Paul Bierker is a chameleon who enjoys creating jewelry pieces in different styles. But all his jewelry designs have a flair for geometry and a bold presence. Each piece contains contrasting elements that add complexity. While he enjoys the creativity of jewelry design, Paul feels that each piece requires engineering too. Each of his pieces is built to last, with form following function. The integrity of each of his designs appeals to women who appreciate simple statements and clean lines.

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.
