Gem Size For Pendants
Kaisilver style experts share their tips on designing pendants with expensive gems like ruby, sapphire, emerald and surely with diamonds. We suggest that you spend some time understanding the issues being covered in this report, the 'reasonable' price concept is subjective and will differ from person to person. And it is true that there gems like aquamarine, tourmaline, spinel, opal and tanzanite can also be fairly expensive.
When designing pendants with premium gemstones like ruby, sapphire, and emerald, it's crucial to factor in the sharp price jump per carat as the gemstone size increases. This price increase is extreme when it comes to diamonds, but a fairly large number of gemstones also follow this price behavior.
GEM SIZE
Designers can focus on using moderately sized gems (0.5 to 1.5 carats) that are still impressive but offer better value - this when gems like ruby, emerald, sapphire, tanzanite, spinel, aquamarine, tourmaline etc are involved. Taking the PG903 pendants as an example, we suggest a gem size of 8x6mm or 9x7mm - while emphasizing that, you specify the gem type, shape and size when ordering this custom pendant or any other custom jewelry from Kaisilver.
If your wish is to wear a large pendant and your budget is limited, it might be a good idea to discuss gem options with our experts at sales@kaisilver.com we will be glad to help even if, you plan to make your purchase from another jeweler. For example emerald, green tourmaline, peridot, jade, malachite, green sapphire are all green but, prices and level of durability can be significantly different.
Instead of one large gem, a pendant with a cluster of small high-quality stones (for example, a floral or abstract pattern) can be eye-catching and luxurious. In this case you take advantage of the fact that, even gems like ruby, tanzanite, demantoid, sapphire and emerald - can be modestly priced in smaller sizes, these need not be tiny sizes.
DIAMONDS
Diamonds as accent stones elevate the elegance of a pendant instantly. Glittering diamonds in sizes of around 1.5mm round to 2mm round, create a luxury look especially, alongside premium gems like ruby, sapphire, or emerald. The PG903 pendants shown in ruby and sapphire, demonstrate how the diamonds add value and help highlight the center gemstone even if, the gem is not very big. Kaisilver explains that a halo of diamonds, helps give a bigger and more prominent look to the center gemstone.
Given the increased awareness and demand for lab diamonds, it is important that we make a mention here. Mention of diamonds in Kaisilver made to order pendants, imply natural diamonds. But if you wish to have lab diamonds set in your jewelry, let us know and we will work on details and pricing. You can contact the support team at sales@kaisilver.com and explain your requirements.
METALS
Though jewelry sellers prefer to push gold pendants especially when, it comes to higher priced gems like ruby, sapphire, aquamarine, diamonds, spinel, spessartite and tanzanite - Kaisilver Thailand explains that, fine jewelry can be crafted in gold or silver. You can specify gold or silver for the PG903 gemstone and diamond pendant, this irrespective of the gemstone selected.
When considering a silver pendant with sapphire, emerald, ruby tanzanite, topaz, citrine or any other gemstone - keep in mind that, plating done on silver will wear off after a while. We would recommend no plating and that, cleaning be done just as you notice signs of tarnish on your silver pendant. We will leave the final decision on plating to you, we can do plating if that is what you prefer.
When choosing a gold pendant keep in mind that, the metal itself would add a significant amount to the price tag. Choose a design that makes a right balance between gem size, gold weight and appearance. You do not want to go for a gold gem and diamond pendant that is flimsy and delicate. We would recommend 14k pendants as the metal hardness if supported with an optimum metal weight, is suitable for frequent and prolonged wear jewelry.
You can choose from 10k, 14k or 18k gold pendants and specify white, yellow or pink gold. Our experts at sales@kaisilver.com will be glad to guide you with related information.
CUSTOMIZATION
The gem size suitable for your pendant would depend on the gem selected, your budget and the overall look that you desire. The dimensions for the PG903 could be customized to accommodate your choice of gemstone and diamonds. Kaisilver explains that, larger pendants generally require more material (gold or silver) and often a larger or more premium gemstone, which naturally increases the cost. Your budget helps define the range you can explore comfortably.
If you're going for something bold and eye-catching, a larger pendant might suit the look. For a more subtle or elegant style, a smaller, more delicate pendant could be ideal. When it comes to pendants with significance like a heart pendant, a claddagh pendant, a pendant with the peace symbol or a pendant with a birthstone or anniversary gemstone - the significance is in the shape or symbol. The point is that in such cases, the pendant would have the same degree of significance, irrespective of the size.
Just keep in mind that each made to order pendant is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans at Kaisilver Thailand. This ensures that we can accommodate, just about any design feature or gemstone that you desire. And the same high standards are maintained for a gold or silver pendant.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am very excited and overwhelmed to receive my ring and earrings. The ring is EXACTLY the same as the one that was stolen and I never thought I could replace it exactly, even to the spinal effect of the stones. The result is the ring is perfectly the same and the earrings match so well, just like the ones I lost. I do thank you so much. Your service and products have been excellent, and I would thoroughly recommend you to anyone. Reading the comments of other people you must be very pleased with the pleasure you give to your customers, when they receive your products. Please use me for publicity if you wish.

Thank you to you and your wonderful sales team for the ring I received yesterday. It is beautifully weighted and faceted, husband says it feels wonderful,and it looks fabulous on his hand. Such craftmanship is hard to find! Look forward to more business with you in the future. Most sincerely, Jeanette Ustin.
I received my Claddagh ring and band last week and I want to thank you so much for all your assistance. The Claddagh ring is absolutely gorgeous – it’s more than I had hoped for. The peridot stone and diamonds are very brilliant and perfect in every way. Both the Claddagh ring and the matching band fit perfectly and go so well together. I am truly thrilled to put this ring on every day. I have had many compliments on the ring, too. You do fantastic work! I love the beautiful, handmade card that you sent with the ring. It was such a nice, personal touch.
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for an absolutely beautiful job. I am proud to show this ring off, and will be excited to add the wedding band to it in October. Thank you so much for everything! I wish you all the best. J With heartfelt thanks, Meri Linn. Kind regards.
