They say a diamond is a girls best friend, but it is hard to be best friends with something you are too worried about taking out in public. There are a lot of women that are not wearing their diamond engagement ringsbecause they are afraid they will lose the ring, it will be stolen from them or that they will damage it somehow. These fears are justifiable because the ring probably cost more than a months salary and there have been a lot of horror stories about things that have happened to fancy diamond engagement rings. However, not wearing the ring your man paid so much for does seem a little unfair.

What about an alternative? If you could find an engagement ring that gave you the look and the grace of a diamond, without actually being a diamond, would you be interested? With a moissanite engagement ring you will be able to afford a larger size stone than if you were to go with the over priced diamond. Your friends will be rather impressed! And since a lot of the newer moissanite engagement ring options are rather impressive looking, no one will be able to know that it is not a real diamond on your hand.

Also, you will be able to wear the moissanite ring just about everywhere you go because you will no longer have to live in fear of something happening to a ring. It really is silly to let a little piece of jewelry have so much control over your life. With a moissanite engagement ring, you will be able to show off your love any time and for however much you want. You won’t have to wait for super special occasions to wear the engagement ring.

In addition to all of these wonderful benefits for the woman wearing the ring, there is a benefit for the men as well. Since this is not a real diamond, the prices are much more affordable. There is no pressure to go bankrupt for the “perfect” ring. With the money saved, bills could be paid, groceries could be bought or maybe some money could be set aside for the wedding. It is never too early to start planning ahead for such things, especially since you are looking to buy an engagement ring.

If you are still not real sure about whether or not a moissanite engagement ring is right for you, try finding one that you can look at in person. See if you can spot the difference between the moissanite and the diamond. Most likely, you will not be able to. That right there may be enough.

That said, these are different stones, and some people only want the “real” diamond. So make sure to verify with your intended before buying one.

The Beauty of Amber Jewelry

June 29th, 2011 Posted by consor ; Posted at Gemstones

The simplest and at the same time most subjective evaluation of amber jewelry by a user of admirer is to say whether it is beautiful or not. Contemporary amber artifacts produced by artists initially tend to surprise us with their otherness, in the same manner as any other art does, for instance painting or sculpture, or jewelry ornamented with gemstones. But modernity means otherness.

The extremely exceptional so-called “amber in amber” may become dazzlingly beautiful in the hands of a skillful artist. To find or excavate amber with opalescent surfaces depends less on skills and more on luck. This, however, comes about very seldom.

Some people are interested only in amber as perfectly transparent as many other precious stones in which nothing is going on inside. In such a case a more opulent setting must compensate the lack of unique features.Raw amber for mass production started to be clarified and pressed as early as in the 19th century. Its color could be freely altered, often in order to make necklaces from beads in one shade of color and transparency.

The trend initiated at the end of the 1960s by the Fietkiewicz family in Gdynia was followed by other amber centers, resulting in a high standard of amber working in Poland today. The “gem of the north”, the most splendid beauty of which is revealed by artist’s mastery, is often left without any setting, like Neolithic and ancient artifacts. Some amber products, rich in amber shapes and varieties, like necklace beads, spherical or flat pendants, beads on leather strip or just hemp or cotton string, gain in additional value in this way. Nothing spoils the sheer beauty of amber; its mysterious interior is not rivaled by some alien even though most magnificent ornamentation of a setting.

One may never stop writing about amber and amber jewelry. The mineral’s charm never fades away, owing to its beauty and to its history so remote and ancient and at the same time ever more close to us. Its legends and magic always feel our very own.

8 Factors to Consider when Choosing Metals to Use in Jewelry Making: Workability

January 13th, 2011 Posted by consor ; Posted at Jewelry, Making Jewelry

While silver, gold, and platinum have some similarity in working characteristics, there are also distinct differences that should be considered when designing a piece of jewelry. All the metals are similar when sawing, filing, bending, or polishing, although silver does give less resistance to saw blade, file, or pliers — even well-annealed 18-karat yellow gold is harder to bend than sterling. And each alloy of gold will be slightly different, depending on the metals used in the alloy. For instance, many goldsmiths prefer using a white gold alloyed with palladium, a platinum group metal, rather than with nickel, because it is not so brittle.

As far as the workability of the metals is concerned, your choices when designing will depend to some degree on your skill level and the equipment available. If your design is for a large piece, you need to consider your torch capability. Gold, because it does not conduct heat very well, can be spot soldered with a small torch. Silver, on the other hand, needs to be heated evenly all over, and thus will require a larger flame. Platinum has its own techniques and equipment requirements, especially for casting. If you do not have the tools or experience, platinum will not be an option for you. Read more… »

It may sound a bit of a surprise, but the jewelry is not made of pure noble metals as in their original state they don’t often have the necessary properties. For instance, gold is too soft to work with. To give them the necessary mechanical properties and a wishful color nonferrous metals are brought into. Thus, we get different alloys, for example, that of gold with silver and copper, sometimes with palladium, nickel, zinc and cadmium.It is the precious metal content that determines the mark of quality.

In the USA, Britain and Switzerland the carat system is used. According to the carat system the 1000th mark of quality of the precious metal corresponds to 24 conventional units. In most European countries the metric system of the mark defining is used. It means that it is defined by the number of parts of the precious metal in 1000 weight units of the alloy.
