Gem and Jewellery for Neutral Skin Ton

Identification of neutral skin tone is a very recent phenomenon. Earlier it was understood that there were two broad divisions of skin tone into warm and cool categories. As research and analysis unearthed the new segment of neutral skin tone, it has also led to the search for appropriate gem & jewellery that could enhance glamour of those who have such neutral skin tone. This blog post is just about that.

By now you are well aware that skin colour is the external overtone and skin tone is the internal tone lying underneath. For this reason skin tone is alternatively referred to as “under tone”. You can do a small test to check whether you have got neutral skin tone. Look at the vein in your wrist, if it is neither exactly green nor blue then you have neutral skin tone. Consequently, neutral skin tone is further tweaked into leaning either towards warm segment or cool segment. Hence, it is surmised that, neutral skin tone is best accentuated with lighter tint of both warm and cool colours. Rose colour is the key test for you to confirm whether you have neutral skin tone or not. Just hold a piece of rose gold jewellery close to the wrist. If the wrist glows unexceptionally bright then you definitely have neutral skin tone.

Metals for jewellery: Apart from rose gold, presumably any alloy of gold with silver is a better choice for you. Gold finished, gold plated, rolled gold and gold filled silver jewellery is next in importance. Jewellery made from space age metals such as Niobium, Tantalum and Zirconium are recommended for that bright, polished and shiny look for you.

Gems: Colourless gemstone and diamonds are friends for you forever. Cosmic gems of blue-green combination such as Turquoise give fascinating glow to your neutral skin tone often enhancing your beauty and appearance. Opal, Moonstone, Topaz and Zircon are next in line. Ametrine, Alexandrite, Azurite and Agate are also flagged for your attention in the multi-coloured segment of gems & crystals. An interesting gemstone that cannot be ignored is brilliantly hued Spectoralite.

When you combine the above gems & metals you are ready to generate groundswell of cosmics, a kind of energy keeping you rejuvenated day and night. Undoubtedly for a neutral skin tone person this cosmics have two roles: one is to act as supply source of energy, the other, as you rightly guessed is to bring out the best in you in terms of smoother skin and remarkable and enticing aura. Of course, it begs the question as to how to choose the right gems & metals combination for you.

Gem and Jewellery for Cool Skin Tone

Skin tones are broadly divided into three types: warm tone, cold tone and neutral tone. Matching the right gem & jewellery with your each skin tone is an art itself. Let me give you a broad brush stroke about cool skin tone and how to match it by selecting right gems & metals.

You know skin colour is the external overtone and skin tone refers to the under laying colour. Generally skin tone is stated as “under tone”. You can do a small test to check whether you have cool skin tone. Look at the vein in your wrist, if it is blue then you have cool skin tone. The theory behind is simple. Cold spectrum begins from green colour and extends to blue and beyond. In order to confirm finding you just hold a silver jewellery piece close to the wrist. If the wrist glows in brightness then the matter is sealed: you have cool skin tone.

Metals for jewellery: Silver works best for cool skin tone followed by White gold, Stainless steel and most of the white or silvery metals such as Titanium, Niobium, Tantalum and Zirconium. Pride of place, however, goes to the platinum group of metals such as Platinum and Palladium.

Gems: White and bright gems are most suited for cool skin tone. Diamonds top the rating while gemstones including Pearls, White sapphire, Topaz, Zircon, Beryl (Goshenite) and Quartz are key cosmic gems that accentuate cool skin tone excellently well. Blue Sapphire, Topaz, Agate, Opal and Lapis Lazuli and purple colour Amethyst and Tanzanite are some of the other gems & crystals known to enhance cool skin tone. At the middle point it is the pink colour that acts as most promising one. By the way, the bench mark colour for cool skin tone is also pink. Ostensibly, Pink sapphire is the one that leads the selection from this segment that includes other fancy stones such as Garnet and Tourmaline.

As you are aware gems & metals when combined together generate whale of a lot of cosmics. For a cool skin tone person this cosmics form a key energy supply source. Proper selection of gem & jewellery is vital in receiving the energy cosmics from gems & metals to be transferred into your skin.

Gem and Jewellery for Warm Skin Tone

Matching the right gem & jewellery with your skin tone is indeed vital. Skin tones are broadly divided into three types: Warm tone, cold tone and neutral tone. In this blog post let me give you few ideas about warm skin tone.

First thing you should note is that skin tone is under laying colour of your skin often referred to as “under tone”. You can do a small test to check whether you have warm tone. Look at the vein in your wrist, if it is green then you have warm skin tone. The theory behind is simple. Warm spectrum consists of red, orange and yellow colours and green terminates the warm spectrum. To confirm the finding you just hold a gold jewellery piece close to the wrist. If the wrist glows in brightness there it is you have warm skin tone.

Metals for jewellery: Yellow gold is primary metal for you; jewellery from red gold, copper, pewter or brass is also apt.

Gems: Red, orange and yellow colour gemstones enhance your skin glow, beauty and appearance. Ruby, garnet, coral, chalcedony, amber and hessonite are good stones for you. Yellow gemstones such as citrine, yellow sapphire are well adapted to warm undertone. Moreover, cosmic gems that add more colour and credence to your skin tone could be selected from amongst golden topaz, golden pearl, champagne coloured stone and fire opals.

Gems & metals generate streams of sensation and particular tingling. Proper selection of gem & jewellery is vital in receiving the energy cosmics of these to be transferred into your warm skin tone.

Jewellery Matching: Skin Colour or Skin Tone

Before buying gem & jewellery, you have to decide whether you are going to match your exterior skin colour or interior skin tone. Majority of ladies look at their skin colour as a criterion to buy expensive items that eventually fail to bring out the best in them in terms of beauty and appearance. A good piece of advice is to look into both as dovetailed in this blog post.

Skin Colour: It is also known as overtone, surface tone, actual colour or exterior colour and denotes to the overall appearance of skin. The skin colour is determined by several substances most important amongst these is Melanin. Varying from dark to white human pigmentation gives a range of colours including dark, light, medium, tan, black, brown, white and yellow skin colours. There are several factors influencing the evolution of colour of skin. Geography, climate, environment and nature are chief amongst these factors. Skin colour undergoes changes over a period of life in a single generation, if the factors mentioned above are altered.

Skin Tone: It is also known as undertone, under-laying colour, or interior colour and denotes to the glow of skin. This skin tone personalizes the skin colour and projects an individual look. There are three types of undertone: warm undertone flashing yellow or golden colour and cool undertone signalling pink and blue colours. Neutral undertone has mixture of warm and cool colours. Undertone in generally subject to genetics and ethnicity and rarely changes. Perhaps, it might undergo slight change after few generations.

