Plain Silver Wedding Band, An Affordable And Interesting Choice

Plain Silver Wedding Band Ring.

When you look at the ring shown above, you might not immediately realize how interesting and versatile this design concept can be. The ring is a silver plain wedding band but unique in many respects. Most jewelers would produce this sterling silver wedding band ring with a low metal weight and heavily scooped out insides. This is how the metal weight and therefore the price could be kept low. Unfortunately this gimmick can last only a short while, your underweight silver band ring will soon start deforming and denting. The last thing you want to do with your auspicious wedding ring is to leave it for repairs at the local jewelry store. To avoid these distress situations, read the information in this report.

The RG234 is a plain wedding band and can basically be ordered in gold or 925 silver. When it comes to gold you can choose 14k or 18k and ofcourse, make a choice of a yellow or white gold plain wedding band ring too. For silver wedding band rings, most jewelers love to use a rhodium, gold or even platinum plating. This is because the new ring when unused looks gorgeous and almost like a gold or platinum jewel! But the sad part is that no matter what plating is done on your plain 925 silver wedding band, it will wear off in time. At that point of time your wedding ring would end up looking patchy and quite terrible. For this reason we would recommend that your plain silver wedding band be left unplated. Yes such a ring will tarnish but, a plated ring would also tarnish once the plating wears off. The ring shown above has no gems so tarnish can be easily cleaned with commercial lotions or solutions. You need not worry of the chemicals in the silver polishing lotion damaging the gemstone. This particular design would look even better with a slight tarnish left on the ring.

One very important advantage that comes with a Kaisilver silver or gold wedding band is that, the jewel is fully custom made. This means that you choose everything including the design, band width, ring size, metal and even the design that is etched on the wedding band. Basically your options are never constrained, the only limitations you experience would be your imagination and ofcourse the budget allocation. So the ivy creeper design etched on this ring could be replaced with a short message, symbols, animals or anything else. The inside of the band is solid metal and no scooping is done to reduce weight and price. Over the years you will be grateful that you purchased such a solid and sturdy ring, it will neither dent nor deform easily. A good metal thickness also makes the ring more comfortable to wear.

Custom Jewelry, Can Be Only As Good As The Custom Jewelry Provider

Custom Jewelry, The Source As Important As The Jewels

The requirements for making jewelry are different when producing mass produced jewelry and custom jewelry. While mass production processes requires little craftsmanship, custom jewelry production is a well defined art. Not every nation or jeweler can produce good quality custom made jewelry. Countries like Thailand have always been regarded as major hubs for the gems and jewelry industry. It is unlikely that highly skilled craftsmen can be found in the U.S. In any case choosing a country like Thailand to source your custom made jewelry should get you a better deal for the money that you pay. With Kaisilver leading the pack in online custom jewelry providers, we have proved that it is possible for a buyer to get good quality custom jewelry online. With a large base of skilled craftsmen and gem cutters totalling 3,500 and backed by longterm contracts and contacts with global gem miners, Kaisilver is able to fulfill all custom jewelry requirements in gold and sterling silver.

An often asked question regarding online custom jewelry providers is about how to evaluate an online jeweler. You should first of all visit the website and evaluate the range of styles and products that are offered by the jeweler. The website itself might not be flashy but it should provide clear information and suggestions on the various products listed on the website. A mere commercial website that waits to usher you to the BUY NOW icon is something that you should stay away from. The next step would be to access Google and search the name of the site, for example search for Kaisilver when checking on www.kaisilver.com Make sure that the results exceed around 1,000 occurences. These should come from various domains and not just from the main domain being evaluated. If the website passes this test, move to the most crucial part of evaluting the online custom made jewelry provider. Still on the search engine page, check for negative feedback or buyer complaints concerning this particular jeweler. A jeweler with thousands of occurences on the search engine might have a few negative feedbacks, read the details and consider the severity of the issues. Remember that even companies like every company is bound to have a few dissatisfied customers. But wide scale grumbling online regarding a particular custom jewelry provider should be a warning of danger ahead.

