Even though bigger may seem

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008


Even though bigger may seem better when it comes to diamonds and rare gems, this isn’t always the case. In fact, as important as carat weight may be, it is not the only important determining factor when evaluating a stone’s value. Jewelers also look at a gemstone’s clarity, cut and color. In this article however, we’ll focus exclusively on the carat and how it affects a gem stone’s value.

First, it’s important to remember that a carat is a measurement of weight, not size. A larger stone may be less dense and therefore have a lower carat weight than a smaller stone. Also, different stones have different carat weights, so a one-carat ruby will not be the same size as a one-carat sapphire.

Typically, diamonds are cut to similar proportions, meaning generic diamonds of a particular carat weight tend to be more or less the same size. For example, if someone wants a one-carat, round diamond, they’ll usually get a diamond that’s about 6.5 millimeters across the top, and if they want a two-carat, round diamond, it will be about 8.2 millimeters across.

But, what if the proportions are different? In addition to a stone’s density, how it’s cut (that is, its proportions) can also affect its size relative to carat weight. For example, if a cutter wants a very heavy carat weight, he will cut a stone deep to get the bulk of the weight in the bottom portion. This means the stone can look small, but still feel heav
Other examples include a stone that is cut with a shallow cut, usually done to bring out a lighter tone, which can make the gem appear larger despite its low carat weight.

Today, a carat is equal to approximately one-fifth of a gram and divisible by a hundred points. Typically, the higher the carat weight, the higher the price. In addition, certain carat weight levels carry particular price points. The difference in price between a 1.0 carat diamond and a .99 carat diamond is much greater than that between a .99 carat diamond and a .98 carat diamond.

For most everyday jewelry and stone buyers, asking for a specific size is going to be more effective than requesting a specific carat weight. Because of the discrepancies in sizes and proportions when it comes to carat measurements, you’re more likely to get the stone and style you want if you focus on the aesthetics of size and diameter instead.

Citrine, a form of quartz similar to amethyst, was one of the most prized gemstones in antiquity because of its rare occurrence in nature. When intense heat is applied to the gemstone amethyst, it is transformed into citrine. This can happen in nature when deposits of amethyst are near a heat source in the earth’s crust, but more often heat is applied industrially to create citrine. It can be transparent to translucent, and range in color from light yellow to golden brown. Naturally occurring citrine is usually a pale yellow, while citrine formed industrially is darker in color, with reddish tints.

White gold is routinely

Monday, July 7th, 2008


White gold is routinely alloyed down with nickel. Nickel causes allergic reactions in a lot of people.
It’s probably showing up now, because your ring was plated in rhodium (the whitest member of the platinum family) when you bought it. This is normal, as white gold always has a little warmth to it, so it is almost always plated in rhodium.

The rhodium has worn off. The white gold, alloyed with nickel is in direct contact with your skin. You are reacting to the nickel. One easy solution is to bring the ring in to the jeweler where you purchased it and have it replated with rhodium. Or, you could trade the ring in for a white gold ring that does NOT contain nickel, a palladium ring or a platinum ring.
The metal rhodium is essentially inert to the skin, hypoallergenic, no reaction. What the reaction could be is a basic metals reaction and that SHOULD NOT be happening if the rings have a real rhodium plate.

My suggestion? Contact QVC and tell them of the problem. They should either give your money back or replace the item with one with a real rhodium plate!
Green is a reaction generally to base metals, such as copper, etc., which are either preplate(done beneath the rhodium on metals like silver) or part of the the meatal alloy the ring is made of.

Either the plate is not rhodium or is a poor job at plating. QVC owes you an answer on this one and your may use my answer when you contact them if you want.
Without seeing the ring and actually examining it, I can say little about the ring itself.

“Temporary Fix. Recommended for you to Try:
Rhodium is a hard and durable white metal. Most white gold is given a quick plated layer of rhodium when brand new or when repaired.

This thin layer of rhodium gives the metal a whiter look. Rhodium is also a metal that does not react with the skin. A local jeweler should easily be able to refinish, buff up nicely and rhodium plate your ring. The look is good. The advantage to you is the rhodium provided a safety layer between the nickel in the ring and your sensitive skin! The rhodium works very well when the plating is done correctly. You can expect the rhodium to wear off in time but you should get 6mos to a year of wear before the ring should be plated with rhodium again. We often do this service for ladies who love white gold earrings but have problems. With yellow gold problems, we plate the parts touching the skin and it works until the rhodium eventually wears away.”