Selecting jewellery: While skin colour is useful in giving you general directions in buying gem & jewellery it is the skin tone that can accentuate your beauty and elegance in a big way. For example, if you have warm undertone, then buy gems & metals that are of warm colours. Gold is the primary warm metal. When the skin tone is matched properly it brings out best of not only the skin tone but the skin colour as well. You generate bright and polished look. More than that your cosmics start working positively and you appear so alluring to become overnight a darling.

Understanding Colour Dynamics of Gemstones

Cosmic gems come in a variety of colours. In order to understand the dynamics of colour in gemstones you must distinguish several terms used in the gem & jewellery market place. Here is a primer on the different terms used in describing colour of cosmic gems.

1. Colour: Refers generally to the wavelength comparison of the sunlight. There are three primary colours: red, yellow and blue. Secondary colours are orange, green and purple. Tertiary colours are: yellow-orange, red-orange, red-purple, blue-purple, blue-green, yellow-green.

2. Hue: A quality of colour that modifies the basic colour visible to the naked eye by another. Pea-cock hue is made of dominant green colour with associated blue colour

3. Tone: A quality of colour with reference to the degree of absorption of light. It can range from light to dark. The gradations of tone are: very dark, dark, medium, light and very light

4. Shade: A gradation or variety of colour in reference to the degree of darkness

5. Tint: A gradation or variety of colour in reference to the degree of lightness

6. Intensity: The degree of purity of colour. Gem & jewellery industry uses alternate terms such as strength, saturation, purity and Chroma in place of intensity. The gradations of intensity are: strong, medium, fair and weak. A gemstone that has strong intensity reflects a pure colour without any brown/grey hues.

Red, Rose and Pink Gold Jewellery

In gem & jewellery market, red rose and pink gold articles are paraded as unique products in terms of their tone of colour ranging from lightness to darkness. But critics dismiss this as a marketing ploy and declare all these jewellery articles mean one and the same thing. Yet on investigation we find that there are in fact differences between red, rose and pink gold jewellery as shown in this blog post.

Red Gold Jewellery: You are aware red is one of the three primary colours, others being yellow and blue. To fabricate red gold piece of 18 K you have to use gold 75% and copper 25% with zinc as trace element. Reflecting hard and deep overtone, red gold has fabulous cosmics in projecting high degree of masculine quality. Red gold grants you physical strength, mental power, dedication, focus and heightened resonance.

Rose Gold Jewellery: Rose colour perks half way between red and magenta as per the colour wheel. Rose gold 18 K jewellery is made by using an alloy of 75% gold 22.25% copper and 2.75% silver with trace element. Rose gold snugs well between white and yellow gold articles. For example, rings, bangles and bracelets made in tricolour are considered more fashionable in elitist circles. In contrast to red gold, rose gold minimizes the warmth of red colour and provides a softer overtone that in turn gives the wearer a sense of elation, calmness, togetherness not to forget a tinge of fad or to use the mild word a kind of overwhelming fashion.

Pink Gold Jewellery: Combining two vital qualities of both red and rose gold, pink gold article projects a harder look yet radiating softer shine. What is more, it gives an antique look as the jewellery starts aging, a process whose pace is quickened due to its copper content. Mostly, due to copper’s inherent tarnishing effect pink gold gives a fabulous antique appeal making the jewellery piece more pricier. An 18 K pink gold article is fabricated using gold 75%, Copper 20 % and Silver 5%. The chief plus point of pink gold is that it can easily bridge two colour combination such as yellow and white or yellow and red. Most importantly, pink gold can be worn as unisex jewellery. Equally fashionable as in the case of rose gold, pink gold goes one step forward by granting you high positive cosmics. It raises your level of consciousness and for an active and busy person it is a must wear item.

Gems & metals are storehouses of vibration, more so in the case of red, rose and pink gold jewellery. Selecting the right tone of colour requires understanding your needs and personality.

Benefits of Titanium jewellery

Significant benefits arise when you don one or more Titanium jewellery pieces. Health, cosmics, user-friendliness are key advantages. On the down side you have few drawbacks. But, overall titanium jewellery proves to be more valuable as this blog post explains.

Advantages

Health is the key plus of Titanium. As hypoallergenic metal Titanium is a store of magnetic energy fields, stimulating flow of oxygen into blood stream thereby flushing out toxicity and up building the body’s energy in healing wounds and fractures. Moreover, stimulation of nerves connected to the wound is carried out by corralling iron into blood cells. As a result oxygenated blood flow assists in quick healing of wounds and injuries that recur repeatedly; those who are engaged in sports and physical work stand to receive much of this bonanza.

Cosmics is the next plus point where Titanium acts in channelling vital energy and stamina into your body and mind. Mere touch of Titanium gives you feeling of strength and elation. Wearing Titanium jewellery in different parts of body enhances balancing yourself, your central nervous system and your zing.

Next in line is the user-friendliness of Titanium jewellery. Strong and resistant to scratch, tarnish and stress, this metal is low at maintenance cost. You can just clean with soapy water and dry it with a soft cloth. As a robust metal, Titanium can last for generations. Technically, Titanium can be blackened with a proprietary process developed by Spectore Corporation under the patent name “ Black-Ti” which is trademarked as such. Anodizing in fabulous colours is yet another feature available for gem & jewellery industry. Exotic hues of blue, yellow, violet , green , pink and others are noticed in the market place. Types of wear includes rings & bands, earrings, bangles & bracelets, chains & pendants and necklaces.

Downside

Titanium jewellery is quite expensive due to specialized process applied in fabricating. Premium prices are charged for anodized pieces. Black Titanium rings are certainly out of reach for many of you because of high price quotes. As Titanium cannot be soldered or annealed, exquisite designs are not possible while making pendants and necklaces. Even in the case of rings & bands it must be mentioned that once made these cannot be re-sized or re-soldered. A heavy negative is that in emergency these rings cannot be cut-off.

Against the backdrop of these drawbacks one should not lose heart in wearing Titanium jewellery. The pluses in health, cosmics and not to forget technical feasibility overweigh all these snags. Surely, gems & metals have vibrations, resonation, sensation and electromagnetic pulse. Predictably, when the turn comes to Titanium jewellery the sense of wellbeing is simply doubled.

Stay tuned!

Appeal of Rose Gold Jewellery

Soft and delicate hue of rose gold jewellery is a timeless article in the jewellery box of a fashionable lady. Although the name is stuck as rose gold, it is in fact more copper mixed with gold than in normal circumstances. Mixture of copper quantum is much higher in the lower Karat ranges. Notwithstanding higher copper composition rose gold pieces command premium prices.

