Master craftsman and world traveler, Gary Stucchi designs unique pieces that you can treasure for a lifetime and share with future generations. The leading custom jeweler in Natick, Massachusetts, he has been designing and making jewelry since he was 10 years old: after making a pendant with his older brother, he knew he had found his calling. Recently he was commissioned by Wellesley College to create a custom pin for Madeleine Albright, noted jewelry collector. Gary designed an intricate, dimensional globe pin that represents the former Secretary of State's mastery of international diplomacy. Gary is also known for his popular "A Mother's Gift" collection of elegant stackable mother's rings. "It always seems that the simplest designs resonate with people," he says. "My inspiration is looking at what's not there: the blank canvas or the clear mind, where true creativity is born."

With a little care, your fine jewelry will keep its good looks forever. The best way to clean your jewelry is by soaking it in a bowl of warm water with a few drops of ordinary dish detergent. If needed, use a soft brush where dust and soap can collect. Then just rinse and pat dry with a soft cloth.

You won't have to clean your jewelry as often if you put it on after applying hairspray, perfume, and cosmetics. Be sure to remove your jewelry before strenuous activities like sports. Keep jewelry away from chlorine and other household chemicals. Always make sure it is dry and clean by wiping with a cloth before putting it away.

To protect the beauty of your jewelry, don't keep it in a tangle in a jewelry box. Remember, gems can scratch metal or each other. When you travel, make sure your jewelry pieces don't rub against each other in your bag. Store each piece separately or wrap each one in tissue paper or a soft cloth.

We want you to love your Gemvara jewelry, so we offer a 101-day no-questions-asked return policy. If you aren't satisfied with your unique Gemvara jewelry creation for any reason, you can send it back in its original unworn condition for a full refund. Each returned piece must have its original tag attached, so leave the tag on until you are sure you love it. If you love it but it doesn't fit, no problem: we offer one free resizing as well.

We stand behind our exceptional American-made quality with a one-year warranty on the craftsmanship of our jewelry. Because the earth is precious too, we make our jewelry from conflict-free gems and recycled precious metals.
