How Durable is My Gemstone Jewellery?
First of all a note about the hardness and therefore relative durability of gemstones. To measure hardness, the jewellery industry uses the Mohs scale. This gem-trade standard, conceived by Friedrich Mohs in 1812, measures the ability of a gem or mineral to resist abrasion damage.Diamond at 10 is the hardest whereas talc at 1 is the softest. Popular gemstones like amethyst and citrine register 7 whereas rubies and sapphires register 9. Most of us come off the beach on the first day with the 3 s’s all achieved - rings caked in sand, sea-salt and suntan lotion. Nude sunbathing, as far as silver and gold jewellery is concerned, is a must! Remember also that sand will scratch the surface of precious metals.
Handmade wedding rings
To engrave each other's initials on the outside or inside of the rings the brides and grooms can also get handmade wedding rings. Handmade rings are very expensive because they are designed as per the desires of an individual. A handmade ring gives a personal touch and becomes a unique, memorable and valuable possession for them.Not all wedding rings were plain gold during the 19 th century. According to the style of handmade rings the wedding gowns of the bride can also be designed. And this gives the whole wedding affair a thematic touch. When you place an order for the handmade wedding rings you have to consider that once these handmade wedding rings are made it is not possible to give back or even exchange them because they are a personal item.
