Gemstone Bracelet From Kaisilver

A gemstone bracelet can be pretty and meaningful. The design of your gem stone bracelet would surely depend on your personal liking. If you can get a custom bracelet made, the jewel should be able to reflect all your preferences with no compromises. This would ofcourse be influenced by your budget.

Unlike rings which can often have a single gem stone, a bracelet with gems will have more than one gemstone. The conventional way to make gold or sterling silver bracelets has always been to have a single gem type throughout the bracelet. You could therefore have a garnet bracelet, a blue sapphire bracelet etc. There is a shift in this trend though, many jewelers prefer to hug the old style and continue to push gemstone bracelets with only a single gem type.

There is an interesting thing about choosing the gems for your bracelet. While it might seem simple to make a decision based on the gems you like or on gem color, there is a bigger thought process that is actually involved. The basic design concept and structure of a bracelet could make some gems highly suitable and put other gems in the 'non suitable' gemstone category. Let us use the BRC101 iolite gemstone bracelet from Kaisilver as an example.

This gold or silver iolite bracelet, consists of eight oval gemstones, more importantly the size of the gems is a moderate 7x5mm oval. Gemstones are priced on their weight, what we refer to as a per carat price. However the price per carat of most gems will increase as the size of the gemstone piece increases. What this means is that, a 10x8mm oval sapphire which weighs 3 carats might be priced at around 700 U.S$ per carat. However if you had to get the same gem quality in a 6mm round blue sapphire that weighs around a carat, you would probably pay just about 300 U.S$ per carat. Go through this paragraph a couple of times until you understand this pricing concept.

When Kaisilver design experts worked on the BRC101 design structure, the gemstone pricing and also the gem size were given a thorough consideration. So you can get a gemstone bracelet in this style with almost any gemstone options at a good price. You could for example alternate yellow sapphires and blue sapphires in your gold or silver bracelet. Similarly a combination of pink tourmaline and green tourmaline would also give you a gorgeous jewel.

Let us talk about putting meaning into the gem selection for a custom bracelet. The 8 gems in the above Kaisilver bracelet could represent the birthstones of all the members of a single family. If this was done, you would get a spectacular family birth stone bracelet. But what if you wanted a mothers bracelet with just four birthstones. You could still retain the design of the iolite bracelet structure, choose the four birthstones and then repeat each gem twice. The options are really endless, so a little thought and time is required before making a decision.

If you would like to know more about the Kaisilver iolite bracelet in gold or silver with any gems that you fancy, check out the details at http://www.jewelry.kaijewels.com/brc101-kaisilver-bracelet-gold-silver-kj.htm We also encourage you to contact our support experts at sales@kaisilver.com with any doubts or queries that you might have.

Gold or Silver Custom Made Bracelet

The BRC100 Kaisilver gemstone bracelet is custom made with three of the most popular precious gems in history. Ruby the red gem stone that symbolizes love and passion has a long history. It is also the birth stone for the month of July. Sapphires are available in various colors, blue is undoubtedly the most preferred sapphire gem color among both ladies and men. As a birth stone, sapphires represent the month of September. Your custom bracelet can be ordered with blue sapphires, white sapphires, yellow sapphires and even pink sapphires. You can infact request for a complete sapphire gem stone bracelet in white gold or yellow gold. This can be done by choosing a single sapphire color for the entire bracelet or mixing in other sapphire gem colors. An interesting thing about rubies and sapphires is that, they both come from the same mineral family namely corrundum.

Though not from the same mineral family, emerald the birthstone for May, is a type of beryl. The emeralds in your bracelet just like the rubies and sapphires, are handpicked and custom cut by our experts. If you wish to have a bracelet with green gems but are not particular about the gems being emeralds - we have a few options to recommend. A green gem stone bracelet could also include green peridot, green tourmaline or even green tsavorite garnet gems. We do get requests for chrome diopside gemstone jewelry but, generally do not recommend chrome diopside mainly because it is really not sturdy and durable.

There is one very important aspect of all Kaisilver gem stone bracelets and is relevant to all Kaisilver jewelry. We do not force buyers to go for gold jewelry, and provide sterling silver as a metal option for all jewelry. While this might not sound very unique the fact is that, we provide the same quality of design, gems and craftsmanship for gold and sterling silver jewelry. If you do choose to order your ruby sapphire emerald bracelet in 925 silver, we would suggest that no rhodium or other plating be done on the jewel. This is because all platings done on silver are temporary, the plating will wear off after a while. Keep in mind that, this is true irrespective of who does the plating for you. Sales talk aside, plating as an anti-tarnish treatment for silver jewelry is temporary.

