You have to be hiding underneath a rock if you have never heard of the popular HBO series, Game of Thrones. The eight season show has captivated the Sunday nights of many. The Royals battle for the throne of the seven kingdoms with an exquisite taste of style. In true royalty fashion, many of the characters are wearing a ruby and diamond encrusted jewelry representing their house and role. Each family crest designed uniquely with precious metals and gemstones like Rubies, Gold, Diamonds, etc. You can tell these pieces of jewelry are classic and custom designed.

Whether you want to create a replica of the design worn by your favorite character or represent your favorite house, custom design whatever piece is right for you. You don’t have to be a super fan to have good taste.

Create a Replica

Which piece of jewelry stole your heart? Queen Daenery’s was as stylish as they come with her jewelry selection. From the big Westerosi rings to her exciting decolletage selection, she had a plethora of favorable pieces to choose from. Or you favor more of a Lady Sansa’s jewelry, and its simplicity and elegance. Her “brother” Jon Snow was also no stranger to shining in style himself. His encrusted wolf sword-handle to his coat brooches, his swag was unique, subtle, yet powerful. The point is there is something for every style and personality. Choosing your replica is more about you than the actual character who wore it first. Your connection to the replica is priceless not just to the character.

Represents Your House

Each kingdom and family had their own unique family crest and what they stood for. They centered most designs around the characters environment and their “spirit animals”. So, what represents your family? Design a custom family crest and start a family tradition destined for the honor. Create a piece of jewelry that represents the future path you hope to see your family continue on. A symbol that reminds each of you where you come from. A family heirloom that will last for years to come.

Choosing the perfect engagement ring is so much more than the size of the diamond. Often the diamond’s carat size, cut and clairty is usually the first part of the engagement ring discussion. While this a big piece of the ring, the diamond isn’t the main priority to the design.

An Engagement ring is the first piece to a bridal setting worn daily.  The ring symbolizes the love you two share, and that also means the strength of your bond. Knowing your partner is key to creating the design of the ring. It is essential to take into account their daily lives and the wear and tear that will bring.

What They Don’t Tell You

Many Engagement rings come with small intricate details we don’t recognize at first glance, like a double row of diamonds around the band. We often overlook the maintenance of these engagement rings because we are instantaneously mesmerized by the extravagant sparkle of the ring.  Upon a closer look, you see the attention to detail and actual setting of the ring. While these are sparkling beauties and an option for some, they may not be the ideal setting for an active lifestyle. Knowing this before purchasing the ring may help you prevent future costly and devastating damages. If you choose this style, know it will require much more safekeeping by taking it off for certain occasions or activities, which is a good practice for all jewelry.

Low Maintenance Can Still be Pretty

Creating your engagement ring is to be low maintenance doesn’t mean it won‘t shine just as bright as the others. In fact, many favor one diamond versus several. Paying attention to the ring’s prongs and is it capable of holding the stone you desire safe?  Is the band durable enough to withstand daily wear and tear of your profession? Are you good about taking off your jewelry ahead of taking part in an activity like the gym? These are all great question to include in your design on the perfect engagement ring. If you answered No, it might be wise to shoot for beauty and durability. A traditional engagement ring like a Cushion Solitaire Engagement ring is better suitable for an active lifestyle. While this is a piece we would consider being low maintenance, it is still gorgeous eye-candy. You could also engrave the band to add sparkle and more creativity.

Selling your jewelry is more common now than ever, but it is still a tough choice to make. These were items you once cherished and though you may be ready to part ways with the old jewelry, knowing where to start is important.

Let’s take a look at a few helpful tips to help you sell your jewelry

1. Research and Be Informed: Knowing how eager you are to sell your jewelry is the first question you want to ask yourself when starting this process. If you are looking to get instant cash today, your options may be limited and you run the risk of not receiving the true value after selling it.  Pawn shops are the number one place to receive same day cash on all jewelry but don’t be so quick to sell to the first buyer. Shop around to see which one will give you top dollar. If you are willing to take your time and want top value for your jewelry, have a couple of better options.
2. Know The  Worth: While it is best to rely on the expertise of a jeweler you can trust, you should also educate yourself on the real value your item may hold. Getting your item appraised may sound ridiculous before selling the item but it actually will give you an exact value for your piece of jewelry. A jewelry appraisal provides good information about the sale and business facts and not the emotional value of your piece.
3. Be Realistic: While you may preset a dollar amount in your heart and mind, the dollar value of the item depends on the item being presented by itself. It all boils down to the amount listed once appraised, not the emotional connection you hold with the item. This is usually where some buyers might want to re-evaluate their sale. You can speak with your jeweler about gaining more value by resetting the item. The money spent may just be an investment you will get a higher return for win the long run. If that doesn’t work you may opt to pass down the item to a loved one as an emotional heirloom.

When it comes to your engagement ring, there are some critical things you should and should not do to take care of your prized possession. Your engagement ring is one of the single most important pieces of jewelry you will ever wear, and it is important to take care of it properly in order for it to truly last a lifetime. Regardless of the gemstone type, metal color or style your engagement ring is, there are some common practices you will want to put into place to keep your ring looking bright, shiny and as good as new. Here is a quick guide on how to care for your engagement ring.

• Keep your ring nice and clean.
  First, make sure you properly clean your ring. The best way to get your engagement ring cleaned is taking it to a professional jeweler that has the equipment. It is also important to remember to take your ring off before working with strong agents such as bleach or cleaning products. That goes for anything else that is hard or dirty on your hands as well, such as gardening or even camping. These simple practices will extend the life of your engagement ring and keep the diamond or other gemstones vibrant.

• Try not to touch your ring’s center gemstone often.
  Next, and maybe something that you don’t often think about, try not to frequently touch the center stone. By touching the center stone, you are transferring oils from your hand, dirt and more to the stone, making the stone appear less bright. Dust and particles can get stuck under the diamond itself as well.

• Store your ring someplace safe.
  A large part of taking care of your ring is proper storage as well. Storing your engagement ring in a safe place will ensure that nothing happens to it, it doesn’t get lost or it doesn’t get scratched. Having a designated jewelry box or small try or dish to put your ring in will make sure that it is safe and sound. Another important consideration is that if you have an engagement ring that has a diamond, it can scratch your other jewelry. It is a good idea not to just toss your engagement ring in loose with a jewelry box filled with other jewelry.

• Take advantage of inspections.
  A highly recommended practice is to also have a professional jeweler conduct an inspection on the engagement ring a couple of times a year. A jeweler will be able to tell if there is anything that needs to be fixed or attended to after you have been wearing the engagement ring every day. Jewelers can take scratches out, shine it up and give you options for your ring’s maintenance. It is also a great idea to get your ring insured with your jeweler. Adding an insurance plan to your engagement ring can ensure that it will be attended to and that you will never have a large, upfront expense with it in the future.

At Master Jewelers, we take our ring care and quality very seriously. We know that an engagement ring is one of the most important things you will ever wear, and it is a piece of jewelry you want to last for generations to come. Following these simple tips and practices can help extend the life of your engagement ring, and we can help. Stop by our showroom for professional cleaning and a full inspection of your ring.
