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