Your BRC100 bracelet can be made with gem stones of your choice. The price of the bracelet obviously depends on the metal and gems that you choose. When it comes to a gold ruby sapphire emerald bracelet, we would like to mention that 14k bracelets are harder and therefore stronger as compared to 18k bracelets. However the choice of a yellow or white gold bracelet can be made based on your personal preference. Contact our support experts at sales@kaisilver.com if you have any queries or requirements related to gems or jewelry. We have published a more detailed report on this Kaisilver bracelet at http://www.kaijewels.com/brc100-ruby-sapphire-emerald-bracelets-kj.htm You can also see some more highend made to order bracelets at http://www.kaisilver.com/bracelet-all-th-01.htm

 

Mens Blue Topaz Rings, Shades Of Blue

If you were looking for a gold or sterling silver mens blue topaz ring, there are basically three shades of blue that you could chooce for the gem stone. Your mens topaz ring could have a pale blue topaz which is also referred to as a sky blue topaz gem stone. The fact is that sky blue topaz rings for men are not very popular. An interesting exception is when a buyer wants a mens blue gem ring where the gemstone 'resembles' an aquamarine. We would like to clearly mention that blue topaz and aquamarine are not the same gemstone. Some gem and jewelry providers refer to sky blue topaz as 'aquamarine' topaz but this is only a marketing gimmick aimed at cheating innocent buyers. Having said that it is interesting to note that, in some cases pale blue topaz can resemble the color of an aquamarine. The similarity is in color only and nothing else. So if you were looking for a men's gemstone ring with a gem that had the color of an aquamarine BUT, are not particular about the stone being a real aquamarine stone - the sky blue topaz could be a cheaper option. Aquamarine is much more expensive than blue topaz.

The next color shade of topaz for a mens topaz gem stone ring would be the brighter blue shade, also known as swiss blue topaz. The MAN08 mens topaz ring shown above has a swiss blue topaz gemstone. This blue topaz has a fairly significant popularity when it comes to mens blue topaz rings and even topaz pendants for men. If your swiss blue topaz ring for men in gold or silver has a gem size that does not exceed, 7 to 10 carats, you can safely expect and demand that you get an eye clean flawless swiss blue topaz stone. The biggest advantage of mens topaz rings is that all shades of blue topaz can be had in good cut, clarity and color at a modest price. This is true even for blue topaz upto 10 or 20 carats big.

So if sky blue topaz enjoys limited popularity when it comes to mens blue topaz rings and, the demand for swiss blue topaz mens gem stone rings is fairly significant - what to most men prefer for their blue topaz rings. You can see the answer by observing the MAN19T Kaisilver blue topaz ring for gents below.

The above ring shows a two tone mens gold ring. The deep blue topaz gem shown in the ring is a london blue topaz. This happens to be the most expensive shade of blue topaz. However if you compared the toughness, color and clarity of london blue topaz it will surely rate as one of the most affordable natural blue gemstones that is suitable for mens jewelry. You could get the same MAN19T with any of the blue topaz gems, it is also possible to get a single gold color for your mens london blue topaz ring.

There is something very true and interesting about mens blue topaz rings with london blue topaz. Choose a reputed custom jewellery provider and insist on a good quality london blue topaz. You will observe that the gem appears far more extravagant, expensive and valuable than it's price would suggest. Kaisilver mens topaz gemstone rings are crafted with handpicked and custom cut blue topaz stones. The color, clarity and cut are flawless, something that few other jewelers can match. Most jewelers would work with a standard gemstone inventory. You will be surprised to know that more than 80% of the jewelery houses have never cut a gemstone in their history!

Axinite Gemstones, Shy Of The Jewelry Industry

If you have never heard of axinite gems, you are not alone. Many seasoned gem and jewelry buyers have not heard as axinite as well. When published on the directstones online gem resource, the number of queries asking about axinite with queries like - what is axinite, - is axinite durable etc was huge. While you will find detailed information on axinite gems on the website, here are some interesting observations.

Axinite has a hardness of 7, this is tough enough to set in jewelry and tougher than many other gems that are more common and well known to the gems and jewelry industry. One of the reasons for the lack of awareness about axinite gems would be the low availability of this stone. Mainly mined in the mountains of Pakistan, manmade and natural factors contribute to low supplies. No we are not going to sing that favorite, rarest gem on planet or bound to become extinct in your lifetime etc song. We will leave those gimmicks to the big sales houses that blast out fairytales on websites, magazines and ofcourse on your television sets.

