawless gems in this size are rare.
So is blue topaz the only gem option for a heart shaped blue gem pendant. No you could look at other gems too like blue lapis lazuli and blue turquoise. These gems are opaque and also much cheaper than blue topaz. However both lapis and turquoise will require more caring and fussing when being worn, stored or cleaned. But the good news is that if you wanted a large 40 carat blue lapis heart pendant, in a budget that was under 500 U.S$. You can get a good gemstone mounted in sterling silver within that budget.
While we have had queries for a blue jade heart pendant, the issue is about gemstone treatment. Almost all the blue jade that arrives in the gem and jewelry markets is dyed to enhance color. If you do get an untreated blue jade gemstone of this size, it will either be of a low grade and have small pits or color zoning or - be of a fine quality and cost a fortune.
So what about cubic zirconia as an option for your blue heart pendant. Yes it is one suggestion to be considered but, will surely not appeal to someone who is looking for a natural gemstone. Cubic zirconia has no natural counterpart, it is a man made material and can be had in all sizes and shapes.
Kaisilver can custom make a blue heart pendant or any other jewel with the design and gem stone of your choice. We are the only high end jewelry provider to give equal attention and care to gold and sterling silver jewelry. Our support team at sales@kaisilver.com will be glad to help you with any queries or requirements that you might have.

|  Heavy Bangle, Deciding On Bangle WeightSo what exactly is a heavy bangle. What is the weight range for a bangle that could classify it as a heavy bangle. Unfortunately there is no single number that can define heavy bangles, this is true of both gold or sterling silver bangles. When Kaisilver released the BNG01 custom gold bangle with a weight of 30 grams, most jewelry buyers termed it as heavy gold bangle. The jewel remains one of the top selling items, despite the steep rise in gold prices. Now comes the BNG02 bangle that is being released at a time when, gold prices are at their highest point in history. This heavy bangle is custom made in gold or silver and weighs a whooping 45 grams. Going by the last few weeks, it does seem that jewelry lovers who love the precious metal to weigh on their wrists, have not given much heed to high gold prices. It is also true that, the number of silver bangle buyers looking for good quality, craftsmanship, design and weight are growing in number.
The weight of a bangle should be evaluated with reference to the size (diameter) of the bangle and also the band width of the jewel. The 1.2cm (12mm) band width for this 22k, 14k or 18k gold bangle is quite impressive. This is true because most gold bangles are today being made with band widths of around 4mm to 6mm. The size of the bangle can obviously be tailored to your requirements. The image shows the gold bangle with a diameter of 6cm which is sufficient for most feminine wrists. The best thing about Kaisilver bangles is that, you need not squeeze and twist your fingers and knuckles through the bangle. The bangle is provided with a hinge on one side and an opening mechanism on the other. You just open the clasp and slide your wrist through the opening, then shut the mechanism shut. Once you are aware of this concept, you will realize that the 6cm diameter is a generous size.
Now let us go back to calling this 45 gram bangle as a heavy jewel. All Kaisilver bangles are custom made as per your requirements. If you fancied a broader bangle that has a band width of around 2cm (20mm) and a bangle size, of around 8cm diameter the weight of the jewel would ideally need to be altered to reflect the larger size. We would probably suggest a heftier weight of around 60 grams for such a bangle. The point is that the definition of a heavy bangle would depend not just on the weight but also, on the dimensions and size of the jewel. It is a well known fact that providing a good metal weight makes a jewel strong and sturdy. If you try to economize on the metal weight of your bangle just to lower the price point, you will be forced to pay repair charges to repair a deformed or dented jewel. If your budget cannot get you a sturdy and heavy gold bangle, look for a good sterling silver bangle. The classic and reliable feel of sterling silver jewelry has lured even some very wealthy buyers to switch to silver, so you might want to give it a good look. The above report is a brief note on understanding heavy bangles. The Kaisilver support team at sales@kaisilver.com will be glad to help you with any queries or requirements that you might have. We have a more detailed description of the BNG02 heavy gold or 925 sterling silver bangle at http://www.kaisilver.com/bng02_h.htm Give it a good read and know what to expect and demand when evaluating options for your bangle. | | |

CHOOSING A PAIR OF WEDDING BANDS.
Wedding rings are special occasion jewels, they help add meaning to a solemn commitment between two individuals. A pair of wedding band rings takes this meaning much further, it symbolizes togetherness something that is at the essence of every successful marriage. The demand for wedding band pairs has been steadily increasing over the past few years. This is a good trend since it shows the seriousness that people attached to the institution of marriage and family life. We will not talk much about choosing a design for a pair of wedding band rings. Most of us would follow our personal preferences when choosing a design concept. However there is more that needs to be considered and evaluated when buying a pair of gold or 925 sterling silver wedding band rings, this is what we will discuss in this brief report. Kaisilver has always believed in educating gem and jewelry buyers, an effort that has worked to the benefit of the entire gemstone and jewelry industry. Unfortunately, not many jewelers have followed our example, this is clear from the number of emails our support team handles each week. Choosing the metal for your wedding band pair is an important decision. In recent years, hefty gold prices has encouraged more couples to opt for silver wedding band pairs. This is a good idea since there is no point in putting strain on your financial resources by going for a pair of gold wedding band rings if your budget is too limited. In general, we would say that a pair of gold and sturdy silver wedding bands is much better than a light weight flimsy pair of gold band rings. Just remember that low metal content for your wedding band rings, means that they can bend or dent. This obviously will require repairs and additional expenses. Another interesting decision that needs to be made relates to studded or plain wedding band pairs. Gems can add beauty and meaning to a jewel, they will also add a cost component to the price tag. This is especially true if you choose rubies, sapphires, emeralds and diamonds for your pair of wedding band rings. One other thing that needs to be kept in mind is that, some gems require special care and attention. For example, a pair of emerald gem stone wedding bands need to be kept away from heat and should not be soaked in water. The selection of gems can be made according to your liking, birthstones and exchanging birth stones in wedding bands can enhance the meaning of the jewels. You might think that a pair of plain wedding band rings would appear dull and mundane, but this need not be so. It is possible to craft plain wedding bands with symbols, etchings or even messages around the wedding band. For example a row of musical notes or a religious message could be shown on the outside of the pair of plain wedding band rings. This not only adds interest to the plain rings but also, enhances the meaning and significance of the jewel. It is possible to use different metal finishing on plain wedding bands, dull or high polished options are the most common. However you could also consider a pebbled finish or a hammered finish for your plain wedding band pair. People are sometimes confused when choosing the band width for a pair of wedding rings. The basic design for both rings needs to be same when you talk about a pair of wedding bands. However it is not necessary that the band width, ring size or even the gemstone (if any) be the same for both rings. So you could have the men's wedding band with a band width of around 8mm or even 10mm. Ladies wedding band rings are generally made with band widths of 5mm to 7mm. These are not fixed standards and we urge you to follow your personal liking or preference.
