Question : is there really such a thing as a red diamond?
i am working on a story - in which my 2nd major character has an pledge ring. its like a gem set wedding ring. i chose a 4 carat Red argyle diamond set in platinum. is there such a thing, if so what would her ring would be worth?
Answer:
Naturally occurring red diamonds do exist. Here's some info on them:http://www.serendiamonds.com/colors_red.aspxUnderstand that a perfectly pure diamond HAS to be clear (white). Naturally colored diamonds [diamonds that get their color while being formed underground] get their colors from additional chemicals or flaws present during their formation. If a diamond is nothing but carbon, then it's perfectly clear. If a diamond has some boron in it, it makes it blue.If it has some yellow, then nitrogen has been added to the pure carbon.Some colors are formed by "lattice defects" which are molecular flaws in the carbon framework. These result in brown, green, purple, pink, orange or red diamonds.

Question : I have a very ugly ring with a lot of pretty gems. How can I go about getting these gems set differently?
It has quite a few stones in it, but it's huge and gaudy. Any suggestions?
Answer:
that means you do not like this style!first, u could not change it by yourself. u have to send it to a jeweler to ask them re-new it: select a style which you could use those gems or part of it. it is going to cost u a lot of money. i suggest you buy a new one !second, i think everybody's taste will change with years on. you do not like it now ( for example you r 20), maybe you will like it when you r 30 or 40. meanwhile, normally, we should wear jewelry to match your clothes. it can be much better if you change another clothes! try ! maybe u could find : it is the pc u want!i m jeweler from china. u r welcome to contact me if u have any questions abt jewelry.good luck!

Question : On oblivion, were can i find nice gold jewelry?
I tried the jewelry store in the imperial city but they don't sell much gold. I'm level 2 and don't want to go much higher just yet so were can i find Gold gem set jewelry? Particularly rings not necklaces.
Answer:
Most of the jewelry I have I found was during missions. Either in dungeons or elsewhere, people give them to you for completing things too and etc. I do recall I got a nice necklace in the Captain's Quarters when some Anvil lady asked me to retrieve some crystal ball from the belly of her ship but like the last person said the game items change from time to time so it won't always be the same stuff. Also, if you are only a level 2 then to be looking for jewelry doesn't make a great amount of sense. You should be saving your $ to buy that dump of a house in the Waterfront district as it's rather expensive and will take time to get it. Once you have the house you can store all of your crap there and makes life a whole lot easier.

Question : What's a decent price for having your own gem set in a simple ring setting?
Excluding the price of the gem and the price of the setting, about how much is a decent price for setting it? I'm sorry, I don't know much about this stuff. My mother has always wanted an alexandrite (it's her birthstone), her sixtieth birthday is coming up, and I've found a nice gem on ebay but am hesitant to order it because I'm not sure if I'll be able to afford having it set.Thanks so much for any comments (except for the stupid ones that have no relevancy at all).
Answer:
If it's a natural alexandrite, a local jeweler will most likely charge more to set it because of the risk and liability if they chip it. If you're looking at a Lab Created or Simulated Alexandrite, then it shouldn't be much at all. If you're looking for a lab or simulated, www.jamminggems.com has a good selection. They also carry settings, and offer setting services for $2.50 - $5.00 a stone (when purchased from them).If you're buying a natural gem on Ebay (especially a rare gem like alexandrite) be careful who it's from, many sellers either try to deceive or are unaware that what they have is in fact not natural, check their feedback.Hope this helps!