The mountains of Pakistan experience drastic weather changes within a year. Dry cold winters and killing heat make it one of the most inhospitable tearrains to conduct any organized type of mining activity. The location where axinite gemstone is mined has some man made dangers too. Militants abound in those mountains make it even more risky to work, this is throughout the year. Loose axinite gems are not cheap, they are not very expensive too. This does not make it worthwhile for miners to risk life and limb in  their hunt for the stone. We are surely not claiming that there are massive axinite resources buried in that terrain but, the fact remains that no one has actually conducted a research to see the extent of the deposits.

Most axinite stones fit to be used in jewelry are in the 1 to 2 carat range. The fact that there is not much choice available makes buyers more tolerant to internal inclusions and fissures. For those who love gems for their rarity, axinite holds tremendous value. But for those who feel that the stone can be substituted by the much cheaper and more abundant smoky quartz, this is a gem that can be ignored! We have compiled more information on axinite at http://www.axinite.directstones.com/axinite-gems-loose-th-01.htm 

There is more than one reason why a men's emerald ring should be designed with inbuilt features to enhance durability. To understand the implication of this statement, we need to analyze the emerald men's ring from various angles. Almost everyone is aware of the fact that, men take far less care of the jewels that they wear as compared to ladies. Kaisilver has always recommended some essential features for mens rings keeping this in mind. Good metal weight is the starting point for good durability of any jewel, this obviously applies to a mens emerald gem stone ring too. 

With specific reference to emeralds you should know that, this gem stone will ALWAYS have natural inclusions and fissures. Emerald gemstone lovers refer to these as 'birthmarks' since they are formed in the gem through the millions of years that it takes for a natural emerald to be created by mother nature. At the same time, it is these fissures that make the gem crack or chip with physical impact. This is something that the design concept needs to consider. We can better explain this using the MAN71 Kaisilver mens emerald gemstone ring as an example. To reduce the possibility of the gemstones being hit against or by hard objects, the ring uses moderately sized gems. It is obvious that, the larger the gem the more likely it is to get damaged through by hard objects.

Now observe how the emeralds have been mounted in this emerald mens ring. A prong setting would have been easier for the craftsman but, prongs tend to open up when they get stuck in pockets and other fabrics. It is for this reason that each gem has been bordered with metal. This type of gem mounting does require more skilled gem setters and metal weight, we have provided both these to create a true high end jewel. The bordering of the emeralds with metal also, gives a much firmer and long lasting mounting as compared to prong settings.Still on the issue of mounting the emeralds in this mens gem stone ring, you will notice that the gems do not bulge out from the surface of the ring. Protruding gems are more likely to hit against hard surfaces like tables, walls and doors. 

 Despite the advanced design features incorporated into this mens emerald gemstone ring, you will need to follow a few simple suggestions. Do now wear your 14k or 18k mens emerald gem stone ring when doing heavy work. This will reduce the chances of the gemstone getting damaged by hitting something. Emerald gems should not come into contact with strong chemicals or solvents. When cleaning your mens emerald ring, avoid using ultrasonic cleaners, make sure that your jeweler is aware of this too. 

Another important thing about emeralds which jewelers conveniently forget to inform buyers about, relates to the oil treatment of the gemstone. For many centuries, emeralds have been treated with natural oils to enhance their beauty and lustre. What happens is that these oils seep into the fissures and soften their visibility. Over 95% of the emeralds used in the gems and jewelry sector are treated with natural oils. This is true even of precious and rare emerald jewels that are carefully preserved in museums, these priceless jewels are periodically treated with oils to replenish their beauty. Gemstone experts accept this treatment and it is fair and safe to presume that the gemstone in your mens emerald ring has also been treated in this way. 

Related to the oil treatment of emeralds are another couple of suggestions. Anything that will affect the oils present in the gem would also affect the beauty of the stone. Soaking an emerald ring in water for a long time, can cause the water to seep into the gem. This will then flush out or dilute the oils in the emerald. Strong detergents and chemicals can also negatively affect the gemstone in a mens emerald ring. Another very good suggestion is to store every jewel separately when placing them in a jewelry box. Jewels if bundled together can rub against each other and get scratched.  Do not expose your emerald ring to heat sources, these can cause the oils to dry up and also make the gem stone brittle. 

We would like to you know that the information provided above is relevant to ALL emerald gems and ALL emerald gemstone jewelry. It is just that other jewelers do not want to reveal the facts fearing that it might turn buyers away from emerald jewels. At Kaisilver we honestly believe that educating gem and jewelry lovers is the best way to do business.
