925 Silver Tanzanite Wedding Ring
Are Tanzanite Gems Suitable For Sterling Silver Rings
All Kaisilver Jewelry Is Custom Made In Gold or Sterling Silver With Gems Of Your Choice
Recent years have seen an increased demand for gold and silver tanzanite wedding rings. Increased interest in tanzanite rings also means a number of queries to be answered. On the one hand you have jewelers flashing extravagant yellow and white gold tanzanite wedding rings, on the other you have rising gold prices dampening the demand for gold wedding rings. What most buyers would like to know is whether 925 silver tanzanite wedding rings can be as good as, 14k or 18k tanzanite gold wedding rings. It would be nice to be able to answer this question with a short and simple 'yes' or 'no' type of response - but that would not really be good for the buyer. In this report we discuss various issues related to tanzanite silver rings. The contents should answer most of your doubts but, if you still need more information do email us at sales@kaisilver.com and our support team will be glad to assist you. With an honest effort to educate and inform gem and jewelry buyers, we really do not mind if you make no purchase from us.
Technical Implications: This is something that needs to be clearly explained, so we have put it on the top of our report. There is no technical problem in terms of design or production process, that prevents tanzanite gemstones being set in silver rings. Kaisilver has proved this in a constructive and explicit way, we can custom make just about any jewel for you in gold or 925 sterling silver. So you can request for your 925 silver tanzanite wedding ring to have a design of your own or, choose a design from our website.
Design: It is quite obvious that a ready made silver tanzanite ring will place limitations on the choice of design. On the other hand, a true custom made 925 silver tanzanite ring will have absolutely no restrictions on the design. At Kaisilver, your tanzanite silver ring can be custom made from your designs or ours. You could select any ring from our website and request for it to be made in silver with a tanzanite gem. If you select a ring with a very large gem stone, the cost of the tanzanite gem might push the jewel out of your budget. These things are manageable in a custom ring since, the dimensions of the jewel can be adjusted - while the design concept is retained.
Gem Quality: It is not uncommon for jewelers to use cheap or low grade gems, in 925 sterling silver tanzanite wedding rings or other tanzanite gem stone jewelry. To understand the reason behind this practice, we need to hear both sides of the story. Jewelers claim that buyers looking for silver tanzanite wedding rings, want cheap rings and push for low price or inexpensive tanzanite rings. Since tanzanite gems are available in various grades and lower grades are cheaper, jewelers set low quality tanzanite in sterling silver jewelry. The problem with using low grade stones in your tanzanite wedding ring is that, the stones could be highly included. Very pale color tanzanite shows almost no color, such gems are classified as low grade even if they are eye clean. So if you are hunting for a cheap tanzanite wedding ring, do not expect good quality gems. On the other hand if you are looking for a good quality tanzanite silver ring - keep in mind that it really cannot be cheap. The ring would surely be cheaper than a similar ring made in gold but, the gem component cost would remain the same. At Kai Silver each gem is handpicked and closely inspected before being custom cut. We do not restrict our gem selection to fixed inventories, this means that you get the best value for the money invested in your jewel.
Craftsmanship: Once again, though no technical reasons dictate that a tanzanite 925 silver wedding ring should have substandard craftsmanship. But again, buyer understanding is essential to this issue too. If you go for a mass produced silver tanzanite wedding ring, production is mechanized and machine operators rather than skilled craftsmen and artisans are employed. You therefore cannot expect fine craftsmanship for a tanzanite ring if it is of the wholesale jewelry type. Kaisilver custom makes all jewelry and uses the services of some of the best craftsmen and artisans. Our tanzanite 925 silver rings will not be cheap but, the quality will please even the most seasoned jewelry lover. Since a wedding ring is a special ocassion jewel and you have already chosen to moderate costs by going for silver, we would suggest that you do not compromise on quality and other aspects of the jewel.
Silver Tarnish: Like all other silver jewelry your tanzanite gem stone silver wedding ring will tarnish. This is a natural occurence in silver where, the metal takes on a slight color change on the surface. The good thing is that silver polish lotions and even silver polish fabric are available to polish and take of silver tarnish. It is best to polish your silver tanzanite ring just as the tarnish starts to appear, it will be easier to clean and not require professional handling. When you have finished polishing the silver tanzanite wedding ring, rinse it in clean running water. This will take of any residue that remains stuck the metal or the gemstone.
