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.

Bring some inner peace to your life with a smoky quartz. Said to protect from danger and help soothe grief, this gemstone is often used in rosaries and crucifixes, but can be worn in any piece of jewelry. Quality is very important while shopping for a smoky quartz, and is determined mostly by color and cut. Smoky quartz has a beautiful cognac-color. This gem is sometimes incorrectly referred to as smoky topaz. Its rich, chocolate color adds earth-tone sophistication to any jewelry design. The more concentrated the chocolate-brown color, the more valuable the smoky quartz is. A smoky quartz will gleam in the light, so cut is also significant. Although most smoky quartz faceted for jewelry today is mined in Brazil, it is also the state gemstone of New Hampshire and the official gem of Scotland, an early source. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality smoky quartz will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine smoky quartz jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
