Custom Earrings, Better Durability, More Flexibility

Jewelry buyers are often not able to distinguish between a pair of good quality custom earrings and earring that are mass produced. The main thing that you should know is that, mass produced jewelry is made to please mass markets. The emphasis is on low price points and quality considerations take a back seat. Given the high prices of gold in recent years, the maximum compromise is made on gold weight. Lower weight translates to lower metal cost but more importantly, also means that a compromise on longterm durability has been made. Custom earrings on the other hand, will be made as per your specifications. The earrings shown in the ERG099 image are a classic example of high quality custom made earrings. The gold weight of these white gold earrings is at least double of what others would offer for similar designs. The metal weight is required to support the researched design that gives equal importance to beauty and durability.

You will notice that the entire edge of the gemstone in these custom earrings is bordered with metal. This keeps the gemstones firmly mounted and also protects the edges from chipping and cracking. Using prong settings for these earrings would reduce the amount of gold weight required, thereby reducing the price. But, prongs are not considered to be very effective. The prongs can easily open up and loosen the gemstone. A prong type setting for your gem stone earrings also leaves the corners (if any) or borders of the gem stone exposed. You need to be extra careful when wearing, cleaning or even storing your earrings. A team of designers spent several weeks to finalize the design specifications for these awesome, aquamarine white gold earrings.

Another very important benefit of custom earrings is the high degree of flexibility that they can provide. You can choose the gemstones of your choice and also change the gemstone shape and sizes. It is possible to get high end custom earrings in gold or sterling silver. The options of yellow or white gold earrings can be based on person preference. When it comes to choosing 14k earrings or 18k earrings, the technical fact is that 14k gold is harder than 18k gold. However earrings do not go through the same degree of wear and tear that rings or bracelets do, so the issue of hardness of gold karatage might not be very relevant in this case.

We have complete information of the ERG099 custom earrings at this link. Read the details and compare various options before making a decision. A pair of custom earrings will last a long time, they will also include most of your preferences. Make sure that your jeweler is willing to give you a high degree of customization and flexibility, the only limitation being your imagination and your budget. http://www.jewelry.kaijewels.com/aquamarine-earrings.htm

Mens Opal Ring, What You Should Know About Mens Opal Rings


You will not see too many mens opal rings, there are a few reasons for this. It is thought that mens opal rings will not be strong and sturdy, this is not entirely true. Another possible reason for the rarity of a mens opal ring is that, large opals are not very common. Most mens rings would require fairly large opal gem stones. If you love opals and would like to have one on your mens ring, do not be afraid to go ahead and get a custom mens opal ring. All gemstones have their own features, a better understanding of the opal gem stone will ensure that you know what to expect from your opal mens ring. At the same time, a better understanding of your mens opal gem stone ring will also let you know what the ring expects from you. Most gemstones require certain issues to be taken care of when being worn, cleaned or stored. So there is no reason to be particularly sceptical about opal mens rings.

Firstly, you should know that all opal gems have some moisture content. The beauty of the opal draws help from this moisture, losing the moisture will also reduce the beauty of the opal. For this reason, do not expose your mens opal ring to strong light or heat sources. Similarly, chemicals and strong detergents can also affect the moisture in opals. Keep your opal mens ring away from hard objects, the gemstone can crack if struck by physical impact. Common opal types for mens opal rings are white opal and fire opal. A fire opal gemstone can range in color from a pale orange to a more strong reddish-orange. The darker shades of fire opal and preferred for mens opal rings. White opals can be found in larger sizes as compared to fire opals. If you are thinking of getting a silver mens opal ring, there are some additional issues that you should become aware of. All silver jewelry will tarnish, using anti-tarnish treatments like rhodium, gold and platinum plating is a temporary solution. Solutions and fabrics used to clean tarnished silver jewelry contain chemicals. These chemicals could affect the opal gemstone. It is better to occassionally wipe your silver mens opal ring with a soft and moist cloth. This will keep dark and stubborn tarnish away thus making it unnecessary to use harsh cleaning methods.

