"WHY IS MY WHITE GOLD RING TURNING YELLOW???"

This is a common question that plagues my store weekly. Not long ago jewelers discovered that yellow gold can be inexpensively turned white if they Rhodium plate the jewelery piece. This process also could be done over small diamonds which also help to hold a small burnished diamonds into place. The problem is that over time the rhodium plating wears off (especially on the shank). Also, if the jeweler applies any heat to the jewelery during the repair process, the rhodium needs to be reapplied. I don't have a clue what the current cost of rhodium plating is because I don't believe in it (there... I said it!). Needless to say, the inexpensive piece of white gold jewelery now cost considerably more to repair than a slightly higher price white gold piece.
Naturally, gold is not found in a white color, so the gold is mixed with different "metals" to give it's white appearance. The following is copied directly from my Mettallurgy of Karat Golds book:
White golds are created by replacing the silver in the traditional gold-copper-silver-zinc compositions used for 14 and 18K yellow gold with nickel. The nickel and zinc present in white golds reduce the red and yellow colors relected by the copper and gold. Unfortunately, this reduction in the red-yellow reflections is no where near 100% efficient and some red-yellows are still reflected. These nickel and zinc additions also do not increase the reflection of the green-blue-violet colors in white light. Remember that silver has a very high reflectivity for all the colors in the visible spectrum. The net result is that nickel white golds can have yellow tint and they are not as white as silver.
NO Jeweler has the right to say that all white gold is actually rhodium plated yellow gold. In fine white gold jewelry, the gold is not rhodium plated yellow gold, although some jewelers will rhodium plate over a true white gold to add brilliance to it's color, and that's fine. Keep in mind however, that if you have an allergy to nickel, you may want to stay away from white gold.

Gold Weight

As a follow-up to the last post, I wanted to explain about DWT. Jewelers measure gold (without gemstones) in several ways, Grains, Grams, Kilograms (kg), Aviordupois Ounce, Troy Ounce, Pennyweights (dwt), even in pounds. We use conversion factors for each. When you see the price of the gold market which changes frequently with the stock market, the price of the gold is per Troy Ounce. I usually weigh gold in grams then convert it to troy ounce. So for example someone brings in a ring with a weight of 3.36 grams, then I multiply it by the conversion factor of 0.03215 = .11 (troy ounce) then multiply it by the current gold market (example: $723) = $79.53
I'm always amazed when someone wants me to appraise an item for more than it's worth. I had a lady come in with a hollow 14k gold bangle bracelet that thought it should be appraised at more than $800. After weighing the item, explaining my mathematics, and showing her how my brand new bracelets sell for far less, she still left in a huff. Well you can't win them all.
So when we say "dwt"this is not gram, or troy ounce, it means pennyweight. Item #62280 on our site is 4.09 dwt. The conversion for dwt to grams is x 1.5551 so this item is 6.36 grams x .03215 (to troy ounce) = .20 x current gold market price (example: $723) = $144.60 Yes, I know this is selling for more than $1000, but don't forget about the diamonds, and also that it's not just a lump of raw gold.
So now that you know what dwt is, and you know that all settings have a dwt, COMPARE, COMPARE, COMPARE. When it comes to jewelry, bigger really is better.