Strangely, rose gold jewellery was introduced in Russia in the turn of Nineteenth Century where it became popular as wedding ring and allied jewellery. Even today Russian girls prefer wedding rings made of tri-colour strips welded together in the form of white, rose and yellow gold. The credit for introducing rose gold in USA goes to Cartier Jewellers who in 1920s came up with “Trinity band” the ubiquitous tri colour ring where rose gold bridges white and yellow gold bands. Since then, the gold-copper mix has become a successful story, with occasional hiccups when it goes out of fashion and then re-entering with more gusto in jewellery market. Recent debut of Tri-gold bangles in Asian market is an apt example. Made of yellow, white and rose gold bangles, tri-gold bangles can be worn individually or clipped together.

A key factor for the popularity of rose gold amongst ladies and jewellers is the feminine touch it beams out. In addition to femininity most girls and ladies are attracted to this distinctive colour because it fits warm, neutral and cool skin tones. In fact rose colour is the only pigment that accentuates your skin undertone in style and felicity. Jewellers, on the other hand like the feminine quality and more than that, the low-price of copper-gold alloy that goes in making rose gold pieces.

For example, in turning out 9K rose gold jewellery the gold part is 37.5% while copper is about 53.5% remaining parts consisting of silver and trace of Zinc. The gold percentage rises in the higher Karat jewellery. In 14 K rose gold, the gold content is about 58.5% copper 35.5 % and the remaining as silver and trace of alloy.

Setting diamonds and coloured stones enhances the sleek appearance of rose gold jewellery. Rose-cut diamond in rose gold ring is legendary. Other gemstones that go as solitaire or multiple gems include a whole range of rose coloured stones such as Morganite, Rose Pearl, Pink Sapphire, Rhodonite (Pink Garnet) Robeline (Pink Tourmaline) Spinel, Kunzite and Diamond. Of late, Rose Quart and Ruby are also embellished in rose gold pieces. Rings are the most popular type of jewellery, followed by bangle, bracelet, necklace, pendant and pair of earrings. Rose coloured gem & jewellery, enables you to stand out as fashion icon.

Gems & metals are noted for their vibrancy. Undoubtedly Rose gold jewellery pieces generate positive cosmics to those who wear it daily. Rose colour being the mid-point between red and magenta in colour wheel merits special mention. This colour generates vibrant resonance to keep you in happy and peaceful mood. Besides, rose colour tends to tone down the warmth of yellow gold and up builds soft and serene nature in you.

Reducing Copper in Sterling Silver Jewellery

Pure silver is too soft a metal to make jewellery articles out of it therefore it is often alloyed with copper as conventional hardening agent. Moreover, silver cannot carry much weight and the load managing is also left to copper. Sterling Silver, which has become much popular as a jewellery metal consists of the binary alloy of silver and copper. Quite a number of negatives have surfaced on its wake. Here is a review of the issues surrounding Sterling Silver.

Beauty of Sterling Silver jewellery lies not only on the main metal, but the kind of alloy that are mixed to silver. As you are aware an article of 92.5% silver is composed with an alloy of 7.5% of other metals chiefly copper and trace element of Zinc. By adding copper the original beauty, elegance, brightness, reflective capacity of pure silver are protected. Furthermore silver–copper alloy continues to sustain solderability, malleability, ductility of silver. Cosmics of silver as conductor of heat and electricity is not impaired by alloying it with copper.

Disadvantages come along bringing major headaches to jewellers. Casting porosity arises when the copper alloy is heated resulting in empty spaces. Firescale is another ill when silver-copper ally oxidizes to form black or red coloured blemishes. Copper is notorious for tarnishing effects as it reacts to many elements. In the contrary silver does not tarnish in air or water, but reacts slightly to human sweat. Combining these metals, of course leads to a degree of tarnish and discoloration. To offset these minuses the industry has come out with few alternatives. One is to introduce non-tarnish Sterling Silver using metals such as Metalloid germanium, Zinc, Platinum, Tin and additives such as Indium, Silicon and Boron. Magnesium and Cadmium are also used judiciously as trace elements.

One such alloy of improved Sterling Silver is the US Patent 4973446 A, assigned to United Precious Metal Refining Company. The composition of the alloy and the functionality of metals used are described briefly. The breakdown is given in percentages for easy reading

Silver: Main metal at 92.5

Copper: 0.5 for hardening and load carrying of the alloy

Zinc: 4.25 to reduce melting point of alloy, to add whiteness, to act as copper substitute, and to de-oxidise & improve fluidity of alloy

Indium: 0.02 to act as grain refiner and to improve wettability of alloy

Tin: 0.48 to provide tarnish resistance as well as hardening

Boron - copper alloy: 1.25 where composition of Boron is 2 % and Copper is @ 98%. Boron is added in order to reduce surface tension of alloy and to allow blending homogenously

Silicon - copper alloy: 1.00 where composition of Silicon is 10% and Copper is @ 90%. Silicon is added for multi-functionality in de-oxidizing, reducing porosity and slight hardening.

Using this alloy, Sterling silver gem & jewellery pieces can be fabricated where the overall content of copper is reduced from a whopping 7.5 % to manageable 2.625% just about one third of the original proportion. If it baffles you how this percentage of 2.625% has been arrived at just do a little bit of arithmetic.

Copper in pure form 0.5 %

Add part of copper from the Boron-copper alloy which is worked out as 1.225%

Add part of copper from Silicon-copper alloy which is worked out as 0.90%

When you add all these three items you get 2.625%

Why Black Gold Jewellery?

Tantalising black gold jewellery displayed by fashion houses such as Jarretiere and Boucheron is indeed a pleasure to view. Never mind the fashions; still the black gold jewellery pieces give you more than their value in terms of aesthetics and cosmics. Let me give you a primer on how black gold is made as jewellery, minuses and pluses of adorning them.

How it is blackened?

Black gold is made in two distinct ways. One method uses inter-metallic compound of gold and cobalt along with certain other elements in trace quantity. Gold cobalt master alloy available in the market can be suitably enriched by the judicious use of Chromium, Copper, Iron, Titanium, Silver and one of the Platinum Group of Metals such as platinum for this purpose.

Second and most popular method is to use “Patination” which means applying a surface coating of black colour on the gold. There are several ways in which such surface coating is done.

1. Electro-deposition or Electroplating using black coloured Rhodium or Ruthenium. In this process gold is electrically attracted to the part consisting of Rhodium or Ruthenium and forms an electrochemical bond with the base metal with excellent adhesion. In the case of Rhodium black tint is brighter whereas Ruthenium bestows darker shade

2. An advanced technique of external coating is to opt for Amorphous Carbon with a patented process known as “Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapour Deposition”

3. Controlled Oxidation is another process making Carat Gold alloy containing gold Chromium and/or Cobalt to turn into black tone

4. Heat treatment uses Cobalt oxide to form a Cobalt layer on gold which is heat treated at 700 - 950 degree Celsius.

Drawbacks

Unlike yellow gold jewellery, black gold is not sturdy or strong in hardness. This is because Cobalt though much harder than gold is still considered a brittle metal and in terms of heaviness is just less than half of gold. Since gold is also somewhat brittle combining both these elements do not add up to hard and durable alloy. More blacker the gold less wear resistant it would be. In addition to wear and tear, black coating could abrade or fade over time. Fabricating black gold jewellery is faced with restrictions in the form of patented technology. Even if a jeweller succeeds in making one there is no guarantee it can be repaired or brought to its former glory if and when the colour is faded, scraped or peeled off.