To Plate or Not To Plate: You could say that this issue is related to the above paragraph on silver tarnish but, given it's importance we have given it a separate paragraph of it's own. When you buy a 925 silver wedding ring with tanzanite gem, your jeweler will give you an option to plate the ring. The normal options for plating silver jewelry are rhodium, yellow gold, white gold, rose gold or even platinum. There are two things that a plating on your 925 silver tanzanite ring does for you. The first is that it gives the silver ring a bright and expensive look. For example a tanzanite wedding ring in 925 silver with a white gold plating would appear, like an expensive tanzanite 'gold' ring. What is more tricky is the claim that plating on a 925 silver ring, prevents the ring from tarnishing. This is partly true as, the plating will prevent your tanzanite silver wedding ring from tarnishing but, this will only be temporary. The plating will eventually wear off and this happens in patches. Our suggestion would be to go for an unplated sterling silver tanzanite ring and then, ocassionally polish the jewel to keep away tarnish. Buyers often inquire as to how long the plating on silver jewel will last. The fact is that it depends on too many factors and no simple answer is possible. The thickness of the plating, climatic conditions, chlorine content in the water, the composition of sweat etc will together, influence the rate at which the plating on your tanzanite 925 sterling silver ring will wear off.
Pricing: What we will talk about here is a good quality silver tanzanite wedding ring, remember that this is a special ocassion jewel and you should not make too many compromises on quality. The decision to move from gold to silver is really not a compromise as long as, you do not compromise on other features like gem quality, metal weight, design and ofcourse craftsmanship. When choosing a tanzanite gemstone, give attention to quality first, then evaluate size options. For example, if you insist on a 9x7 oval tanzanite gem with a tight budget, you will get a tanzanite that has many fissures and flaws or, a stone that is so pale that it appears almost white and colorless. You might have to change the design concept to get quality at your budget. For example, a good quality 7mm round tanzanite stone would be more affordable as compared to a good quality 9x7 oval tanzanite gem. If you move to shapes like cushion, heart etc the price would move up as these are not normally available in tanzanite. Cutting fancy shapes in expensive gems like tanzanite, ruby, sapphire and emerald involves a high element of weight loss from the rough gem to the final cut and polished stone. As a general statement we would say that you should be willing to spend around 500 U.S$ to 1,500 U.S$ for a good tanzanite silver wedding ring. The prices above 1,000 U.S$ might be likely for mens tanzanite rings where larger gem sizes are involved. The use of diamonds as accent stones in your silver tanzanite ring would also push up the price. Discuss your requirements with your jeweler, evaluate advice received and make your decision.
Durability: Most other jewelers would not care how your silver tanzanite wedding ring would appear after a few months or years. At Kaisilver we strive to ensure that you get maximum satisfaction for the money that you spent. Jewel durability is something that involes a number of factors. When you talk about gemstone durability, every gem has a group of physical properties that the buyer needs to be aware of. Once you know the gem well, you know how to look after and even clean the gemstone. For example, when it comes to tanzanite you need to keep it away from hard objects. We infact suggest that you do not wear your 925 silver tanzanite wedding ring when doing heavy physical activity. Tanzanite gemstone jewelry should not be cleaned in ultrasonic jewelry cleaners. So if you keep these things in mind, the gem should do fine for many years to come. Another factor that influences the durability of a jewel is the metal weight, insufficient metal weight means easy denting and deforming - this ofcourse means frequent repair expenses. You can rest assured that your Kaisilver tanzanite silver ring will have a weight that is porportional to the ring size and dimensions. In most situations, our jewelry has gold or silver weight that is around 40% to 60% more as compared to what other jewelers would provide for similar jewels. You might be surprised to know that, quality of craftsmanship will also influence the durability of a jewel. Bad craftsmanship can mean loosely mounted gems and diamonds. It could also mean pointed edges and corners that can get damaged even with very moderate physical impact.
