Jeet Palavwala designs sophisticated dimensional jewelry that is like sculpture in precious metal and gems. His stunning lotus ring was the winner of our first international design competition. Although Jeet is from Surat, India, the city where most of the world's diamonds are cut and polished, he began his career designing machine tools. Before long he began using technology to design jewelry instead, naming his jewelry design studio Neviell. By combining his love of art with his a strong technical background, Jeet discovered that creating jewelry was his passion, or as he describes it, his "destiny." Always challenging his mind to think in new ways, he enjoys bringing new jewelry design ideas to life each day.

Garnet is the traveler's gem for it protects you when you are far from home. Early travelers used garnets as talismans to light up the night and keep away evil. A garnet's color is the most important factor when purchasing this gem: it should be intense and vivid. A well-cut garnet is also important because the right cut will maximize the color and well as allow the garnet to sparkle with light. Gemvara carries two varieties of garnets: affordable red garnets from Mozambique, which have an earthy red-ocher color, and rhodolite garnets, which have a rich raspberry color. Garnet is the birthstone for January, the 2nd anniversary gem, and the zodiac gem for Aquarius. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality garnet will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine garnet jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