Benefits

Pluses of black gold jewellery compensates amply for the risks noted above. Black gold primarily functions as a tool of contrast in the hands of a craftsman. He can use it to house sparkling diamond or other light coloured stones ranging between white and rose hues. Moreover, black gold gives a standalone look when mixed with white metals such as Platinum, Palladium, Tantalum and others. Wearing black gold gem & jewellery makes you a grounding person, able to put your foot down in making choices and decisions. Besides you are encouraged to stand firm and resolute in activities.

As you adorn black gold gem & jewellery, you feel energy beginning to flow from the feet and travel upwards in your body. That means bonus inner strength, focus, seriousness in outlook and high degree of concentration in what you do. Furthermore, you can easily counter the effects of bad vibes in the ambience. Granting you a sense of security and satisfaction black gold prods you to think and act as a noble person. Other goodies include authority, power and prestige, composure, rest and a feeling of zing within you, not to forget about that sexy style for which you are now a brand ambassador.

Silver Ring and Fingers

Silver as metal is known for its therapeutic value from ancient times. Its features as anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-virus are well documented in medicine and metallurgy. A key method in which we can benefit from this wondrous metal is to use it as a ring. This is because fingers have nerve endings that work in double efficiency than any other limbs of human body. Wearing a silver ring in different fingers in right or left hand gives salubrious effect.

Right Hand: Silver ring in right hand functions as a medium of stocktaking of internal energy and evaluating whether there is any excess harming the proper function of human body. Excess or unwanted energy stream is expelled from the body via a scheme of emission outward. This helps in two ways; one is that internal energy stream is balanced; secondly by flashing energy out it influences people coming into contact with the wearer to relate to him well. Scan the benefits of wearing silver ring in fingers in the right hand:

Index Finger: Managing anger; reducing tissue related degradation; keeps you calm and collected

Middle Finger: Halts nervous break-down; removes blocks in neuro - transmitters

Ring Finger: Purifies blood system, expels toxins from kidney and urinary tracts

Little finger: Heals anxiety syndrome; stabilizes heart beat; builds up stamina

Left Hand: In the left hand silver rings function as medium of receiving and assimilating cosmics from the environs. Once this process is over the ring starts inward emission in the form of electrical, magnetic and telepathic energy that cannot be perceived by human eye or for that matter be recorded or verified by any scientific equipment. These pulses go through skin inward to the human body in the process known as “transdermal therapeutic System”. See the benefits of wearing silver ring in fingers in the left hand:

Index Finger: Enhances your immune system; keeps you freshened; puts you in high cheer

Middle Finger: Resolves gastro -intestinal problems and enteropathy; enhances nutrients absorption

Ring Finger: Improves blood circulation, up builds efficiency of endocrine system, glands and hormones; smoothens lactation in feeding mothers

Little finger: Supports all vital functions including metabolism and improves a slew of enzymes

A clear understanding of your needs and problems must precede before you wear gem & jewellery. Thereafter you have to really believe that in addition to medication gems & metals give you trans-dermal nutrients that go a big way in responding to treatment and in resolving your health issues.

Cosmic Confluence of Gems and Metals

No doubt, gems have their individual features and functionality; so do the metals. When these are joined together as articles of gem & jewellery you stand to derive optimum benefit. How? It is quite simple, because any two items fused together create synergistic effect. In the case of gems & metals we call this phenomenon as cosmic confluence. Here are few snippets:

Gems: Most gemstones are worn in proximity to human body. Of course there are tumble stones that you squeeze for moments and keep them away from you. In most cases people tend to wear gems on person. Wearing a gemstone, be it diamond, coloured stone, pearl and any other crystals give you discernible vibes. Some of these vibes you can feel quickly whereas others take little longer time to be felt. These effects in turn are classified into two areas: direct and indirect. When you receive specific result in full on repeated basis we call it as direct emission; while general effect experienced by you at times, partially, are dubbed as indirect one. Gems grant you light frequency that can be translated into physical, mental, emotional and spiritual terms.

Metals: On the other hand metals are worn touching your body straightaway. Metals therefore transmit whale of energy into your body directly. As a corollary we consider metals as purely direct influencers much potent than gems. At any given moment un-quantified electromagnetic beams move within the metal, circulating cosmic energy, a major part of it is then diverted into the skin in un-specified frequency so that the human body gets the needed nourishment. It does this activity using three inter-connected processes: generation of energy, assimilation of energy and emission of energy. Moreover, metals can be configured to receive energy from external environment, assimilate within and thereafter emit cosmics. It must be clearly noted that such emission can go inward as well as outward.

Confluence: Cosmic confluence of gems and metals takes place when two streams of cosmic energy one originating from gems and other derived from metals combine together to make a brand new energy flow that bonds together features and functionality of both streams. Let us examine a worked example of gem & jewellery:

Zircon is a gemstone known for traces of uranium in it. Zircon has high degree of refraction and strong dispersion giving it a fantastic brilliance not second to diamonds. Considered by advisers in Cosmics as an all-round stone in beauty, protection and prestige, Zircon makes you delighted inside and an admirable person outside.

Zirconium is a soft metal, greyish white in colour, malleable and ductile for jewellery manufacture. It resists corrosion caused by alkali, salt and acids allowing the wearer to maintain his posture under stress, trouble and tribulation. Treated gently as a feminine metal Zirconium is on Earth as well on the surface of Moon.

When you wear a Zirconium ring studded with Zircon gem as a solitaire, you will, overnight become a celebrity in your family and business circles. Thanks to the cosmic confluence of gems & metals.

Green Gold Jewellery for Liberated Women

Something that women’s lib has over looked to articulate is the use of green gold jewellery by its proponents. Even though colour green is known for its coolness and neutrality, when stained in gold jewellery it takes on entirely converse role of being tough and decisive making, ebbing the wearer to throw her weight around.

Green gold jewellery is generally rendered in four distinct hues. Soft green, Light green, Green and Deep green. The gem & jewellery norm is to make green gold articles as 18 K which means that the gold content remains at 750 over 1000 and the balance filled with alloy metal. Let me describe each of the four tinges in green gold jewellery, its alloy and how its cosmics can transform a passive woman to an active person.