Okay, first of all

Friday, June 27th, 2008

 

Okay, first of all, what is wrong with you that you have to get cheap on jewelry? Wouldn’t it be better to simply not buy any jewelry at all? Of course, maybe you want to send that special message to a loved one and you just don’t have the money to buy expensive items.

It all depends on circumstance, but buying cheap jewelry can be a slippery slope and if the reasons are not good, you could find yourself right out of a relationship.

Jewelry, as we know, comes at a very high cost usually. Rings, necklaces and earrings with gemstones like diamonds in them often run at hundreds of dollars in price. Naturally, it can be very hard for many of us to afford that.

If you do decide to go cheap on jewelry, make sure you do it right.

First of all, tell the person you bought the jewelry for that you did in fact buy it cheap, but if you have a good reason like “I just wanted to do something special for you but I didn’t have the money”, then you should be okay. However, if you are just buying it because you don’t want to spend a lot, then don’t bother, she will know. Honesty in a relationship is the best policy, so go with it.

Don’t buy poor quality. There are many items of jewelry out there that are cheap, but their quality is half-way decent and you won’t have to worry that the ring you bought her is going to start losing chips of gold paint only a few days after you buy it. Often, jewelry stores will carry lower-end jewelry that is still of a decent quality. Take a look at those and tell the store owner what your price range is. Most will be more than happy to find the right item for your budget.

Go to a second hand shop since, sadly, in our society there will often be nice rings on display that had to be hawked to pay bills or other expenses. You can at least benefit by buying a very nice ring, for a very cheap price.

If you can, don’t buy anything cheap, especially an item of jewelry that symbolizes your love. However, if you just have to show why you care, then at least do it right and you won’t be in trouble with your loved one who thought you didn’t care enough to buy a quality item.
Pearls have been in existence for millions of years, long before the dinosaurs were walking the planet. About 6000 years ago the Egyptians were using mother of pearl in their jewelry, however it wasn’t until 500 B.C. that they discovered the beauty of the pearl. China on the other hand, recorded the use of pearls as far back as 2300 B.C. where it was exclusively used by royalty.
Wholesale jewelry store can provide the perfect choice for wedding jewelry. China is now the top producers of these gems. There are some samples, for example pearl necklace, cultured pearl necklace, multi-strand necklace, wholesale pearl beads, cheap pearl bracelet, wholesale pearl earings, wholesale pearl pendant and single pearl necklace, opera or rope necklace though, that you need to look into when getting quality pearl jewelry, in any way you can look for some informations on the internet, in there you will find what you want, very interesting.

There is a difference difficult

Friday, May 23rd, 2008


There is a difference difficult to describe. The comparison of the nacre of a pearl to the fake surface is a good indication for use at home, following your teeth, of course. Again, look for the rising or falling surface at the drill holes, like a “painted surface” has sunk into the hole or been pulled up from it.

Even the jewelers are fooled once in a while but not often. Have you seen Mabe pearls? These are the large ‘half pearls’ often seen in rings and pendants. Some years ago some really good fakes hit the market and were being sold at very competitive prices — that is, compared to the real ones. Many were sold and bought as the real thing! The testing for these required disassembly of the fake mabes plus solvent and acid tests. A lot of buyers were taken in on this one, likely never to know they bought and later sold fake mabe pearls.

If you get pearls and you are not sure if they are fake or real and you have a hard time to tell them apart, go to you closest jewelry store and talk to them. See if they can run some of the test that I just menched to you. They will be able to tell you if the pearls are fake or not. But like is said it is very hard to tell some of the real ones from the fake ones. You need to be careful when you are shopping around for any kind of jewelry and make sure that you go to a jewelry store that you know are good.

If you like pearl earrings, you’re not the only one. Pearls enjoy a long history and have appeared in art, literature and music. They have adorned kings as well as criminals and have continued to enjoy a kind of popularity that has not waned to this day.