Buying Jewelery Online

Last night I couldn't sleep and turned on the TV to one of those jewelery channels, (if that don't put you to sleep, nothing will.) They were selling jewelery for "once in a lifetime" prices. It looked great on the TV, in the bright lights, showing off all of its sparkle. I thought "WOW... I can't get that stuff for cost, where are they getting it from?" Then I remembered last November, when my stock was running low in the displays and the Christmas rush was coming up. I searched the internet looking for some great deals, better than my usual vendors pricing. I found a couple of sites with pictures of beautiful jewelery, and quickly started placing my orders in the tune of a few thousand dollars. Thier sites said "Certified stones, money back guarantee, fast shipping ect." I found ruby, sapphire and diamond rings for less than $150! A ruby ring with a value of $900 for only $150!!! I can sell that for $450 and still make a good profit!!! YEAH RIGHT... The biggest shopping day after Thanksgiving came and went, and I placed numerous calls to these vendors wondering where was the order I placed, and why were they charging me this huge handling fee. I spoke to several people who didn't understand english then my order finally came. The certification of the stones they sent me was a unsigned piece of paper, really not worth anything. The stones were a very poor quality grade, the diamonds were chips usually used in tools not jewelery, and the gold, well it was gold but so thin I could probably bend it with my fingers. Ok so I'll just return it right??? Well if you speak a another language maybe, and of course there is re-stocking fees, and you don't get reimbursed for thier shipping and handling fee. So what happened to this jewelery? Embarrased to display this jewelery, I priced it at cost and sold most of it to the bargain hunter customers. Some of it I replaced the stones with a better quality. The rest of it is still "On Sale" (its been on sale for 9 months now.)
So the moral of this story is, BUYER BEWARE... When it comes to jewelry, you really do get what you pay for. Don't buy something unless there is a grade on the stones, a weight (dwt) to the setting. Does the store welcome questions about their product, better yet, do they speak english? What are the hidden fees? What is the return policy?
Each piece on my site does not have a grade for every stone or a weight for every setting, but I do have a phone number where those questions can be answered. I offer Free Shipping, with no handling fees and a 30 day no questions asked Money Back Guarantee. Compare my prices to others on the internet and there are others that offer jewelry for less than mine, but I'd rather sell quality for a bit more than sell quantity junk.

Why Buy Tanzanite????

If your looking for a great investment in gemstones right now, grab all the Tanzanite you can find. If you find a Tanzanite with a AAA Grade, preferably rich, deep, bluish hues, HOLD ON TO IT, no matter what size or cut it is. Why? Do your research and you will find out that Tanzanite is a relatively newly found (1962) gemstone from Tanzania, and found only in Tanzania. These beautifully colored gems are becoming harder and harder to find in the mine. If they cannot find anymore, guess what, supply and demand will drive up the prices considerably. In 10 to 20 years it is anyone's guess what the price will be...





If you get a loose tanzanite gem, use a reputable jeweler to set it. This gem is susceptible to thermal shock and should never be in a ultrasonic or steamed. 6 to 7 on Mohs Scale.





I have found some awesome set stones and have them on Special on my site.

The 4 C's of a Diamond

THE FIRST C
CLARITY

FL: Flawless No blemishes or inclusions when viewed under 10X magnification.
IF: Internally Flawless No inclusions and only insignificant surface blemishes under 10X
VVS1: Very, very slight inclusions Minute inclusions that are difficult to see under 10X
VVS2: Very, very slight inclusions Minute inclusions that are difficult to see under 10X
VS1: Very slight inclusions Minor inclusions ranging from diffult to somewhat easy to see, face up, under 10X
VS2: Very slight inclusions Minor inclusions ranging from difficult to somewhat easy to see, face up, under 10X
SI1: Slight inclusions Noticeable inclusions that are easy to see under 10X. Clean, face up, to the naked eye.
SI2: Slight inclusions Noticeable inclusions that are very easy to see under 10X. Clean, face up, to the naked eye.
I1,I2,I3: Imperfect Obvious inclusions that are usually visible, face up, to the naked eye.

Diamonds up to SI2 are fine for 1/2 carat stones or larger. We never recomend I1, I2, or I3 diamonds unless they are being used in very small accent diamonds 2mm or less.
I1, I2, and I3 diamonds are what they say "imperfect", lower in cost, but will not be of much value later. They usually have dark inclusions which rob the diamond of it's sparkle, and are hard to see through because they resemble the inside of an ice cube.
A good clarity is a diamond that is easy to see to the bottom (culet), and acceptable to see a small "black speck" or two under 10X magnification.


THE SECOND C
COLOR

Diamonds up to J are fine for 1/2 carat stones or larger. We never recomend K and up diamonds unless they are being used in very small accent diamonds 2mm or less.
L color and up are lower in cost, but will not be of much value later. They usually have a visible dull yellow hue visible to the naked eye in bright light.
A good color diamond will not show any tints of yellow even in a yellow gold setting and under 10X magnification.
NOTE: Diamonds come in a variety of colors including green, yellow, blue, cognac, chocolate and black. These diamonds are not as valuable as a good clear white diamond. These colored diamonds are Irradiated (R) or Heat Treated (H) to bring out these different colors.


