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.

You can also find diamond pendants that combined with other precious stones, like emerald, sapphire or ruby. Some styles are better if they used only at special occasions, whereas another style can be used in daily activity.

Usually diamond pendants are sold as a complete necklace. But sometimes, people don’t like the necklace that comes in package. For that reason, the jeweler usually allows customer to buy diamond pendants alone.

What is the advantage of buying diamond pendants as a gift? It is because you don’t need a reason to give diamond pendants to the person that special for you, you can give them because you just want to; you can do that anytime without have to wait for any special occasion or special events.

Ring Ruby - An Exotic Choice

By: Ted Crist

When you hear Ruby, the first thing that across your mind it must be a red stone. These guide will tell you a little about ruby and why you can use it as alternative ring beside diamonds rings or other precious stones.

Ruby itself is derived from the Latin word “ruber”, meaning red. Ruby has a level of 9.0 Moh’s hardness scale, one level under the diamond (10.0 Moh’s Scale) and classified as precious stones, besides diamond, sapphire and emerald.

Like diamonds, before you buy ring ruby, you must pay attention to 4 c (cut, clarity, carat and cut), but for ruby, just like other colored stones, the one that most important it is the color. Best color for ruby is rich in red, and not too much other colors.

What makes ring ruby so special it is the red color of ruby. Ruby Itself represents many things, mostly represents passion, romance, desire, wealth, health, bravery and power. Although it doesn’t have mystical power, but who owned ring ruby will feel positive energy when they wear it.

Ruby can be combined with many ring materials (gold, platinum, silver, etc). When Ruby combined with yellow gold ring, it will enhance its red color and will make it look more expensive.

Ring ruby is a perfect gift for the person who born in July and for the 15th or 40th wedding anniversary. Besides that, nowadays there’s more and more couple that use ring ruby for the alternative of their engagement ring.

Right now, the quality of fake ruby is getting better and better. We won’t notice it with a naked eye. So if you like the red color of ruby and want to wear it as the alternative jewelry, you may buy synthetic or simulant ruby, but you won’t get the sensation feeling of wearing ancient stone.
