Anniversary Gift Ideas: Three Stone Ruby Jewelry by Carl Ansley

At Gemvara, we believe that the jewelry you wear should be one of a kind, like you. That's why we make each piece to order, one at a time, just the way you want it.

It's jewelry for all life's occasions, from a wedding or birthday to your own personal milestones and celebrations. We have great anniversary ideas with a personal touch that will make this an anniversary she'll always remember. Gemvara uses only the highest quality materials to craft your three stone ruby jewelry design with meticulous attention to detail. Our precious metals are recycled or responsibly mined. Ruby quickens the pulse with its vivid red hue. Our wide selection of three stone ruby jewelry by Tony Rodrigues, David West, Martha Gomez Gutierrez, and other talented designers means you can find jewelry that's exactly your style. You can also shop by style, choosing our Religious, Geometric, or Our Picks Collections. Three-stone jewelry designs have the added symbolism of past, present and future. Or add birthstones to represent your family. Gemvara's fine quality three stone ruby jewelry is designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

While designer Carl Ansley is inspired by the natural world, you'll see it most in the line and proportion of his modern pieces rather than in traditional motifs. Throughout his 22 year-career, which began at Tiffany & Co., Carl has developed a deep appreciation for the artistic process behind creating gorgeous, eye-catching jewelry. Form follows function but doesn't overwhelm it. For example, because rings can twist on the finger, he creates a natural curve high on a ring's shoulders so it will rest comfortably on the finger next to it. He takes great care to create jewelry that makes a bold statement in order to express a woman's own style and personality. Carl says the greatest accomplishment of his long career is designing and crafting his wife's diamond engagement ring and wedding band. It's just what you'd expect from a designer who thinks first of the woman who will wear his jewelry.

Known as the gem of courage and passion, a ruby is not for the timid. Its bold hue entices the eye and hastens the pulse. When buying a ruby, the most important element to consider is color. Pure, vivid fire-engine-red rubies are the most valuable. Cut and clarity also factor into value. The larger the carat weight, the more the ruby will cost per carat. Gemvara only sells premium, hand-selected rubies from Burma, where they are natural and have an exceptional quality. Gemvara supports the Burma import ban and offers only rubies from inventories in the United States. A fine-colored ruby is so desirable that producers take extra care to make sure that the ruby has the best hue possible. Before their final polish, most rubies are heat-enhanced to almost 2,000 degrees in order to improve the color and clarity. This stable treatment does not require special care and does not reduce the gem's value. Ruby is the July birthstone, the 15th and 40th anniversary gem, and the zodiac gem for the sign of Cancer. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality ruby will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine ruby jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
