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.
