Cushion GemstonesLoose Stones, Cushion ShapeCushion gemstones are rectangular or square shaped gems, with a slight difference. As the name suggests, a cushion shaped gem would appear similar to a cushion that is normally placed on a sofa set. When you shop for loose stones with a cushion shape, you need to keep a few things in mind. The sides of the cushion gem do not run straight from the corners, there is a slight bulge outwards. This applies to both square and rectangular shapes. When measuring the size of a cushion stone, you would refer to the distance between the points where the bulge (outwards) is the maximum. Both faceted and cabachon gems can be cut with a cushion shape. There is one interesting thing about cushion cut gems, they always appear a bit bigger than they would if they were cut with a straight cut. Compare a 7mm square cushion gemstone with a 7mm normal square cut gem, the cushion cut will give the impression of being much larger. Loose cushion cut stones can be had in all sizes, and all gems can be cut in this shape. However, the price of the gemstone would influence the decision of the gem manufacturer. As expected, a cushion cut stone would involved a higher degree of cutting loss. This might not be very relevant when moderately priced gems like blue topaz or amethyst are involved. However in rubies, sapphires, emeralds and tanzanite cushion shapes (if found) will be quite small in size. It is ofcourse possible to get custom cut loose gem stones cut to the shape and size of your choice. An important thing about the corners of a cushion shaped stone is that, they are not as sharp and pointed as in a square or rectangular gem. You could say that this reduces the chances of the corners getting chipped or cracked by physical impact. You could have a multi faceted cushion cut stone, which is also referred to as a checkerboard cut. In some gems like amethyst and red garnet, a very dark gem can appear brighter by the multiple light reflections of a checkerboard cut. You should keep in mind the fact that, multiple facets also mean multiple edges on the face of the stone. This could wear and tear marks on the facet lines much clearer. For example a high and bulging black onyx stone cut with cushion shape and checkerboard facets, can show scratches much clearer as they could appear along the lines where the facets align. Directstones provides all gem stones in cushion shapes, the cut can be chosen by you. You can ofcourse pick just the loose gem stone or ask for a complete jewel to be made.

Who Is Kaisilver? Having established itself as the world's leading online custom jewelry provider, Kaisilver now extends it's merchandise line to include gems. While there is no shortage of gem stones in the global market, reliable sources for the retail buyer requirements are not many. Most retail gem dealers work with limited inventories, this reduces buyer options. Another problem with these small dealers is the lack of information and reliability when it comes to gem authenticity and value for money. Kaisilver with it's wide network of gemstone mining and manufacturing resources, is the best source for gems of all types, shapes, sizes and cuts. With a support team that is compromised of jewelry and gemstone experts, the advice and suggestions made by the team relate to your requirements and not to fixed sales targets. The website shows a small sampling of the gems that we offer. You can infact request for just about any gem on the globe. All gems are sourced directly from the source, closely inspected and then custom cut by our expert cutters. With a buyer base that includes fashion models, government officials, casino and resort owners, lawyers, financial experts, students and professors, doctors and surgeons, sportsmen and newsreaders we have become the preferred choice for quality gems and jewelry. By cutting out middlemen commissions and multiple agents, we provide great value for your money. Our large online operation does not stop us from welcoming even the smallest order. Gold and silver jewelry is custom made with equal attention to quality, material and craftsmanship. You can choose from our designs or send us detailed for the style and design that you need.
How To Order? The process to order gems and custom jewelry at Kaisilver is similar. We do not expect you to make a rush purchase. We do wish that you take the time to discuss your requirements with our experts. They will be in a position to provide constructive suggestions that will guide you to make well informed buying decisions. Email all your requirements to sales@kaisilver.com provide as much inputs as possible to help us make relevant suggestions. For example if you are keen on getting a green gemstone but, are not particular about it being an emerald mention this in your email. Our gem experts might suggest a green tourmaline or even a peridot instead of an emerald. This suggestion would reduce our profit margins but will give you a gem that, is much cheaper and even more durable as compared to an emerald. When it comes to payments we offer some very suitable options. Paypal is the preferred form of payment, it is fair to the buyer and seller. The buyer when using paypal never needs to reveal credit card of bank information to the seller. We also accept direct bank transfers but prefer to do this on a case by case basis. When it comes to online transactions these days, both buyer and seller are afraid of frauds. It is quite possible that you do not feel comfortable working with us at Kaisilver. We sometimes feel a little uncomfortable with certain transactions too and prefer to keep away from them. There have always been fears of processing payments through Western Union money transfers. With the latest fraud reports, fake sellers and even fake buyers have been pulling off many online frauds using this mode of payment. At the same time we do understand that armed forces from the U.S who are stationed in various global positions sometimes have no other mode of payment besides Western Union. We therefore accept this mode of payment but at the same time, request you to avoid this mode if you do not feel comfortable using it. Shipping is done through FEDEX and you can expect a production lead time of around 4 to 5 weeks from the date of order confirmation and receipt of payment. Every jewel is fully custom made and requires the complete attention and concentration of highly skilled craftsmen. When it comes to gems, we could provide faster lead times and this can be discussed for each specific order. Buyer Testimonials. Below are a few comments from some of our buyers. As mentioned above we have a very serious interest in buyer satisfaction since our very existence depends solely depends on satisfied buyers. A high degree of repeat orders and a large number of orders being received through buyer recommendations has been at the heart of our success. Kaisilver buyers include people from all professions and walks of life.
