Mens Lapis Ring
Lapis Lazuli Gold Or 925 Silver Rings For Men
The popularity of blue
gems for mens jewelry is well known, blue lapis mens rings can be found in gold
and sterling silver. The Egyptians were known to wear lapis jewelry thousands of
years ago, carved scarabs in lapis lazula were also common. There is no
technical explanation why silver mens lapis rings are more common as compared to
gold rings with the gemstone. The relatively cheap price of blue lapis is
probably the reason why the demand for the gem is predominant in the silver
jewelry industry. There is one thing that you will notice in lady's and mens
lapis rings, this relates to the metal mounting of the ring. These rings would
rarely have a simple band, intricate bands or at least some texturing is almost
always present on such rings, this is true even for men's blue lapis gem stone
rings.
Through history blue lapis gems have had applications that go
beyond jewelry. A paint pigment with the intense blue 'ultramarine' color used
crushed blue lapis to get color. Reliable historic records also report of lapis
powder being used in cosmetics. Larger masses of blue lapis gemstones are even
today used for carvings and sculptures. The initial entry of blue lapis in the
gems and jewelry sector was in the form of lapis pendants and lapis amulets.
While the earliest mining operations of blue lapis for the jewelry industry was
done in the mountains of Afghanistan, mining operations are now active in other
countries too.
Coming to the physical properties of the gem stone in a
men's lapis lazuli ring, here are the important details. The gem stone has a
hardness of 5 to 6. not exactly soft but a gem that you should keep away from
physical impact. Jewelry conventions would claim that the blue lapis is not
ideally suited for mens rings, but you will come across several lapis mens rings
in both gold and silver. The design and structure of your lapis mens ring can
help in reducing the chances of the gem being damaged through physical impact.
Make sure that the gem has sufficient thickness (depth) as this can act as shock
absorber to a certain extent. Though blue lapis is not very expensive, stay away
from the temptation of using a large stone that protrudes too much out of the
mounting. The more the gem protrudes out from the ring, the higher the chance of
it hitting against a hard object like a table, wall etc. Another very useful
suggestion for your gold or sterling silver men's lapis ring is to have the
entire gem stone bordered with metal. This is a good idea for all men's rings so
do keep it mind.

Talking about the color for the gem in a lapis ring,
interesting issues need to be understood here too. Many buyers with little
knowledge about lapis have a common preference, a deep blue lapis lazuli gem
with no marks or spots on the stone. We really do not blame the buyer as
jewelers rarely explain the facts to the buyer. So if you are thinking of
getting a men's blue lapis ring, read these details. Blue lapis is actually a
combination of minerals and not a single mineral. The stone is made up mainly of
blue lazurite which incidentally belongs to the sodalite group of minerals. You
will also notice grains in the blue lapis, these are basically calcite and
pyrite grains. The grains are not very large and neither are they microscopic,
you can see them with the naked eye. If you prefer to have a blue lapis that
lacks any of these grains and is just a deep (ultramarine color), you should
know that you will be getting a blue lapis that is color dyed. On the other
hand, natural blue lapis gems always show grains of calcite and pyrite. You
should however avoid using a blue lapis that has patches of white, these are
mainly calcite patches. So the best gem stone for your men's blue lapiz lazuli
gem stone ring, would have scattered grains of calcite and pyrite. There is
nothing wrong in going for a dyed blue lapis gem as long as, you know what you
are getting.
If you have read and understood the information on this web
page so far, you will find it easy to pick the good researched features of the
MAN66 men's blue lapis gold or silver ring. We will therefore list the features
of this gold or sterling silver men's ring briefly. You are welcome to send us
your queries or doubts by email. Rest assured that the advice that we provide
will be professional and straightforward. Good jewelry speaks for itself and you
really don't need the noise and cacophony of a selling ceremony here.
You should keep your blue lapis men's rings away from chemicals and
detergents. It is also not advisable to soak the ring in water or use ultrasound
cleaners to clean the ring. If you choose a sterling silver men's lapis ring,
ocassionally wipe the ring with a soft moist (not dripping wet) cloth. This will
reduce the chances of stubborn tarnish developing on your 925 silver blue lapis
ring. Ensure that the cloth is not coarse or fitted with metal hooks or clips.
If you should clean your silver lapis ring with silver tarnish cleaning
solutions, do not use too much of the material. Wash the ring in cool, clean
water immediately after polishing it. This will help take off an residual
chemicals that are still clinging to the lapis stone.

