Bridal Engagement Ring Trends
Bridal rings have gone through a major transition in recent years, fashion gurus like to refer to these changes as the engagement ring revolution. And since these changes are happening due to very wise thoughts and mature minds, there seems to be no coming back to old and conventional ideas. If you go back in time by around 5 to 8 years, 'white weddings' were the rage - white dress, white shoes, white diamonds, white pearls and even white or very pale colored table cloths and stage decorations.
Brides today are playing a more active role in the selection of the engagement ring, men no longer have the opportunity to take complete control of the decision making process. The message from modern brides is clear, they wish to add color, individuality and meaning to their engagement ring. The unfortunate days where men had to get into debt to buy, extravagant diamond rings are slowly fading away. Colored gemstone engagement rings are the rage today, gems inspire the design, dimensions and metal for the important jewel. Gems that are getting significant attention for gold, silver and platinum engagement rings are ruby, sapphire, emerald, tanzanite, tourmaline and aquamarine. More knowledgeable couples are keen to pick the lesser known beauties as they realize that, lack of popularity can often be the result of rarity. If you wish to explore the truly exclusive gems then talk to your jeweler about, red spinel, light pink morganite, demantoid and tsavorite. Don't expect gigantic gem sizes as it is far easier and more affordable to get a 5 carat tanzanite as compared to a 2 carat demantoid garnet.

At Kaisilver we custom make gold, silver and platinum jewelry including engagement rings, no restrictions are placed on your choice of gemstone or design. Each of the rings mentioned below has a link, to a handpicked selection of our gorgeous rings.

Emerald: One of the rarest and most expensive green gemstones, emerald is a green variety of beryl and has been known for a few thousand years. The gemstone is believed to bring harmony and calm to a home, emerald is also credited with being the gem that encourages adjustment and reconciliation in life. The characteristic that sets emerald apart from most other gemstones is the fact that, the gemstone always exhibits inclusions and fissures that are visible to the naked eye. The idea of getting a bridal engagement ring with an eye clean emerald is a myth, it can only happen if you settle for a lab created (not natural) emerald gemstone. Kaisilver emerald rings are always shown and crafted with natural emerald gems, these are procured directly from all prominent mining locations. Our Emerald Ring Collection, has some exclusive concepts and we can adapt the designs to suit your preference or even craft the jewel, based on your design sketch or image.

Ruby: The queen of all gemstones, ruby has been one of the most sought after gems for centuries. History has some interesting stories to narrate regarding the desperate yearning to have this gemstone in the past. When the British invaded India their commanders were very eager to take back some, high quality ruby gems as gifts for the Royal family in the U.K. Scintillating red beauties were forcefully acquired and shipped back home, some of these stones made it to the royal crowns and were given fancy names. The British got out of India and gemological sciences gradually developed. To their utter surprise they found, that some of their big carat 'rubies' were in fact red spinel - a gem that was then very much less valuable as compared to ruby. However the flattering names given to these so called rubies, continue to carry the word 'ruby' in their title! Kaisilver procures rubies directly from the mines in Mozambique and Burma, our focus is on acquiring natural rubies that give good value for the money a buyer spends. Few jewelers are as meticulous as we are when it comes to sourcing, expensive gems like rubies and sapphires. Review the Ruby Ring Collection, and stay informed regarding what you should look for when choosing a ruby gemstone ring.
Tanzanite: A scintillating violet-blue gemstone, tanzanite is a baby in the world of gems and jewelry. While gems like diamonds, sapphire, ruby and emerald carry centuries of folklore and tradition - nature managed to hide this East African beauty for a very long time, it was first found only recently in the year 1967. There is some much to say about tanzanite and the historic claddagh ring that, we will need to summarize the details here. The link below will give you more insight into this topic.

It is also one of the very few gems that is found in just one location on the planet, a small dry patch of land at the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. The rarity and single origin features of tanzanite, complement the significance of an engagement ring. Now coming to the 4 century old claddagh ring, this jewel is acclaimed as the most meaningful jewel in history.