A few design details will also help give you a more long lasting mens opal gem stone ring. Choose a design that does not have a very protruding gemstone setting, this will protect your gold or silver mens opal ring from physical impact. A good way to mount an opal gemstone is to border it all around with metal, this keeps the gemstone firmly mounted and protects it from side impact. If you are considering getting a mens opal inlay ring, here are a few things that your jeweler would not tell you. Opal inlay rings use a special glue to stick the opal to the metal mounting. This glue could wear out and weaken, you will then have to pay for repairs as the opal eventually falls off the ring. Opal gems sometimes lose a little bit of moisture. Inlay rings need a very precise ft for the gemstone size, even a slight shrinkage can cause the gemstone to drop out of the ring.

Stabilized Turquoise, The Truth That You Should Know

Turquoise Claddagh Ring With A Stabilized Turquoise Gemstone

If you have seen a natural turquoise gemstone when it is mined, you will observe the black veins that extend all over the gemstone. The surface of the turquoise gemstone will also show patches of turquoise and portions of black stone embedded in the turquoise. Let us see how such a natural turquoise would perform in a ring. The RG142 images shows a silver turquoise claddagh ring, the gemstone is a stabilized turquoise.

If the gemstone in it's natural condition was strong and durable, no one would worry about doing a stabilizing process on turquoise. The truth is that a ring always take more wear and tear as compared to a pendant or a pair of earrings. The natural structure of turquoise makes it prone to chip and crack. The patches of black stone and blue turquoise also do not stand up well to conventional polishing processes used to polish gems. It is for this reason that a stabilizing process is used to 'bind' the gemstone and increase it's strength.

The next time you hear about a stabilized turquoise remember that, it is advisable to get such a gemstone in your turquoise ring. Unless, you would be wearing your ring just once a year, or don't mind the gemstone getting worn out and cracked within a few months. The details of the interesting RG142 claddagh turquoise ring can be seen at this link: http://www.kaisilver.com/claddagh-ring-turquoise.htm The history of the claddagh ring makes interesting reading and can be found on this link: http://www.claddagh-rings.com/claddagh-history.htm There are many reasons why the claddagh ring is regarded as the most meaningful jewels in history, get the complete report on this link: http://www.claddagh-rings.com/claddagh-meaning.htm

Celtic Claddagh Ring, The Humble Jewel That History Never Forgot

Celtic Claddagh Ring, History's Most Meaningful Jewel

The tremendous popularity of the celtic claddagh ring almost makes one forget the humble beginning of the first claddagh ring. The RG174 ring is a high quality celtic claddagh ring from Kaisilver, the design retains the features of the very first claddagh ring that was made more than 375 years ago. It was then that an Irish slave by the name of Robert Joyce created one of the most fascinating jewels while serving his hard tenure as a slave. The moonstone claddagh ring shown above has a heart that shows love, hands that speak of friendship and a crown that promises loyalty. A small Irish village named 'claddagh' gave this ring it's name.

Throughout history many jewels were procured by plundering nations and opressing innocent people. The British Empire today flaunts rare gemstones and diamonds that were plundered from the Asian countries that it enslaved. The celtic claddagh ring speaks a different story, it is a story of love, dedication and sacrifice that no powerful king or ruler will ever understand. If you consider the humble beginnings of this historic jewel, you will understand why it is respected as the world's most meaningful jewels. Celtic claddagh rings are today worn in almost every country, the meaning of the ring is universal and is not restricted to Ireland. Your celtic claddagh ring could be a birthstone ring, a wedding ring, a mother's day ring, an engagement ring or just a ring for casual wear.

The RG174 is considered to be the world's best rendition of the Irish celtic claddagh ring and is created by Kaisilver.

You can ofcourse choose the gemstone of your choice for your celtic claddagh ring or, request for a special claddagh ring that has no gemstone.
