jewelry,jewelry designs, new year collectionGems & Jewelry Great Tradition of India

Gems & Jewelry are a part of the most essential inventory of every women worldwide specially Indian household as almost all men and women from here are huge admirer of ornaments. The handicraft buyers of Indian’s   exported  gems and jewelry fashioned in

different designs and styles across world since 04thCentury A.D..

In early India, people fashioned jewelry out of natural materials found in abundance all over the sub continent  - seeds, feathers, leaves, berries, fruits, flowers, animal bones,

claws and teeth. Even today such jewelry is used by the different tribal societies. In India the ornaments are made practically for every part of the body. Such a variety of

ornaments bears the testimony to the excellent skills of the jewelers in India.

The range of jewelry varied from religious one to purely aesthetic one.

“ KUNDAN JEWELLERY FOR & OF ALL CENTURIES ”

One of the oldest forms of jewelry made and worn in India is the 22 Karat Solid  Gold Kundan Jewelry. Kundan work is a method of gem setting, consisting of inserting gold foil between the stones and its gold mount. Kundan jewelry received great patronage

during the Mughal era and the most beautiful pieces were created in those times.

Kundan Jewelry is made of gold that is highly refined and is known as Kundan in India.  Indian jewelers also have another meaning of the word.  For them, Kundan is not only the gold that is made into a jewel but also the type of setting on which they set the precious stones.  Kundan jewelry is not made of  all  solid gold.  Its center hollow part is filled

with lac or a natural resin made from hardened tree sap.  The jewelry pieces that makes the whole Kundan jewelry, which are usually justified into hollow separate halves, are

usually handled by separate jewelers or assistant jewelers for its shaping before they are fitted together through soldering.  Holes are then bored into the separate halves of the

Kundan jewelry, once they are fitted together to make the pattern designed by the jeweler.  These holes are where the stones are set. Any engraving is done before the

hollows of the Kundan jewelry are then inserted with lac.  Because the lac could still be seen through the holes in front, the highly refined Kundan gold almost 100% is poured on

the setting to cover the lac and only then is the stone pushed right into the still pliable Kundan.

Kundan Jewelry is one of the oldest forms of jewelry making. The purest, softest gold is hammered into very fine sheets and literally mounded around the stones to encase them and hold them in place. Light strikes the precious stones only from above dulling their

shine. So, to provide depth and refraction a piece of gold or silver foil is placed under the stone making it glow.

The term ''jewelry'' can be appropriately equated with women of all centuries. Jewelry is the desire of every woman and the good news is that there is abundance of costume jewelry in the present day markets. However, the down side of it is that it is quite a

difficult task to distinguish between the two jewelry products appearing the same. The perfect solution to get over with this confusion is going for a superior quality product,

which can last longer in comparison with the others. General Shingar House is a renowned name owing to the unsurpassed quality of its reliable products. We are a distinguished manufacturer, exporter and importer of Bracelets, Necklace, Bangles, Kundan Jewelry, Jodha Akbar Jewelry, Bridal Jewelry, Pearl Jewelry, Traditional

The Traditional Indian Collection includes bracelets, earrings, pendants, and necklaces in a vibrant variety of gems and stones made by artisans in India. The jewelry

of India knows no bounds in its offerings to the modern world. This is because India must be one of the most prolific countries when it comes to making jewelry, whether it is the simple enjoyable ones or the highly delicate ones that are intricate in its designs. There

are just many types of Indian jewelry that even the young could find what they want among its offering of beads and shells in interwoven colorful threads. One of the most

highly regarded Indian jewelry nowadays is the Kundan jewelry.

A mere look at enviable collection of Kundan Jewelry which is on display at most of Indian museums will leave you dumbstruck. You will be amazed at the masterpieces and the level of expertise and skill required in attaining such perfection in a piece of jewelry. Kundan jewelry was patronized by the royals and the rich in the past but with increasing

popularity, more and more people are opting for it.

Kundan Jewelry is another blend of gold jewelry. Here, highly refined gold is used in conjunction with a special material called lac. Lac is a natural resin made from a

hardened tree sap. Here, each piece of jewelry containing holes is separately made. These pieces are then joined to make one single piece by soldering. Engraving work is then

done, depending upon the design. Following this, lac is laid out in these holes and can be seen from the front side. On this highly refined gold is poured, followed by the precious

stone. The lac is covered by the gold and the precious stone is finally set. For extra durability, more Kundan or refined gold can be added.

A single piece of Kundan jewelry is done by different artisans. The chiterias do the work of basic designing of the jewelry, engraving work is carried out be gharias, the enameling

work is done be the enameler or MeenaKar , the goldsmith looks after the gold or Kundan work and finally stone setters do work of just setting the precious stone in the holes of the jewelry. Different precious stones which can be incorporated in Kundan

jewelry comprise of agate, garnet, emerald, topaz, amethyst, jade, rock crystal, spinel, uncut diamonds, sapphires etc.

