Made To Order Jewelry From Thailand, All Designs All Gem Options

Custom Jewelry, The Jeweler As Important As The Jewelry.

Most people are aware that custom jewelry is a good option for quality jewels. However the important thing that you should know is that, only a reputed custom jewelry provider can deliver the complete benefits of custom made jewelry. Making jewelry is a skill and an art too, it is not about operating mechanized production lines. Thailand has always been a hub for the international jewelry scene. Skilled craftsmen and expert gem cutters have experience that has been gained with decades of experience.

When you choose a jeweler for your custom jewelry requirement, you need to check a few things. Firstly, make sure that the jeweler is well conversant with a variety of styles. A custom made jewelry provider who has experience in various lines of products like ring, bangles, bracelets, pendants, mens jewelry and even cufflinks is more likely to have the kind of expertise that is required. Online custom jewelry providers can sometimes give you results that the jewelry shop cannot. For example, ordering online custom jewelry from Thailand while you are in the U.S can get you good quality jewelry at a modest price.

Another important issue when choosing an online custom jewelry provider is to ensure that the website is well covered on the main search engine namely, Google. Type in the name of the jewelry website and check the occurences. A site with around 2,000 occurences or more is something that you should interest you. The next step would be to look for negative feedbacks made by buyers online. These feedbacks could be anywhere and not necessarily on the website of the jewelry provider. If you do come across a jeweler with around 2,000 occurences on the search engine but, cannot find a negative comment on any website, it is safe to presume that the jeweler is good to do your job.

It is hard to judge the reputation of a custom jewelry provider by the payment methods accepted. While Paypal and Credit Cards are the most popular options for online payments, other options also exist. Western Union money transfers are suspect since no tracking is available tracing the source and destination of the payment. Kaisilver as the world’s largest online custom jewelry provider is based in Thailand. Payment is accepted through Paypal (first preference) or Bank Transfers. For buyers who insist on using credit cards, a request is made to go through Paypal and use the card to fund their Paypal account. It is not buyers alone who need to be aware of online payment frauds, sellers are also targeted by fraudulent buyers. A robbed credit card if used on the net can cause serious problems to the seller. When it comes to paying through Western Union, Kaisilver has a strong and commendable policy. Buyers are clearly informed that Western Union transactions are not suitable for first time buyers. This payment mode is useful but is more suited to transactions where the buyer and seller have already established a good relationship. There are numerous cases where U.S members of the armed forces who are posted overseas find that, Western Union is the only comfortable way that they can pay for a transaction.

You can get an idea of how custom made jewelry can help you get the jewel of your dream. The amazing versatility of Kaisilver custom jewelry can be used as a yardstick to evaluate other custom made jewelry providers. Get to know more at http://www.kaisilver.com/gold01_h.htm

Gemstone Colors, What You Should Know

Gemstone Colors, Useful Information On The Colors Of Gemstones.

Many gem lovers choose a gem based on the color. Certain gemstones are favorites with men and ladies have their own choice when it comes to gem colors. It is true that the price, demand and availability of a gem are to a large extent influenced by the color of the gem stone. Many gems can have similar color but are totally different in terms of composition and physical properties. When talking about natural gemstones, not all the colors that you see are natural. The treatment of gemstones to change or enhance color is rampant, so much so that gemstone experts accept many of these treatments.

Some gemstones actually change color when the light source changes. These gems are referred to as color change stones and alexandrite leads the pack of such gems. Color change garnet is another stone that changes color when light is switched between daylight and incadescent light. Another color change that is visible in certain gems like iolite is diochroism or pleochroism. With this property a gem shows different colors when viewed from different angles. An iolite gemstone can show a deep saturated color from one angle, view the stone from another angle and you will see an almost colorless side of the stone.

When it comes to treating gemstones, various methods like radiation, heat treatment, oil treatment, wax treatment have been known for decades. As gemstones become rarer and prices move up, gem manufacturers have devised new methods to treat gemstones for color and clarity. Some of these treatments are unfortunately not explained to the buyer. The gem dealer then charges a high price for a treated gem that should be worth at least 90% less than the price at which it is really sold. This is the sad side of the gemstone and jewelry industry.

