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!!!

The Grace Ring is my dream wedding ring….
I love it all but if I have to choose just one I would say the Princess stacking ring set.
I would probably go for the mercury bangle in my birthstone – ruby!
I like the classic stackables I also love the simplicity of the martini pendant
I like the stack-able rings!
Wow! So much on their site that I love. I’ve been wanting some stackable rings, and I love theirs!
This probably sounds crazy to say… but I would take the $1,000 and give it to my boyfriend towards an engagement ring! 😉 haha
small circle pendant necklace
I LOVE the birds of a feather pendant
I love the Inner Circle Necklace, but really all of their pieces are stunning!
Love the Birds of a Feather Pendant in rose gold!
The lotus ring and the Melissa ring. I LOVE! This site is right up my alley!

….I love this 3 stone ring! I’ve been wanting a ruby birthstone ring for awhile, but rubies aren’t as popular to find!
I love the double embrace ring! I would put my children’s birthstones in it
I love the gemstones by the yard 5-stone necklace!
Love all rose gold! http://www.gemvara.com/jewelry/oval-cut-solitaire-pendant-with-accent-11mm-gem/oval-rose-quartz-14k-rose-gold-necklace-with-diamond/hfz5s
I played around and created a rose gold By the Yard 5 Stone Bracelet with a Rock Crystal center stone, London Blue Topaz, and Aquamarine accent stones…it looked beautiful 🙂
What an amazing giveaway! I am absolutely obsessed with the Slim Pave Band!
I love the love letter necklace in ‘j’ in rosegold.
the moon and star necklace or the double knot ring are my top two favorites
I would get the alondra eternity band. When my husband and I got married we didn’t have a lot of money and couldn’t afford a wedding band for me. Since our wedding I have just been wearing my engagement ring. I’d love for a chance to finally get a wedding band!
Loving the small circle pendant!!!
I loved the Moon and Star pennant! So cute!

Everlasting knot ring. I lost my wedding ring 2 years ago and need a replacement! 🙁
I would LOVE to win this giveaway! I would choose the Infinity Bracelet and give it to someone who is very special to me that will be moving out of the country in a few months. This would be such a sweet and heartfelt gift.

I always thought it would be awesome to have a ring with my husbands birthstone. I would probably get the Gemstones by the Yard stackable ring set and include both of our birthstones. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love the gemstone by the yard solitaire necklace! I would love it in white sapphire
I like the cosmic illusion bracelet with rose gold & diamonds
Love the cascading gemstone pendant!
ohhh my!! these are absolutely stunning! I wouldn’t choose a piece for myself, I’d give mine to my Mom who recently had a double masectomy for breast cancer. This happened right after her mother (my grandma passed from cancer 2 months prior). I would pick out the pink sapphire stone to put in whatever piece of jewelry she preferred to show the strength of her “power of pink”. This would be so amazing to win 🙂
I love dainty jewelry! So I absolute love the Gemstones By The Yard Solitaire Necklace with the gem!
I love the GEMSTONES BY THE YARD SOLITAIRE NECKLACE in rose gold!
http://www.gemvara.com/jewelry/gemstones-by-the-yard-solitaire-necklace-6-5mm-gem/round-rose-quartz-14k-rose-gold-necklace/t9h80
This site is great! I have never heard of Gemvara and though I happen to be in the market for a Sapphire ring (I will be back on the site for that indeed!), the birthstone collections caught my eye. I love the Pear Cut Halo Earrings in Emerald with yellow gold. Classic and beautiful!
The Megan Ring is gorgeous! http://www.gemvara.com/jewelry/megan-ring/round-red-garnet-14k-white-gold-ring-with-diamond/2dz1j
The Gemstones By The Yard stacking ring set is so cute, and the customization options are great!
What a great giveaway, and SO generous! I love the Birds of a Feather Earring in rose gold – so delicate and pretty!
Love the Brilliant Infinity Bracelet – rose gold, white sapphire.
I would love the rich and thin band I get married next year and its the perfect match to my engagement ring!!
I would absolutely love to give my mom the Mother’s Gift ring with two gems before I go away for college
Love love love the GEMSTONES BY THE YARD 5-STONE NECKLACE!!!
I really like the Delicate Flower Pendant. http://www.gemvara.com/jewelry/delicate-flower-pendant/round-pink-sapphire-sterling-silver-necklace-with-sapphire/h1hd4
It’s so much fun being able to mix and match the gemstones!
All the jewelry is beautiful! I especially love the Megan Ring!
I’m in law school and my best friend/roommate from college got engaged a few weeks ago. I wanted to get her something special for her engagement, but it’s hard with a student budget! I think this could be the perfect opportunity to custom order something that has meaning to both of us (maybe a bracelet with our college address engraved inside)
I LOVE the gemstones by the yard five-stone bracelet! It’s so cute!! I’m a Taurus, so the emerald would probably look awesome!
