Mens Aquamarine Or Blue Sapphire Wedding Ring

While many men prefer to wear plain wedding rings with no gems or diamonds, there is another group of men who do not mind wearing gemstone men's wedding rings. An interesting thing is that, blue gem stones are somehow more accepted by men as compared to gems of other colors. Most casual jewelry buyers know only of blue sapphire as a blue gem. With jewelers unwilling to fully educate and inform buyers it obviously means that most mens blue gem wedding rings end up with blue sapphires.

While there are around half a dozen blue gemstones available, only aquamarine and blue sapphire are really suitable for yellow or white gold men's gem stone wedding rings. The main thing about mens rings is the requirement for durability, you surely do not find men taking as much care of their jewelry as the ladies do. A look at the above image will provide essential information about these two gems. While aquamarine is a shade softer than blue sapphire, this should not make it any less suitable for a mens wedding ring.

If you had to make a comparison based on price, aquamarine men's rings would be much cheaper as compared to mens sapphire wedding rings. For example, a 3 carat medium grade blue sapphire will cost as much as 4 to 6 times more than a 4 carat good grade aquamarine gem stone. You can even expect the large aquamarine to have an eye clean clarity, this would be next to impossible in a blue sapphire that is above 1.5 carats.

An interesting case study is the requirement for a men's birth stone wedding ring. Such a ring would have a gemstone that is based on the month in which the person wearing the ring was born. An aquamarine gem stone is the March birthstone, on the other hand blue sapphire would be the birth stone for the month of September. In this case, comparison of features of aquamarines and sapphires would not be relevant. The choice of gem stone for the mens wedding ring would depend on the month in which the person was born.

As we mentioned earlier, a few other blue gems are also used in the jewelry industry. Kayanite, blue lapis and even blue zircon might seem to be good options. But such gems lack the strength and durability of aquamarine and blue sapphire.

Kaisilver Blue Gem Stone Mens Rings Collection

The world's leading online highend custom made jewelry provider from Thailand recently released it's collection of blue gemstone rings for men. The collection drew much attention in fashion circles and this was not just because of the great designs and impressive construction of each blue gem ring. Those who saw the collection praised the detailed information that was released online on the Kaisilver group of websites. It is very important to understand the properties of various gems before making a buying decision. While some blue gemstone mens rings can be expensive, they also offer a high degree of durability. On the other hand gems like blue topaz offer a good opportunity to own a mens blue gem ring with a large great looking blue gem.

While very few gem and jewelry consumers are qualified to fully understands gem or jewelry, the fact that most jewelers do not care to inform buyers adds to the confusion. Blue is a color that has always been popular with men. Blue shirts, blue coats, blue luggage bags and ofcourse blue gem rings never seem to go out of fashion. Many men who wish to purchase gold or silver rings with blue gemstones are fairly flexible in their choice. They would not mind a blue topaz or a blue sapphire or a blue lapis lazuli ring for that matter. What they actually need is some guidance and recommendations based on their needs and the environment in which the ring would be worn.

For example, a mens ring that needs to be worn when doing a lot of physical activity should ideally not have a blue lapis gem. This is because of the lack of hardness in the gem which can cause it to crack or break with physical impact. A buyer who wishes to have a pale blue gem stone ring will find a cheaper option in a pale sky blue topaz, as compared to an aquamarine gem stone ring. The choice is ofcourse not very flexible when it comes to birth stone rings. So, a March birth stone ring would need an aquamarine and not a sky blue topaz though, both gems can appear very similar to the casual viewer.

Gents Wedding Rings, Importance Of Craftsmanship.

If you have followed the trends in gents wedding rings, you would have noticed some very interesting developments. Not so long ago, people were actually debating whether it was necessary for gents to wear wedding rings at all. That was some time ago, and things are a bit different now. Gents wedding rings are growing in demand and men are also demanding much more in terms of design, quality and craftsmanship for their wedding rings. This is indeed quite interesting since it was widely believed that providing good craftsmanship for gents jewelry would make the jewels appear dainty and feminine! The advent of high end custom jewelry providers like Kaisilver changed the mindset of men, they soon realized that quality jewelry needed good craftsmanship.

The quality of your craftsmanship provided for a gold or silver gents wedding ring will do influence more than just the external appearance of the jewel. Things like gem stone mounting and finishing of the ring will also require good craftsmanship. For example a gem stone setter who is not an expert in his field, might not be able to set the gemstone firmly. If this happens, the gem or diamond could loosen and even drop off the gents wedding ring. A smooth and comfortable ring is essential for wedding rings that are worn throughout the day and every day. Good craftsmanship is required to attain these high end features.

There is one very important thing that you should know. Mass produced gents rings cannot be given the complete attention of skilled craftsmen. This is because most mass produced jewelry pass through mechanized production processes. After all. the economies of large scale production are required to reduce prices. The trade off is with the quality of craftsmanship.

Custom Gents Rings

With hundreds of readymade gents rings in jewelry shops, you might wonder why anyone would need a custom gents ring. The truth is that there are many advantages of getting a made to order gold or silver gents ring. The design is one of the advantages, you can get your design with your choice of dimensions when you get a custom gents ring. As an example, a broad gents wedding band might look great on a man with large fingers but, medium sized fingers would be better off with a narrower wedding band. Going for a custom made gent's ring will resolve this issue. The choice of metal for a gents ring is very important, the issue of metal hardness and options for gold and silver are to be considered here. If you come across an 18k gents ring that interests you, getting the ring made as a 14k white or gold gents ring would give you a ring that is sturdier. This is mainly because 18k gold is a bit softer than 14k gold.

The choice of gems is one of the other reasons why you should consider a custom gents gem stone ring. Gems can be purchased in different grades and this will be reflected in the price tag of the jewel. A truly custom made ring will allow you to choose the gem stone type, shape, size and even gem stone cut. You could therefore take the design of a gents sapphire ring and have it custom made with a blue topaz. A ring that originally used a faceted gem can be custom made as a gents ring with a smooth (cabachon) gem.

You can generally say that a custom made gents ring would have a better weight as compared to a readymade ring. This is because readymade jewels need to please wide markets, this can best be done flaunting low price tags. Saving on metal weight and other material can help keep price points low. However, this involves a sacrifice related to longterm durability.
