Men's rings made of gold with stones
For men, gold rings with intricate patterns, adorned with precious stones, are created. Such a ring is ideal as a gift, can be an engagement ring or just a bright accessory. In addition, men's rings made of gold with stones can be an indicator of the status and prestige of their owner, belonging to a certain club or an aristocratic family.
Material
The most popular for making jewelry is 14 carat gold (14k). This marking means that 14 parts of gold and 10 parts of other metals (silver, copper, nickel, zinc, aluminum and sometimes even platinum) are mixed in the alloy. It's the perfect balance of strength and shine.
Rings for men are usually produced in 10k, 14k and 18k and come in a variety of colors. Yellow and white, as well as certain shades of rose gold, are most popular right now. Gold in its natural yellow color is certainly very beautiful; however, its white versions are more neutral and go better with almost any clothing and with such a familiar masculine accessory as a watch.
Men's gold rings are offered in various thicknesses. If a man has large fingers with protruding joints, then a ring made of a wide strip of metal will look harmonious on them.But, if he has small thin fingers, then a narrow gold ring will suit him better.
Men's rings made of gold with stones, as a rule, are large, square in shape, with noticeable overlays and inserts.
Decorate men's gold rings with precious stones that add individuality and charm; they make the rings more exclusive. These can be diamonds, which are popular for their elegance and versatility, or other gemstones. It can be emeralds, rubies or sapphires.
diamonds
Overlays on men's rings may include one large, bright diamond. Rings with such a stone are most often simple and concise, because the beauty and brilliance of a diamond is enough to create an impression of majesty and status of the owner. The setting for such a stone is selected in accordance with its shade. Usually it is white gold, platinum.
Recently, there have been options for combining diamonds with black rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver, or even black ion-plated stainless steel. Such combinations are found in brutal gothic rings, or in rings in the Celtic style.
Diamonds in the overlay can be of various sizes and shades. They can be arranged in rows or in bulk, and also complement a pattern made of metal or another precious stone. For men's rings, large stones of the "radiant", "emerald", "usher" cut are used.
Sapphires and emeralds
In men's rings made of gold, especially white, sapphires and emeralds are very beautiful. These gems have the so-called "star effect". This means that they have natural inclusions that give the impression that a star of light appears and glides on top of the stone.
Sapphires that exhibit this property are known as "star sapphires". Emeralds and rubies also have a similar effect. Large gemstones in men's rings are cut in the same style as diamonds. They look no less great, and are valued just as highly, and in some cases even more expensive.
Often, colored stones are surrounded by a scattering of medium-sized diamonds in order to emphasize their purity and brilliance. These rings look very harmonious and elegant. The linings on men's rings attract attention, in which paths of colored stones are interspersed with paths of transparent shining diamonds.
With amethyst and topaz
The central stone in a men's ring can also be topaz or amethyst. These gems are close to each other in greenish-blue hues.
There is a historically established stereotype that amethyst is a stone of priests. Once an amethyst ring belonged to the Apostle Paul. In his honor, each cardinal is given an amethyst ring. This tradition continues to this day. Amethyst rings are often made in a silver frame, which is also a tribute to tradition. Gently - purple amethyst is perfectly complemented by medium-sized diamonds, and in rings of a simpler rank - white topazes or cubic zirconias.
Topazes can be white, blue, turquoise - blue, and more recently even the rainbow spectrum. Plain white topaz gets such a spectacular shade when it is processed using the latest technology using titanium atoms. At the same time, the stone acquires a fantastic shade, similar to that which gives light passing through a glass prism. Such stones are called "mystical green topaz" and are very popular in the creation of men's rings.
Rings with topaz can be smooth, ribbed, square. Stones are used in round cut, princess cut, asscher cut or radiant cut. Complemented on the sides with diamonds inserted in the form of stripes or triangles.
with black stone
For brutal men's rings, expressive and powerful, they use such a rare stone as carbonado or black diamond.
Black diamonds have been used to create men's jewelry since the early 19th century, but at the beginning of the 20th century they fell out of fashion and were rarely used by jewelers. This was due to the fact that these stones are more difficult to process than ordinary diamonds and require a lot of time.
In 1996, renowned Swiss jeweler Favad Gruosi brought the stone back to the jewelry market with a line of black diamond jewelry. Now the world's leading designers are actively using carbonade in their works. Black captivates with its discreet beauty, and this option is a good way for the eyes to take a break from the traditional variety of shades.
Black diamond is traditionally considered a masculine diamond. Most men now prefer this bright and masculine stone. Elegant and as luxurious as its white counterpart, the black diamond creates a unique contrast with white metals, especially with a pattern of white diamonds in one ring. Designers quickly appreciated the possibilities of such combinations and created many unique jewelry for men. The metals used are titanium, palladium, platinum, white gold or silver. Also used is black rhodium plating. As a result, the black stone ring turned out to be exclusive, courageous and daring.Being extremely rare, they tend to be more expensive than white and yellow diamonds.
Choosing a men's gold ring with diamonds or other precious stones is, of course, a matter of your taste, style and budget. However, do not forget that such an acquisition is also a long-term investment in your personal success and attractiveness.