Soft green: To get a shimmering soft green gem & jewellery workbench uses 75% gold, less than 25% silver and a tracing of Cadmium along with few other elements. Soft green gold jewellery gives a wearer warmth, pleasantness and sexual appeal. It is recommended for women who work in professions; career woman in junior and middle rungs.

Light green: This fascinating hue is the result of 75% gold alloyed with 23% copper and 2% Cadmium. Light green jewellery affords its user heat as well as moistness; sense of being in control over events happenings around her. Moreover it bestows high interest in sex but lower fertility levels so that chance pregnancy is fairly avoided. Recommended: for women in uniforms, CEOs and those in authority.

Green: This colouring is very hard to get without the use of Cadmium. Gem & jewellery industry generally uses a standard of 75% gold, 20% silver and 5 % copper. However, this tint is not exactly green but greenish yellow. One way of making green alloy is to reduce the silver and copper proportionately and bring in Cadmium to the tune of 2 to 3% so that the resultant product is pigment green. As the colouring gives outward tough look but inward femininity it is mainly recommended for that battered housewife who is at the receiving end but wishes to remain a faithful spouse.

Deep green: Known also as dark green, results from a combination of 75% gold along with 15% silver, 6% copper and 4% Cadmium and associated alloy. Dark green god jewellery is in a class of its own. It is all about male Yang energy. Desire to control underpins this colour code. High pushers who need latent power source to display often settle on dark green. Used as commando fatigue and casual military attire dark green gets yet another name as jungle green. Used mainly by women in high ranks of service it has an obvious drawback: wearers often channelize their sex appeal not towards opposite but pin up on same sex enjoyment such as lesbianism or end up having wet dreams.

Moderation of Cadmium and its inherent toxic quality dictates that women wearing green gold jewellery should seek the right alloy combination to mitigate Cadmium induced toxicity. Additionally they should focus on the selection of right type of wear such as pendant, necklace etc., which provides effective cosmics, explained under each colour stream above. Finally, they must evaluate whether the use of gemstones could enhance positive cosmics for them. This is because, gems & metals are known vibrators and resonators.

Cadmium in Jewellery: Good and Bad

In manufacture of green gold jewellery Cadmium is used more than the permitted levels. Media hype against the use of Cadmium in general and law cases against jewellery retailors selling Cadmium tainted articles, have almost driven this light weight metal into oblivion. The permitted level of 0.03% is at best unachievable and at worst ridiculous. Cadmium has, like every metal good and bad side. Here is a review:

The metal Cadmium is classed with Zinc and Mercury in the Periodic Table. It has excellent features for using as an alloy metal in fabricating designer wear. Hardness of 2.0 in Mohs’ scale , melting point of 321 degree Celsius , density of 8.65 g/cm3 all go in tandem to make this soft bluish white metal very useful in jewellers’ repertoire.

It has multiple uses in jewellery manufacture. A key plus is seamless joining Cadmium offers to the workbench when minute pieces have to be banded together. Solders made from gold and Cadmium alloy comes very handy. Where any plating is to be carried out Cadmium is used as it promotes adhesiveness. Elsewhere, in the fashion jewellery industry, Cadmium is often alloyed with tin to give a fine metal flow that can be used to create excellent filigree work. Cadmium in general helps in fluidity and work hardening.

Yet, the big plus is not in normal jewellery, but in fabricating scintillating green gold jewellery. Cadmium is a definite must in every shades of green gold. Soft green gold items require trace element of Cadmium which can range below quarter per cent. Light green gold needs at-least 2 % while dark or deep green requires nothing less than 4 % of Cadmium in the alloy mixture.

On the flip side Cadmium toxicity is said to cause troubles in kidney, heart, lungs and tabooed as carcinogenic. Anaemia, Arthritis, Diabetes, Hypertension are some of the other notable ills. The main plank in which Cadmium toxicity works is making intrusion into the good job done by zinc and copper in human body. Yet most of its ill effects can be countered by using other minerals and metals. Chemical analyst ARL lists nutrients that counteract toxic side of rogue Cadmium. Amongst these, Zinc, Copper, Iron, Selenium and Manganese are highlighted as effective counter-balancing metals.

Ironically, Cadmium has unexpected allies in the form of its distractors. Dr Paul Eck, for example described Cadmium as “Pseudo – Masculine mineral” mainly with the intention of disparaging. Eventually, this resulted in building up of craze amongst men and women in getting Macho quality by using more Cadmium in one form or another. Irony has no bounds when it comes to Cadmium. Let us foray into cosmics of Cadmium. It is a soft metal, yet it is reported to give you toughness. Most chemical analysts accept that it has no necessary function in human body. Still everyone berates Cadmium toxicity as the main reason for most if not all diseases afflicting men. Here is the crowning moment. No blood test can diagnose whether a person has excess or deficit Cadmium in his body. Because, Cadmium vanishes into smithereens figuratively after it enters into human body.

My conclusion is, let’s work with Cadmium with sufficient safeguards. Gem & jewellery industry has to use gems & metals to make good piece of jewellery. And gems & metals are great resonators and vibrators motivating, influencing and directing you to succeed in life and business. What is needed, therefore, is to find ways and means of using metals including Cadmium. A good suggestion is to employ a proper alloy of metals that can mitigate ill effects of Cadmium toxicity. By the way, who does not want to be Macho these days?

Managing Cancer using Platinum Jewellery

Silvery metal Platinum is the most expensive one when it comes to making gem & jewellery out of it. Splendour of platinum jewellery is only one side of the story. Another property of this noble metal was cultured into anti-cancer drugs. Besides, using Platinum with appropriate alloy in jewellery must be encouraged to fight cancer. Details follow in this blog post:

Over the last few decades countries globally have expended considerable resources to lessen the traumatic effects of life threatening diseases chiefly amongst this rank cancer causing about 13 % of mortality. Each year around 12 million people are diagnosed with cancer in one form or other. At the same time, almost 8 million people die annually afflicted by cancer, a frightening ratio of 66%. A number of anti-cancer drugs were developed during the last few decades. One of these drugs, surprisingly, is extracted from the noble metal Platinum.

According to Johnson Matthey, Platinum was found to have a property of inhibiting the division of living cells such as cancer and the first Platinum based anti-cancer drug Cisplatin was formulated in 1977. Further research undertaken by laboratories led to the development of an improved drug Carboplatin in 1986. At present clinical tests are being carried out for a much improved drug by the name of Satratplatin which is expected to improve the survival rate amongst cancer patients. Moreover, it is the first “Platinum anti-cancer drug that can be administered orally instead of intravenously, allowing patients to be treated at home”.

But as the adage goes prevention is better than cure. Wearing jewellery made out of Platinum with proper alloy could result in managing cancer in a big way. The evidence is truly convincing. Japan is the biggest market for Platinum gem & jewellery in the world. If we examine statistics regarding death per 100,000 thousand people due to cancer, Japan records 145 people whereas most countries report over 150 per 100,000 people sometimes going as high as 433 as in the case of Netherlands. Incidentally the Dutch are not avid fans of Platinum jewellery.

