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.)

Good luck!!!

I didn’t get a chance to say before but congratulations on buying your first home! That is so insanely exciting! Just the thought of owning my own home makes me happy so I can only imagine how cool it must be to actually be experience it! I know I probably can’t enter the giveaway not being from the States but I adore the love disk bracelet so much I am going to try and get it anyway! I had my favourite bracelet that was given to me by my parents stolen recently and this seems like the perfect replacement!

I would definitely choose the Gemstones by the Yard Stackable Ring Set. I’ve already played around with the band and gemstones. I have been wanting a gemstone piece of jewelry for a while now and think this would be perfect! Thank you for sharing the site!

I love the Abbey Collection Five-Station Necklace! http://www.gemvara.com/jewelry/abbey-collection-fivestation-necklace/14k-yellow-gold-pendant-with-black-onyx-and-rock-crystal/y8y5g. What a great company, thanks for putting it on my radar!
I love the rich and thin eternity band…I’m not sure I could ever decide on a metal/stone combination!
I absolutely ADORE the Grace Ring with the Red Garnet stone! As strange as it may sound, maroon is by far my favorite color. All of my h.s./college athletic uniforms were maroon and it reminds me of all of the good/not so good/hilarious/stressful/happy memories. I would love to wear it every day 🙂

Oh how do you pick just one to love! However, the “Infinite Love Ring” caught my eye. I love that there is a men’s version to match. Perfect for my anniversary coming up in 2 weeks. 17 years .)
Thanks for the chance to win!

We will be celebrating our 30 year wedding anniversary in October. Since my husband literally had to cut his wedding band off with needle nose pliers a few years ago (he outgrew it :), I thought the 14K Yellow Gold Rise Band would be the perfect replacement!
Happy almost anniversary! 30 years is definitely something to celebrate!
I love your idea of a ring for your husband. The same thing happened to us, although it’s been much longer since it happened. He lost his ring and insisted on a cheaper christian bookstore ring. 🙂
I love the Men’s Satin Finish Iconic Band in Palladium. That would be such a wonderful gift to give him after not having a nice ring for so long!
Super excited about this! Hope I’m the random one!!
I wish I had known about this site when I was designing my wedding band! The nine-gem band ring with diamonds and sapphires would have been perfect, and affordable!
I would luv a bracelet. Everything looks amazing.
I love the 5 stone bracelet. Thanks for a fun giveaway!
