Diamonds, white gold and a classic worksmanship and design.

A closer look at the wedding bands and proposal ring. This is none other than Sera who is holding on to her uniquely designed rings. The wedding band can be interlocked into the proposal ring for another look. She suggested the interlocking effect and we came up with the designs.

Delayed post- My best customers S & S finally got married on 9.10.11

2012-01-05T22:24:00.000-08:00

Simply love Sera and Sandy: 1 lovely couple who finally said I do on the 9.10.11. What an easy date to remember but it is a shame that I didnt make it cos my kids were down with fever. Nevertheless, I loved working and knowing these couple alot and hence we have became good friends.

These 3 rings: 1 proposal and 2 weddings bands are customised to their very liking of having the symbol "S" which signifies very much their love for each other as the "S" are each other's initial.
Well, the love stories had began and we are all anticipating the junior "S"s in the life some time down the road. All the best!

D came to me one day with a 0.71Ct, E color, VS1 brilliant diamond that came with a GIA certification.

White Jade in rose gold! Brillant combination.

2010-10-26T08:45:00.000-07:00

One day, a lady by the name of JB contacted me via email and we arranged to meet. She is a superb lady and we hit it off right from the start. I can see from her collection that she is a jade lover. So she told me to come up with a design for her white jade. However after a few days, she told me that she still like the rope design and asked me to duplicate
the same setting for her.

Here is the finished product and I have made another friend in JB cos we both are lovers of jewelleries.

The beauty of black and gold

2010-07-25T20:11:00.000-07:00

A customer passed me her Burmese black jade and asked for a unique design. And hence birthed forth this beautiful gem in its sophiscated design. Love it!

The workmanship is excellent and you are able to see the fine detailing on each band strips.

Time to know your metals well

2009-09-23T07:14:00.000-07:00

Gold has been the inspiration for jewellery since the beginning of time. It's coveted for its gleaming beauty and strong yet malleable nature. Gold will not rust, corrode or tarnish.

Gold is measured in karats, abbreviated as the letter "K" and preceded by a number. 100% pure gold is 24K. However, in its pure form, gold is too soft to be used in jewellery. In order to give it resilience to hold up to everyday wear, gold is alloyed with other metals.

Gold is Available in a Variety of Different Karats

22 karat (91.7% gold)
While beautiful, it is really too soft for use in jewellery as the gold would literally bend out of shape. You will often see antique 22k gold jewellery in museums.

18 karat (75% gold)
Excellent for use in fine jewellery with a rich, deep color. 18K gold is a little softer than 14K and will usually wear a little more, giving it a soft patina.

14 karat (58.3% gold)
Great for use in traditional jewellery. This is a hard, resilient metal that will maintain much of its original look (polish and detail) for many years.

12 karat (50% gold)
We do not use nor recommend below 14k as the color is not an attractive, rich hue at this percentage.

10 karat (41.7% gold)
Although this is the minimum legal karatage allowed to be called gold in the US, we do not use nor recommend it for jewellery.

Ping Ping & Pee Lay's Wedding

2009-04-05T07:56:00.000-07:00

After two months of searching, we were both elated when finally we found a pair of wedding bands at one of the jewelry shop in Raffles City, which we thought was 'the ring'! Happy as we were, we were disappointed to be informed by the sales person that the width of the groom's ring cannot be increased, otherwise there would be customization charges, thereby would be exorbitant. Through a friend's recommendation, we were introduced to Glen'n'Gems. After the first discussion, we were assured and confident that Glen'n'Gems is able to provide us with good service, and design our wedding bands as per the design at the jewelry shop at Raffles City. To our delight, we were able to increase the width of the groom's ring according to our requirements, and all in, the cost of the wedding bands was much lower than what we would expect from a customized pair. We only expected the wedding bands to be ready for collection one month from order, and hence we did not plan to include them in our wedding photo-shoots. To our surprise, our wedding bands were ready two weeks from order with Glen'n'Gems, and we were able to wear them during our wedding photo-taking session! The design of our wedding bands is almost a complete replica of the design at the shop in Raffles City, and the quality of our wedding bands is significantly higher than those at the shop. We are both delighted with Glen'n'Gems service, speed and workmanship, and will highly recommend wedding couples to make an appointment with Glen'n'Gems. Pee Lay & Peng Peng (PLPP)

Min Yee & Wai Kay's Wedding

2009-03-26T08:04:00.000-07:00

We went to many jewelry places to hunt for our wedding bands. We like certain aspects of some designs, we wanted something that was simple yet sleek and practical but nothing quite fit what we really wanted. When we found Glen'n'Gems, we could put together the exact design that we had in mind. We could customize every aspect of it, from the design, to the type of surface, to the thickness, the curvature and the type of diamonds. Glenice was also professional in advising us what design combination would be ideal. In the end, we got for ourselves our perfect signature wedding bands within our budget! Min Yee & Wai Kay

Amethyse - The brillant purple stone

2008-05-29T07:45:00.000-07:00

Crystalline quartz in shades of purple, lilac, or mauve is called Amethyse, a stone traditionally worn to guard against drunkness, and to instill a sober and serious mind.

Amethyse is dichroic, showing a bluish or reddish purple tinge when viewed from different angles. Usually faceted as a mixed-or step cut, amethyst has distinctive inclusions which look like tiger-stripes, thumbprints, or feathers. Some Amethyse is heat-treated to change color to yellow,producing citrine.