To qualify as Platinum jewellery the content of Platinum must be more than 50%. Ordinarily Platinum ranges between 60 to 95 % and the rest is the alloy metals. However in treating Cancer the proportion of Platinum required and the other alloy metals depend on a particular individual. As a result mass produced Platinum jewellery articles can only contribute marginally in improving prospects of patients suffering from cancer or on the verge of developing one. This is because these pieces are turned out on a common alloy platform.

What is necessary is to analyse the personal data and extent of the spread of cancer or vulnerability and fashion platinum jewellery with right proportion of platinum and other alloys. To do that, it is necessary to understand the personal cosmics of a patient. Cosmics are aspects that one is born with residing within him influencing and impacting his life throughout. If you understand your cosmics then it is easy to settle on the right proportion of Platinum and needed alloy. Gems & metals play a supplementary role in every area of human life. In managing cancer it can play a much more important role.

Platinum Group of Metals in Jewellery

Today Platinum Group of metals leads the metal table in the trading floor. Out of the six metals in the group five are used in jewellery manufacture. The Platinum Group of Metals (PGM) consists of Ruthenium, Rhodium, Palladium, Osmium, Iridium and Platinum. Osmium is rarely used in jewellery because of concerns expressed regarding its allergic quality. Here is a pre-view of the rest of the metals and the extent of their use in jewellery.

Ruthenium: Symbol is Ru and Atomic Number is 44. Its hardness is assessed as 6.5 in the Mohs’ scale. Melting point is 2,250 Celsius. Density @ 293 K is calculated as 12.2 g/cm3. In the market place, it ranks 5^th on the basis of price chart. Crystal structure is hexagonal and colour is silvery. Ruthenium is mainly used as alloy and that also much with Platinum

Rhodium: Symbol is Rh and Atomic Number is 45. Its hardness is assessed as 6.0 in the Mohs’ scale. Melting point is 1,966 Celsius. Density @ 293 K is calculated as 12.41 g/cm3. In the market place, it ranks 2^nd on the basis of price chart. Crystal structure is cubic and colour is silvery. Rhodium is mainly used for plating of white gold jewellery. Its other use is for alloying with other PGMs. As standalone jewellery it is not too significant. Nevertheless quite a few articles in the form of wedding bands and rings as well as bracelets are peddled in the gem & jewellery market.

Palladium: Symbol is Pd and Atomic Number is 46. Its hardness is assessed as 4.75 in the Mohs’ scale. Melting point is 1,552 Celsius. Density @ 293 K is calculated as 12.02 g/cm3. In the market place, it ranks 4^th on the basis of price chart. Crystal structure is cubic and colour is white. Palladium, next to Platinum is most extensively used metal in the PGMs. Almost becoming a craze amongst the young and old it goes as main metal jewellery in every type of wear including necklace. Like gold it is used for filling and finishing departments. Due to the proscription of nickel over health concerns, Palladium has replaced it in the manufacture of white gold jewellery.

Iridium: Symbol is Ir and Atomic Number is 77. Its hardness is same as Ruthenium at 6.5 in the Mohs’ scale. Melting point is highest amongst the PGMs at 2,410 Celsius. Density @ 293 K calculated as 22. 5 g/cm3 is once again highest for the PGMs. In the market place, it ranks 3^rd on the basis of price chart. Crystal structure is cubic and colour is spot white. Possessed of brilliant and shiny white colour, Iridium is used to give an extra finish to jewellery made of PGM group especially Platinum and Palladium. In the case of former, it forms a natural companionship resulting in well-known alloy “IridPlat” which is 90% Platinum and 10% Iridium, a material that is used to turn out eye catching jewellery pieces. On the same page of alloy, Iridium can be used outside the PGM in gold and silver jewellery as well to give fantastic colour and texture.

Platinum: Symbol is Pt and Atomic Number is 78. In terms of hardness Platinum is the lowest amongst the five and clocks 3.5 on Mohs’ scale. Melting point of 1,772 Celsius means lot of hard work at the bench when Platinum is the main metal. In comparison, Palladium is much easier for the fabricators and most often they tend to go for an alloy where Palladium is 20% to Platinum of 80%. Density @ 293 K is calculated as 21. 45 g/cm3 is few points below of Iridium. Most noteworthy feature is that Platinum is ranked as 1^st in the price chart not only of PGMs but for all precious metals traded in any metal exchange. Crystal structure is cubic and colour is silvery. Platinum jewellery is known for its sophistry, prestige and perhaps for snobbishness.

Choosing the right metal and appropriate alloy is not an easy task though. Apart from aesthetic and investment value of gem & jewellery, you must also look at the value of cosmics. As you are aware, cosmic energy emitting from gems & metals can make you a successful person. That is only possible when you select the right type of metals that works for you.

How Precious are Jewellery Metals?

When gold hit a recorded high in August 2011, it was in everybody’s lips as the most precious metal. But within eight months the free fall of the price on gold shocked the market. Evidently, Platinum as precious metal couldn’t be dethroned that easily. For those who are interested in gem & jewellery there are valid reasons to tie up with Platinum and other white metals.

Let me give you the closing list of prices of precious metals on August 13, 2012 in U S $ per ounce as below:

Platinum 1,487

Gold 1,323

Rhodium 1,010

Iridium 850

Palladium 735

Ruthenium 80

Silver 21

As I said in the beginning gold hit the recorded highest price in August 2011 when it traded around US $ 1,909/- per ounce. But price for Platinum continued to fluctuate in a narrow range without much hiccups. Same is true for many other metals in the chart above. Except for Gold and Silver, other metals in the chart are collectively known as Platinum Group of Metals (PGM). That means Platinum, Rhodium, Iridium, Palladium and Ruthenium are bunched together. These metals are sought after by consumers and fabricators of gem & jewellery.

Some interesting facts emerge about PGM. A major salience is that all these metals appear in the Periodic Table under Transition metals category in line 5 & 6 due mainly because these have similar physical and chemical properties. All these are white or near white metals. PGM also includes Osmium which is not very much used in jewellery articles. Reportedly, Osmium reacts with oxygen at room temperature and being fairly volatile is said to harm human skin.

Second point is that PGM is divided into two sub-groups. Iridium sub-group includes Ruthenium, Osmium, and Iridium. Out of this Iridium is so pricey and ranks fourth in the above precious metals list. Next, Palladium sub-group nestles under it Rhodium, Palladium and Platinum. If you whet the chart once again, you will see all three metals perch on the top of the range. Overall, it is the Platinum Group of Metals that hold sway in the market today.

