Gemstone Rings, How Small Gem Size Can Moderate Price Tags

Choosing Gem Size To Moderate Ring Price

It would be wonderful if all of us could buy jewelry equipped with generous budgets, unfortunately this is just not feasible for most of us. In this report on gem size and ring price, we look at how the gem stone size in a gold or silver ring can help to tone down the overall price of the jewel.

This is very relevant for gem stone jewelry made in gold in current times. High gold prices has sent gold jewelry prices racing upwards. Add the gemstone cost component and you will see that getting a gold gem stone jewel can do damage to your wallet! In this scenario, jewelry lovers look for options that can help them reduce price points. If this can be done without affecting the quality of the jewelry, it is even more welcome.

Emeralds, rubies, sapphires and ofcourse diamonds can be grouped in the category of 'expensive' gems. This will be true if the gemstone in your ring had a medium or good grade stone. Another thing about the gems in this category is that, the price (per carat) moves up steeply as the size of the stone increases. This will be true even if the quality of the gem stone for a big size and small size is the same. This price behaviour pattern requires that the gem size not be too big. If you get a gem stone ring with a large gem but a low price tag, the quality of the gem stone would be quite low. On the other if your gem stone ring has a gem, that is modestly size chances are that, you will end up getting better quality at a good price point.

Let us take the RG153 Kaisilver emerald and diamond ring as an example. This gemstone is a 5mm or 6mm emerald, the side diamonds are optional. Like all other Kaisilver jewelry, this emerald diamond ring can also be ordered in gold or 925 sterling silver. The gemstone size in this ring cuts a good equation between price and quality, the fine band around the ring ensures that the gem does not appear very tiny. If you are worried about durability of the gold or silver mounting for this ring, rest assured that it is taken of. Your gold or 925 sterling silver emerald gem stone ring, will have no scooping done inside the band. This will help make it sturdy and strong. It is very unlikely that many other jewelers would make this ring without metal (especially gold) scooping inside the band.

There are some scenarios in which a small gem stone ring looks fine and well proportioned, there are other cases where a small gem stone in a ring might make the jewel appear strange and unsuitable. Let us say that you wanted an emerald ring with a size of around 5 to 7 (U.S size) and were on a tight budget. A small gem stone size ring would come as a blessing to you. The overall ring proportions would be quite fine too. At that point, you can decide on a gold or 925 silver emerald ring and further customize the price to fit your budget.

We must now tackle the situation where, the ring size would be quite large. If you still went with the RG153 Kaisilver emerald ring concept and used a 6mm emerald gem, the ring might appear distorted and out of place. At the same time, if you went for a 7mm round emerald the cost could shoot up and push the ring out of your budget. So one option would be to probably use more than one emerald in the ring but, stay within a gem size of 5mm. You might be surprised but it is quite possible that, three round emeralds of size 5mm could be cheaper than one single emerald of size 7mm.

Regarding personal preferences there are some cases where the gem size is really not relevant. For example, if you did not really adore the emerald but were inclined to wear it as it is the May birth stone, you might be very satisfied with a small emerald gem stone in your gold or silver birthstone ring. A similar logic could apply if you wore a gem stone ring because you believed that it could have some special powers or significance. What we mean to say is that, in such cases a larger gem stone size would not imply any more powers or significance for the gem.

A classic example of how important rings need not have large gems was demonstrated in an interesting find in the U.K. In July 2011 a British railyway technician and metal expert found an antique ring. British experts concluded that the ring would most probably have been made around the 7th to 11th century. What was more important is that, it was found that the jewel would likely be worn by some royal personality - this could be of Anglo-Saxon or Viking origin. The thing that amazed Kaisilver experts was that, the antique gold ring with a royal history, had a fairly ordinary 6mm round cabachon blue sapphire in the center. It seemed that there were red gems too but, on closer inspection it was found that the red 'stones' were infact pieces of glass. It has not been possible for us to get close details of the jewel since it has now been declared as state property and is kept in the custody of a British museum. The important conclusion that Kai Silver experts came up with is that, the jewel was worn more for it's meaning than as a show of power and wealth.

