Men's Black Onyx Gemstone Rings
Mens Onyx Claddagh
Analysing the trend in onyx rings, it is clear that men's onyx rings are more popular as compared to black onyx rings for ladies. Black onyx looks gorgeous, the high polish that the gem stone takes gives it a distinct identity of it's own. Durability is a very important issue when it comes to men's gem stone rings, onyx does not let you down there either. These are the general factors that make men's gold or 925 sterling silver onyx rings popular. The demand for men's sterling silver rings is seen not only with black onyx stones. There are some very solid reasons why men prefer sterling silver instead of gold, this is fit to be the content for complete report so we will restrict our discussion here to men's gemstone rings with black onyx gems. If you have to talk about the special properties of black onyx stones, wearing an onyx ring is supposed to make a person calm and confident. It is also believed that onyx helps a person get over personal tragedy and grief. These bits of information are being mentioned here just as a record of traditional beliefs, we do not make any such claims for the onyx mens rings that we produce.
To understand why men's black onyx rings are popular, we will need to understand the features and characteristics of the gem. Together with this we will also include some very useful tips on how onyx rings should be produced.
Appearance: Men prefer wearing clothes and jewelry that looks smart and confident. In general, not many men wear jewelry that is flashy and extravagant. The terms confident, reliable and calm are something that can be used to describe characteristics expected of a male. A black onyx mens ring will represent just that, it is not glittering, it does not scream and cry for attention and it is quite easy to look after.
Metal: Mens rings are normally made in gold or silver, you can use platinum as an option but that would be quite expensive. Certain gems are more suited for gold, some gems look better in silver and yet others show their best in yellow or white gold settings. Black onyx is not fussy about the metal in which it is set. A men's onyx gem stone ring will look great in yellow or white gold or even silver. With gold price hitting all time highs, mens rings are increasingly moving towards silver.
Durability: Since men do not take too much care of the jewelry that they wear, durability is something that needs to be built into a mens black onyx ring. Most jewelers understand that durability of any jewel is not one single feature, it is influenced by many features. However, greed and selfishness drive them to compromise on durability. Onyx is a stable gem with an hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale. A few simple suggestions can add to the durability of an onyx mens ring. When cutting a black onyx stone, make sure that the stone is neither too thin or too thick. Thin gems can break easily with physical impact. At the same time an onyx with a deep cut would mean that, the stone protrudes well beyond the surface of the ring. This makes it prone to getting damaged by frontal physical impact.
Gem cutting: We already spoke about stone depth when cutting an onyx gem. Most onyx rings have a smooth cabachon cut. This cut helps highlight the high polish that onyx can show. We are aware that many jewelry manufacturers offer mens onyx gemstone rings with faceted onyx stones. Some of these facted stones have multiple face cuts (checkerboard) on the surface. The simple fact is that faceted stones can show signs of wear and tear on the facet lines, these are the lines that join one or more facets. Kaisilver onyx rings can be made with cabachon cut or faceted cut onyx gemstones because, each gem is custom cut and not selected from fixed inventories.
Gem touches finger: An onyx stone would be opaque, so onyx mens rings can actually have the portion under the gem (inside the ring) fully closed. We often get queries from men asking whether, an open gem base or a fully closed base is better. We can do either of these once again, because all our jewelry is custom made. Some people believe in the special properties of gems including onyx. In such cases it is believed that, allowing the gem to touch the finger when the ring is worn, enhances the properties of the stone. An open base will be required to accomplish this but, care should be taken that the base of the gem is not pointed or sharp as it could hurt the finger skin.
Metal weight: Mens rings are today made with 10 to 12 grams of gold, this is sad. Such low weight rings cannot be sturdy and will soon dent or bend. When you make a mens onyx ring with low metal weight, the thickness of the metal is insufficient and this weakens the ring. Good gem stone mounting will also require sufficient metal weight. Kaisilver mens gemstone rings are generally made with a minimum weight of 20 grams, this can go as high as 30 to 40 grams depending on the ring size and dimensions. It is no surprise that a mens gold black onyx ring with good weight might go beyond many budgets. Just remember that a good sturdy, well crafted 925 sterling silver black onyx ring is much better than a light weight flimsy onyx ring in gold.
