Jewelry

What is SWAROVKSKI ZIRCONIA?

Our PRISM Collection is Made with SWAROVSKI ZIRCONIA. Stones made with Zirconia, sometimes referred to as Cubic Zirconia, are flawless competitors to Diamonds. The SWAROVSKI ZIRCONIA stones used in our jewelry are cut using the Swarovski Pure Brilliance cut which offers the same brightness (brilliance) as the highest brilliance cut Tolkowsky Diamond. You can choose from 11 different colors to create a totally unique design.

Is SWAROVSKI ZIRCONIA the same as Swarovski Crystal?

No, SWAROVSKI ZIRCONIA is made from Zirconia which has many properties that are similar to a Diamond and in many cases is visually indistinguishable from a Diamond.

Will my ring look exactly like the preview image on the web site?

When you personalize a ring on jewlr, you will see a "preview" of your item with your customizations. This preview is created to give you an idea as to what your item will look like. The actual manufactured item will look very similar (in most cases much better!!) than the the preview image.

What Is Family Jewelry?

Family Jewelry can be a ring, necklace or bracelet, for a grandmother, mother, or daughter that is set with the birthstone of each family member some of which may be engraved with each family member's name. All Family Jewelry products carry a theme surrounding families.

What is a Mothers Ring?

A Mother's Ring is one that contains 3 or more gemstones; each of which represents the birthmonth of the Mother, Father, child or children.

What is a Grandmothers Ring?

This special ring features the gemstones of the Grandparent's children and her children's child or children. Alternatively, it can feature just the grandchild or grandchildren's birthstones. Styles range from 5 to 12 gemstones.

What is a Daughter's Ring?

A Daughter's Ring has 3 gemstones, with a predominant birthstone representing the daughter's birthmonth. Two smaller birthstones represent the birthmonth of the Mother and Father.

What is a Couples Ring?

A couples ring is a cherished keepsake between sweethearts; these rings have 2 stones representing the birthmonth of the sweetheart or parents.

What are birthstones?

Birthstones are gemstones that are traditionally associated with the twelve birth months of the year. Birthstones are available as genuine or synthetic gemstones.

Genuine gemstones are rarer and more expensive than synthetic gemstones. Diamonds, Sapphires, Emeralds and Rubies are offered as an additional upgrade at an additional charge.

What is the difference between synthetic gemstones and genuine gemstones?

The only difference is that synthetic gemstones are grown in a laboratory vs. genuine gemstones that are formed in nature. In order for a laboratory grown gemstone to be called synthetic, it must have a genuine counterpart and must match in chemical and physical properties i.e. crystal structure, chemical composition, hardness etc.

Genuine gemstones have taken millions of years to form, deep within the earth. During the formation, different oxides have mixed, creating different colors within the same gemstone group e.g. sapphires (pink, yellow, purple, blue etc). However, because these oxides enter in different quantities the colors between the same gemstone e.g. blue sapphire, can widely vary and are difficult to match in a piece of jewelry. No two genuine gemstones are identical.

The benefits of synthetic vs. genuine is that the colors in synthetic gemstones are consistent and can be easily matched. They are also more affordable than a genuine gemstone of the same size, color and quality e.g. ruby, sapphire and emerald, since the colors of synthetic gemstones usually replicate a fine quality genuine gemstone.

What is the difference between 10K & 14K gold?

The term "karat" designates the amount of gold found in a piece of jewelry: 24 karats is pure gold, but since pure gold is too soft to produce jewelry, it is generally mixed with other metals to produce a harder, more workable alloy. While 14 karats (14k) indicates that 14 parts out of 24 are gold, the other parts being made up of the other metals. Similarly, 10 karats (10k) indicates that 10 parts out of 24 are gold.

What is sterling silver?

Only a silver item that contains 92.5% silver can be referred to as, or stamped sterling silver. The remaining 7.5% is an alloy, usually copper, to increase the hardness. The stamp can appear as 925, .925 or 92.5, as opposed to a karat stamp. Although this is the standard for the United States other countries may have lower grades.

Will silver tarnish?

Yes, it is in the nature of silver to tarnish. Any mild jewelry cleaner will remove the tarnishing. However, if silver is used or worn daily, it will not tarnish due to the constant natural polishing action of wear.

How should I take care of my Family or Personalized Jewelry item?

As with any fine jewelry, each piece of your sterling silver or gold jewelry should be stored individually (either in its own soft pouch or in a separate compartment in a jewelry box). Scratches will occur if you allow the pieces to rub against one other. Due to the wear and stress that can be caused to jewelry, we recommend that you remove your jewelry at the end of the day and store it as noted.

Avoid contact with chlorinated water and household cleaners such as bleach or ammonia.

If your purchased item contains gemstones, we recommend that you have the claws checked on a regular basis. Should you be informed that a stone is loose or repair work is necessary to the claws, please return it to the manufacturer.
