 Mens Claddagh Ring Gemstone Options Queries related to mens emerald claddagh rings are received each week by the Kaisilver support team. Jewelry buyers are interested in knowing whether, an emerald is suitable for a mens gold or 925 silver claddagh ring. At first we would like to clarify that, Kaisilver claddagh rings for men are available with all gem options - this means that you can order a mens claddagh ring in sterling silver or gold with an emerald gem too. However when you talk about the suitability of an emerald for a mens claddagh ring, we need to explain a bit more clearly. This brief report will try to cover all essential issues in simple and non technical jargon.
 An important and interesting thing about gem pricing is that, the price of a gem need not always reflect it's level of durability and stability. So an emerald gem stone is several times more expensive as compared to a blue topaz but, a blue topaz is much more sturdy and durable as compared to an emerald. The EMN-01 is a heart shaped emerald that can surely be set in a mens silver or gold claddagh ring but, just read this report before you rush to order.
The MAN33 mens claddagh ring is shown in yellow gold with a black onyx gem stone, you could ofcourse order the same claddagh ring for men with an emerald gemstone. The design structure of the mens claddagh ring from Kaisilver gives a firm mounting to the gemstone. You can see that the entire border of the gem is covered with metal, this reduces the chances of the gem getting damaged through side impact. Having said that, we would like to explain that certain inherent properties of emerald gems, make them prone to getting damaged or cracked. We will repeat that men, do not take as much care of the jewelry that they wear as compared to the ladies. With this fact in mind, the possibility of the emerald in a mens claddagh ring getting hit by hard objects is a cause for worry.
There could be situations where you will need to get a mens claddagh emerald ring, for example if you were interested in the claddagh mens ring with the birthstone for May. Emerald is the birthstone for May and in this case no other gemstone would do. What we would suggest is that you go for a medium grade emerald claddagh mens ring, keep the gem size at around 8mm - invest the rest of your budget on good metal weight. More details on mens claddagh rings can be reviewed at http://www.newsletter.kaijewels.com/mens-claddagh-ring-info-kj-01-2808.htm spend some time understanding the various options and issues. If you have any more doubts or queries, email our support experts at sales@kaisilver.com they will be glad to assist you even if, you are not making the purchase from us.

 Can Emeralds Be Cleaned In An Ultrasonic Cleaner
The image above shows an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner, it is one of the common devices used to clean gemstones and jewelry. When turned on, an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner generates high frequence ultrasonic waves. The jewelry or gems placed in the jewelry cleaner, gets cleaned as any dust or dirty clinging to the jewel or gemstone is 'loosended' by the ultrasonic waves. This seems like a fairly harmless process we however, need to understand what happens when emeralds are put in the ultrasonic cleaner.
There are two facts related to emeralds that influence the effect that ultrasonic cleaners have on emerald gems and jewelry. The first is the fact that all emeralds have natural fissures and cracks. It is not uncommon for some of these fissures to extend right up to the surface of the gemstone. Even if they are below the surface, they could be just too near to the surface. Another thing about emeralds is that, they are almost always (98% of the time), treated with natural oils. The natural oils seep into the fissures and softens their visibility. This is responsible for imporving the beauty and lustre of the gemstone. Let us know analyze these 2 facts and relate it to the cleaning of emerald gems in ultrasonic cleaners.
When the emerald gemstone is put into the ultrasonic jewelry cleaner and the device turned on, the ultrasonic waves pass through the gem. They could expand the fissures and cracks in the emerald, this effect could be so severe that the gemstone could break into pieces. The oils in the emerald put there by the enhancing treatment could also be pushed out of the fissures and ooze out of the gemstone. This is surely not good for the emerald and will negatively affect it's beauty. This is why emeralds should not be cleaned in ultrasonic cleaners.
This report has been summarized from the complete report about cleaning an emerald gem stone in an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner. You can read the complete report at http://www.emerald.directstones.com/cleaning-emeralds-ultrasonic-cleaner-info-ds-01.htm You are also welcome to contact our support experts at sales@kaisilver.com if you have any queries or requirements related to gemstones or jewelry.

