Choosing The Right Man Onyx Ring
Man Onyx Ring, Features Of Good Men's Onyx RingsThe high popularity of man onyx rings obviously means that, thousands of styles and designs can be found. This might seem great for the buyer, but can also be very confusing. With each jeweller claiming that he has the best man onyx ring, the buyer needs to be able to evaluate a few design options before making a decision. It would be quite easy if the right man onyx gemstone ring could be chosen by merely, checking the price tag and looking at it's external appearance. Unfortunately, this would not work to the benefit of the buyer in the long term. A cheap men's onyx ring would need to compromise on metal weight, gemstone quality or craftsmanship. The attractive external appearance of such a man onyx ring would soon get ruined, the ring could bend and dent or the gemstone could drop off. In this article we hope to provide you with information regarding, the features that should be present in every man onyx ring. Read the information and understand it, it will ensure that you do not get fooled by some smart sales talk.
Ring design: You should know that a good design for your man onyx ring does more than just make it look good. The design will define the dimensions for the men's onyx ring, these dimensions should take the weight of the ring into consideration. A large ring format with low weight would not be sturdy. An onyx ring with a design that has the gemstone bordered with metal would be better than, a design that mounts the onyx gemstone with prongs. Prongs tend to open up when they stick in pockets and other places. This could loosen the gemstone in your man onyx ring.
Ring weight: The weight of a man onyx gemstone ring would be defined by the weight of the metal. Since your man onyx ring could be made in gold or sterling silver, the metal weight would be the silver or gold weight. It is important that your onyx men's ring has a weight that, is proportionate to the ring size and dimensions. A firm gemstone mounting where the metal borders the entire edge of the gemstone, will also need a healthy metal weight. Jewellers are aware of the importance of good metal weight for men's rings, they however compromise on this and try to create jewelry that appears cheap. A buyer might be impressed by the low price tag, but such a ring would soon bend and lose shape, the gemstone could drop off the mounting too. You should know that good metal weight, is important for a gold or silver man onyx ring. If a sturdy man onyx gold ring is beyond your budget, choose a sturdy well crafted silver onyx men's ring instead.
Gemstone: The onyx gemstone in your ring is an important component of the ring. You should therefore understand a few issues that relate to the gemstone. We have already discussed the best gemstone mount for your man onyx ring, a metal border all around the edge. Besides this, try to choose an onyx men's ring where the onyx gemstone does not protrude too much from the mount. The gemstone on such a ring can be easily damaged with physical impact. Similarly, an onyx gemstone with a fancy checkerboard cut might look good, but the multiple facets also mean that the gemstone can get easily damaged. Since the onyx gemstone is opaque, you can request for the portion under the gemstone to be fully closed. Many buyers feel that a man onyx ring that is fully closed inside the band, is easier to clean. This is quite true so you can request for such a band for your onyx ring.
Gold or silver: A good jeweller should always give you the option to choose gold or sterling silver. At the same time, you should be ensured of the same quality craftsmanship and gemstone options for your gold or sterling silver man onyx ring. The truth is that almost no jeweller, would be willing to make a single piece good quality silver onyx ring for you. The mad rush for high profit margins has driven most jewellers to accept gold jewelry orders. If you do find a silver man onyx ring, check the features of the ring and make sure that it will be strong and sturdy. Men prefer silver onyx rings because of their classic look and modest price tags, it would be sad if you ended up with a light weight, clumsily made men's sterling silver onyx ring. If you are looking for a man gold onyx ring, the choice of white gold or yellow gold is entirely up to you. This is because the gemstone looks equally good in yellow or white gold. Just make sure that your gold man onyx ring has sufficient gold weight to keep it sturdy. If this moves the price beyond your budget, go for a good quality silver men's onyx gemstone ring.
