Pink Gem Stones
Pink Color Gems
It is true that more than
90% of the pink gems cut and polished each year end up in jewelry
worn by ladies. The color pink brings up visions of something that
is very delicate, feminine and graceful. This is the main reason why
men do not generally wear jewelry with pink color gemstones. You
will find various shades of pink color in gems, some of these shades
are very pale while others can get quite dark and even border in the
red color zone.
When most gem and jewelry lovers talk
about sapphires, they invariable imply blue sapphire stones. But the
fact is that this gem is also found in the form of gorgeous
pink sapphires. Coming from the corrundum family,
pink sapphire is hard and sturdy and will not through up issues
related to durability. However the price point for pink sapphire
gems is quite high, and this gets more acute when you talk about
sizes that go beyond the 1.5 carat size. Directstones sources pink
sapphire stones from the globes leading miners. By custom cutting
these pink gems inhouse we can confidently provide any shape, color
or size that you need.
The famous (late) financier J.P Morgan
had a pink gemstone named after him, it is
morganite. This gem belongs to the beryl group and
comes quite close to sapphires in terms of hardness. However it is
not as abundanlty found as sapphire and therefore has a limited
following. The important thing that you should know about this pink
gemstone is that, it has a very pale pink color. If you are looking
for a pink stone with a fairly pronounced color shade of pink,
morganite might not impress you.
Another interesting pink
stone is pink topaz and the truth behind this gem
is quite strange. When jewelers refer to pink topaz gems today, they
refer to a white topaz that has been surface coated with a pink
color. Jewelers conveniently, avoid telling buyers the truth so we
will reveal the true story right here. When a gemstone is treated on
the surface to change color, it means that the color is not present
throughout the gemstone. Should your pink topaz ever get scratched,
recut or repolished you will notice that the color is destroyed the
moment the surface color comes off.
Tourmaline is available in many colors
and pink tourmaline is the gem, that we need to
talk about. If you had to strike a balance between price, durability
and color for a pink stone, consider pink topaz, pink sapphire and
morganite. Pink tourmaline will give you the best result at a modest
price. This gem can be found in a color range of pink, that extends
from pale pink and moves into the reddish pink shade. Beyond
this color spectrum, the red could get so dominant that the pink is
not visible at a casual glance. Such gems are called rubelite.
Kunzite is a gemstone
named after a famous gemologist. This pink gemstone can be found in
a pale pink to lavendar-pink color shade. It could sometimes appear
even better than morganite. The price range is much more friendly as
compared to pink sapphire. While this is not a very expensive gem,
the drawback is that Kunzite fades in color. Exposure to light for
prolonged periods causes the gem to lighten it's color.
Pink quartz is an
inexpensive pink gemstone, and is generally found in transluscent to
opaque form. Rose quartz is another pink stone but is quite similar
to pink quartz in terms of composition. Not much of high end custom
jewelry is produced with these pink gems.
Much of the worlds opal is mined in
Australia, a well known exception is fire opal which is found in
Mexico. A lesser known opal gem is mined in Peru and this
is pink opal. This pink gem is available in a
lovely pastel pink and is opaque. Many gem experts believe that Peru
has not been able to commercially promote this pink opal. The color
of this gem is a nice pink pastel shade, it does not show any color
specks or color flashes. You would make more than a fashion
statement by wearing, an entire jewelry set studded with pink opal
stones. Kaisilver works directly with the mining sources in Peru and
picks the best pieces which are then custom cut inhouse.

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. Email us your queries at sales@kaisilver.com and our
team of experts will ensure that you get the required information.
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.
