Ji Hwang designs jewelry with a fluid graceful line, like strokes of a painter's brush. Her pieces are often inspired by the natural world, abstracted into modern sculpture. Her work reveals nature's subtle aesthetic, capturing the beauty of its form, the simplicity of its design, and the vitality of its colors without embellishment. She often finds that by simplifying, she often can best reflect the essence of nature. A classically trained jewelry artist educated at Parsons School of Design and Pratt Institute in New York City, Ji's work is instantly recognizable to jewelry connoisseurs.

A peridot symbolizes grace under pressure. It is thought to bring its wearer good luck and success, while calming nerves and dispelling negative emotions. The most important aspect to consider when buying a period is its color. Gemvara's peridot is a bright spring-green without the olive tones that can dampen this gem's sweet color. The brighter the color, the more valuable the peridot is. Cut is important as well, even more than clarity, since a well-cut peridot will shines in the light of the sun. Peridot is among the "greenest" of gems in another way too, since most peridot is mined, often by hand, by Native Americans on the San Carlos Reservation in Arizona. Peridot is the August birthstone, the zodiac stone for Leo, and the 16th anniversary gem. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality peridot will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine peridot jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