Rajasthan and it city, Bikaner is well known for Kundan jewelry. You will be surprised to see the variety of Kundan jewelry available here ranging from jewelry sets, earrings, pendants, necklaces, bracelets, armbands, nose rings etc. Intricate motifs, designs and engravings make each piece of Kundan jewelry distinct and striking from each other. Most of the Kundan jewelry available today is replicas of earlier designs of the olden

days.Posted by Djewels at 12:02 AM 1 comments

The 6 C’s of Diamonds

When measuring the qualities of a diamond, there are 5 major things that diamond evaluators look at. They consider a diamond’s cut, clarity, color, carat weight and cost.

These 5 C’s determine the 6th C of diamonds … certificate.Cut

Cut really is the craftsmanship applied in cutting the facets of Diamond. Cut of a diamond reflects light and responsible for the gem’s brilliance, sparkle, beauty and value. The cut of a Diamond refers not only to the quality of the cut, but also to the shape of the

diamond and the number of its facets. A well cut diamond regardless of its shape, sparkles, has more fire and offers the greatest brilliance, and called “Brilliant Cut”.

Cut Too Shallow

When a diamond is cut too shallow, light escapes through the bottom, reducing the brilliance of the stone, making the general appearance watery glassy and dark.

Cut too Deep

When a diamond is cut too deep, light escapes through the bottom, reducing the brilliance of the stone, making the center appear dark.

Ideal Cut

Light entering the diamond reflects internally from facet to facet and is reflected back out only through the top. Therefore, an ideal cut yields maximum brilliance.

ColorColor is the natural body color visible in a diamond and is the one C determined

completely by nature, not man. As rule, the closer a diamond is to colorless, the more valuable and beautiful it is, the diamond color grading scale uses the letters of the

alphabet, beginning at “D” (colorless) and going to “Z”.Clarity

Clarity is an indication of a diamond’s purity. Expert grade a diamond’s clarity on the number, size, type and location of inclusions and blemishes. A diamond with greater

clarity will have greater brilliance and value.Carat

A diamond’s size is measured in carat weight means carat is a unit of measurement for diamond. Diamond prices tend to rise exponentially with carat weight. Each carat is equal

to Milligrams and divided into 100 Cents.Cost

The one of the most significant part of today’s 6 C’s Diamond world is cost. If someone is unable to get the Diamond at best price it is worthless to but. This cost factor makes the

6th CCertificate: – Perhaps the 5th ‘C’ when purchasing a diamond is the CERTIFICATE or

diamond report. This important document validates the diamond’s characteristics. A diamond certificate from a ‘no name’ laboratory or jewellery shop is not worth the paper it’s written on, insist on quality grading documents. The world’s foremost diamond report

and the leaders in diamond research are the inventors of the ‘4C’s ’; the GIA (Gemological Institute of America). There are other laboratories that also use the GIA

methods and/or have a very good reputation they are:

1. GIA: – Gemological Institute of America2. AGS: – American Gemological Society

3. HRD: – Antwerp World Diamond Centre4. IGI: – International Gemological Institute5. EGL: – European Gemological Laboratory

6. IGC: – International Gemologist CentreHuge amount of information on 6 C’s Diamonds pls. visit our web

All About Diamonds

Every body know that diamonds is most beautiful stones in over the entire world but a very few people know that what is diamonds and where is it found? Diamond may be up

to 3 billion years old, which is much older than their surface host rock. Diamond crystallization originates some 200 kilometers, or 320 miles, beneath the surface and the disaggregated crystals are merely transported to the surface via kimberlite and lamproite pipes. These igneous host rock formations are roughly cylindrical in shape and act as a conduit from the Earth’s mantle to the continental crust. Today, 75-80% of the world’s natural diamonds are used for industrial purposes and 20-25% for gemstones. Diamond

may even be found in meteorites.

Diamond is a colourless exceptionally hard mineral (but often tinted yellow, orange, blue, brown, or black by impurities), found in certain igneous rocks esp. the kimberlites of South Africa. It is used as a gemstone, as an abrasive, and on the working edges of

cutting tools. Composition: carbon. Formula: C. Crystal structure: cubic. Name derived from the Greek adamas meaning invincible. Relative density 3.50- 3.52. Cleavage

eminent along octahedral faces. Fracture conchoidal. Tenacity brittle. Lustre brilliantly adamantine. Refractive index 2.417- 2.419. Dispersion strong 0.044. Diamond crystals form as cubes, octahedra , the most common gem form, and dodecahedra. Colourless to yellow diamonds which have a strong absorbtion line in the violet end of the spectrum

are members of the Cape series. Color is usually pale yellow to colorless, but can also be brown, blue, green, orange, red, and black.