Silver is last in the pecking order. Nonetheless it shares a feature of being whitish metal with the PGM. The odd man out in the list is Gold which is of golden –yellow colour. White metals are extensively used in jewellery fabrication.

A good piece of jewellery made of precious metals is a treasure to be owned and relished. Apart from aesthetic and investment value, gem & jewellery has cosmics in abundance. This energy is enhanced when suitable cosmic gems embellish articles of jewellery. As you are aware gems & metals are great vibrators. Selecting the right gem alone is not enough; you have to zero in on the right metal as well. In this regard, white precious metals afford you variety. More than that there is price competitiveness too.

Decagram Cosmic Jewellery

Rendered in multifarious forms Decagram cosmic jewellery is catching up in the gem & jewellery market place. Unlike in the case of designer ware, cosmic jewellery is made for a special person you are who value fastidiousness and at the same time usefulness in harnessing your personal cosmics to lead a successful life. Here is brief portrait of Decagram Cosmic Jewellery.

Decagram is ten-pointed star whose origin can be traced to a decagon. Simply stated decagon is a star polygon with 10 sides and angles where the sides are equal in space. If drawn within a circle the space between two pointers is 36 degree. Popular designs of decagram include ten-pointed star, decagon with 10 sides trimmed and floral relief in line with the flower Mentzalia. The last one lifts the veil of secrecy surrounding decagram. Biologically there is no flower that boasts ten petals. Closer examination reveals that Mentzalia actually has only five petals and the rest are of split growth that intertwines cleverly giving the impression of ten petals. From here we can move on to yet another way of making a decagram, that is to place two pentagrams ( five – pointed star) overlying on each other in opposite direction. So we have two pentagrams one normal and the other inverse in a decagram.

Combing these two shapes into one, decagram is said to harmonize two diametrically opposed forces and fuse them into a single synergistic cosmic flow. For example normal pentagram is said to give protection, defence and sky whereas an inverse pentagram is associated with deflection, attack and earth. Admittedly the former takes you to higher self-consciousness while the latter pulls you to practical reality. No wonder why inverse program was often linked to Bapometh, who is a devilish goat faced God who really means business in his work schedule. Many other diametrically opposite aspects are corralled in a decagram. Masculine & feminine, lingam & yoni, Shiva & Shakti, rise & fall, Isis & Osiris in Egypt, spirituality & secularism and so on.

Decagram cosmic jewellery is used for several occasions. Starting a new life, career and course of study necessitates a decagram donned by you. If your profession demands balancing between two opposing forces, say a fund manager or stockbroker who constantly has to trade –off risk and reward, then Decagram is a good piece of jewellery for you. Managing polarity in everything you do, mandates that you better be guarded by decagram cosmic jewellery. A racing car driver sandwiched between caution and speed is a perfect example of someone managing polarity.

Many types of jewellery wear can sport a marvellous decagram for that winning streak. Adorned as a pendant in and around your neck, decagram could be laid within a circle. Further flourish can be worked into this piece by adding images on the sides or embossing the lines in varying thickness. At each point touching the outer circle suitable gemstones could be embellished. Using 10 petals is another option. In petals floral rendering can add colour and credence. A simple ten pointed star with or without a base would be enough in most cases.

Circular ring with decagram inside is majestic. Turning it as a signet ring is another possibility. Bracelets can be worn with decagon on the surface. A better way to make it as a dangling one tied to the bracelet via chain. Suitable cosmic gems must be brought in as accent stones or if necessary as a main one studded in the centre. Ostensibly gems & metals act as great vibrators and resonators in generating cosmic energy provided that, suitable gems & metals are chosen. That would guarantee getting the best deal. A timely reminder once again: get your cosmics work for you by using proper gem & jewellery.

Using Niobium Wire as Cosmic Jewellery

Space – age metal Niobium has multiple uses for the jewellery industry. Sold as Niobium wire it is used to turn out ear wire, clasp, loop, stem, pin, blank and hooks which are collectively known as jewellery findings. Solder less chain, jump ring and bangles are also made from this wire. Yet the best use for which Niobium wire can be put is to fabricate comic jewellery.

Niobium possesses a greater degree of Yin, the feminine element. Not only because the metal is named after Greek goddess of Niobe that has given an aura of femininity but also due to its unique position in the metal table. For example Titanium, Rhodium, Germanium and Niobium are measured of having the same hardness of 6 in terms of Mohs scale. Amongst these metals Niobium has the highest melting point at 2,468 C. Yet Niobium is more malleable and ductile than others in the table. Moreover, natural Niobium which is silver grey white metal can lend itself to be anodized in rainbow colours, a feature that goes with femininity.

This fact alone has led jewellers to have a love affair with this metal. Admittedly it is the slew of anodized colours that gives the metal a touch of class and beauty. World over women admire this metal for its beauty, shine and smoothness that reaches them at an affordable price. Apart from using as jewellery findings such as ear and nose wire that pierce body without ever harming it, Niobium wire alone can be used as cosmic jewellery with least working on it.

Jump ring made of Niobium wire started this trend and today solder less chain, bangles and bracelets are readily available in the market to be worn by women to reap cosmic energy. Couple of salience has given Niobium a big boost. One is Niobium cannot be soldered as a result jewellers use cold work techniques such as miniature rivets , bezels and bolts to join two parts together as in the case of bangles. Second point is even though fusion welding can be effectively used as joiner to fabricate say, a bracelet, and users prefer leaving two ends touching barely each other. This method allows cosmic energy to flow to and fro in a loop with occasional leakage to the skin so that energy is re-generated, circulated and absorbed in an ideal manner.

As a soft shiny metal Niobium is hypoallergenic and keep you steady. Niobium wire does not cause metal reaction. But much depends on the anodized colour. In addition to rainbow colours of orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet the wire is overlaid with scintillating hues such as rose, cobalt-blue, peacock-blue, pink, brown and other tints. Selection of the right colour tone is crucial to get positive cosmics from your Niobium wire.

For example you might like the colour rose but your cosmics would repel this colour. In that situation, if you wear rose coloured Niobium wire then it is counter – productive. Understanding your cosmics is the first step you should take. As you are aware cosmics relate to aspects that are residing within you un-known and un-fathomed by you but work behind the scene and influence and impact you throughout your life and career. You like Niobium because your system wishes to enhance female energy. Now you have to extend this liking to internalize by zeroing on the right tone of colour.