 Emerald Mens Ring, The MAN71 Kaisilver Emerald Ring For Men
Emerald mens rings are not as common as mens sapphire or ruby rings and there could be many reasons for this. Green color gems are not very popular with men. However a man is very likely to change his mind about green stones if he comes across an emerald. One of the reasons why you might want to get an 18k or 14k mens emerald ring is because, the gemstone is your birthstone. If you were born in the month of May, an emerald gemstone ring would represent your birth stone. Mens emerald gemstone rings are also worn for the many traditions and beliefs that are attached to the gemstone. There is a tremendous amount of folklore attached to emeralds, after all it is a gem that has been known to man for many centuries.
We normally recommend durability as the top factor when it comes to mens rings and jewelry. The reason is that, men do not take sufficient care of the jewelry that they wear. Going by this criteria, an emerald mens ring would not be as tough as a ruby or sapphire ring for men. One of the reasons for this is the internal inclusions and fissures that are present in ALL emeralds. This makes it more likely for the gemstone to crack or chip with physical impact. It is for this reason that it is not recommended to wear an emerald mens ring when doing heavy physical activity.
However the design and structure of an emerald ring for men can be planned to reduce the chances of the gemstone being damaged. The MAN71 Kaisilver men's emerald gemstone ring is a good example of how this can be achieved. This ring has a researched design that put together more than a half a dozen gemstone and jewelry experts. By keeping the gemstone size modest (6mm square) the ring reduces the chances of the emeralds hitting hard objects like tables, doors etc. You will also notice that the gems in this men's gem stone ring do not protrude too much beyond the surface of the ring. It is quite easy to imagine how a highly protruding stone could hit agains hard objects and get damaged. The gem mounting where the entire stone is bordered with metal also gives protection to the edges of the stone.
Another fact about all emeralds is related to the oil treatment applied to the gemstone. Most jewelers do not reveal this fact to the buyer but it is something that you should be aware of. The gem in your gold or silver emerald ring would be treated with natural oils, this is true no matter where you buy the ring from. More than 95% of the emeralds used by the gems and jewelry sector are treated with oils. The oils seep into the internal fissures of the gemstone and reduce their visibility, this also helps add lustre to the emerald. Though there are some claims made about the gemstone being strengthened by the oil treatment, there is no clear research to support this claim. However what you need to understand about the oil treatment of emeralds relates to the condition of the oils. The beauty of the gemstone is indeed enhanced by this treatment, and anything that affects the oils can therefore affect the beauty of the gemstone. You should therefore keep your mens emerald ring away from strong chemicals, solvents or even prolonged soaking in water. Keeping or wearing an emerald gemstone ring near a heat source can also dry up the oils and cause the gem to become dull. Though no jeweler would care to tell you this, it is a very important factor that could help you make a buying decision so do keep it in mind.
The Kaisilver support team at sales@kaisilver.com can give you all the information and guidance you need related to any gemstone or jewel. You need not make any purchase from us to get the benefit of our expertise so do contact them for all your requirements.

Claddagh Rings With Green Gemstones.
Many jewelry buyers know of just one green gem stone and that is an emerald. Since emerald gems give jewelers a tidy profit margin, no one is eager to educate buyers regarding other options for green gemstone claddagh rings. If you were looking for peridot or emerald because of them being birthstones then there is no need for looking at other green gems. However if you are willing to consider other stones for your green gemstone claddagh ring it is important to know the other options open to you.
Emerald are gorgeous gems however they are also quite expensive. So there is no issue if your budget can handle the price of an emerald claddagh ring. Other green gemstone options could include a green tourmaline. This gemstone is much darker than an emerald and costs much less than an emerald too. If you need a mens claddagh ring with a green gemstone, green tourmaline should be one of your top choices. It has good durability and men love the dark green shade of this gem stone. Do not go for chrome diopside which can sometimes closely resemble green tourmaline. This gemstone is quite soft and can break or scratch easily. In our honest opinion chrome diopside should not be set in rings, as the higher rate of wear and tear for rings can damage a chrome diopside.
