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!

(Princess Solitaire Stackable Ring // Princess Solitaire Stackable Ring (Black Diamond) // Searchlight Ring // Modern Heart Ring)
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 Cora Ring is STUNNING!!!!
I love the “Gemstones By The Yard 3-Stone Necklace.” I would choose either a gold or rose gold chain, with black diamond stones. SO pretty! http://www.gemvara.com/jewelry/gemstones-by-the-yard-3stone-necklace/round-black-diamond-14k-rose-gold-necklace-with-black-diamond/w2nxj
I love the inner circle necklace! So beautiful.

I’m so loving the Gemstones By the Yard Stacking Ring Sets in rose gold. Thanks for the opportunity!
This may be a cop out, but I’m definitely going to pick the Satin Finish Rise Band that you bought for Ryan. My husband’s wedding ring is too large and can’t be resized because it’s Tungsten. We’ve been meaning to replace it, but haven’t gotten around to it. It would be so nice to surprise him with something nice for our first wedding anniversary next month!
I absolutely love the Mothers Gift Ring!
Pave by the Yard Heart is so pretty!
oh my gosh i would LOVE to win this giveaway. i would love to design some pieces for my sister, mum, and grandma as presents, and i would pick this for myself: http://www.gemvara.com/jewelry/gemstones-by-the-yard-solitaire-necklace-5mm-gem/round-aquamarine-sterling-silver-necklace/t9grv
but with rose quartz and rose gold
I love the Gemstones by the Yard stacking ring set. I’d get it in white gold. I’ve played around with different combinations of blue stones, green stones, and purple stones, and it’s so neat to see it on the model’s hand as soon as you design it! Very cool.

I love the Brilliant Infinity Twist Band. I would do it with my husband and I’s birthstones.
What an amazing giveaway! I would choose the Pure Pave Pendant with an Peridot accent stone. Since it also includes diamonds it would symbolize both my daughters (their birth stones).
I love stacking rings. I would love to have the written in the stars ring, forget me knot ring, and slim pave band.
I LOVE everything! I love the long necklaces and also the stackable rings! There are so many options on the site! The possibilites are endless! Loving this giveaway 🙂
The searchlight ring is stunning! I love colorful jewelry, I had no idea a company like this existed!