Rather than concentrate on making sales, this online gem stone resource tries to educate buyers. Honest and straightforward information is provided in simple language.

The Theme And Concept Is Important, Pendants For Men

Importance Of Concept In Men’s Pendants.

The price and even metal with which a mens pendant is made is something that is secondary. A recent report published brought up some interesting and useful bits of information. Men when looking for their pendant already have a meaning and significance attached to the jewel. For example, a man looking for a religious pendant already knows that he needs a cross pendant. It is unlikely that he would change his mind even though he came across an excellent dragon pendant. So the concept and theme for a man pendant is something the buyer already has in mind.

The second issue that men will consider when choosing a gold or sterling silver pendant is the basic dimensions of the jewel. Expect mens pendants to have larger dimensions as compared to ladies pendants. For example, a cross pendant for a man would be in the 2 to 3 inch size range. On the other hand, a ladies cross pendant might be in the 1 to 1.5 inch range. Durability has always dominated the discussion for mens jewellery, the same is true of mens pendants too. Good metal weight proportionate to the dimensions of the pendant is important. Combine this with the fact that mens pendants would be quite large and you will agree that, gold pendants can carry stiff price tags. This does not pose much of a problem for men, since over 70% of the mens pendants sold each year are made in silver and not gold. If the meaning and significance of the pendant are intact and the dimensions satisfy him, a man is more than willing to give up gold and embrace silver.

When it comes to stones and diamonds, similar trends have been followed. While birth stone rings are quite popular among men, not much of gems and diamonds is seen in good mens pendants. Plain silver pendants are what men prefer the most. Textures and other surface finishings add to the interest of such plain pendants for men. The pebble texture of the MPN12 Kaisilver mens cross pendant was what pushed up the demand for this jewel. Another interesting concept about this pendant is that, the front and back have the same design.

Talking about meaning of men’s pendants, one should remember that it was the story behind the Kaisilver Hayabusa pendant that gave it market attention. While the concept originated in Japan, you can today see both gold and silver Hayabusa pendants made by Kaisilver being worn across the globe. This supports the claims made by the mens pendant report we talked about earlier. Hayabusa is the name of a falcon, this bird is well known for it’s speed and accuracy in catching it’s prey. Suzuki the automobile manufacturer used this concept and named a motorcycle with the same name, hayabusa. When the Japanese government was looking for a name for one of it’s critical space missions, the name hayabusa was given preference. The mission was launched to study the movement on the planet from above.

Every Single Stone Handpicked And Custom Cut

Custom Cut Gems From Directstones.com

Most of the gem providers you come across today are interested in volume orders. This is even more true when it comes to gems like amethyst, smoky quartz, citrine, red garnet, blue topaz because these gems are not very high priced stones. Buyers who need single piece gems that are specifically cut for their designs or metal mountings need small quantities. In many cases, the requirement could be a single piece gem that is cut to specific dimensions. Very few gem providers cater to such requirements.

You might come across gem sellers offering single piece gems but, these will be from leftover stock or a fixed set of inventory items. They do not have access to rough stones and surely do not custom cut the gemstones themselves. Directstones.com is set up to cater to the needs of this neglected and ignored group of buyers.

Pink Sapphire, Pink Tourmaline and Kunzite. Pink Gems To Choose From

Pink Gem Stone Rings, Understanding Pink Gems.

There are few ways in which you could choose a pink gem stone ring. One way would be to fix a budget for a gold or silver pink gem stone ring, then try to find such a ring that suits your budget. In this case you might not have a specific pink stone in mind and any pink gemstone might suffice. Another way would be to have a particular gem in mind, the next step would be to find designs and dimensions that interest you. There would ofcourse be the issue of cost to be considered and evaluated.

Over 80% of jewelry buyers adopt one of the above approaches when deciding on making a jewelry purchase. There is however one more critical issue that you should think about. Is the gemstone that you have in mind sturdy and stable? Are you so particular about a specific gem that you will accept it even if some features of the gem are not very good? For example, you could have thought of buying a kunzite gem stone ring. You might then come across some important information about Kunzite, the fact that it suffers from the problem of color fade over time. Would you still go for the Kunzite gemstone ring? Would you rather analyze a few more pink gemstones and change your gemstone choice?

