A couple of weeks ago, I received an email from Gemvara offering me the opportunity to host a $1,000 giveaway. Yep, one PBF reader will win a $1,000 credit to Gemvara, a company that offers handcrafted, customizable jewelry featuring more than 20 different natural gemstones and nine precious metals. Awesome, right!?
(Delicate Star Pendant // Moon and Star Pendant)
Gemvara allows you to completely customize everything from rings and necklaces to bracelets and charms. And the entire customization process is a breeze!
Step one: Select any button from the drop down menu.
Step two: Select the specific piece of jewelry you’d like to customize. (This is the Gemstones By The Yard Solitaire Necklace in rose gold with a rose quartz 6.5mm gem.)
Step three: Select the gemstone and metal of your choice. Easy peasy! (I changed the necklace to have a 14K yellow gold chain and a white sapphire gem.)
Gemvara sent me a few loaner pieces to showcase and I had fun wearing them out and about to brunch last weekend!

In exchange for hosting this giveaway, Gemvara was kind enough to offer me the opportunity to create my own piece of jewelry and I decided to use the credit to create a replacement wedding band as a surprise for Ryan!
As you may remember, Ryan lost his wedding ring in the lake when we were swimming last month and immediately ordered himself a $30 replacement ring, telling me he didn’t need a nice replacement. I always knew I wanted to replace his ring so he could have a nice ring to wear on his ring finger again, so this seemed like the perfect chance to surprise him with a ring that I tried my best to make look like his original wedding band.
I selected the satin finish rise band and when I gave it to Ryan, he was shocked and incredibly excited. We both absolutely love the band. It shipped super fast and I felt comfortable taking a chance on the sizing since I knew I had 101 days to return the ring for free. (FYI, Gemvara’s 101 day return policy also applies to engraved jewelry.)
Now here is your chance to win a $1,000 credit to Gemvara so you can customize a piece of jewelry or select one the stunning pieces of jewelry Gemvara has on their site already!
Gemstones By The Yard Solitaire Necklace // Rich & Thin Band // Infinity Gem Disc Charm // Gemstones By The Yard Stacking Ring Set // Halo Earrings // Pave By the Yard Cross Bracelet
To enter this giveaway, simply follow the following steps:
1) Simply visit Gemvara and enter your email
2) Browse around and pick out your favorite piece
3) Leave a comment on this post with the name of the piece that caught your eye! (This does not need to be the same piece you select if you win the giveaway.)
I will randomly select a giveaway winner on Monday.
Good luck!!!

I’m getting married next May so I would definitely use this to pay towards our wedding bands! I’d get the Classic Comfort Fit Band in white gold for him, and the Raquel Band in white gold with white sapphires for me.
This is a great giveaway! It’s hard to pick. I just had a baby so a little initial necklace or something with her birthstone would be sweet. I like that a lot of the pieces would be really simple and undestated vs. other similar things.
Round cut halo pendant! Mmmmm, diamonds 🙂
Love the Gemstones by the Yard necklace, it’s so adorable!!
I like the Gemstones by the yard double drop earrings.

I love the triple linked hearts pendant and the triple twist pendant necklaces. 🙂 Honestly I love EVERYTHING on this site! Thanks for sharing the site info!
If money were no object, I would get the pear shaped pendant. However, since I don’t have 20 grand sitting around I think I would go with the gemstones by the yard bracelet in aquamarine and white gold.
heart beat band in emerad!
I love the forget me knot ring, simply beautiful
I’m getting married next year, and this would be a great site to purchase our wedding bands. I really just like the simple ones without any stones.
Bracelets are one thing I don’t seem to really have of so I’m definitely thinking a bracelet….and I love the Mercury bangle! It would be a piece that’d be easy enough to wear everyday but would still stand out!
There’s so many beautiful options! I’d love to win and would probably create a birthstone ring for my daughter!
My favorite is the heartbeat band! Its cute and simple and can be stacked with different styles.
I like the Initials “key” necklace. The jewelry is beautiful!
I like the thin stackable rings… One with sapphires, for my baby due in September!
Oh my gosh! The BF and I would live that much money to help offset the cost of an engagement ring (grad school incomes are not conducive to diamond shopping) the a Emerald Isle ring is gorgeous!
The flowering pearl ring is beautiful! I just love how classic it is:)
I like the stackable classic rings! I just got married and think it would be fun to have a one year anniversary right hand ring!
I love the timeless diamond studs http://www.gemvara.com/jewelry/roundcut-stud-earrings-4mm-gems/round-diamond-14k-white-gold-earring/y8p0x
Holy cow this is such a nice giveaway! I love the gemstones by the yard 5-stone pendant!
I love the gemstones by the yard earrings! Beautiful!
I love the gemstones by the yard, 3 stone necklace!
Wrap or Labyrinth Rings are rather fabulous. Also the super thin stackable rings are really nice…
The Penelope Ring Engagement Ring is lovely. I’ve always said I would love a unique engagement ring unlike anything else and this website can make that happen! I just can’t decide if I like it all as one diamond or if a beautiful blue sapphire would look the best as the centre stone. Good thing for the 101 return shipping!
What an amazing giveaway! I’ve been searching for a simple necklace I can wear everyday and there are so many great options to choose from. I love the gemstones by the yard solitaire necklace with yellow gold and diamond.
I love the Pave by the Yard heart bracelet!
love the wrap ring!
I love the birds of a feather pendant! I love how you can customize the colors
I really like the Gemstones by the Yard 5-stone necklace- a nice splash of color still with simplicity!
I love the twine band ring!!
The cushion earrings or the Zoe band 🙂
I love the lucky horse shoe necklace!
Wow!! I could spend days on that website. So beautiful! My favourite are the *brilliant infinity earrings*-they are delicate and understated, but draw your attention in the best way!
I love the interlocking circle earrings in silver/rose gold
The flowering pearl ring is so gorgeous and reminds me of a ring my mom owns.
There are so many pretty things to choose from, but I would go for the Abbey Collection Mixed Double Earrings in onyx. This is an awesome giveaway!!
I love the Seed & Pod Eternity Band! So pretty!
I think I’d choose the Pave Pendant necklace!
I love the jewelery on the Gemvara site! I love all of the earrings. It would be hard to choose just one item! 🙂
I loved the Wisteria Pendant!

I love the infinity necklace and stackable rings!
What an amazing giveaway! I’m obsessed with the Grace ring! It’s vintage look is spot-on!
I love the gem initial pendant necklace. I would get the letter “B” for my son.
I absolutely LOVE your cross necklace, and have been looking for a similar one. If I won this giveaway, I’d definitely use it to get the “Pave by the Yard Cross Necklace.” http://www.gemvara.com/jewelry/pave-by-the-yard-cross-necklace/14k-rose-gold-necklace-with-diamond/tdc3j
I had a daughter last month and my husband surprised me with a ruby (July birthstone) necklace at the hospital. I would want a bracelet or earrings to match! I liked the infinity bracelet with ruby accent stones!

My husband didn’t lose his wedding ring, but he is unhappy with it because he gets a blood blister every time he’s working with his hands. Like Ryan, he doesn’t think it’s worth the expense to get a good replacement, but I’d LOVE to surprise him with a new one. My favorite is the Rounded Edge Comfort Fit Band (4.5 mm) in palladium. I’m sure he’d be as happy as Ryan was with a new one!
I love the möbius band
Ooh I love the cluster knot earrings, with london blue topaz gems set in white gold!
I like the pave by the yard heart bracelet. They have some beautiful prices!
I would choose the inner circle pendant and have the birthstone of our first baby as the stone color. It will either by November or December!!
