The MAN60 Kaisilver men's claddagh ring shows a ring with a carnelian gem stone. This is one gemstone that is generally selected for it's meaning and traditional beliefs. For example, there is a very old belief that the carnelian gem can bring peace and calm to the mind. Almost every gemstone has it's own story and folklore.

A common gem choice for claddagh mens ring buyers at Kaisilver, is black onyx. This is indeed an interesting gem and men prefer it for more than one reason. Men love the calm and confident feel and look of black onyx, the gem makes a statement without being loud and flashy. But a old belief attached to black onyx is also responsible for a substantial portion of the demand for the stone.

Mens Moonstone Rings, The Duability Factor

The issue of durability of men's rings is very important from the view point of the jewelry buyer. However jewelers are happy to make a sale and do not care much about longterm durability. Many jewelry critics have made favorable comments regarding the Kaisilver MAN09 mens silver moonstone ring. However most of these admirations relate to the external appearance of the ring.

The truth is that much effort and research has gone into defining and including specific features that, would increase the longerm durability of the ring. We can start with the metal weight, as this is one of the prominent factors that influences the durability of any jewel. Most jewelers would make a ring like the MAN09 mens silver moonstone ring with a weight of 10 to 15 grams. However we have packed a stupendous gold or silver weight of around 25 grams for this jewel. A ring with a healthy metal weight is less likely to bend or deform.

Now move to the gemstone on this mens moonstone ring and you will notice, the sturdy arcs that grasp the gemstone on either side. A good metal weight allows for such a sturdy gemstone mounting. Normal prongs can be quite thin and flimsy, this could cause them to open up over a period of time.

Notice the thickness of the metal around the band, do not get confused between the band width and the thickness. The band width is the width of the band and would be dependent on the gemstone size. The thickness is the 'wall' thickness of the band. A good thickness will ensure that the mens moonstone ring does not bend or deform easily.

We will say a few things about the gemstone shape and mounting, these relate to the durability of the gemstone. You will notice that the gemstone in this men's moonstone ring, is a smooth (cabachon) cut stone. Such a cut lowers the visibility of scratches and marks that come with the wear and tear that the ring is put through. While you can request for a faceted moonstone for your men's ring, a faceted stone makes scratches quite clearly visible. This is especially true when the scratches happen on the edges that connect two or more facets.

Still on the issue of the gemstone, you will notice that the moonstone in the MAN09 mens gold or 925 silver ring does not rise too much beyond the surface of the ring. This gemstone is deliberately cut with a low profile as a highly protruding gem is more likely to get scratched or chipped why hitting hard objects and surfaces.

If you have read and understood the above report on the durability of the MAN09 mens moonstone ring, you will realize that far more research, skill and dedication goes into the crafting of highend jewels.

Mens Emerald Rings, Suitability Of Emerald Gemstone Rings For Men

Many of you might wonder why special mention of men's emerald rings is required. There does not seem to be any logical reason for an emerald gem stone ring not being suitable for men. But the truth is a little different and experts at Kaisilver wish to explain a few things related to mens emerald rings.

Durabiity: It is true that the design and construction of a good quality ring can do much to increase the durability of a jewel. An emerald gem stone ring will still need some caution when being worn, stored or cleaned. This relates to the characteristics of emeralds, we will elaborate on this in subsequent paragraphs.

Color: There are some people who feel that green gems do not look good in men's jewelry. This is a trivial matter which we need not worry about. After all it si the personal preference of the person wearing the ring. So on issues of gem color, an emerald men's ring should not be a concern related to gemstone color. You can get emeralds in pale green, medium green and every very dark and opaque greens.

Mens Habits: A detailed research conducted by Kaisilver experts came up with some very interesting findings. One of these was that, men do not take sufficient care of the jewelry that they wear. This needs to be directly related to a men's emerald gemstone ring because, emeralds by nature require a bit of caring and caution.

Inclusions and fissures: Though very few jewelers would care to inform buyers, the truth is that ALL natural emeralds will have inclusions and fissures. These natural characteristics make the gem a bit prone to chipping and cracking with physical impact. You can safely presume that the gemstone in your men's emerald ring will have these too. It is important to keep an emerald ring away from hard objects.

