Executive Summary about Men’s Ring

By: Ted Crist

More and more men’s wear jewelry nowadays, they want to have fun too with jewelry. One of the jewelry that they used is men’s rings. Men’s ring must show either one or all of these: ruggedness, masculine, dangerous, pride, status, wealth and of course the beauty, because men’s also have a sense of beauty.

Men’s ring can help you to express yourself, to tell other what’s on your mind. For example if you wear men’s ring with soccer motif that means you are soccer mania. If you wear men’s ring with fishing motif that means you are fishing mania. This can help you to find your community, you don’t have to say “hi, I love fishing, do you love fishing too?” you don’t have to do that, because your ring already do that for you. Some universities also release the official ring for their alumnus.

The Material

Gold Ring. If you choose gold men’s rings, it is better if you buy 14K gold ring than 18K gold ring, because 14K gold ring is harder and stiffer. Silver Ring. Silver is quite soft material, it makes designer can easily create many models as they like; hence there is many models you can choose. Stainless Steel Ring is durable, hard to dent, the colors good (not easily tarnish and some report it doesn’t tarnish at all!), and for the bonus, the price is also affordable. Platinum Ring. Platinum is a white metal, and it looks like white gold ring, but harder, heavier and stronger. Platinum ring is a rare material, that what makes platinum rings so expensive. Titanium Ring. Titanium is a hypo-allergenic and corrosion free metal. This material is light weight but strong. Tungsten Carbide Ring. Tungsten carbide is the hardest material from all the material that used to make men’s ring (8 - 9 Mohs hardness scale, while diamond is 10). If you want scratch resistance ring, tungsten carbide ring is your best choice.

Emerald Diamond Cut - A Perfect Way to Show Off Your High Quality Diamond

By: Ted Crist

Emerald cut at the beginning is a type of cut that used on emeralds, but now applied on diamonds too. Emerald diamond cuts included in step cuts category, because it has 58 facets (25 crown, 25 pavilions, and 8 girdles) with broad, flat surface and forming like a steps of a stair. Normal length to width ratios for emerald diamond cut is 1.30:1 - 1.75:1.

Although emerald diamond cut is not as brilliant as round brilliant cut or princess cut, but the shapes gives more flashes of light. This can happen because emerald diamond cut have a wider, shinny area that reflected the light or act like a mirror. If you want to buy emerald diamond cut, I suggest you to buy a diamond that has good color, good clarity and good polish, because flaws and yellowish color will easily noticeable in emerald diamond cut. It is better if you buy certified diamond, because I found a fraud case that tells the customer that the diamond is ideal cut, but in reality there is no ideal cut for emerald cut type, and worst, the cut is far from good.

People said normally emerald diamond cut price is lower than round brilliant cut or princess cut with same quality, but in fact that is not 100% true. The production cost to make brilliant cut diamond is higher, but trends is one of major factor that determine the selling price and that what makes the emerald diamond cut is as expensive as brilliant diamond cut.

Carat, color and clarity are determined by nature, emerald diamond cut accentuate that beauty and also a perfect type of cut to show off your high quality diamonds.
