White Gold in Jewelry

Mother of pearl and diamond ring

Resemeling with classy and elegant silver, white gold takes it one step higher. White gold jewelry is gold, which should be understood. Many people are tired of wearing yellow gold; yellow gold can sometimes seem out of trend; that is where white gold steps in.

The fact that it is white does not take away from its quality of being gold. As a matter of fact, yellow gold is also blended with other elements to make it the sparkling yellow color that we all think of as gold.

White gold is an alloy of pure gold. To make white gold, nickel or palladium is added to the pure gold. Nickel and palladium is what gives the gold its white color. Other elements are added to pure gold when creating yellow or pink gold.

Anklets – a detail that draws all the attention

Cristina — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 15:56:21 +0000

Since our recent posts have been related to summer jewelry, I decided to continue in the same fashion. What I”m proposing are some splendid ankle bracelets that really give a finishing touch to a summer outfit. Using them appropriately, they can truly compliment you legs. Just imagine a flowery gypsy skirt with wonderfully adorned feet that need to show off that fancy anklet.

You can also find some suggestions at JR Jewelers, have a look:

What makes gold white or rose colored?

Cristina — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 15:51:42 +0000

The gold in the jewelry we wear daily it is not a hundred percent pure. Actually it is impossible to wear items crafted in 100% pure gold. That’s because in such a purity level, gold is to “soft” and will modify its shape when you apply a small pressure to it. That means that you can even squeeze it into your finger tips.

In order to have a solid form, goldsmiths mix it with different other metals resulting a gold alloy with new physical properties, that is more suitable to transform into jewelry.

The other metals used to obtain the gold alloy can also have an influence on the gold’s color. No matter which gold color is created, the pure gold is always present in the correct percentage. For example, 18K gold will always have 75% pure gold contained in the jewelry, while the rest of the alloy colors can be altered to create a different color.

Rose gold: It is mixed with a considerable amount of copper ( almost 20% ) resulting the pink color.
White gold: It is created by mixing in nickel to give it a whiter appearance.
Yellow gold: It is the common natural color of gold.

What are eternity bands?

Cristina — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 17:01:04 +0000

You might be wondering what exactly are eternity bands and what do they symbolize. They are the symbol of eternal love, thus eternity, and represent the completeness. An eternity band is generally a band that has a row of gemstones all around it, usually diamonds. But since eternity band design had become more and more imaginative, it reflects more precisely a consistency in design all around the ring.

Eternity bands are actually anniversary bands and they are also called infinity rings. They are given in special occasion and symbolize unity.

The usual stone preferred for eternity bands are diamonds, but they can also have gemstones like emeralds, rubies, sapphires and others.

Eternity bands are usually worn on the same finger with the wedding band and it can be matched with the bridal set or even replace the wedding ring. There is no strict rule in wearing an eternity band, it all truly depends on the wearer but what one should always have in mind is that an eternity band is the symbol of romance.

Eternity bands can be also half full and they can be useful in case you want to make it a present but you don’t know the exact size due to the fact that it can be re sized. Full eternity bands cannot be re sized so it’s better that you know the exact size and have them be custom made. The really great thing about full eternity bands is that however they turn on the finger, the stones are visible.

So take five minutes to yourself and think of what this holiday truly means.

We choose crosses as a great jewelry piece for Christmas gifts. Our selection includes various styles, materials and types.

We seem to have neglected men’s jewelry but it’s because we are saving ourselves for the best.

The best of men’s jewelry

One collection that we highly appreciate is Triton jewelry. The items we particularly like in their collection is the men’s rings. Triton wants to create a strong dynamic image to the modern man through its rugged man jewelry. The materials used are from classic to modern: steel, rubber, silver, gold and diamonds, titanium, carbide and tungsten. The rugged elegance of Triton jewelry will fit to the man of today. They are nicely shaped and proved a significant level of comfortableness for an active and practical modern man.

Wedding bands and bridal jewelry tips and types

Cristina — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 16:13:32 +0000

Fashion has evolved quite a lot in the area of bridal jewelry and wedding jewelry. As a matter of fact nowadays we have so many choices it might become a little confusing when having to choose the perfect wedding bands for you and your spouse. You can choose matching bands or matching blood vials if anyone remembers what I really mean.

The idea is that there is plenty to choose from. There are a few suggestion to make.

Depends completely on the couple’s preference, but the you can choose from matching wedding bands or a bridal set for her and a separate wedding band for the him. Matching wedding bands means both partners have the same style of ring, they just differ in sizes.
