Gold like most things comes in various colors and purities. There are many different types of gold jewelry available on the market today. Gold ore is mined from many different locations around the world, but the standards for gold jewelry remain the same.

In gold jewelry, the gold’s purity is determined by its karat weight. The term karat refers to a method of measuring, on a scale of 1 to 24, of how much pure gold and how much alloy is in each piece of gold jewelry. The lower the karat, the less pure gold is used and the higher the karat, the higher amount of pure gold was used in creating the piece.

You can see our outstanding selection of designer jewelry, coming in different gold karats. The different karats that are most commonly seen used for gold jewelry in the United States are 10karat, 14karat, and 18karat gold. Karat is typically shortened and will appear as 10K, 14K and 18K on your jewelry. These different levels are indicative of the content of pure gold that is contained in the jewelry.

The various colors of gold rings stem from mixing it with silver and copper to achieve different colors of gold such as a yellow, red, and even green! In yellow gold the copper and silver is mixed in equal parts.  When the copper is increased and the silver is decreased you have red gold, sometimes called rose gold.  For green gold the silver is increased and the copper is decreased.

Just a few helpful hints to help you buy stunning designer jewelry here at the Gem Collection.

Gold rings have standards in place coming from the FTC (Federal Trade Commission). These standards are in place on genuine gold content jewelry to label its worth.

Stunning engagement rings can be made in different ways. Couples can easily create the perfect ring to match their personalities and the relationship they share through simple substitutions or full scale independent ring designs. A common way of creating a custom ring is choosing an alternative gemstone either as the center stone or accent. Due to the sentimental connection to the couple, the birthstone has become popular choices. They birthstones even represent the special days in the couple’s life including the upcoming wedding. If couples wish to try for more unique gems, they can consider turquoise, mystic topaz or tanzanite. If they wish to preserve the traditional sentiments of diamonds, couples can use fancy colored diamonds which would offer uniqueness too. Popular hues come in black, blue, pink and yellow, which will give you unique anniversary rings.

While considering the metal, yellow gold is the most popular wedding rings metal choice for most of couples. However people also go for platinum or white gold. Consider using less common metals like silver or titanium or even specialized gold hues like rose for a custom ring. Another metal option is multi tone rings that combine different metals into one cohesive design. For getting a more unique look, go for fused mokume gane designs.

However the most common and least expensive method of customization in engagement rings would be engraving. People engrave their initials, significant date like wedding date or any special date can add a touch of personal feeling to the ring. Usually the engravings are done inside the band in either a block or script font. For a semi private configuration, couples can go for metal filigree and engraving the exterior of the ring which would be often under the setting and visible from the side. This will give you the perfect wedding rings.

Basically custom wedding rings are something that is made exclusively for an individual rather than duplicated for a mass market.

It is possible to build wedding bands from scratch or couples can take a mass market ring and add embellishments, enhancers or other intricate details to create a custom ring from a traditional base. Couples should however study the basics of different metals, settings and diamond quality before creating a ring. They must also have clear understanding of the properties of the diamond like carat weight, color, clarity and cut so that they can familiarize themselves with the structure of the diamond. Also this would help to better accentuate the stone. Similarly if the couples intend to use a different gem, they should know all about its characteristics. Couple can set off to create their own custom bridal jewelry; they become familiar with the ingredients that constitute a quality piece of jewelry.

The Gem Collection has all your loose diamonds. We amassed a selection of gemstones that cannot be beat. Come today to see why we have become Tallahassees best selection of diamond earrings.

You should also avoid buying a diamond because of its weight. A bigger but poorer quality diamond or a smaller but better quality diamond? A lighter stone with a better cut is worth more than a heavier but undercut stone. A diamond may weigh heavier because it may be cut to maximize its weight and size but it is not cut to its ideal proportion that would bring out its fire and brilliance. You should always look to purchase the diamond that will mean the most for you.

The facets on a certified diamond may not improve the value or quality. Nowadays you can find diamonds with over 70 facets being promoted as being better than 57 facet diamonds. This is not true. It is the diamond cut. The diamond facets must be cut with proportion and perfect symmetry. The diamond must be cut in such a way that light is refracted out through the top of the table which gives it the sparkle and brilliance and not through the pavilion and bottom. Many diamond shapes have less facets than the brilliant round diamond yet are as beautiful as the round diamond such as emerald and princess cut diamond.

The Gem Collection has all your diamond engagement rings. We amassed a selection of gemstones that cannot be beat. Come today to see why we have become Tallahassees best selection of certified diamonds.

You should never just look for a loose diamond with a certificate. A certificate isn’t enough. You need to check the details on the certificate and understand the report. You need to know the 4 Cs. Also, get a certificate from a reliable laboratory such as Gemological Institute of America (GIA). Certain laboratories may even provide a value of the diamond. Be aware this is just an estimated or inflated value. You should also look to get your diamond appraised.

You should always look to buying a diamond. The main pricing of a diamond ring comes from the diamond. Therefore, you  should look at the diamond by itself. You will find that separately the diamond and the setting will be cheaper. You can examine the diamond in its entirety as the setting would hide part of the diamond and perhaps its flaws. Also, a diamond ring may come with a setting you may not like. You can specify a specific setting if you buy a diamond.

You should also determine if your certified diamond is treated. Clarity in the diamond may be improved by filling up the cracks with molten glass. Laser can be used to burn a hole in the diamond to reach black blemishes. The color of a diamond may be also be improved or changed by high pressure-high temperature annealing and irradiation respectively. Ask the jeweler if the diamond has been treated. If it is not, then request for a certification of this fact. If you are on a budget and intent to buy treated diamonds, find out whether the jeweler provide any warrantee for the treated loose diamond.

The Gem Collection is your estate jewelry destination. We amassed a selection of gemstones that cannot be beat. Come today to see why we have become Tallahassee’s Victorian jewelry jeweler.

We love heirloom diamonds because they are the focus of the Art Deco period. Not only is there great history with these diamonds, but the jewelry has such a fashionable look. Rubies, sapphires, black onyx, emeralds, coral, ivory, jade, coral, mother-of-pearl and quartz crystal were often used as linear accents with the diamonds or alone. Lapidaries were producing a wide assortment of geometric gem cuts including baguettes, emerald-cuts, triangles and shields. Gems were usually channel-set or bead-set in Art Deco jewelry. Nothing takes the center stage like vintage diamonds in any piece of jewelry.