An affordable green gemstone could also be peridot, a gemstone that was historically mistaken for an emerald! This gemstone has good clarity and is priced much lower than green tourmaline. This gemstone would be much brighter than the stone in a claddagh emerald ring so keep that in mind. Jade is also one option that you can consider. This gemstone can have a mild transluscence but you should better expect it to be opaque. Consider the fact that the first application to which man put jade to was in making weapons and tools and you will realize that, jade does not lack on toughness. It's internal structure of numerous microcrystalline fibres makes it very tough and durable. This despite the rather moderate hardness rating assigned to jade.
We have covered the main options for a green gemstone claddagh ring. Other examples of green stones are malachite, demantoid garnet (very expensive in sizes beyond 4mm), green apatite and even aventurine. Kaisilver jewelry is custom made with gem stones of your choice so you can request for any gemstone on this planet. We will gladly procure and custom cut the stone for you. A full report on green gemstone options for a claddagh ring can be seen at http://www.customjewels.net/green-gemstone-claddagh-rings.php

 Emerald Gem Stone Color, Effects Of Oil Treatment On Gem Color
The color of emerald is basically green though some emeralds can show a slight bluish color hue too. You could say that the natural color of this gem stone is green. Every gem is gifted with a natural color. Gemstone manufacturers put most gems through special color treatment processes. These treatments try to alter or enhance the natural color of the gem stone. The commonly known color enhancement treatments for gems are heat, radiation and ofcourse dyeing. When it comes to the color of emerald gems, the idea is to retain the green color but try to make it seem more saturated. To do this, an oil treatment method was devised many decades ago. The oil treatment also helps soften the visibility of fissures in the emerald besides improving the basic color of the gem. You can safely presume that over 95% of the emeralds used in jewelry today are treated with oils. The important thing is that many gemstone buyers are not aware of this oil treatment. The reason why you should be aware of this treatment is because it will affect the way in which an emerald gem stone jewel should be worn, stored or cleaned. Just remember that the beauty of an emerald gem including the color of the stone is dependent on the oils in the gem. If anything happens that destroys or dries up the oil in your emerald gemstone, the beauty and lustre of the gem would be compromised. The information on this report is based on the Directstones report related to gemstone colors. The Directstones online gemstone resource is initiated by Kaisilver the world's leading online custom jewelry provider. The idea is to take care of gemstone buyers who are unaware of important issues related to gemstones. The http://www.directstones.com/ resource also provides custom cut gems to small gem buyers. The rush for wholesale gemstone orders has neglected the needs of buyers small quantities, even single piece gemstones. You can get any gemstone custom cut to your requirements of size and shape through Directstones.

Sterling Silver Emerald Rings, Essential Information.
When you talk about sterling silver emerald rings, there are some important things that you should know. Unfortunately all these bits of information are not easily available as jewelers prefer not to fully educate buyers. The idea is that, an ill informed buyer is easy to convince. While this might sound like a selfish attitude it is abundant in the gems and jewelry trade. So to take the first step in educating you regarding silver emerald rings, the team from Kaisilver has compiled this detailed list. Not much sales talk here, you will need to jump to the Kaisilver website link provided below if you want to see some merchandise.
What is sterling silver: This should obviously be the first question that should be answered. Thai silver jewelry is sold in large volumes each year. Much of it is marked sterling silver or 925 for short, you might even come across silver jewelry from Thailand that is marked 92.5%. If your emerald silver ring is sold to you as a sterling silver ring, it should have a silver purity that is at least 92.5%. The remaining 7.5% could be other metals alloyed into the silver. So why not get an emerald silver ring that has a 100% silver purity? The fact is that silver in it's purest form is too soft to be made into jewelry. Even if you do manage to produce an emerald gem stone ring in sterling silver, it would hardly be durable and dent or scratch easily. So the next time you see a 925 or 92.5 or sterling silver label on a silver ring, remember that the purity should be 92.5% of silver.