Oil treatment: Another thing about emeralds that might surprise you is that, all emeralds (over 95% of them) are treated with natural oils. It is almost impossible for you to get a mens gold or silver emerald ring that has not been treated with oils. Even priceless emerald jewels securely preserved in museums are periodically treated with oils to enhance the beauty of the gemstones. The oils flow into the gemstone and fill up the fissures making them less visible. Gem experts love to say that the oils 'soften' the visibility of the fissures and increase the lustre of the emerald. There is no supporting research to prove that oil treatment increases the strength of the gemstone though some gem manufacturers make that claim. The oil treatment dictates the need for some measures to take care of the gemstone. We will discuss these issues in the paragraphy related to caring for emerald gems.

Caring for emeralds: It is the natural characteristics of emeralds and the oil treatment that brings in the need for some caution. Emeralds have a hardness factor of 7.5 to 8 which should make them quite sturdy, but other factors work to pull down the durability of the stone. We already mentioned that the stone in your emerald mens ring should not strike or be struck by hard objects. This is something that needs to be taken care of even when storing the ring. Do not bundle all jewels together in a jewelry box. A box that has separate compartments for each jewel is preferable. When washing an emerald ring strong detergents should not be used, these can seep into the stone and affect the natural oils. Avoid heat sources for your emerald ring or other emerald jewels. This can cause the oils to dry up and give the gemstone a dry and drab appearance.  When washing an emerald ring, do not soak the ring in water for a long time as seepage of water into the gemstone can spoil the stone. Ultrasonic cleaners are also not recommended for cleaning emerald gem stone jewelry.

Before you choose an emerald men's ring read and understand the above details. Our support experts at sales@kaisilver.com will be glad to assist you with any doubts or queries that you might have. There is no need to buy your emerald ring or make any other purchase to get the benefit of our expertise so do get as much information as you need from the team.

Mens Sapphire Rings, Making Customization Work

When you talk about or mens rings or any other jewelry for that matter, there are some features that can be optional and some features that are almost mandatory. Durability is one of the features that should never be compromised, this becomes even more relevant when it comes to mens rings. This mainly because, men themselves do not take sufficient care about the rings or other jewels that they wear.

Custom jewelry provides you options for customization but, you first need to understand what features to look for. The MAN23 Kaisilver sapphire mens ring is a good starting point to understand various issues. Sapphires are found in different grades, the price of your sapphire mens ring would be influenced by the sapphire quality (grade) that you select. Let us leave the low grade sapphires aside, most people would not care to wear such gems in their jewelry. But there is a choice between medium and good grade blue sapphires. The image shows the sapphire gold ring with a medium grade blue sapphire. This grade is sufficient in most cases. Considering the stringent gem selection processes at Kaisilver, the medium grade would be considered as good grade by other jewelers.

There are more common features that can be customized when it comes to your 14k or 18k mens sapphire gem stone ring. For example, the very design that you choose for your blue sapphire mens ring can be chosen based on your preference. The option for gold or silver always exist. While it is true that most mens sapphire rings are made in gold, there is no technical reason that would prevent you from going for a silver sapphire ring. As long as you stay with the medium to high grade, your sapphire mens ring would look great in yellow or white gold.

It is quite true that most buyers are not aware of all issues related to gems and jewelry. This being the case, your best bet would be to choose the right jeweler. Someone who will work hard to satisfy you rather than a jeweler hard pressed to achieve sales or profit targets!

Iolite Rings, Mens Iolite Gem Stone Rings

If you study the properties of iolite gems, you will be surely impressed by this gem stone. One of the very important requirements of gems for a mens ring is the durability of the gemstone. Iolite measures an impressive 7.5 to 8 on a scale of 10 when it comes to hardness. This makes it a great gem for mens rings. 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. While many men do prefer the very deep violet iolite, make sure that you understand that the very dark color would hardly make violet tones visible in normal light. No matter which color shade of iolite you choose for your mens iolite ring, the color will never be bright or loud. This is what makes many men love the iolite for.

After having read the above paragraphs regarding the good features of iolite, you might wonder why it is not very popular. The truth is that there is no abudant supply of iolite. Most of the good quality iolite gems are mined in Orissa which is a state in India. Low output often limits the popularity of a good gemstone and this is clearly visible in the iolite gemstone.