Blue Gemstone Heart Pendant, Suitable Gems For Big Blue Stone Pendants

Gem Choice For A Big Blue Gemstone Heart Pendant

In a recent survey we asked a select group of jewelry lovers a few questions. One question was related to the big blue stone pendant worn by Kate Winslet in the movie Titanic. We wanted to know what gemstone they thought was set in the heart pendant set in the movie. Almost 95% of the responses confidently claimed that the heart shaped blue stone in the pendant was a blue sapphire. They also commented that the gems that surrounded the center heart sapphire were diamonds!

On a similar note we asked the group what gem they would like to have in a large blue stone heart pendant that, had a gem size of around 30 to 50 carats. Once again, the answer was blue sapphire. Yes indeed, many people know just a few blue stones and one is blue sapphire. Just like the red gem that most people are aware of is, a ruby. Similarly many people are under the impression that all green gemstones are emeralds!.

Now let us climb into a dream world, let us presume that you were dying to have a big sapphire heart pendant. The gem size that you are interested is around 20mm to 25mm heart shape. To put this in perspective of weight, the gem big heart sapphire would weigh around 40 carats to 60 carats. Now let us throw around some figures of what you would be expected to pay for such a pendant.

If you had settled for a medium grade blue sapphire from Thailand that was around 30 to 40 carats, the heart pendant would cost you around 400,000 U.S$ to 600,000 U.S$. At the other extreme, had you intended to get a good blue ceylon sapphire heart gemstone for your pendant, would end up paying around 1.8 to 2 million U.S$ for the gemstone,

Even a casual glance at those pricings would tell you that, we are wasting our time by considering a big blue sapphire heart pendant. So what we will be better doing now is to check the options for affordable gem options for a big blue heart pendant. In the opaque gem range, you could try blue turquoise or blue lapis. Move into the transparent gem category and not many options would exist. One of the most suitable gems for a big blue gem heart pendant would undoubtedly be, blue topaz. The three shades of blue topaz namely sky blue, swiss blue and london blue are modestly priced in the 30 carat to 40 carat gem size range.

One important point that we need to clarify now is that, the gems we are talking about are natural gems. You might come across big heart pendants that have synthetic blue stones or even, simple glass pieces cut to a heart shape. Kaisilver can custom make a big blue gemstone heart pendant for you with the design of your choice. The best part of working with us is that, you get the same quality of design, craftsmanship and gems for gold or 925 sterling silver jewelry.

The above report is compiled by the experts at Kaisilver. We will love to hear your comments or suggestions so do email our support experts at sales@kaisilver.com You can also see more information on blue heart pendants at http://www.kaisilver.com/blue-heart-pendant-blue-gemstone-choice-ks-01.htm

Sapphire Gemstone Rings, Is 925 Silver A Good Option

Sapphire Gemstone Rings, What About 925 Silver.

There are many reasons that prompt jewelry buyers to opt for silver sapphire rings. The rapidly increasing demand for sapphire 925 silver rings in recent years, has been encouraged by spiralling gold prices. But is silver a good option for a sapphire gem stone ring. In this brief report, we get deep into this issue and come up with solid explanations and answer.

You will find that most silver sapphire rings have low grade sapphire gems. There is no technical reason for this, you can surely get a custom sapphire silver ring with a good quality sapphire gemstone. Jewelers mass produce silver jewelry to cater to mass markets, one of the way to gain market popularity is to sell merchandise with low price points. In the case of a sapphire ring, the gem would be quite expensive even in the medium grade gemstone category. Jewelers therefore get low quality sapphires and use them in the mass production campaigns.

Despite what we have just mentioned in the above paragraph, the fact remains that there is no reason why a silver sapphire gemstone ring cannot have a good quality sapphire. In the case where a buyer is hunting for a cheap ring and not too concerned about a drop in quality, the jeweler will continue to produce low grade jewels with low quality gems.

Most silver jewelry buyers are aware that silver jewels tarnish after a while, they also know that a tarnished ring can be easily polished. The worry is related to the durability of the sapphire gemstone to withstand the polishing process. If this is something that concerns you, have no worry. Sapphires are durable gems and come second in hardness to only diamonds. You can safely used a recommended silver polishing solution to polish a sterling silver sapphire gemstone ring. The only thing that we would suggest is to, thoroughly rinse the silver sapphire ring in water after the polishing process has been completed. This will take off any residue from the polishing solution that might be stuck to the sapphire gem or the silver mounting.