Some useful information and examples of high end custom made jewelry can be found at http://www.kaisilver.com/gold01_h.htm Do not read the content as a sales page, just review the designs and get a glimpse of high custom jewelry should really be made. After all, if a buyer was willing to accept compromise on quality, he would have been better off chasing mass produce jewelry.

Gem Colors, Important Issues About Gemstone Color

Gemstone Colors, Three Important Issues

Many gem buyers make a purchase based on the gem stone color. It is the color of a particular gem that makes it attractive to many people. Just as the color pink or red implies love and compassion, wearing gem stone with that color is supposed to bring up similar emotions and moods. The color green is associated with nature and purity, the same feelings are desired when a buyer chooses a gem stone with a green color. In this brief write up we will discuss three vital issues related to the color of gemstones. The information is extracted from the Directstones report on gem colors that was released recently.

Natural v/s treated colors: Gemstones when they are dug up from the earth have a color of their own. This is the color that nature gave the gem. Gemstone manufacturers have devised ways to alter or enhance the natural color of gems. Some of these gemstone treatments have been known and practised for many decades. They are so prevalent that even staunch gemologists accept them. A good example is tanzanite, a gem that is normally a dull brownish color when mined. The gemstone is then heated to turn it into the vivacious violet-blue color that we all know tanzanite to have. Another gem that comes to mind is aquamarine, the pale blue variety of beryl. This gem in it's rough form has a distinct greenish tone. Heating takes off the green tint and leaves aquamarine with a pale blue gemstone color. We would also like to let you know that newer treatments have been devised that enhance the appearance of almost junk quality gems. Glass filled rubies are an example, using very low grade rubies, this treatment transforms them into glittering masterpieces. However many of these new gemstone treatments are exploiting the buyer. This is because the treatment actually lowers the durability and stability of the ruby. Unscrupulous gem sellers are also known to push  glass filled rubies as natrual rubies with heat treatment. The truth is that a 3 carat glass filled ruby should cost you around 10 U.S$ whereas a similar looking natural ruby that is merely heat treated can be priced at above 2,000 U.S$.

Different gems similar color: This is an important issue that gem providers need to educate gem buyers about. Unfortunately that never happens and the buyer always ends up getting exploited. Many gem buyers choose a gem by their favorite color. With limited knowledge of gems they seem to go for a gem that is expensive. For example when looking for a blue gem most gemstone buyers dream of getting a blue sapphire. A good quality blue sapphire in a 2 carat or above size can be priced at above 700 U.S$ per carat. However since the gem buyer is not particular about any specific blue gem, the gem provider should suggest options like deep london blue topaz or even swiss blue topaz. These gems are great and are priced at no more than 10 U.S$ per carat. Similarly gemstone lovers are aware of only one green gem and that is emerald. The truth is that emerald is not only expensive but also delicate in certain respects. It would be fair to explain this to the gemstone lover and make suggestions for green tourmaline or probably even peridot.

Color stability: Another important thing that you should be aware of. Like we said above, few gems are sold with a natural untreated color. Some treatments are accepted by gemological experts with the basic understanding that the color enhancement or change will be permanent and also uniformly spread throughout the gemstone. In the commercial gemstone world, holding information from innocent buyers is rampant. Not many gem lovers are informed that pink Kunzite fades color over time. This will be true for natural color or treated color kunzite. Glass filled rubies can also show color deteoration after a few years. Pink topaz that is marketed is nothing more than white topaz with a pink coating. If the coating comes off due to gem repolish or scratching, you will see colorless streaks or patches on the gemstone.

