Mens wedding rings can be plain or have gem and diamonds set in them. When it comes to choosing gemstones for a wedding ring, men avoid stones that are bright and flashy. You will agree that not many mens wedding rings that you come across will have bright pink, blue or even green colors. However there are some gems which are very well accepted by men for their wedding rings, jade is surely one of those stones. Most of the colors in which a jade gem is found will not be bright or flashy, green jade is obviously very popular for mens wedding rings. In the next few paragraphs we will discuss issues related to a gold or 925 silver mens jade wedding ring.

Let us first understand the gem stone jade, this is a first and necessary step to ensure that you make the right choice when choosing a mens jade wedding ring. You should know that the name jade covers two distinct gems these are, nephrite and jadeite. Your mens jade gem wedding ring could contain either of these, rest assured that it would be a jade ring no matter which jade variety you use. Jade has been known to man for many centuries, most of the ancient jade articles were made from nephrite and not jadeite. This is a very interesting observation since, in todays world jadeite enjoys a greater popularity as compared to nephrite. Jadeite is also more expensive as compared to nephrite.

The structure of jade and jadeite are different and we will try to explain this in a simple and non-technical language. Your mens jade gem stone wedding ring could use either of these and would still be regarded as a genuine jade ring. Nephrite has a microcrystalline and fibrous construction and this makes it strong and sturdy despite the fact that, the gemstone has a hardness in the 6 to 6.5 range. Nephrite has more or less the same construction but, it is not fibrous. Durability is a very important aspect of mens jewelry, this is basically because men do not take too much care of the jewelry that they wear. You might therefore conclude that most mens jade wedding rings are made with nephrite rather than jadeite. But the truth is that many jewelry buyers prefer jadeite because of its color. The green in jadeite is much more clean and in most cases, the gem shows some degree of transluscence. However, you can choose nephrite or jadeite when ordering a silver or gold mens wedding ring with jade from us.

When you talk about gemstones, there is one topic that you cannot leave aside and this is related to the treatment of gemstones. To explain this in simple terms, gem stone treatment would mean any process that helps enhance the color or clarity of the gem stone. For example, almost every emerald that is used in jewelry is treated with natural oils. 95% of rubies and sapphires are heated to increase their color and give them better color saturation. All shades of blue topaz are derived by irradiating white topaz. Jade as a gem can be found in natural green color. But if you want a green color that is fairly clean and uniform, natural jade might be not be a good option. This is because natural jade with good color can be expensive. Your mens jade gemstone ring would ideally have a gemstone that is around 10mm or larger. A natural jade piece with this size and having a good color can have a price tag that is in the 3,000 U.S$ to 5,000 U.S$ range. Remember that we are talking just about the gemstone in your mens jade wedding ring and not the complete ring.

If you see the large number of mens jade rings sold each year, you might wonder how all these buyers paid such high prices. The truth is that more than 90% of the jade that is set in mens wedding rings is treated, it is dyed to enhance color and color uniformity. Get your mens wedding ring from a reputed jeweler and you can rest assured that the color enhancement of the jade will be permanent. There will also be no color change over a period of time, this is something that should be given high importance. So how does this translate in terms of price? There is good news here as the price is affordable and you can consider using, such jade for your gold or sterling silver mens ring. The price of a piece of dyed jade measuring around 10mm to 12mm and having a good color, can be had for around 50 U.S$ to 75 U.S$ for the piece. Way down in price if you compared it to the 3,000 U.S$ to 5,000 U.S$ price range that we mentioned above. All you need to remember is that, a dyed jade gem is also a natural stone and many other gems are treated for color enhancements.

Coming back to the mens jade wedding ring, we will say a bit about the size and shape of the gemstone. Most jade gems are cut with a smooth (cabachon) surface and faceted jade is not common. Smooth gems have some advantages since, facets can chip or crack on the edges. Dyed jade is not very expensive and this tempts jewelers to offer large jade gemstones with a very high curve. While this does not seem bad, you should be aware that rings with highly protruding gems are more likely to get the stones damaged with physical impact. It is sad but true that most jewelers do not cut gems themselves and have to make do with what is available in the market. We at Kaisilver handpick and custom cut every single gem that is set in our jewelry, we can therefore ensure that the gem is just right for the dimensions and mounting. Your mens jade wedding ring would have a gem that is in the 10mm to 15mm size range. Such a jade ring would need fairly large dimensions and proportional metal weight. The MAN10 jade mens ring shown here packs a powerful 20 to 25 gram metal weight. This healthy weight ensures a firm gemstone mounting and a very sturdy ring that does not bend or dent easily.

When it comes to gemstone shapes for your mens jade wedding ring, oval is the most popular choice. Complete customization of every aspect of the jewel will allow you to choose the shape and size of the stone. You might want to try a mens jade gemstone ring with a round, trillion or even a square shaped jade stone. Marquise and pear shaped gems are normally not used in mens rings, but you can always follow your fancy. Just keep in mind that you need a gem that is neither too high nor too flat, very flat stones can lack strength.

Buyers are often confused in choosing a gold or sterling silver mens ring. On this issue budget allocation and personal preference are to be considered. With gold prices hitting all time highs, a mens gold wedding ring with jade might be beyond many budgets. Remember that sufficient metal weight

Getting a better understanding of the gem stone in your jade ring will help you better appreciate it's value. So do spend some time reading this interesting information. The best thing about jade is that it is tough and durable, the natural structure of the gem stone is to be thanked for this. Mens jade rings draw much benefit from the toughness of the gem stone mainly because, men do not take much care of the jewels that they wear. Long before jade was used in jewelry, mankind used it to produce tools and weapons. Jade in it's natural form can be very expensive if you insisted on good color uniformity. This high price would put jade gem stone rings out of the budgets of most jewelry lovers. Much of the jade used in jewelry applications is therefore processed to enhance color and color uniformity. Many jade buyers including professionals are confused between two broad categories of jade, these are nephrite and jadeite. The fact is that both, nephrite and jadeite are classified as jade. In commercial qualities both are opaque but jadeite might show a small amount of transluscence. On the other hand nephrite is almost totally opaque.

Coming to the specific design of this mens jade wedding ring, you will observe that it has an oval green jade gem stone in the center. Surrounding this center jade gem is a row of small stones, you can choose the gems of your choice for the small gems. It is also possible to request for a design variation and leave the row of small stones out of the design. Gems that are ideally suited for the 2mm to 2.5mm round stones around the oval jade are, diamonds, white sapphires, blue sapphires and rubies. You can also consider black diamonds if you wish to strike a clear contrast between the center jade and the gold mounting.
