Judy Evans is an internationally recognized jewelry designer with more than 17 national and international design awards, from De Beers Diamonds International to the AGTA Spectrum Award and the Johnson Matthey Platinum Design Competition. You may have seen her work in the collections of major brands. Her style is recognizable, but not predictable, with feminine curves and breathtaking dimension. "Design should evolve, not simply follow trends," she says. "My work has been dedicated to showing there is no limit to creativity. Why interpret another's style when you can stand apart with your own?" Her designs are lovely from every angle, with details and surprises that you'll enjoy every time you look closely at one of her pieces. The hand-painted renderings she creates of each design concept are as beautiful as the jewelry they so evocatively bring to life.

The gem of peace and sobriety, the name "amethyst" comes from a Greek the word meaning "not drunken." According to the ancient Greeks, this wine-colored gem had the power to keep you sober. Amethyst is often used in religious settings as a symbol of piety and celibacy. Tibetan Buddhists meditate using amethyst rosaries to calm the mind and Bishop's rings often feature an amethyst. Color is the most important element in amethyst quality: the more vibrant and bright the lavender purple hue, the more valuable the amethyst. Gemvara's amethyst is a rich purple that complements both warm and cool colors. A well-cut amethyst is also important because the right cut will maximize the color and well as allow the amethyst to sparkle in the light. Amethyst is the February birthstone and the 6th and 17th anniversary gem. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality amethyst will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine amethyst jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
