Understanding Pearl Ring

By: Ted Crist

When you found this article, I suggest that you’ve been looking for pearl ring, either for yourself or for someone else that you love or care. Pearl ring popularity is not as high as diamonds rings or another gemstone. But, that makes the pearl ring is an exotic and unique piece of jewelry right?

Another advantage of pearl ring is you can give them as a gift anytime without have to wait for special occasions such as engagement or wedding ceremony. This article will help you to understand more about pearl ring before you buy it.

Oysters or mollusk produce some substance named “nacre” when some parasites enter their shells as defensive reaction. Layer by layer, the nacre coated the parasite to kill them and gradually created the pearls. That is how natural pearls made. But, not every oyster produces the pearl. Actually it’s rare, that’s why a perfect natural pearl is so expensive.

However, men don’t want to wait or search the oysters that contain pearl on it. So, they insert the intruder to the oyster shell to produce the pearl. The pearl that produced from this process called cultured pearl.

There are many colors for the pearl. White and cream are common pearl color we can find. The other colors are black, gold, green and blue. You can mix and match the pearl color with the ring color to get the ideal pearl ring for you, it just a matter of taste.

A good quality pearl ring must have these characteristic: #1. The pearl surface must show some reflection and not dull #2. They also must be free from taint and crack #3. The pearl must be shine in uniform throughout the pearl.

Before you buy the pearl ring, its better if you sure that the pearl it is a real one. You can use X-Ray to know the pearl it’s real or not. And not just that, you can also knows that the pearl is natural or cultured by using this method. If you don’t want to pay for X-Ray examination, you can do tooth test. You can rub the pearl on your teeth. If you fell a little bit rough that’s mean the pearl is real. If you fell smooth, then the pearl is imitation. You can also try to rub the pearl with another pearl. If it’s real, you’ll fell friction between the pearls. If it’s fake, you won’t feel a friction. However, this method is not always accurate, because sometimes you can find cultured pearl with smooth feeling just like the imitation.

The easiest way to get a real and good quality pearl ring is buying from trusted dealer. You can buy it from your local store or from the internet which is easier, convenient and provide more option to choose.

5 Reasons Why You Should Buy Titanium Ring

By Ted Crist

Around 15-20 years ago it’s almost impossible to find titanium ring. Even though titanium is widely used on manufacturing, from submarine to space shuttle, but it’s so rare to find titanium jewelry especially titanium ring.

But now, you can find titanium ring in many jewelry store, and you can find it so easy on the internet. A couple who want to get married also include titanium ring as their wedding rings selection besides gold and platinum. There are at least five reasons why titanium ring become so popular nowadays.

Reason #1: Because it’s not so common and exotic. Imagine you use space craft technology on your finger. How exotic is that! And also most people who buy titanium ring are really like the color. Usually the colors of titanium are grey, but there’s also black titanium and some anodized with another color.

Reason #2: Titanium is a durable material; it is strong but light weight. It has greater scratch resistance, won’t easily dent or ding compared to the gold, silver or any softer material. But if you buy colored titanium ring, just like any other colored metal, the color is vulnerable to scratch (but that also depend on the coloring technique and quality). So, it’s better if you buy uncolored titanium if you want more scratch resistance titanium ring.

Reason #3: Allergic reaction. If you have sensitive skin, you don’t have to worry to wear titanium ring, because titanium is hypoallergenic material, so it won’t react with human skin.

Reason #4: Corrosion free metal. Titanium ring won’t react with corrosive elements such as sea water. Practically you can wear the ring anywhere anytime.

Reason #5: Price. If you want to buy wedding ring, you can choose titanium ring as your selection. You can buy titanium wedding ring with a cheaper price compared to gold or platinum wedding ring. Many people buy gold ring because they think that they can sell it again if they need money. But the chance to sell your wedding ring is small right? So, don’t hesitate to buy titanium ring if you like it.

With all those advantage, now you know why titanium ring is so popular. If you curious about the quality why don’t you try to buy it one.

How To Choose Diamonds Rings For My Love?

By Ted Crist

Diamonds rings are always charming and special gift for your love one. Because they are so special, they often use as an engagement ring or as a wedding ring. However, with so many stores selling diamonds rings, choosing the right one can be tiring and confusing process. Before you buy the diamonds rings and to make it easier for you, it is better if do some research and understand several things.

First and most importantly, you must know your budget. Diamonds rings are an expensive thing. I know you want to make your love one happy by giving her the best diamonds rings you can afford. But, you must think about the cost for your wedding too right? So, it’s better if already know how much you will spend for your wedding ceremony and then you’ll know how much you can spend for the diamonds rings.

Second, you must find out about your love one taste. Is it she likes round diamonds cut, princess diamonds cut or maybe heart shape diamonds cut, etc. Also, is it she is an active person or not. If she is an active person, it’s better if you choose the diamonds rings setting or style that hold the diamonds strong, secure and not so raised above the ring surface, because you don’t want to lose your expensive diamonds while she do her activity right? After the diamond cut type and the ring settings, you should also know about her favorite color, is it she prefers white gold, yellow gold, or another ring material color. If you unsure about her taste, you can buy round cut diamonds rings with standard setting, nothing can be wrong with it as they commonly used. For the color, even though yellow gold is commonly used for engagement or wedding ring, but white gold is gaining its popularity nowadays. So, if you don’t know what the color or ring material that she likes, just choose based on your judgment or what you like.

And the last but not least is doing some comparison between different jewelry stores. To do this, you can do it online, as it saving your times, energy and cost. Learn a little about the diamond 4 C’s (Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat) to understand about the diamond quality. After that you can do your comparison and you will know if the stores are selling their diamonds rings too expensive or not based on the diamonds quality. If you want to buy expensive diamonds rings, I highly recommend you to buy the diamonds that have certificate from trusted grading lab such as GIA, AGS, and EGL.

After you do these research, I hope it make it easier for you to choose the best diamonds rings your love one (and for you too, because you are the one who spend the money :-) ). But, on top of that, don’t worry too much is she don’t like it, because she want to marry you because she love you, not the diamonds rings right?
