Suitable promise ring?
My boyfriend and I decided to get rings for each other to commemorate our 2-year-old relationship - since the rings would be a surprise to each other, they wouldn't match (unless we're so alike in the way we think).
We've printed out the ring size measuring tape from Blue Nile's website so we both know each other's size. Since I have no idea what he's getting for me, I'm afraid the ring I choose for him would be below his expectations.
First of all, I have no idea what type of metal he likes or dislikes since he wears no jewelry (he only wears a wristwatch). I have narrowed my selection down to titanium for its gun-metal color and durability. Before that, I was considering carved Burmese jadeite or amber but I couldn't find genuine suppliers in my city - most of them were selling nephrites.
Is there a guideline on how much I should spend on a promise ring? Is a simple titanium band with no precious stones too cheap?
Hey. My BF and I just got promise rings for each other. We have no idea what they look like. Titanium is pretty expensive. I got him a stainless steel ring. It was inexpensive, but durable. I wouldn't suggest going with claddagh rings since a lot of people wear them. My BF's has the word "balance" engraved on in it in the Mayan language. I chose one word that symbolizes life in general. You can order things on line. Try looking at promiserings.com or go to search engine and type in men's promise rings. If you have been otgether for two years, I don't think he will have any expectations, and just love what you get him. It's really not about the ring, but the promise that comes attached to it. Good luck.

Jadeite - The Residing Stone
It's seductive, mysterious, addictive-it's jade. Individuals have died for it. Legends surround it. A Chinese emperor when presented fifteen cities for a jade carving so modest that it healthy while in the palm of his hand. Jade was thought to be a male stone, so naked virgins had been sent to assemble it from stream beds while in the belief the stone will be attracted to them. Jade has survived floods, fires, burial, and financial upheavals. Not least of all, during the earlier decade, some jade carvings for sale have appreciated at a fee of nearly 3 thousand percent. Another plus for collectors is the fact that manly of these treasures are little adequate being conveniently transportable or worn as jewelry.
Jade carvings are hoarded by some shrewd investors and proceed to get avidly sought. Jades value investing in are gem good quality Burmese jadeite, the archaic jades from your Han by means of Sung Dynasties (206 B.C. to 1297 A.D.), or even the more not long ago developed Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1912) Dynasty items. While it can be legitimate that some jade carvings can set you back again countless dollars, wonderful, genuine items can still be acquired for any handful of hundred bucks or less.
Any possible collector should first get not less than a operating understanding of your mysteries and myths adjoining jade. It was considered to protect the lifeless from decomposition, so many jades have been buried together with the deceased. When excavated, these are generally at times called "tomb jades." Chinese authors have named jade "tears in the Imperial Dragon," "a window to actuality," "the stone of heaven," "the stone of immortality," and "the dwelling stone." These references allude to nephrite, 1 on the two stones which are grouped underneath the normal term jade. One other is jadeite.
When a lot of people consider of jade, the colour green involves head, however jade is available in every last colour with the spectrum. Pure jade (the two nephrite and jadeite) is white. Coloration comes from impurities of other minerals within the stone. Iron provides the largest wide range of colours from pale green to browns, yellows, grays, in close proximity to black and, on really rare events, blue. Manganese is accountable for shades of gray and black and, quite seldom, pink. Chromium may make doable the vivid emerald green from the valued Imperial green jadeite coloration.
Though manly cultures, which include native People in america and ancient tribes through the South Seas to New Zealand have collected and prized jade, it can be the oriental jades which excite most collectors. West Coast jade fanatics are in particular fortunate simply because so many fine jades can be found from the location.
So, jade is actually a broad group which incorporates two separate stones. Nephrite is often a silicate of magnesium. It is actually the old, unique jade of which all archaic pieces are created. A relative newcomer is jadeite, which comes from Burma and was not known in China until finally 1784. It had been pure white nephrite which the Emperor of China used as an instrument for communicating with heaven. It had been nephrite which was used for ceremonial implements and on which the record of Chinese art and symbolism is hinged. Nephrite will be the toughest stone on earth: it takes fifty tons of excess weight to crush 1 cubic inch of nephrite. As a result of its toughness it wears very properly, and in many cases historic pieces frequently seem in flawless condition. Jadeite, nonetheless, has a crystalline framework and breaks relatively conveniently.