If you have a specific design in mind and intend to use if for your pink gem ring, a few things need to be kept in mind. Let us presume that the design that you would like to have for your gold or silver pink stone ring needs a 3 to 4 carat gemstone. You could consider a Kunzite, Pink Tourmaline and probably Morganite for this ring. Pink sapphire gems in this size can be very expensive and would shoot off the budget for most of us. On the other hand if you need a pink gem ring that has a number of pink stones set in the ring, it is unlikely that these gems would be large. In this case pink sapphires with their high degree of hardness could be possible.

Enhancing The Meaning Of A Men

Cross Wedding Ring For Men

The MH-02 shows a sturdy mens wedding ring with a cross. The design of this mens wedding ring has been thoroughly researched and analyzed. By keeping gems and diamonds away from this cross mens wedding ring, more budget has been allocated to metal weight. This will provide the buyer with many benefits over the years. A healthy metal weight adds to the longterm life of a jewel. Kaisilver custom makes every single jewel, you can therefore request for ring size, band width and even metal according to your preference.

If you thought of getting a gold mens cross ring, 14k white or yellow gold is a good choice. This is because 14k gold is harder than 18k gold and this increases the longterm durability of your ring. There is also a chance that a gold cross mens wedding ring would be beyond the budget of many jewelry lovers. You can therefore request for a similar ring to be produced in sterling silver for you. While many jewelers are not keen on accepting single piece custom silver jewelry orders, Kaisilver has constantly worked to produce good quality custom made jewelry in gold or sterling silver.

Let us talk a bit about the way the cross has been provided in this impressive ring. As you can see from the image, the cross on this ring is etched into the metal. It is also possible to request for the same ring with a cross that is raised over the band. This might not be a good idea as the raised cross could hit against hard objects. There is one very interesting design suggestion from the Kaisilver and this is to cut the cross right through the ring. While the mens cross ring is shown here with a slightly bulging band design (slight barrel shape), you can have a straight band that does not curve. It is a good idea to have all details of a jewel before you make a purchase, so read the full report on the MH-02 at http://www.man-wedding-ring.com/mens-cross-wedding-rings-mwr-01.htm

The gold weight is almost twice of what other jewelers would provide, and with good reason. Your Kaisilver sapphire ring will last longer and be in better shape as the years go by. When it comes to the gemstone, we ensure that every pink sapphire ring is set with a gem that gives value for what the buyer pays.

Jadeite Has Tranluscence, Nephrite Is Generally Opaque.

Color Enhancement Of Jadeite. Provides Good Jade At Affordable Price.

The gemological world groups jadeite and nephrite in the category of jade. Jadeite is generally more transluscent as compared to nephrite. Much brighter colors of green can be observed in jadeite as compared to nephrite. The JDN001 jade shown above is jadeite that has been dyed to enhance color. The truth is that more than 80% of the jadeite that is used in jewelry is dyed for color enhancement. The dyeing process increases the color saturation of the stone and also ensures better uniformity of color. The treatment of gems for color and clarity enhancements are widely practised for many gems, not just for jade. 99% of the tanzanite gems that reach the gems and jewelry trade are heated for color enhancement. Over 95% of the emeralds used in jewelry are treated with natural oils to increase lustre and transparency.

So if we are willing to accept the dyeing of jadeite as a normal process, we need to discuss the issue of stability of the color for dyed jade gems. In the first place, we need to understand why dyeing is done for jadeite. To understand this we need to draw a reference to the pricing of jadeite. The JDN001 jadeite gem from Kaisilver has been handpicked and custom cut, it has also gone through a thorough testing process to ensure color stability. The gem is priced at under 10 U.S$ per piece. This is cheap considering the fact that a similar jadeite that is untreated would be priced at around 800 U.S$ to 1,200 U.S$ per piece! So dyed jadeite brings this romantic and soothing gem stone within the reach of many more gem and jewelry lovers.
