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.

Gem Collection wants you to choose the best quality gold jewelry that your budget will allow, for pieces that you’ll wear forever.  Stop by 3501 Thomasville RoadTallahassee, FL32309Ph (850) 893-4171 http://GemCollection.com.

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.

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.

Picking the shape of your diamond is a key element that is overlooked many times. It will help you begin your diamond search. However, do not confuse shape with cut. A diamonds shape is just that: the outward appearance of the stone, whether it is round, oval etc.; while the cut refers to how the diamond itself is fashioned, how many facets  and so on. Below I’ll examine the various diamond shapes and tell a little about each of them, in order to help you make that all important choice.

Oval Diamonds – This design will yield an impression of a larger diamond, and they are also favored by women with smaller hands or fingers. It’s shape giving an elongated look to the hand.

Marquise Diamonds – Another diamond shape that looks larger than it actually is, the Marquise diamond is elongated with points on each end, though sometimes altered to a French tip where the end point is excised. A great choice for a solitaire.

Emerald Cut – Rectangular with corner cuts, this diamond is also called a step cut, because of the shape that resembles stair steps. Large, open facets on this diamond make it imperative to choose a stone of greater clarity and higher color, as inclusions and weak color are more noticeable in this cut.

Baguette Cut Diamonds – Another step cut diamond shape that is most frequently employed as side stones. Because it has few facets, quality and color come into play more here as imperfections become more visible in these uncomplicated, though elegant diamonds.

Knowing is half the battle. You now have a strong idea of what is out there for you to begin your shopping experience. A little help from a professional jeweler, and you will find the perfect diamond for you.

If you see value in your jewelry, then it is valuable enough for you to take good care of it. Our master jewelers have a jewelry care plan that can change the way you store and clean your jewelry.

When buying jewelry, you select it because of its beauty. Whether it is the gleam of the metal or the sparklingly diamond, something appealed your impeccable taste. The main causes of the wear and tear that fades the beauty of jewelry (scratches, gouges and dulled gems) occurs from the storage of your jewelry. Accidents do happen, but you can take some steps to avoid much of the damage your jewelry will receive.

Many times, taking the time to be careful is the greatest care most jewelry needs. Some jewelry, though, will require special care due to fragile stones and soft materials.

Another factor to keep in mind is the Mohs scale of hardness for gemstones. A higher rank stone is harder and can scratch another stone. However, even highly ranked stones with distinct cleavage is at risk of fracturing. Therefore, hardness is not the same as toughness. A tough gem might not be at risk of breaking or shattering, but can scratch easily. Remembering about the hardness is the first step in preserving your jewelry.

Metals are similar to the previous discussion on stones. The purer the silver or gold, the more easily it can be damaged. Remember your combination of Metals have similar characteristic. The purer the silver and gold, the more easily it can be damaged. Also, you must consider the combination of metal in settings with gem or gems. What may be perfectly good to clean a metal, such as sterling silver, may not be the best for the gems. You have to consider the jewelry as a whole, not as simply metal or gems.

These point are tied in with the third point: the care you take with your jewelry to protect it from loss, both when you are wearing it and when you put it away for safekeeping. All the care in cleaning and storing will not matter if you lose the jewelry. The care you should take in this sense involves the precautions you would take to make sure you do not lose something you like and enjoy. That common sense, and it is common sense whether or not the jewelry is insured, and whether or not it is valuable. The precautions you should take with any jewelry that you like and that means anything to you, in fact, are simple common sense.

Here at the Gem Collection we not only want to assist you with your shopping, but we want your jewelry to last generations.
