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!!!

The delicate stackable rings were gorgeous!
i like the by the Yard collection from Gemvara
OMG! All of those pieces are absolutely gorgeous! But since I’m going to nerd out here, I absolutely LOVE the Moon & Star Pendant because of my minor obsession with Sailor Moon. 🙂 I chose to customize mine on the website, all in Rose Gold (because I’m obsessed with that too…) and a diamond as my Accent Stone because it’s my birth stone. I LOVE the creation… I may have to get it regardless!!
I would probably by the yellow gold classic comfort fit band (6mm) for my fiance, he wants a wedding band that looks like the “one ring”!
I would get a wedding band for my fiancé… The ones he’s picked out so far look a lot like the one you got for Ryan!
i LOVE the Brilliant Infinity Bracelet. Love that I could add my birthstone or the birthstone of my boyfriend.
I love the Inner circle necklace!
The simple pendant necklaces are my favorite. So classic. This is unreal!
Love the GEMSTONES BY THE YARD STUD EARRINGS. So pretty!
I LOVE the inner circle pendant.
I love the Candace ring!
Love the Timeless Knot Pendant!
Wow- I’ve never heard of this site before but found some many things that I liked. I really like the Forget Me Knot rings. I love the simplicity of it. What a great giveaway!
I love the gemstones by the yard accent drop earrings – so pretty!
I love the Searchlight Ring!
Their pieces are BEAUTIFUL!!! I’m loving the Brilliant Infinity Bracelet. I think I would get the pink tourmaline for October, since that is when my hubby and I were married. I’ve also been on the hunt for a very basic ring I can wear daily. I would love the Forget Me Not ring.
I LOVE the rich & thin stackable rings! 🙂
Love the Gemstones by the Yard Solitaire Necklace with ruby (my birthstone)!! 🙂
I love those halo earrings!!
I love the stackable rings, but I have also been looking for a new pair of really high quality stud earrings….this would be the perfect opportunity!
I would choose the Adele ring–it is exactly like my engagement ring that I lost and we haven’t been able to afford to replace.
I love the gemstones by the yard solitaire necklace–very simple and pretty!
I love the Claddagh rings. I have one now, but a few of the small stones have fallen out, and since it was pretty cheap to begin with it is looking a little worse for the wear.
Thanks so much for sharing the Gemvara site! The rings are absolutely adorable. I’d have to say the constellation band is my favorite!
What a great giveaway, Julie!! The gemstones by the yard stacking rings are GORGEOUS!
I think I like the stackable rings or cross bracelet the best. They have some really cute stuff! Glad you were able to get Ryan a new ring!
I love the Yard Stacing rings, so fun for different birthstones of loved ones!
I love rings and chose the Elena Ring with emerald, tanzanite, and pink tourmaline. Beautiful!
Everything is so beautiful, but I really love the Infinity Twist Pendant. Gorgeous!
I love the Mother’s Gift Ring with one stone. I’ve been wanting to get a ring with my birth stone, so this would be ideal 🙂
I know my fiancee wants a ring like the Rich & Thin wedding band, but we can’t afford it. I would love to be able to get it for her!
Oh my!!!! I love all the jewelry on Gemvara!!! If I had to pick a favorite it would be the emerald cut Carrie ring.
My husband did the same thing as yours, he lost his wedding band and bought a cheap replacement. I would buy the spectrum band as a nice replacement/upgrade.
I think the Pure Double Earrings with Black Onyx are stunning!
I am getting married in March and I went straight to the wedding bands! The rich and thin band for me and the lineage band in platinum for my husband to be.
What an awesome giveaway! Thank you for this amazing opportunity! I really liked the Gemstones By The Yard Solitaire Necklace. I would get it in my daughters birthstone!
I have wanted diamond studs for a while, I love the Round-cut Halo Earrings, so pretty!
In love with the Gemstones By The Yard Stud Earrings (4mm gems). Perfect for small ears like mine 🙂
That is some seriously beautiful jewelry. I will admit I got stuck playing with some of the engagement styles, but it would be presumptuous to choose one of those as a favorite. 🙂
I’m loving the Brilliant Double Rolling ring.
So pretty!
Thanks for sharing this website, it’s great!
Gemstone by the yard solitaire necklace! Simple & gorgeous.
Love the wishbone charm! Its too sweet.

I loooove the GEMSTONES BY THE YARD SOLITAIRE NECKLACE – so perfect for every day wear!
I have been looking for a necklace exactly like the Gemstones By The Yard Solitaire Necklace which is actually included in your post. I’m always looking for a cute gold necklace with a gemstone that will go with everything and is a perfect accessory to all my fun printed dresses that don’t need much more to dress them up! This site is great!!
I really like all of the white sapphire & diamond earrings… those brilliant infinity earrings are gorgeous!!
I would probably splurge and get the Cosmic Illusion bracelet. I’ve been looking at similar ones in my local jewelry store. Love it…..
I love the Alhambra ring! What a neat concept.