Ideal Number of Jewellery Articles

You have got used to wearing commercial jewellery which you can use any way you want and any number of items you can afford to. But when it comes to cosmic jewellery it is different. Often you are advised to wear a particular number of articles so that you can garner the benefits of using these seamlessly. Here is a brief discourse:

Unlike in the case of commercial jewellery which only adds aesthetic value, cosmic jewellery grants you utility value. Simply speaking cosmic jewellery is donned by you for a particular purpose. Such purposes include, but not limited to health & wealth, love & affection, relationship issues, enhancing self-confidence, boosting personality and making you perceived as a smarter and lovable person. Moreover, enhancing balance & harmony; uplifting winning spirits, along with harnessing positive cosmics are few other purposes. Money minded persons would like improving fortune and business prospects. When you have multiple purposes you will need multiple solutions in the form of different items of cosmic jewellery. More of it the merrier you will think.

It is not so. When you wear a single item of jewellery you have one permutation and combination. When the second item is added you have three permutation and combination. Third leads to six and fourth one jacks it up to ten. At this point we have to draw the line. Otherwise, you will not be able to handle the flow of cosmics emanating from the articles of gem & jewellery you use and channelize it in effective manner.

But if you wish to wear different sets of jewellery for different times help is on the way. One method is to use a set of cosmic jewellery of four pieces during waxing moon and another group during waning moon. Similarly you can wear different assemblage on the basis of months. For example, during January you can use four items and as you reach first of February you remove the ones you had used, and switch on to another cluster. This scheme can be extended to seasons as well. You can adorn an assortment of jewellery article for spring and another collection for summer. Whatever you do remember one thing. You should not wear anything more than four pieces of jewellery articles in a given time.

All that Glitters is not Gold

You must beware when buying gold articles from gem & jewellery market place. Appearance can be misleading and much so in gold jewellery. So the adage “All that glitters is not gold” applies well in the case of jewellery articles peddled as gold. There are several ways in which base metals can be turned into gold like jewellery. Chiefly amongst these are gold finished, gold plated, rolled god and gold filled ones. Here is a primer on these types.

Gold Finished: This type of jewellery is vended under names such as “gold tone”, “gold flash” and “gilt finished” as well. The jewellery articles are initially made with base metals such as copper, steel or brass and then subjected to a thin coat of gold layer being electroplated using pressure and heat. Another method is to dip the jewellery piece into a gold mixed solution and heat it to dry. The thin layer is about 0.2 to 1.0 microns of gold. A micron means a unit of length equal to one millionth of a meter. You can easily rub off the thin layer even by using your nails. The brightness of gold vanishes in no time.

Gold Plated: Surface of Jewellery articles made from underlying metals such as copper, steel, brass or in some cases silver and palladium is plated with gold using electroplating applied through electricity and chemical deposition. Normal plating uses about 1 to 10 microns gold whereas heavy plating can go up as high as 20 microns gold. Brightness can diminish after prolonged use and the surface can be peeled off or flaked off, depending on the level of microns. Normal plated articles could last for couple of years if carefully used. Heavy plated ones can last a decade or so if you are careful, manufacturing guarantee of the jeweller notwithstanding.

Rolled Gold: Unlike in the case of plating where articles of jewellery being plated, rolled gold is made as a sheet for the jeweller to be used as raw material. There is no plating process applied here. What happens is base metal such as copper, steel or brass is cloaked with a layer of gold and thereafter heat fussed together to arrive at rolled gold. Hence this method is known as fusion process. Generally 20 to 40 microns gold is fused. Thereafter using this rolled gold sheet jewellery pieces are fabricated. Gold content in the finished articles is standardised as 2.5 % of the total weight. Rolled gold items last for several years intact.

Gold Filled: Similar to the above, layer of gold is rolled over underlying metal such as copper, steel, brass and silver under high pressure until it is bonded. Gold filled sheet might contain 40 to 100 microns sometimes even more. Jewellery articles made from gold filled metal can last for a lifetime. Gold content in the finished jewellery articles must be at-least 5% of the total weight

Even though rolled gold and gold filled are referred to by a common name as “Gold Overlay” there is clear distinction of using these depending on the level of microns gold used and the type of underlying metal. For instance the term rolled gold is perceived as applicable to non-precious metals such as copper, steel and brass that are subjected to the fusion process. In the case of gold filled, it can be used for both non-precious metals and precious metals including silver and palladium.

It must be pointed out that gems & metals have inherent cosmics that influence and impact you. Gold is a key metal generating cosmics in the form of and cosmic energy. It helps you in enhancing your mental ability. Gold also provides warmth, wisdom and wealth. Incidence of arthritic disorders and chronic diseases is lessened when you wear gold jewellery. However when the content of gold is less it can be easily presumed that resulting cosmic energy is also would be lower.

Cuprite, Gemstone for Women

The irony of Cuprite Is phenomenal; it is made from copper oxide a widely occurring mineral in several countries. Yet gem quality Cuprite is rare and sought after as collectors’ gem. There is another twist to the story. This gem is, after diamond the best friend for a woman.

Cuprite is fairly a new finding that came to the attention of gem lovers in 1850s when it was picked up in South-western Africa. Its bright red colour and translucence kindled much attention and publicity leading to heavy mining of the mineral. By 1950s almost all the best quality red stones have vanished from the market. Today even spotting gem quality Cuprite of 2 carats and more from Africa is scarce. But then new findings were made in Australia, USA and Mexico to alleviate the situation.

By this time, gem & jewellery industry has discovered that there are two distinct varieties of Cuprite: one is bright red colour stone dubbed as “Ruby Copper” presently mined in Namibia. The second one is lustrous and opaque stone of crimson colour found mainly in Mexico. The former is often of cubic crystal structure while crimson Cuprite is of octahedral crystal structure. Though this technicality is not much of importance to the users, for the gem collectors and enthusiasts ruby copper has become a sought after item due to its rarity, crystal structure and the brilliant red colour.

Tonal colour of red Cuprite can vary between crimson to maroon shades as well as brownish to purplish red. Apart from the fascinating colour being a big plus, Cuprite suffers from being so brittle. Its Mohs’ hardness ranges between 3.5 to 4.0. Consequently the gemstone can be easily scratched or cracked during mounting on jewellery articles. Still it has not dampened the enthusiasm of gem & jewellery industry. Undaunted jewellers are turning out articles including ring, earring, pendant, bead necklace that are set with this remarkable gemstone.

Cuprite is definitely a gemstone for women. After diamonds, they would find Cuprite gemstones as the best friends for them. Cosmics of Cuprite is again tinged with irony. Being a cosmic gem with an immense resource of male power known as Yang, you might think it is meant for macho men. Ironically Cuprite is used by women for issues bordering on their femininity. There again we see opposites. For example, for a woman who fear heights and altitudes Cuprite is the solace. She can carry it with her while flying in aeroplanes or working in high rise offices. On the contrary, in her own physique she can use Cuprite for issues emanating in and around lower abdomen. Dysfunction of womb, irregular cycle of menses, and deficiency in sexuality are some of the conditions for which Cuprite can give redress. In sum, Cuprite remains one of the key cosmic gems for women.
