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

I love the Gemstone by the Yard Solitaire Necklace in rose gold with the rose quartz gem!
What an amazing giveaway! I got engaged in April and as the wedding planning has progressed, purchasing our wedding bands is part of our to-do list! I love the Courtney band; the diamonds are the perfect touch and having the ability to customize is so exciting. The fact that we could also get matching bands through the site is so awesome, too!
My husband lost his ring earlier this year, but we haven’t been able to replace it, since we just had our second kiddo. I LOVE the ring you chose for Ryan…I would love to get the same one for my hubby!
I visited the Gemvara site and signed up. If I win this WONDERFUL GIVEAWAY…I’d get the Megan Ring with the Rose Quartz stone. Although I’m not yet married, I’d get this engagement ring. That way, my future fiance would have one less thing to have to purchase. Consider it a “gift” to him… I’d give him the ring when I knew we were serious enough and after talking about marriage. I’d then tell him he had the “ring of my dreams” and when he was ready, he could propose when he’d want to. So, the proposal would still be a surprise, he wouldn’t have to spend a chunk of money on the ring or sweat or stress over which ring I’d like. He’d already have it! once he was ready to propose. 🙂
I like the delicate flower necklace.
I love love love the Poseidon Band in Rose Gold. That would make the perfect right hand ring!
I love the Mother’s Give Ring with 3 gems – it would be a perfect gift!
I love the gemstones by the yard stacking ring set! This is such a fun giveaway!
