Durability Of Mens Pendants, Effects Of Design.

We have often come across jewelry buyers who have not been explained complete details related to design. A good example is mens pendants where, the design can directly influence the durability of the mens gold or 925 silver pendant. We all know that the design of the pendant would reflect the personal preference of the buyer but, there is more to this.

Let us presume that we started making a mens gold pendant with a weight of around 15 grams. The limitation of weight could have been set up based on the marketing strategy. This is because a mens gold pendant would reflect the gold weight on the price tag. Gold with it's current high price, will form a significant proportion of the final price. If the designer was told to make a large mens pendant with this limitation in gold weight, the design will need to keep the available gold weight in mind. If the design was for a 4 inch mens gold pendant, the 15 gram gold weight would be grossly insufficient. The pendant would then be more like a thin sheet of metal, something that will make it very prone to bending and denting. Remember that the design would basically define dimensions, this will need to keep the gold weight in mind.

Another good example of how the design of a mens pendant can affect the durability can be explained with a gemstone mens pendant. If you took a large gemstone and set it in a mens gemstone pendant, the gemstone will need to be very firmly mounted. A design that uses flimsy prongs is likely to result in a loose gemstone. You can well imagine what would happen if the gem came off the pendant. Repairing such a mens pendant would not be cheap and the gemstone can sometimes be expensive too. In this case the design will need provide a firm gem stone mounting for the pendant.

We do not expect you to become an expert in jewelry by reading this brief report. In an ideal world your jeweler should keep your interest in mind and take care of these technical details but, that rarely happens. We therefore hope to increase the awareness of gemstones and jewelry through such reports.