Will sterling silver tarnish: This needs to be explained very clearly. Many buyers of silver jewelry from Thailand or other sources have one frantic complaint. They believe that 'good' silver will not tarnish, so sterling silver emerald rings should not tarnish too. The point is that tarnish is native to silver, all silver will tarnish and this includes sterling silver too. There are ways and means to reduce tarnish and to polish tarnish too but, remember that silver jewelry will tarnish. An anti tarnish plating might keep away tarnish for a while but will soon wear off and leave the jewel looking ugly and patchy.
Suitability for emerald rings: The Kaisilver explanation for this is very clear and simple. Can we make a sterling silver emerald ring? Yes we can and make it very well too. Do we recommend sterling silver emerald rings? The general answer is no. The reason is that the natural oil treatment provided for all emeralds by all jewelers and the natural fissures present in emeralds make the gem a bit weak. Strong chemicals or processes used to clean tarnish on your emerald silver ring can damage the emerald stone. We would therefore not recommend a sterling silver emerald ring. But in cases where buyers are on a very tight budget or are in some way allergic to gold, silver might be the only option.
The above details will answer most of your queries related to silver emerald rings. The Kaisilver website offers some excellent selections of custom silver and gold jewelry. You can see the informative page at http://www.custom-jewelry-thailand.com/silver-jewelry-thailand-01.htm

 Emerald Rings With Many Gems
There could be many reasons for combining gems in an emerald gold ring or for that matter in any other jewel. For one thing, mixing gems in a single ring allow you to create fancy and interesting color combinations. Have a look at the RG216 emerald gold ring, this gorgeous ring combines emerald, rubies and white opals in the same ring. The natural green color of the emerald is gaurded on either side by genuine rubies from Burma. Move a little towards the side and you will notice two pear shaped white opals mined from the Australian opal mining fields. Just thinking about the origins of these fascinating gems could add interest to this emerald gold ring. Brazilian emeralds, combined with Australian opals sitting calmly next to Burmese rubies! Not every one combines gems in jewels just for good looks. For example, the emerald gold ring shown above was created to include the birth stones of all family members. The ring was then gifted as a mother's family birth stone ring. Gemstones also hold special meaning for many people. For examples, rubies are supposed to signify love and passion. Emeralds trigger a feeling of peace and calm. Opals are supposed to bring peace of mind and are often worn to rid the mind of conflicting thoughts and suspicions. Besides the external appearance of gems, combining gems in a jewel can also change the way in which the jewel would be cleaned, worn or stored. For example, of all the gems shown in the above gold emerald ring, the rubies require the least caring and fussing. Rubies along with sapphires have good durability, their hardness comes a close second to diamonds which are the hardest gems used in conventional jewelry making. Opals love moisture and much of their beauty is due to the natural moisture that is present in opals. So opals do not mind be dipped in water once in a while! Water would do the rubies no harm too, but emerald are different. All opals including the opal in the above ring are treated with natural oils. This was a technic known to manking several centuries ago. The oils soften the visibility of natural fissures in emerald, this helps to increase the clarity and lustre of the emerald. Do not believe any gem stone dealer if they say that the emeralds they sell are not oil treated. Soaking your emerald ring in water can cause the water to seep into the emerald. Remember that all natural emeralds have fissures and inclusions. If water enters the stone, it would destroy the oils used to treat the emerald gemstone. Not many jewelers woud provide you with clear information about gems and jewelry. Most jewelers prefer to push the buyer to make a buying decision without getting complete information. At Kaisilver we believe that educating the buyer is the best way to make a win-win transaction. Get to know more about the above emerald gold ring by reading, complete report on the RG216 emerald ring from Kaisilver.

Let us presume that you have an emerald gemstone and would like to make a mounting for the gem. You would need a gemstone mounting to fit that gemstone, custom making jewelry is an expensive affair in the U.S and most of Europe. You would most likely search on the Internet and try to find a reputed online jeweler who can make a suitable gemstone mounting for your emerald gemstone. Before you finalize the transaction there are a few things that you should be aware of, these will save you a lot of worry and problems later on.
