Silver Or Gold: When you talk about jewelry and more specifically rings for men, the discussion on gold or silver gains importance. The discussion is most often clouded due the fact that, jewelers compromise on quality features when it comes to sterling silver jewelry. With the issue now clear that, Kaisilver maintains the same superior quality standards for gold and silver rings (and jewelry), we can open up the discussion much wider. Gold and silver and both precious metals, both these metals are technically too soft to be made into durable jewelry. This raises the need for them to be alloyed with other metals. Men have a liking for silver, the casual and yet confident look of the metal makes it a favorite for men's rings. There is no doubt that a men's sterling silver ring would be priced lower than its gold counterpart. When it comes to gold rings for men, you could choose white, yellow or pink (rose) gold but white and yellow gold are favorites.
While you could request for a 10k, 14k or 18k gold ring for men, it is 14k men's rings that have always been preferred. Technically speaking, 14k gold offers the ideal balance between hardness and gold content. Having said that, the final decision is yours. One more clarification is that white, yellow and rose gold have the same degree of hardness - this within each 'k' number.
The weight of the metal is an important factor that influences the durability of a men's ring. With Kaisilver assigning no less than 25 grams of metal (gold or silver) for mens rings, this can be a significant cost factor when the ring is crafted in gold. This obviously becomes more affordable when the ring is ordered in sterling silver. The decision to choose a silver men's ring is largely stress free at Kaisilver since, you get the same quality standards as the gold ring.
There is one thing about silver jewelry that is generally glossed over by jewelers. Silver will always show signs of tarnish over a period of time, this is a natural phenomenon. Jewelers tell you that, plating silver with rhodium, gold, platinum etc will prevent your silver ring from tarnishing. This is really not true as, plating on silver will never last permanently - it will tend to wear off in patches. Back to tarnish, this is something that can be easily handled if the cleaning process happens just as it sets in. Allowing the tarnish to grow stubborn, will require professional cleaning. At Kaisilver, we will recommend that your silver sapphire ring be left un-plated. Such a ring will tarnish but cleaning it, will be a lot easier to clean when, compared to a plated ring that has a patchy wear of the plating. But if it is a plated ring that you prefer, let us know and we will do it for you.
