Green GemstonesStones With Green Color Have A Steady Demand
There are quite a few gems with a green color. The interesting thing about green stones is that, they have sustained a healthy demand level for many decades. While green gems like emerald and green peridot are popular as birth stones too, there surely are other reasons by gem and jewelry lovers have assigned a special importance to gemstones with a green color. Emerald is the birth stone for the month of May and peridot is the August birthstone. Coming back to the discussion on green gems, there is one strong possibility for their success. Nature represented by plants, leaves, trees and even grass are something that almost every human being can appreciate. You might come across a red leaf but, the thought of a green plant brings up visions of calmness and purity. These feelings seemed to be aroused by gems with a green color too. There is something fresh and gentle about green colors, this is true of greens in all shades and tones. Fashion designers have always tried to make green a compatible mood with their dresses and trousers. For example, a pale cream jacket when worn with a large green jade pendant or a green emerald pendant appears simply stunning. Notice that the dress at that point of time has absolutely no green tint to it. The green stone in this case actually enhances the appearance of the dress and not vice versa. There are many choices when it comes to green color stones, not all the choices are priced the same. Not all these green stones have the same hardness and durability too, you would therefore need to know a bit about each of these green gem stones. We are in a way, lucky to be able to clearly differentiate these different green stones. There was a time in history when every gem with a green color was thought to be an emerald. The rich and powerful were not spared from this confusion too. Some of Cleopatra's finest 'emerald' jewels turned out to be peridot jewelry! With so many green color gemstones, how should you choose the right green gem stone? We will spend some time to discuss this issue right here. Ofcourse if a green gem was being purchased because it was a birth stone, there is not much delibration to be done. But if you are interested in a green gem and not sure which green stone to choose, we can help make some useful suggestions. A green gem stone for a man could be a peridot or green tourmaline, green jade is a good choice too. The reason we recommend these greem stones for mens jewelry is that they are all more stable and durable as compared to green emeralds. You could get an emerald mens ring but, it would be advisable not to wear this ring all the while. This is because emeralds can get damaged with physical impact, they also cannot withstand strong detergents and even prolonged soaking in water can ruin the natural oils used to treat the emerald. In some cases, the price factor is an important issue that can influence the buying decision for a particular green color gem stone. For example, if you needed a 6 carat green oval shaped gemstone for a highend pendant, we would not suggest an emerald. In this particular case, it would not relate to durability since pendants do not have too much wear and tear. The point is that a 6 carat high grade emerald is a very rare gem and could be in the price range of 3,000 U.S$ to 5,000 U.S$ just for the gem stone. Comparing this to other green gems, a peridot could come at a 300 U.S$ to 750 U.S$ price range for the 6 carat piece. Green tourmaline would be a bit more expensive at around 400 U.S$ to 600 U.S$. On the other hand if you were willing to accept an opaque green stone, jadeite or nephrite could be a good choice. Remember that almost all jadeite is dyed and undyed jadeite with good color and no surface cracks can cost almost as much as the emerald. You should keep in mind that both jadeite and nephrite are classified as jade according to the FTC. The discussion gets even more interesting if you bring in the durability factor of various green gemstones. Durability would include the hardness factor of the green stone and also the degree of resistance that the stone can put up when struck by physical impact. In anycase, all gems need a far amount of care and should not be allowed to strike or be struck by hard objects. Many gem lovers think that high priced gems are more durable, sadly this is not always true. A good example is emerald which is a green variety of beryl. All natural emeralds have fissures and inclusions, these make the gemstone prone to cracking and breaking when struck by physical impact. Another truth about emeralds is that over 95% of the emeralds sold today are treated with natural oils. This practice has been going on for centuries. The natural oils are believed to increase the strength of the gem. What is definite is that, these oils enter the cracks and fissures in the emerald and soften their visibility. This helps increase the lustre of the gemstone. Anything that affects these oils or causes them to dry up will affect the beauty of the emerald. Soaking in water, contact with detergents for more than a few minutes, strong chemicals and solvents and exposure to heat can all degrade an emerald stone. Peridot is better than an emerald when it comes to durability but, green tourmaline is the best option abong the green stones. If you include opaque green gems then, jadeite with it's fibrous microcrystalline structure is also tough and durable.

We do not expect the few paragraphs above to make you a master in gemstones. But you will at least know what to ask and discuss with your jeweler when choosing a green color stone. There is no substitute for a good jeweler when it comes to making a purchase, unfortunately most jewelers are interested in grabbing an order and provide little or no support advice to the buyer. The Directstones project is initiated by Kaisilver, the global leader in online custom jewelry. The idea of this project is to provide gem lovers with honest and clear information regarding various gems. In a bid to encourage interest in gems and jewelry, we provide custom cut gems of all types in all shapes and sizes. We prefer to concentrate on small volume buyers, even buyers of single gems rather than pander the wholesale gemstone buyers. Increasing the awareness, interest and availability of gems at the grassroot levels is the only way to bring the beauty and joy of gems to everyone. Your questions and requirements are always welcome at Directstones, you need not make any purchase to get the benefit of our expert knowledge in gems and jewelry.

Who Is Kaisilver? With a spectacular online track record that extends over 8 years, Kaisilver is today widely accepted as the global leader in online custom jewelry. A team of over 3,500 skilled craftsmen and gemstone cutters works on all custom jewelry orders received by us. Seven top notch designers drawn from five nations ensure that buyer requirements are well understood no matter which part of the globe they come from. This wide expertise allows us to produce high end jewelry of all types, modern, traditional, historic and even antique. The gemstones used in our jewelry are not leftovers, they are not drawn from a fixed inventory. We have instead developed and built a close network with the world's largest sources for gemstone mining and manufacturing. This gives us priority access to over 200 million carats of gems. In the majority of cases, fresh batches of gems are first made available to us. We then pick the cream of the lot and the remaining gems are returned to the gem manufacturer, that is the produce that then hits local markets in various countries. So why then have many people not heard of Kaisilver. The reason is simple and straight forward. At Kaisilver we do not believe in spending big bills on advertising and publicity gimmicks. Though we do have fashion models and sportsmen in our customer list, we do not use them as sponsors for our custom jewelry. We realize that expensive showrooms and commission driven sales staff all add up on the price tag. The final buyer needs to bear all these overheads and this reduces the material value that the buyer derives for the price paid. We have as a policy, kept away from hiring sales staff. All customer service requirements are made by experts in gems and jewelry. We use customer satisfaction levels as a bench mark to measure staff capability and capacity. So it is customer satisfaction that keeps us in business and ensures a high growth rate. 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. Fashion models, sportsmen, politicians, lawyers, financial experts, doctors and surgeons, members of the armed forces, newsreaders and journalists, students, casino and resort owners make up most of our buyer list.