(a) Firstly, agree on the design for the emerald ring. The jeweler can send you images or sketches of how the gemstone mounting would look like. Jewelers often require a certain proportion of the payment to be made before revealing sketches and design concepts. This is to avoid a situation where, you take the design concepts from one jeweler and then find another jeweler to make the gem stone mounting for you. It does seem fair that you make a portion of the payment to ensure that you remain commited to the transaction.
(b) Specify complete information regarding the gemstone to the jeweler. To make an accurate gem stone mounting that will be just right for the gemstone, the jeweler will need to know the shape, size and cut of the gemstone. Details like round 8mm emerald, are not complete. The depth of the gemstone and the type of cut will also be required. A conventionally faceted gemstone and a smooth cabachon cut gemstone will need different types of prongs or mountings. Not providing the depth of the gemstone could give you a gemstone mounting that is either too deep or too shallow for your emerald gem stone ring.
(c) If you are considering sending the emerald to the jeweler who will be making the gemstone mounting for your emerald ring, discuss the issue of shipping charges and decide who will bear the shipping charges. It is quite likely that you might not feel comfortable to send an expensive emerald gemstone to a jeweler that you never met. So choose a jeweler with whom you can work with confidence.
(d) Jewelers are sometimes worried about receiving gemstones from buyers. On their part, buyers feel that jewelers who do not like to work with buyer gems are just looking for higher profits. Reality is a bit different as even honest jewelers are a bit scared to receive gems from buyers. It is likely that the buyer with little knowledge of the emeralds, does not know whether the emerald is genuine or a fake. The jeweler might run into a problem if the emerald ring is later checked and appraised by the buyer and it turns out that the emerald was a fake. The buyer might realize too late that, the emerald was not worth the price that was paid for it. If these problems crop up, the buyer will suspect that the jeweler switched gems when making the emerald ring! It is ofcourse likely, that the emerald was a fake right from the start and that the loose gemstone seller who sold the emerald had actually cheated the buyer.
The idea of writing this article is to present the issue from the view point of the buyer and the jeweler. Both might be honest and innocent and yet they could end up accusing each other of dishonesty and fraud. The only way to avoid such situtations is for the buyer to choose a jeweler who can be trusted. In an ideal case, it would be best if the emerald ring could be fully made by a single jeweler. This would put complete responsibility on the jeweler and the buyer would end up being more satisfied and more safe. You should spend some time reading the complete report on gemstone mountings at this link: http://www.newsletter.kaijewels.com/gemstone-mountings.htm or read the Kaisilver jewelry newsletter and stay updated on these and other useful and interesting issues related to gemstones and jewelry: http://www.newsletter.kaijewels.com/news007.htmTags: gem stone mounting gold, gemstone mounting, gemstone mounting online, gold mounting for emerald gem stone, mounting for emerald gem stone, silver gem stone mounting

 When you choose an emerald ring there are a few things that you should know. The first is that, all emeralds have inclusions and fissures. This is irrespective of the price that you pay for your emerald ring. The emerald gemstone is technically not a soft stone, a hardness rating of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale is quite impressive. However, the fissures in the gemstone could make the gemstone crack with physical impact. Emeralds are also expensive, the price of the emerald increases as the size of the gem stone increases. This also means that a good quality emerald will be priced lower per carat if the size of the gem stone is small. With this information observe the RG153 Kaisilve emerald ring shown above. This ring has an emerald gem stone that is neither too small nor too large. You can therefore get a good quality gemstone for this emerald ring at a modest price. The gemstone is 5mm round and this also reduces the chances of the gemstone getting damaged by physical impact. Small emerald gems can be found with fewer inclusions and fissures, this is another advantage of choosing an emerald ring with a small emerald gem stone. When we refer to a small emerald gemstone, it would mean an emerald in the size range of 5mm to 7mm. Small tiny emeralds of 2mm or 3mm and not the point of reference here.