The price of the yellow or white gold mens lapis ring is the same. If you order a silver men's ring, choose to leave the ring unplated. Rhodium, gold or any other plating on a silver ring will wear off after some time. The gold rings are solid gold and not merely plated on silver. A 14k mens lapis gem stone ring would be more durable as compared to an 18k ring as, 14k gold is much harder than 18k gold. We however, provide both gold options. If you need a gemstone not mentioned in the tables, please email us details at sales@kaisilver.com and we will procure and custom cut the gemstone for your ring.

Blue lapis has been mined for over 6,000 years, the fact that it is available in many countries keeps the price modest. The Europeans referred to Lapis Lazuli as ultramarine, because of it's blue color. Literally, ultramarine means beyond the sea. Wearing a lapis ring is supposed to develop personal expression and intuition. Being a protective gem stone, your lapis mens ring will also encourage tranquility and peace. If you believe in the use of gems for Feng Shui, lapis is believed to be the primary stone of the northeast direction.

I received the ring on Friday, December 21 at 3:14 PM. It looks gorgeous! The ring crafters did an excellent job with it. I highly commend all of the workers who were involved with the production of this ring. The band is very masculinely thick, yet the fit of the ring is buttery smooth. The cut amethyst looks wonderful in the setting - more so than I had expected. Your sales staff has been extremely professional throughout the past weeks since I ordered the ring. I am sure that I will speak highly of Kaisilver in the years to come. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Great Job! I will be your best salesman here. Thank you, Tony Elrod, U.S.A |
Dear Kaisilver Associates, I would like to take this opportunity to personally offer my recommendation of Kaisilver for top-quality custom jewelry. I located Kaisilver through the internet and was, as you might imagine, somewhat apprehensive about sending money to people I had never met. Nevertheless, I used PayPal and we began working on a custom-designed gold pendant for me.... Associates of Kaisilver worked with me every step of the way graciously, courteously, and promptly, accepting the ideas that would work and recommending alternatives to ideas that would not work..... Another part of the process I would like to emphasize is Kaisilver's thoroughness and conviction to customer satisfaction.....I am pleased to recommend Kaisilver for your custom jewelry needs and feel certain they will meet your expectations with the same dedication demonstrated toward me. Mr.Carl Weeder, U.S.A. |
I have to say that the ring and pendant are by far the most beautiful Jewellery I have ever seen! You can just tell by the weight and detail that they are one of a kind! Everything I asked for was done with no fuss, even suggestions were made as to what was best for me. The Jewellery only took 6 weeks to be hand made and sent to me, delivery was very fast and I even got a tracking number. The communication for Kaisilver staff was excellent, always friendly and I was never made to feel like I was bothering them. You can email them anytime and they will respond within a day. Everyone who has seen my Jewellery can't believe how beautiful the ring and pendant is. I really can't thank you all enough. I don't mind if Kaisilver shows my email address so that other people can ask me questions about the Jewellery. Thanks again!! Ms. Lauren Johnstone, Scotland, U.K |

When you choose a men's lapis ring remember to pay attention to the thickness of the blue lapis and also the way in which it is mounted. It is good to believe that blue lapis is an opaque gem. Gemologists might tell you that thin sections of blue lapis can show some transluscence but, gems with no thickness can break very easily. At the same time beware of lapis rings where the gems have been faceted. This might appear unique but with a hardness of just 5 to 6, you would not want to increase chances of damage by chipping facets on the cut stone. Your blue lapis lazuli gold or silver ring should ideally have a smooth cut (cabachon) gem. A simple octogonal cut might still be durable but you should avoid fancy checkerboard cuts by all means. At the same time avoid a blue lapis mens ring where the stone juts out too much above the surface of the ring, this could cause the stone to damage easily.