The most famous diamond bearing country is South Africa. The first diamond was reported in 1866. By 1869 an 83.5 carat diamond had been found and was named The

Star of Africa. It was subsequently cut into a pear shape brilliant weighing 47.74 carats. The Golconda area of Southern India has been the source of some famous diamonds such

as the Koh-i-nor (mountain of light 186cts cut to 108.92 cts and now in the Tower of

London) and Jehangir. Diamond is widespread in Brazil, most stones being small but of good gem quality. Alluvial diamonds have been found in most states of the USA. White and fancy coloured diamonds such as pinks and pinkish browns are mined at Argyle in North Western Australia. Other important producers are Russia, now the fourth largest

producer, and China.Huge amount of information on Diamonds so just log on our e-com web

Diamond is the hardest known naturally occurring stuff, scoring 10 on the relative Mohs scale of mineral hardness and having an total hardness value of between 167 and 231

gigapascals in a number of tests. Diamond’s hardness has been known ever since antiquity, and is the origin of its name. Nevertheless, aggregated diamond nanorods, an

allotrope of carbon first synthesized in 2005, are now known to be even harder than diamond.

The hardness of diamonds also contributes to its suitability as a gemstone. Because it can just be scratched by other diamonds, it maintains its polish exceptionally well, keeping its

luster over extensive periods of time.Unlike hardness, which sole denotes resistance to scratching, diamond’s toughness is only fair to good. Toughness relates to a material’s capacity to resist breakage from

strong impact. Diamonds cut into certain particular shapes are therefore much more prone to breakage than some others.

Diamonds appear in a variety of transparent hues colorless, white, steel, blue, yellow, orange, red, green, pink, brown or colored black. Diamonds with a detectable hue to them

are known as colored diamonds. Colored diamonds have in it impurities or structural

defects that cause the coloration, while pure or almost pure diamonds are transparent and colorless.

The carat weight measures the mass of a diamond. One carat is defined as exactly 200 milligrams (about 0.007 ounce). The point unit equal to one one-hundredth of a carat

(0.01 carat, or 2 mg) is commonly worn for diamonds of less than one carat.The price per carat does not grow smoothly with increasing size. Instead, there are sharp jumps around milestone carat weights, as demand is much higher for diamonds weighing

just more than a milestone than for those weighing just under. As an example, a 0.95 carat diamond may have a significantly lower price per carat than a comparable 1.05

carat diamond, because of differences in demand.Huge amount of information on Diamond Buying pls. visit our web

How to Know if a Diamond is Fake or Real

A diamond is a girl’s best friend! It is a beauty and unique nature makes it easy to admire. Diamond purchasing is a great task and an exciting pleasure. There are various

types of diamonds so when buying real diamonds, one should learn about fake diamonds so that you will be able to distinguish between the fake vs. real diamond. Nowadays the

best fake diamond is in great demand. Here are some of the simple solutions or the methods that will enable you to find out the difference between the fake vs. real diamond.

The best way to know about the precious diamond is to acquire knowledge from a diamond professional. If possible take the diamond along with you to the shop and get all the details from the jeweler. The best fake diamond looks so similar to the real diamond that even a professional diamond jeweler may get confused and may have hard time to

finding out whether it is a fake or the real diamond. In case you are not satisfied with the

views regarding the real diamond from the professional, here is a way to find out which is a real diamond and which is a fake diamond.

The first method is to check the diamond with the help of diamond tester as it will help you to differentiate between real diamond and best fake diamond. It is an electronic tester that can check all the diamonds except the moissanite stone for which the diamond tester

is not reliable. The best fake diamond is the cubic zirconia and the weight of this diamond is around 50% more than a real diamond of the same size and shape. This

weighing test also can find out the difference between fake vs. real diamond.

Another method for checking the best fake diamond is the transparency test in which the diamond is placed up side down on the news paper and if the written matter from the

newspaper is legible then be sure that the diamond is not the real one and it can be a best fake diamond. One of the disadvantages of this method is that some of the stones may appear to be a real diamond due its fine cutting. In this case, one needs to be sure about the cutting methods of the stones. This method is very common and enables you to find

the real diamond from the best fake diamond.

The third method that helps you to differentiate between fake vs. real diamond is the fog test. Hold the stone or the diamond and blow some air from your mouth on to the stone, if

the fog appears on the stone and stays there for next few seconds then it shows that the stone is a best fake diamond because in case of a real diamond, the heat disappears

instantly. The oily layers and dirt on the stone might create some problems to differentiate fake vs. real diamond. Thus, before carrying out a test for best fake diamond,

clean its surface properly.

The ultra violet test is another method that will enable you to find out the real diamond from the best fake diamond. The real diamond projects blue color light if put under the

ultra violet light or the black color. There are two options, if the blue light does not appear, it can be best fake diamond or can be a high quality diamond.

All of the above tests can satisfy all the test conditions to differentiate between a best fake diamond and the real diamond.
