The yin yang ring is surely one of the more meaningful jewels that has stood the test of time. The ancient Chinese symbol is today respected by millions of people all over the world. The interesting thing about a ying yang ring is that it does not show any religious belief or tradition. A stylish yin yang ring like the MAN76 from Kai Silver makes a fashion statement but, the deeper meaning is more important. While many jewelry lowers do wear various types of yin yang jewels for style or fashion - most people who wear a yin yang ring do so because of their respect for the symbol. The design and concept for a gold or 925 silver yin yang ring can be very simple or very extravagant. The MAN76 mens gold yin yang ring shown here, does seem a bit too lavish but the price tag will prove that it is really quite modest. We did say that you could get a silver or gold yin yang ring but, there are a few more options that you can pick to your advantage. We will talk about those and more in this report.
You could say the MAN76 is a gem stone ring, it would be more rightly described as a gemstone yin yang ring. While many yin yang rings merely use color to define and show the colors on the ring, Kai Silver has created a unique jewel. The white portion that you see in the ring, is white mother of pearl, the black portion is black onyx. It might have been easier to fill the portions with colored enamel instead of, attempting the intricate gem cutting that such a design would require. However this is really not relevant to us as we work with some of the industry's top gem cutters. If you were impressed with the gem setting in this yin yang gold or 925 silver ring, you should hear about the small round portions in the white and black sections. The black onyx portion has a white stone in the center, this is a white diamond. Similarly, we have set a black diamond in the white mother of pearl portion. So what you actually have here is a diamond and gem stone yin yang pendant.
Mens Gemstone Yin Yang Ring
The MAN31 is another example of a gem stone yin yang ring however, it is quite different from the MAN76 ring. In the case of the MAN76 Kaisilver mens yin yang ring, the gem stones actually formed the yin yang symbol. In the case of the MAN31 yin yang ring, the symbol does not form the main theme for the jewel. You have the symbol engraved into the side of the ring. The center piece in this case is the fine iolite gem stone that sits in the front of the ring. You could say that the yin yang symbol in such cases enhances the meaning of the gem stone ring. To put this into proper perspective we could, refer to a birthstone ring. A garnet ring would be a January birthstone ring but, the yin yang etched on the ring actually adds to the meaning and significance of the birthstone ring. You can see in this case, that a different symbol is etched on the left and right side of the center gem. At Kaisilver all jewelry is fully custom made, you can therefore choose the etching of your choice when ordering your ring. You ofcourse have the choice of gemstone and gold or 925 silver too. If you had to compare the level of meaning and significance of the MAN31 and MAN76 yin yang rings, we would say that they are on par. The position or size of the yin yang symbol does not affect the level of it's significance or importance.
Plain Yin Yang Rings
After seeing two classic example of gem stone yin yang rings, we come to a more simpler version of this meaningful jewel. You could say that the MH-03 plain yin yang ring is a quiet and meaningful ring. The yin yang symbol on this plain band ring, is very lightly reproduced on the ring. Take a close look at the image and you will notice that the ring has, the symbol spaced out all around the ring. Like we mentioned earlier, most people who buy gold or 925 sterling silver yin yang rings do so because of the meaning of the symbol. In many cases, a person might not want to loudly exhibit such preferences. If you wish to have the MH-03 yin yang ring concept but, prefer to have a more clearer depiction of the yin yang symbol, you can request for a similar etching depth as shown in the MAN31 mens yin yang gemstone ring on this page. Another option might be to have just one prominent symbol in the front of the ring. In any case, a single symbol or an entire row of symbols all around the band would have the same meaning. Such yin yang rings are suitable for men and ladies, the band width might have to be adjust according to personal preference, this is not an issue when custom yin yang rings are involved.
After having discussed about three very interesting concepts for a yin yang ring, we now come to another interesting topic. What is the meaning of the yin yang, after all THIS is the reason why people really buy or wear yin yang rings. Since the significance of the yin yang ring is in the symbol, let us interpret the various features of this historic Chinese symbol. The theme of the yin yang is that, two opposing forces can live side by side AND in harmony. This is aptly depicted by the black and white contrast. Every single feature of the yin yang is filled with meaning, the two small spots are an interesting example. You have a white spot in the black portion and vice versa. The significance of the yin yang is reflected in this seemingly minor feature too. What you can learn from the spots is that, nothing is all good or all bad. There is always a small piece of the opposing traits, habits or features in us. Still on the meaning of the yin yang, take a look at the shapes of the black and white portions. They are not divided by a straight line but, seem to be flowing into each other. This tells us that, life is never static it is always changing. If life seems to be tough and cruel today, it is bound to change for the better tomorrow and - there will always be a better tomorrow. At the same time, when things are going very good - it should not make us overconfident, or proud, or arrogant. We still need to keep our responsibilities in mind and remember that, things could go down again in the near or far future. The yin yang is not about being careful or pessimistic but rather about, leading a balanced life and respecting opposing views and sentiments. There is no religious impact of the symbol if we choose not to be involved in it. Everyone irrespective of religion, gender, age and profession can harness the benefits of the yin yang.
