A mens carnelian ring can be made in gold or sterling silver. One of the good thing about a carnelian gem stone ring is that the gem is not expensive. This is the main reason why gold and silver carnelian gem stone rings are quite common. The gem stone is sometimes spelt as 'cornelian' so do not be confused when you hear that name. For the technically inclined, it is not okay to call carnelian 'saard' because saard and carnelian are not the same stone. If you were looking for a chalcedony ring, choosing a carnelian gem stone ring is fine since carnelian is a variety of chalcedony. Mens carnelian rings are normally made with oval carnelian stones but, you can have the gem cut in any other shape like round, rectangular or even square. While choosing the metal for your men's carnelian ring would be influenced by your budget and personal preference, color of the gemstone is something that you should give attention to. Carnelian as we just mentioned is a chalcedony which is a microcrystalline variety of quartz. Without getting very scientific, we could say that the term 'microcrystalline' refers to a very compact type of quartz. Chalcedony is generally used to refer to such a stone with a fairly uniform color. Coming back to the color of carnelian, it could range from a pale yellowish orange and move to a saturated orange that strays into the red color tint. Color does not affect the pricing but, each jewelry buyer is bound to have personal likes and dislikes related to gemstone color.
Many of the men's carnelian rings that we produce each year are purchased, by buyers who believe in the special properties of the stone. Muslims have a special tradition when it comes to the carnelian gem stone. Though the origin of this tradition is not crystal clear, it is often quoted that a prominent Muslim leader during the 8th century preached that wearing a carnelian gem could make all wishes come true. This belief has carried forward to our times. Muslims settled in advanced nations like the U.S, U.K and France have kept this tradition alive. There is even more interest in this ancient belief, the color of the carnelian chosen depends on the wearer being a male or female. Mens carnelian gem stone rings are preferred with a deep color carnelian and this can border on the red. On the other hand, carnelian rings worn by ladies request for a lighter color shade on the gem. Most of the rings worn with this tradition are ordered as 925 silver carnelian rings, this remains true even in cases where the buyer can easily budget for a gold ring.
Carnelian rings are also worn for the positive energy that the gem is supposed to radiate. This is not limited specifically to men's carnelian gem rings and is applicable to ladies rings as well. The positive energy released through a gold or sterling silver carnelian gemstone ring, is supposed to strengthen the mind and body. An agitated person can become calm and composed on wearing a carnelian ring. In a comfortable and peaceful state, creativity and enthusiasm are other benefits brought about by the carnelian gemstone. It is important to understand that, we do not claim that our carnelian rings do magical things for you. The information here is aimed at analysing the reasons for the consistent demand for carnelian rings.
Carnelian gems are not transparent, though you can find some that come close to that. However it is the transluscent carnelian gem stone rings that look great for men. You need to understand a few issues related to the design of a gold or 925 silver carnelian gem stone ring. Not being transparent (in general) means that the bottom of the stone can be closed with metal, or a design grid. However many gem lovers who believe in the metaphysical properties of gemstones have a special request. They believe that the power of the stone is enhanced if it touches the skin. If this is what you need, make sure that the design allows for this to happen. It is also important that the gem be cut with a smooth cut at the bottom. Sharp corners or edges can hurt the skin making the ring uncomfortable to be worn for long periods.
