Iolite Gems, Understanding Color Options

It is not uncommon for jewelry buyers to be confused about gem colors when it comes to iolite gemstones. While some color shades of iolite stones are more popular, each color shade of this impressive gem stone has it's loyal following. In the above image provided by Directstones, you will notice that the medium color iolite gemstone has been shown as the first stone. This is with reason, medium color iolite stones are the most popular color shade for this stone. Infact, this color shade can sometimes resemble a Tanzanite. We would like to clarify that, Tanzanite and iolite are not the same stone.

Medium color iolite gemstones look great in yellow or white gold, ofcourse in sterling silver too. The color visibility of this gem is clear even in normal light conditions. The next color shade is the very deep color iolite. This stone generally shows color only when light directly falls on the gem. But when you do see the color of dark color iolite stones, it is almost mystical. You can see visions of a deep pit or well with color seeping through from the bottom. Men seem to be fascinated by this color and it is quite common to find mens iolite rings with very dark color iolite stones.

The least popular of the iolite color shades is the very pale or light color stone. Shown above in the octogonal shape, this gem needs to be very clear to look good. Inclusions or flaws in the stone will be quite apparent due to the light color and easy visibility. While we do not come across many buyers who specifically request for light iolite gemstone colors, it does look good when combined with pink gems like pink sapphire and even pink tourmaline. Combining the pale pink morganite with pale iolite also gives a cool and pastel combination.

Mens Pendant, Importance Of Theme And Concept

The recent report released by http://www.pendants-online.com/ provides a very useful and interesting insight into the issues related to mens pendants. There is a clear and almost stark difference in the way that men and ladies choose the pendants that they wear. While ladies start their search based on metal, gems and external beauty, men look for meaning and significance in the pendants that they wear.

For example, a man who is religious would consider wearing a men's cross pendant. However issues like diamond and precious gem take secondary importance here.

You will ofcourse come across 1.5 inch and even 5 inch cross pendants being worn by men.

Men are also impressed by animals and other mythological creatures for their jewelry. This probably triggered the demand for mens dragon pendants after the Sun and Dragon pendant was released by Kaisilver, the world's leading online custom jewelry provider. The unique horse pendant for men also drew a lot of interest since it was released in late 2007.

When it comes to choosing the metal for a men's pendant, there is an important piece of information. A man would choose a pendant design concept, the next step would be to work on the dimensions. Once this is done durability takes importance over metal status symbols. It is obvious that proportionate metal weight is of prime importance for building a durable and sturdy jewel. Given the fact that most men's pendants would be fairly large, metal weight becomes relevant for such jewels. Since men are not too fussy about gold, the number of silver mens pendants sold each year is many times more than men's gold pendants.

The color of this gemstone does not fade and the gem is not affected by water, normal bathing soaps etc. One of the interesting features of iolite that not many people are aware of is that, this gem is not treated in anyway. The mined gemstone is just cut and set in jewelry or sold as a loose gem stone. So if you are keen on getting a mens ring with a gem stone that is natural and not treated, then iolite should be your preferred choice.

The color of iolite gems is basically violet but, the color shade can vary from light violet, medium voilet to dark violet. For a men's iolite gem stone ring forget the light gemstone color, it will not look very impressive in gold or sterling silver. The best color shade of iolite is the medium violet color as shown in MAN68 above. This color is suitable for a gold or silver iolite men's ring. Infact you would do fine with a medium violet gem in a yellow or white gold men's iolite ring too.

Mens Crosses, Interesting Options For Your Cross

The MPN12 is another Kaisilver men's cross that is bound to gather demand momentum among middle aged and teenage jewelry lovers. At first glance this could appear like any other cross but, there is a lot more. Firstly, consider the fact that the dimensions of the gold or sterling silver cross pendant are 1.50 inches or 3.75 cm excluding the bale. While this has been found to be the ideal length for a men's gold or silver cross, it is true that not all men will be satisfied with this standard length. The fact that each sterling silver or gold men's cross is  made to order means that, you can choose to have your cross made longer or shorter than the mentioned length. Kaisilver has gone a step further and also allows you to choose the type of finish for your men's cross. The MPN12 mens cross is shown above with a pebble design finish, this can also be replaced with a sandblasted look, a tree bark texture or a hammered finish. There is another amazing feature that will is not commonly found in mens crosses. This cross has the same design on the back and front of the jewel. When you wear your cross on a chain, there will obviously be times when the cross turns over and shows it's backside. Kaisilver has ensured that you will always be exposing the best side of your 925 silver or gold cross. The best way to do this was to provide a front side type of quality finish to both sides, so this was exactly how the design and production experts at Kaisilver dealt with this issue.

A fashion expert from France who had a chance to see this design commented that the classic rounded corners made this cross suitable for ladies and men, we could not agree more with this idea. A good suggestion would be to limit the length of this cross to around 1 inch or 2.5cm when it is to be worn by a lady.