The 4 C's

A woman's friend

2006-06-16T09:21:00.000-07:00

Diamond is a woman's friend and I couldn't agree more to this sentence made. I personally believe that a gal shoould own a simple set of diamonds for a start. It does not have to huge stones but good enough to bring them to different dinners and socialising events.

Diamond is the hardest mineral on earth and with its exceptional lustre and fire made, it is the most highly prized of all gems. Colorless & pure diamond is the most popular choice among the ladies.

Other color varities include yellow, brown to green, red and grey & black are also found depending on the impurities present.,

Because of the uniform arrangement of their constitute carbon atoms, diamond crystals are well formed - usually octahedral with round edges and slightly convet faces. Diamonds are graded by the 4 C's. Carat (weight), cut, clarity & color.

From the sea...Aquamarine

2006-06-07T02:31:00.000-07:00

Aquamarine comes in different tones of blues. At present times, the color that most people valued are deep blue and sky blue. However the aquamarine that people adores is sea-green which the name itself also mean sea water.

This gem can appear blue or colourless if view from different angles. The best shape for Aquamarine to appear is hexagonal which can be up to 1m long and flawless. In order to enhance the colour of aquamarine, it is usually heat treated. However one has to take care that Aquamarine is not over heated as it will cause the gem to lose its colour gradually.

The best aquamarine is found mainly in Brazil where it occurs in pegmatites and alluvial deposites of gravel.

Other countries that follows Brazil in their good formation of this stones are India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Russia and Nigeria.
In Madagascar, one can usually find the darker blue variety.

Thus far, I have posted 3 gemstones rings and it has clearly shown that all 3 rings are of classic cut and design.This 3rd ring has 2 trillion cubic zirconia at the sides. Of course not forgetting that the main attraction is the 3 over carats of aquamarine at the centre of the ring.

Where can Gemstones be found?

2006-06-04T07:47:00.000-07:00

Quartz and garnets belongs to the more common type of gemstones and they can be found worldwide.

However as emeralds and diamonds requires more unusual geological conditions for their formation therefore they are rarer and more expensive in price. Though gemstone can be found worldwide however only a small portion of them are of gem quality.

The main gem localities of the world are therefore those where gemstone quality material occurs in sufficient quantity to make production economic.

It might not be of news to many that Japan has the best quality of pearl found in this country.Other countries such as Columbia, Brazil, Afghanistan, Burma, Russia just to name a few have their own type of gemstones found mainly in each of these countries.
E.g. In Burma , one can find more quality gemstones like Ruby and Peridot and Afghanistan have ruby and aquamarine found mainly there.

Yellow Beryl Next...

2006-05-29T21:18:00.000-07:00

You have to agree with me that this piece of yellow beryl gem truly reflects light gorgeously. This is one of my favorite pieces from my friend's collection. The clarity of the stone with little to almost no inclusion causes the stone to sparkle and shine to its fullest potential.

Side view of the ring shows the sleekness of the ring and the classic look it possess. The design of the ring enhances the shape of the yellow beryl.

If you look closely at the ring, it has 6 small diamonds at the side of the edge of the band which adds a more special touch to the entire ring. At the holder of the gemstone are also 4 small diamonds which makes the ring stands out of the ordinary.

Though the design of the ring is simple but it has a classic touch and finishing to it. I forgot to mention that the shape of the yellow beryl is oval in shape. Personally I like the shine of yellow beryl better as compared to citrine as the yellow color is lightly than those of a citrine.

Rose Quartz Revealed

2006-05-28T19:22:00.000-07:00

This is a very flawless Rose Quartz ring. Apparently Rose Quartz is not an expensive stone but yet I find this stone very serene and yet gentle in its appearance. You might not be able to see the entire setting on the ring but apparently, the ring is set both in gold and silver with tiny bits of leaves. This ring could easily come up to about S$800-1200 ( This depends on clarity of stones, if it comes with a star reflecting in stones it will be more costly,the complexity of design, the workmanship of each ring (handmade or mold),gold price..... Keep watching out for my blog as I am going to post more rings in the next few days. If you are interested to custom made, remake, redesign your jewellery with semi precious or diamonds.

Quality gemstones?

2006-05-07T19:43:00.000-07:00

It came as a surprise to me that after doing some research on the best countries for quality gemstones that I find that a country that is close to my home has it all- Myanmar.

I have not personally make a trip to this country looking for gemstones as I am new to this trade. However, a survey to one of the jewellers near to my office also source their gemstones in Myanmar. In the next few write up, I will update you with more website links and also stories of the happenings of gemstones worldwide.

I will share more of my personal experince on the gemstones with you once I have put more time in my studies on them. So keep looking out on my blog.

What makes a gemstone?

2006-05-03T09:10:00.000-07:00

Gemstones are minerals that are fashioned to accessorise for personal beauty enhancement. As such, gemstones has to be exquisite, rare, beautiful and durable.

There are about coming to 3000 types of minerals however only 50 can only be used as gemstones due to the durability that are either too soft or easily scratched that makes the gemstones not suitable for wearing.A mineral must be brilliant in colors and beautiful in order to be considered a gemstone.

As mentioned earlier that they must also be hard enough to withstand the constand use or handling which may result being scratch or damaged. Lastly, it must also be a mineral that is rare and scarce and not identical with the rest in order to fetch a high market value.

The mysterious appeal of gemstones, their colours and the light within them make them precious to many, but their rarity, hardness and durability have them even more valuable to many who knew about gemstones.