THE THIRD C
CUT

Cut has the greatest influence on a diamond's fire and brilliance. A round, brilliant-cut diamond has 58 facets. When it is well-proportioned, this shape best shows the stone's brilliance because it allows the most light to be reflected back to the eye of the observer. Stones that appear lifeless or seem dark in the center are probably poorly cut. When the relationship of the angle between the crown (the top) and pavilion (the depth) facets is correct, rays of light entering the diamond strike the rear facets at an angle greater that the critical angle and reflect back to the eye of the observer. If the stone is cut too deeply, the light strikes the rear facets at and angle less than the critical angle and the light is lost through the sides of the diamond. If the stone cut is too shallow, the light passes through the diamond without being reflected back.
To someone who doesn't know what to look for in a correct cut, it is best to first see how the diamond sparkles, is there prisms of light to the naked eye? Next, borrow the jewelers loop. Through magnification you will be able to see the bottom of the diamond's cut and see a series of geometric stars or triangles. Lastly, pay particular attention to the crown, does it look cut evenly like a perfect hexagon?


THE FORTH C
CARAT (weight)

Carat refers to the weight of the diamond not the size. Some diamonds look bigger than others but may be a smaller carat weight and visa-versa.
At A Bit of Everything Jewelers we like to pay close attention to the millimeter size as well as the carat weight.


TRICKS OF THE TRADE

Armed with knowledge, you will be more likely to make a good diamond purchase. When purchasing your diamond, however large or small it may be, don't be shy to ask questions of the jeweler. A reputable jeweler will be more than happy to answer your questions. Ask to inspect the diamond loose, out of the setting, with the jewelers loop. Inspect the diamond from the top and bottom, for any cracks, chips, or blemishes. If you see something, ask. The jeweler should be able to account for everything you notice.
Not all diamonds are certified, but all diamonds are graded. You can save several hundred dollars by buying a non-certified diamond and then taking it to a certified appraiser for certification. If a diamond is presented without a grade, pass it up. It is usually a poor diamond that has been graded something they don't want you to know.

DIAMONDS - Know your 4 c's before you buy

If I had a dollar from everyone who purchased a diamond from a large jewelry chain store for the same amount of money I would have charged them. Usually it's the young couple with a budget for a ring in mind, and in a real hurry to announce to the world through the diamond on her finger, "we're engaged". The conversation usually goes something like this: They say, "I just got a great deal on this ring."
"Is this a Certified Diamond?" I say.
"What does that mean?"
"Did they give you a certificate from GIA or someone who is qualified to certify the diamond?"
"No I just have a receipt from my purchase."
I say, "So what is the clarity or color they said the diamond is?"
"They said it was I2 and J color."
Of course my heart sinks as I realize they just purchased a poor diamond for the same amount I would have charged them for a much better diamond. They were the ideal customer to walk into the typical jewelry store. They didn't know the 4 c's and their lack of education was just what the salesperson loved. The poor quality diamond they purchased would have likely been there for sometime, and turned down by more diamond educated consumers. So in turn, the store, not knowing how long it would be before the next uneducated in diamonds customer would walk in, unloaded it for what the customer thought was a great deal. The store probably showed them a near flawless certified diamond of the same carat weight, costing considerably more, and said, "I have a great deal for you! Sold!"
Don't get me wrong, there are many reputable jewelry stores that try to explain the 4 c's and the value between the different diamonds, but of course there is always the exception.
In my store location, I have created a free hand-out explaining the 4 c's. If my customers don't understand the 4 c's I tell them, "Take this and study it. You have some homework to do before you buy a diamond. Do some comparison shopping then come back to me." Maybe I'm just embarrassing the customer, but I'm really just trying to help them. If I want a new computer, I really don't know the difference between the most expensive verses the least expensive, so I rely on the (hopefully trustworthy) salesperson to educate me to make the best decision. My knowledge of diamonds is not only based on experience in the business but through a GIA education.
Now through this blog, and my lack of computer experience, I will try to post the 4 c's. Hopefully it will arm you with the knowledge you need to purchase that diamond. Just remember the old saying, "you get what you pay for."