Question : I saw an orange coloured gem set in a ring. It was called a Padpascar. I was wondering what sort of gem it is?
I saw an orange coloured gem set in a ring. It was called a Padpascar. I was wondering what sort of gem it is?
Answer:
Padparascha or PadparadschaPadparascha is an attractive and rare variety of sapphire or corundum. On this page, we will often use the word corundum to include sapphire and ruby, because of their shared characteristics.The usual colour associated with sapphire is blue, but sapphire can be almost any colour. The orange variety is known as padparascha, which is Sinhalese for lotus flower, after its colour. The term is not frequently used nowadays, which is a great shame as it is such a delicious sounding word.CorundumCorundum is the mineralogical name for aluminium oxide.ColoursCorundum can be colourless, red, pink, blue, black, brown, orange, yellow, green, indigo, violet, or mauve. Red corundum and most pink corundum is called ruby, blue corundum is called sapphire, and other colours are also called sapphire, usually with the colour specified as a prefix to the word sapphire, for example, yellow sapphire.ColourationPure corundum is colourless, often called white, and although quite rare, tends not to be valuable because it does not have much brilliance. Colours, as in many gemstones, are caused by small amounts of impurity, usually metallic oxides. This is a case where impurity is desirable.Chromic oxide causes brilliant red colouring in corundum, thereby producing rubies.Ferric oxide causes yellow colouration, titanium oxide produces vivid blue.In fact the colouration of sapphire is not quite so simple as this. The titanium and iron are usually present in the form of ilmenite, a mineral which is a titanium iron oxide, TiFeO3. Ilmenite is not isomorphous with aluminium oxide. Isomorphous means being able to replace the host mineral within its crystal structure. Instead ilmenite is present as a microscopic inclusion, in the form of colloidal particles.This colloidal nature may be responsible for other optical effects such as "silk", asterism, and colour banding.HardnessCorundum is very hard, having a hardness of 9 on Moh's scale, compared with 10 for diamond, and 8 for topaz. Hardness is generally a desirable feature is gemstones.Other uses for corundum, because of its hardness, are as watch bearings, watch glasses, and as an abrasive.SourcesOriginally, the best sapphires and rubies came from Burma, where they are believed to have been mined possibly from prehistoric times. Certainly they appear to have been worked during the times of Marco Polo.Kashmir is another source of very fine sapphires, famous for its cornflower blue stones.Thailand, previously called Siam, is an important source of attractive sapphire.The term Ceylon sapphire is frequently used to denote pale to medium sapphires. Unless the stone is known to originate from Sri Lanka, as it is now called, such sapphire should accurately be called "Ceylon-type" sapphire.Currently most dark sapphires come from Australia, and the term "Australian sapphire" is often used to denote dark coloured sapphires, in a similar way to the term "Ceylon sapphire" for lighter stones.Sapphires are also found in Montana and Colorado in the USA, India, with small quantities being found in numerous other countries.PricesThe price range of sapphires is very large, ranging from under £1 per carat to many thousands of pounds per carat, depending primarily on colour, but also on brilliance, which is affected by clarity and cutting.The Best and Most Valuable ColourWe are frequently informed, by partially educated customers that the darker the sapphire the better. We are equally frequently and erroneously told the opposite. If you think, even briefly, about this it becomes obvious why. A very dark sapphire would appear black, and would not be very attractive or desirable. The darkness often being caused by inclusions. An extremely pale sapphire would be colourless, and although rarer than black sapphire, is not particularly attractive or valuable.As usual, the truth lies between the two extremes. The most desirable sapphires are generally those with an intense blue colour, and plenty of sparkle and life. These latter two factors are usually helped by high optical clarity and skilful cutting.Ultimately which is "best" is a subjective matter, and personal preference is important. Our usual advice to potential customers is to buy whichever colour of sapphire they personally find the most attractive. We also think it's slightly sad that we need to give this advice. Buy what you like, using your own judgment, rather than allowing yourself to be a slave to fashion and buying what you think will impress other people.CleaningSapphire jewellery can be cleaned using hot soapy water, or detergent, rinse thoroughly afterwards as detergents can cause dermatitis and allergic reactions. Enzyme cleaners should be avoided for the same reasons. Brushing with an old tooth brush to remove dirt and grease will also help. Cleaning agents containing chlorine may have a detrimental effect on low carat gold alloys, so are best avoided.
