Intense design effort: Observe the detailed images of this custom white
gold cage ring and you will agree that this is not an ordinary jewel. The design
effort is as complex as the production technics used to make this gorgeous ring.
The designers needed to consider the properties of various gems and the level of
skill that would be required to actually manufacture such cage rings. That
was the only way that the design which looked dazzling on paper could be made
into a real stunning ring. The calculation of the width of the gaps within the
grid are based on the gemstone sizes and shapes. The objective was to create
a 'basket full' of gemstones effect and the results are amazing. While working
with a given frame of parameters, the designers could not be too restrictive
on various aspects of the design. To give a much wider appeal it was necessary
for the design to be adaptable, to accomodate the preference of many jewelry
lovers.
Sturdy construction: The construction of cage rings needs to be streamlined
and graceful, this is to be done without compromising on durability. Putting in
too much of metal weight in the grid would make the ring more durable, but
would also make the ring a lot less graceful. Advance designing efforts coupled
with a thorough control of the production process, allows us to give equal
emphasis to external appearance and longterm durability. Sufficient metal weight
is provided for every portion of the ring, even the portion that is behind the
finger is given good metal thickness. Many jewelers would have found it easier
to create the cage by assembling and soldering pre-bent gold or sterling silver
wires. This method would not create a sturdy cage ring, assembled wires could
separate, this could ruin your ring and allow the gemstones to spill out of the
cage. The RG231 gem stone cage ring is made by casting the entire cage portion as
one single piece. This gives the jewelry craftsmen a tough task, to cleanly and
skillfully file and polish the various sections of the cage. However, the benefits
that the buyer gets in terms of durability makes the craftsman's efforts worthwhile.
Gemstone expertise: At first glance, it does not seem that the gemstone
selection, gemstone cutting and gemstone assembly is an intricate operation
for a cage ring. But once you understand that each gem stone has it's own
properties, things get clearer. The heating process used to make the cage
ring might, affect some gems. It takes a gemstone expert to select the type
of gems that are suited for making these custom cage rings. Cutting a gemstone
to wrong dimensions could cause the gemstone to protrude out of the cage, this
would surely not be a pretty sight. If you decide to combine gems in your cage
ring, you can work on various color combinations with our support team. The
fact that we custom cut every gemstone in our jewelry allows us to precisely
cut each gemstone. It is not easy to inspect the quality of the gemstones once
the gems are set into the cage ring. Our gemstone experts carefully handpick
the gems and ensure that you get good value for your money. You can choose
from an unlimited range of gemstone options.
Metal choice: The fact that our cage rings are fully custom made means
that you can choose the metal for your ring. If you prefer gold, we would suggest
a 14k cage ring as the hardness is perfectly suited for the intricate design.
We can make this ring in 18k gold too, so let us know your choice. The gold
color is another feature where you can excercise your options. White gold cage
rings are more popular, but there is no reason why you cannot wear a yellow
gold cage ring. Few of our designers feel that a combination of rose gold with
pink gems would give an awesome appearance for a cage ring. The options are
endless so follow your imagination and we can make the ring a reality for you.
We ensure that gold and silver cage rings get the same level of attention and
importance. The same set of dedicated designers and production experts work on
gold and silver rings. If you are interested in getting a sterling silver custom
cage ring, we would suggest to stay away from gold, rhodium, platinum or any
other plating. This is because all plating on silver jewelry is only temporary,
the plating will wear off after a while.
Gemstone choice: You do not have to restrict yourself to a small
collection of gemstones when ordering your cage ring. Preferential access to a
mind boggling range of 200 million carats of gems lets us fulfill all your
gemstone requirements. You can therefore think of a colorful gem stone cage
ring where, gems with different colors and included in a single ring. A subtle
color contrast effect can be had by, combining gems with slightly different
color tones. For example, pale blue topaz, medium blue topaz and deep blue
topaz can all be combined to create a blue toned gemstone cage ring. The
gemstone sizes and shapes can be cut specifically to suit the dimensions of
each cage ring. You could for example have a stunning valentines ring by
including heart shaped gems in the cage. Since we custom cut every single
gem stone, a combination of gem stone shapes and sizes can also be chosen
for your cage ring. Certain gem colors like blue, green and even black would
look awesome in yellow or white gold cage rings. However clear white gems like,
white topaz, white sapphire, danburite and white zircon are more popular in
yellow gold cage rings.
Flexible dimensions: This is the best part of a custom cage ring,
the dimensions can be made as per your preference. You might want to maintain
ring dimensions that are proportionate to your ring size. Remember that your
cage ring is built specifically for you, the ring size and dimensions can be
selected by you. If you decide to reduce the dimensions of your cage ring,
we will provide a finer grid construction, reduce gemstone sizes and alter
all dimensions to suit the overall appearance of the ring. If you like the
design of the RG231 cage ring but prefer to have a rather small cage portion
for the ring, we have some interesting options for you. Consider, choosing 1
single piece of gemstone (dome cut) inside the cage. We will custom cut the
gemstone to perfection and then cast the cage to perfectly fit the gemstone.
There are two dimensions that relate to the appearence of cage rings. The
first is the height of the cage, the second is the extent to which the cage
extends beyond the finger. You can discuss these with our team of experts,
they will make dimension suggestions depending on your ring size.

(a) The design concept of cage rings is very useful even for gems that are not very durable. Similarly, the cage ring is also suitable for people who do not take too much care of their jewels. The design gives good protection to the gemstones that are housed in the cage. This is true of cage rings with a single gemstone or with many gemstones. |
|
(b) You could use a cage ring as a fancy birth stone ring. The gem stones inside the cage could represent the birth stone of the person wearing the ring. It is also possible to include 2 birthstones in a single cage ring, the two gems could be cut to form a combined dome shape. If this is to be a family birthstone ring, combine few pieces of each of the birth stones to make a unique and classic birth stone cage ring. |
|
(c) The idea of combining gem stones in your gold or silver cage ring, can be used to create a gorgeous multi gem stone ring too. For example, include a few yellow citrine gems and a few red garnets in a cage ring. Pale blue topaz gems can also be combined with pink tourmaline to create an impressive multi gem stone ring. |
|
(d) As mentioned above, it is possible to get a custom cage ring with one single gem stone set in the cage. The gemstone can be specifically cut like a dome to fit within the cage. Turquoise, black onyx, blue lapis, malachite, citrine, topaz, rubelite and even diffused star sapphires are some gems that are suitable for such a cage ring. |
|
(e) Try to take advantage of the flexibility that we provide for all our jewelry. The height and width of the cage and even the shape of the cage can be altered to suit your preference. You could for example, choose to have the cage for your ring take a square or rectangular shape. The construction of the cage and the gap between the sections will be made proportionate to the cage dimensions that you choose. If you need dimensions that are small, our recommendation would be to set a single custom cut gem stone in the cage. |
|
(f) Combining the birthstones of a couple inside the cage adds more meaning to the ring. The cage then represents the world, the universe and the gemstones represent two individuals who have decided to spend the rest of their lives together. The symbolism of such rings is further maginified in cases where, the couple are physically separated by work or other commitments. |

The design concept of a cage ring can be applied to a men's cage ring too. In this case, the protection that the cage provides to the enclosed gemstone is of special significance. For men's cage rings, choose a single gemstone that is cut in an oval, round or rectangular shape. The gemstone need not be cut very high, and the cage would therefore not protrude too much beyond the finger. An impressive birthstone ring could be created by combining the birthstones of a couple (husband and wife) in a men's cage ring. The pricing would depend on the ring size, gemstone, and gemstone size. Write to us with details of your requirements and we will work out a specific price quote for you. |
