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!

(Princess Solitaire Stackable Ring // Princess Solitaire Stackable Ring (Black Diamond) // Searchlight Ring // Modern Heart Ring)
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 really love everything I saw! I was especially taken by the Inner Circle pendant, but would probably steer myself to earrings or stackable rings since I have so very many necklaces!!
I love the Abbey Collection five station necklace! All of the pieces are so beautiful! 🙂
I’ve been looking for an anniversary wedding band – love the stackable rings!
Everything is gorgeous, but I love this ring :
http://www.gemvara.com/jewelry/mothers-gift-ring-with-three-gems/round-blue-topaz-palladium-ring-with-aquamarine/ckwck
It says a mother’s ring, but it has my birthstone and my favorite colors. I don’t know though, it is all so beautiful. I also like the necklaces you have on in the first picture – the moon and star.
It’s so hard to choose just one or two items…everything is super cute! I would probably choose a bracelet – I do like the gemstones by the yard five stone bracelet.
Love the Princesscut Lotus ring!!
I have always been in love with blue topaz (that bright blue color gets me every time!). The Pear-Cut Halo Pendant is a gorgeous necklace, and I would love to customize it with a blue topaz center stone!
The Lilian Engagement Ring! Gah!!!!
Even though its more than the credit, Id have to say my favorite is the Rich & Thin Eternity Band. My fiance picked a yellow gold wedding band for our upcoming wedding and my ring is white gold, but I would love one that matches his and this looks perfect!
I love the infinity twist rings! So perfect!
Fell in love with the Plain Lovers Knot ring in rose gold. Simple, elegant, and a nice reminder of love since my boyfriend lives far away! 🙂
Beautiful jewelry! I loved the simple but sophisticated Gemstones by the Yard Stud Earrings with diamond and rose gold!
I would get an eternity band or wedding band for my fiance for our wedding next October!
Love the PAVE BY THE YARD CROSS NECKLACE with Aquamarine.
I love the martini pendant-so simple!
Lotus stud earrings! Absolutely stunning!!
So hard to pick just one item. I like this http://www.gemvara.com/jewelry/claddagh-ring/heart-blue-topaz-platinum-ring-with-diamond/kvvx
We are expecting our first baby in December so I would definitely get something with his birthstone!
I love the Rosette Pendant!
The abbey collection mens silver wedding band would be my pick and with my 10 year anniversary 3 weeks away this would be wonderful! I have been looking for a new wedding band for his traditional gift this year and this would be the perfect ring to give him.
I love the white gold forget me knot ring. I like the style, and I love that it’s engraveable!
I love the stackable rings!
The Adele ring is gorgeous! Amazing giveaway, thank you!
I love the infinity twist rings!
I love the colorful stackable rings!
Just started shopping for wedding bands! I love the orange blossom wreath ring and men’s satin finish bands.
I have started obsessing over rose gold the last couple years, but haven’t taken the plunge yet. The Ariadne Band in rose gold is SO BEAUTIFUL. I don’t typically wear much jewelry except for my wedding ring, but the Ariadne ring is so purely gorgeous, I would love it as a right-ring-finger staple.
Wow, what an awesome giveaway! My husband and I got married about 15 months ago, and after the wedding we found out that he has an allergic reaction to the material that his wedding ring is made out of (tungsten). He has been painting it with clear nail polish so he can continue wearing it without breaking out in a rash, I would love to be able to replace his ring with something like this: http://www.gemvara.com/jewelry/lineage-band-6mm-wide/mens-14k-white-gold-ring/j426y
That gemstones by the yard necklace! Gorgeous!
i love the pave by the yard cross necklace!! beautiful.
I love the Abbey Collection Five-Station Necklace! It’s gorgeous (and definitely out of my budget!) http://www.gemvara.com/jewelry/abbey-collection-fivestation-necklace/14k-yellow-gold-necklace-with-alexandrite–rock-crystal/xm33z
MOON AND STAR PENDANT
I love the round halo earrings!
I really like the necklace you designed, but I would go for the gemstones by the yard stud earrings in yellow gold with white sapphires.
I am engaged and need a wedding band so would get the Brilliant Pod Band! So dainty and pretty!
I like the heartbeat band
http://www.gemvara.com/jewelry/heartbeat-band/14k-white-gold-ring-with-diamond/rm

I’m obsessed with the Arya ring!
I’m in love with the two pieces (star and moon) in your post!