The above information does not cover all issues related to gemstone color but it is a beginning in the right direction. The Directstones project is initiated by Kaisilver the world's leading online custom jewelry provider. It is hoped that other gem and jewelry providers will follow suit and start educating buyers. The fair spread of knowledge practised by Kaisilver has won it many enemies among the big and powerful gem and jewelry houses. But we will continue to remain on the side of the buyer. Read more information on gem stone colors at http://www.directstones.com/gemstone-colors-01.htm The website is being built up to be a source for small gemstone buyers who remain largely ignored by the gem and jewelry industry. The emphasis at http://www.directstones.com/ will be on educating and informing rather than pushing a sale.

Men's Pendant, Concept More Important Than Metal

Importance Of Design Concept For Men's Pendants.

The report on mens pendants published by http://www.pendants-online.com/ drew great interest from fashion critics. It proved beyond doubt that men give more importance to the meaning of their pendant rather than the metal or stones that are used to make the jewel. Men's cross pendants for example give importance to dimensions and durability rather than, whether gold or silver are used to make the jewel. Animal and mythological creatures are popular for mens pendants. Horses, tigers and dragon mens pendants can be seen in both gold and sterling silver.

For cross pendants worn by men, texture and dimensions take importance over stones and diamonds studded in the jewel. The report was supported by data from Kaisilver, the world's leading online custom jewelry provider. Men's plain cross pendants outnumbered mens studded pendants by over 80%. Classic looking jewels with an antique finish were also favored by men of all ages. This probably is related to the fact that silver mens pendants are more popular as compared to gold men's pendants. The MPN12 classic pebble texture cross pendant for men was one of the hottest selling mens pendants for Kaisilver. The highlight of this pendant was the pebble texture and also the fact that the design was done on both sides of the pendant. The MPN07 horse pendant was also made with this concept of similar design on both sides. With no back and front differentiation, these pendants look great even if they swing around and reveal the other side.

The belief in dragons has dominated mythological traditions on all continents. People believed in the existence of good dragons and evil dragons. Wearing or worshipping the good dragon helps bring security and keeps away evils. The MPN03 custom mens dragon pendant has a double edged meaning, this increases it's appeal to men who believe in the dragon tradition. This gold or sterling silver mens pendant shows a dragon curled into the middle of the sun. The heat and light of the sun seems to cuddle the powerful and gigantic dragon. Another example shown on the report was the Hayabusa pendant designed and crafted by Kaisilver. The Japanese hayabusa is the name of a remarkably swift and accurate falcon. This majestic bird soars high in the sky and instantly swoops down to the earth to catch it's prey. The mind boggling speed and accuracy with which it does this inspired the leading automobile producer, Suzuki to name a motorcycle with the same name Hayabusa. The Japanese space commission also named an important mission Hayabusa, since the objective of that space mission was to oversee the events on our planet from above. Since Kaisilver introduced the MPN11 Hayabusa pendant, there have always been active debates about whether the jewel can be classifed exclusively as a men's jewel.

Custom Gems, A Great Help For Small Gem Buyers

Custom Cut Gemstones, Gems As You Need Them

If your volume of gemstone requirement was big, there would be no shortage of gem providers waiting to serve you. However, the situation is different when it comes to small gem buyers. A high end jewelry designer might require one single blue topaz to complete his or her pendant. The topaz might need a specific cut and custom size and dimensions. It is very unlikely that such a piece can be found readymade. The large gem sellers would avoid this requirement as they feel that, blue topaz is too cheap a stone to be serviced in single pieces. Smaller gem providers might have single pieces to offer but, they work with fixed inventories. Such merchandise is generally procured as leftovers from the larger gems or jewelry manufacturers. It might sound wierd but if a a buyer needed five different gems of different type, shape and size he might have to visit more than a dozen gem providers in search of the stones. If the requirement was quite specific and not the standard sizes and shapes, it might be impossible to have all the requirements fulfilled.

In such situations, the availability of custom cut gems is a great benefit for low volume gem buyers. The DirectStones operation is geared to help small gem buyers. Every gem is hand picked and custom cut, so there are no limitations to what a buyer can order. Keeping the small gem buyers in mind, no minimum quantity or value stipulations have been placed.