If you are seriously looking for a good silver sapphire ring, we would suggest that consider getting a custom made sterling silver ring with sapphire. This is because such a jewel will be crafted specifically for you, and can include all your preferences. A custom sapphire silver ring can have your design, dimensions, gem grade, gem shape and gem size - the jeweler needs to please only you and will not be tempted to cut quality inorder to achieve low price points.

Three Diamond Rings, Deciding Diamond Size For A 3 Diamond Stone Ring

3 Diamond Stone Rings, Diamond Sizes

The RG183 is just one of the many designs that Kaisilver can custom make for a 3 diamond stone ring. What we are going to talk about in this brief report is not about Kaisilver skills, but rather how to select the diamond sizes for a gold or silver ring with 3 diamonds. We will first need to understand the various factors that will influence the diamond sizes for a three stone diamond ring.

Diamond Prices: Almost every jewelry lover is aware that diamonds are not cheap. Medium to good grade diamonds can cost a lost expecially as the size of the diamond increases. If you had to split the price tag of a three diamond stone ring, the diamond cost component would be quite significant. As a general rule you could say that diamond in the below 2.5mm sizes would give good value in terms of size and price. The diamonds in the 3mm to 3.5mm size range are on the border line, as sizes beyond that show a steep price rise. This information would ofcourse not be relevant if you had a nice fat budget allocated for your three stone diamond ring. With reference to the RG183 Kaisilver diamond ring, you will notice that the center diamond is a 3mm round and it is flanked by 2mm round diamonds on either side. Do not take this as a design limitation since complete customization ir possible for all Kai Silver jewelry.

Different Diamond Size: A question that is often posed to our support team relates to diamond sizes in the same ring. Should all the 3 stones in a ring with 3 diamonds have the same size? If you see the concept for the ring shown above, you will notice that the center diamond is larger than the side diamonds. You could ofcourse request for a similar ring where, the center and side diamonds have the same size. Expect the size of the ring to move according to the diamond size that you select. If you want a ring with the same diamond size for all three diamonds, we would suggest that you choose a size of 2.5mm or 2mm for all the three diamonds, this again to keep a reign on the price tag.

If you are wondering about the diamond size being the same or different for all stones in the ring, the answer lies in your personal preference and also the meaning that you assign to the jewel. One interpretation of the three diamond ring is the past, present future concept. With this idea it is believed that the present is the most important time, the past is behind us and the future depends to a large extent on what we do in the present. It is therefore quite normal to have the center diamond that represents the present, to be larger than the side diamonds. The exact size would ofcourse depend on your budget.

Three diamond rings are often used to celebrate certain milestones, like 3 years of marriage or even three whole decades of married life. In this case you might want the 3 diamonds to have the same size, once again go by your personal liking there is no hard and fast rule here.

At Kai Silver we get quite a few custom diamond ring orders for family rings. Most of these rings are gifted by the husband to his wife (the mother of their child). This is a trend that is very visible when couples get their first child. A three diamond ring in gold or 925 silver is ordered. A diamond is used to represent each of the parents and the baby. If you had to choose a same diamond size for all the three diamonds in the ring, the order of the stones would not matter. However if the stones were selected as shown in the Kai Silver custom diamond ring above, the center stone would represent the baby.

Ring Size: It would be great if everyone could choose a diamond size that is porportional to the ring size. For example a ring finger size of around 10 would ideally need a diamond ring with a band width of around 8mm. If you could have a three diamond ring where the center diamond is around 6mm round, you would be wearing a diamond ring fit for the rich and famous! Sadly the ring would cost you more than 4,000 U.S$ and would be out of the reach of most of us. At the same time, a 4mm band width for the ring with such a large size might not look very impressive. There are ways to handle this situation though. You could have a three diamond ring concept where the diamonds are aligned vertically. The RG183 yellow gold diamond ring shown above has the diamonds set horizontally. But if you took 3 diamonds of size 2mm and set them vertically in the band, the width of the band would be around 6mm to 7mm. It is therefore important to get a good custom jewellery provider when looking for a diamond ring. A ready made 3 diamond ring would not give you such opportunities to customize.

The above information will give you a fairly good ideas related to diamond size selection for your three diamond ring. While budget is the main criteria for most of us, it is necessary to get the best concept and ring that is within your budget. Kai Silver is not the only source for your diamond ring, but it is unlikely that any other jeweller would give you such clear and unbiased advise. So do keep this report link for future reference and pass it on to your friends and collegues.
