Citrine Gem StonePage 1
Citrine was considered to be the gem stone of wealth in ancient times. It is not sure whether the golden color of some citrine gems brought about this belief. Like many other gems, citrine belongs to the quartz family and has a hardness that makes it suitable for jewelry. Citrine and amethyst have a hardness of 7 when measured on the Mohs scale. When you wear a citrine gem stone ring or other jewel, you need not worry too much about water or detergents affecting the gemstone. It is the color and this durability that makes citrine very popular in ladies and men's jewels. After all, men do not really take too much care of the jewelry that they wear. If you had to talk about the color of citrine gems, you would need to understand the color range in which this yellow gemstone can be found. A very pale yellow citrine gem stone would not show any other color tones. You should not confuse citrine with lemon quartz, as they are two different gems. Lemon quartz can often be a greenish yellow color. Citrine gems can also have a darker shade of yellow, this is often tinted with brown or orange. Some citrine gems are supposed to represent the color of a Portugese wine. These citrines are often referred to by the name of that Portugese wine and are called Madeira citrine gemstones. It is important to remember that the term madeira does not refer to the place where the gem was mined, it is actually a mere reference to a particular color of some citrine gems. Gemstone sellers sometimes use confusing names like 'topaz quartz' to describe citrine gems. Topaz does not belong to the quartz family and the term topaz quartz has been coined to fool buyers into believing that citrine is the same as yellow topaz. You might have guessed that yellow topaz is much more expensive as compared to citrine. The November birth stone is citrine but, topaz is also one of the November birthstones. You can have some very gorgeous and innovative citrine gemstone jewels because the gem is not very expensive and large sizes are still available. Fancy cuts can be done in citrine, you can therefore get full benefit of the custom gemstone cutting provided by Kaisilver. The CTN-01 yellow citrine gem shown below is a good example of how the cut of the gemstone can enhance it's appearance and value. The image shows a gorgeous trillion shaped citrine gemstone with a multi faceted (checkerboard) cut on the surface.

Who Is Kaisilver? With a spectacular online track record that extends over 8 years, Kaisilver is today widely accepted as the global leader in online custom jewelry. A team of over 3,500 skilled craftsmen and gemstone cutters works on all custom jewelry orders received by us. Seven top notch designers drawn from five nations ensure that buyer requirements are well understood no matter which part of the globe they come from. This wide expertise allows us to produce high end jewelry of all types, modern, traditional, historic and even antique. The gemstones used in our jewelry are not leftovers, they are not drawn from a fixed inventory. We have instead developed and built a close network with the world's largest sources for gemstone mining and manufacturing. This gives us priority access to over 200 million carats of gems. In the majority of cases, fresh batches of gems are first made available to us. We then pick the cream of the lot and the remaining gems are returned to the gem manufacturer, that is the produce that then hits local markets in various countries. So why then have many people not heard of Kaisilver. The reason is simple and straight forward. At Kaisilver we do not believe in spending big bills on advertising and publicity gimmicks. Though we do have fashion models and sportsmen in our customer list, we do not use them as sponsors for our custom jewelry. We realize that expensive showrooms and commission driven sales staff all add up on the price tag. The final buyer needs to bear all these overheads and this reduces the material value that the buyer derives for the price paid. We have as a policy, kept away from hiring sales staff. All customer service requirements are made by experts in gems and jewelry. We use customer satisfaction levels as a bench mark to measure staff capability and capacity. So it is customer satisfaction that keeps us in business and ensures a high growth rate. How To Order? The process to order gems and custom jewelry at Kaisilver is similar. We do not expect you to make a rush purchase. We do wish that you take the time to discuss your requirements with our experts. They will be in a position to provide constructive suggestions that will guide you to make well informed buying decisions. Email all your requirements to sales@kaisilver.com provide as much inputs as possible to help us make relevant suggestions. For example if you are keen on getting a green gemstone but, are not particular about it being an emerald mention this in your email. Our gem experts might suggest a green tourmaline or even a peridot instead of an emerald. This suggestion would reduce our profit margins but will give you a gem that, is much cheaper and even more durable as compared to an emerald. When it comes to payments we offer some very suitable options. Paypal is the preferred form of payment, it is fair to the buyer and seller. The buyer when using paypal never needs to reveal credit card of bank information to the seller. We also accept direct bank transfers but prefer to do this on a case by case basis. When it comes to online transactions these days, both buyer and seller are afraid of frauds. It is quite possible that you do not feel comfortable working with us at Kaisilver. We sometimes feel a little uncomfortable with certain transactions too and prefer to keep away from them. There have always been fears of processing payments through Western Union money transfers. With the latest fraud reports, fake sellers and even fake buyers have been pulling off many online frauds using this mode of payment. At the same time we do understand that armed forces from the U.S who are stationed in various global positions sometimes have no other mode of payment besides Western Union. We therefore accept this mode of payment but at the same time, request you to avoid this mode if you do not feel comfortable using it. Shipping is done through FEDEX and you can expect a production lead time of around 4 to 5 weeks from the date of order confirmation and receipt of payment. Every jewel is fully custom made and requires the complete attention and concentration of highly skilled craftsmen. When it comes to gems, we could provide faster lead times and this can be discussed for each specific order. Buyer Testimonials. Below are a few comments from some of our buyers. As mentioned above we have a very serious interest in buyer satisfaction since our very existence depends solely depends on satisfied buyers. A high degree of repeat orders and a large number of orders being received through buyer recommendations has been at the heart of our success. Kaisilver buyers include people from all professions and walks of life. Fashion models, sportsmen, politicians, lawyers, financial experts, doctors and surgeons, members of the armed forces, newsreaders and journalists, students, casino and resort owners make up most of our buyer list.
