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. Choose emerald and yellow gold or amethyst and platinum: it's your choice. Mix and match gems and precious metals for a look that's exactly you. It's jewelry for all life's occasions, from a wedding or Valentine's Day to your own personal milestones and celebrations. A brilliant birthday jewelry gift with a personal touch will make this a celebration to remember. Gemvara uses only the highest quality materials to craft your sterling silver fire opal jewelry design with meticulous attention to detail. Our precious metals are recycled or responsibly mined. Fire opal glows with the fire or ancient volcanoes. Sterling silver is a precious metal with a bright, cool white shine. Gemvara's silver jewelry is crafted in premium Argentium 960, which resists tarnish better than generic sterling silver. Our wide selection of sterling silver fire opal jewelry by Gary Stucchi, Stephanie Satow, Carl Ansley, and other talented designers means you can find jewelry that's exactly your style. You can also shop by style, choosing our Symbol, Religious, or Mothers Collections. Gemvara's fine quality sterling silver fire opal jewelry is designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

The fire opal is all about unity; in fact it symbolizes the unity of two polar opposites: fire and water. Fire opal forms when water seeps into silica-rich red, hot lava, filling all its crevices. Then the silica forms a solid gel, trapping the remaining water within its structure. This vivid gem's beauty also will remind you of flames. Color is the most important factor to consider in picking the perfect fire opal and a vivid orange hue means it is of fine quality. Unlike most opal, fire opal is faceted and has brilliance, as well as a bright, day-glow, orange color. Born in the fire of Mexico's volcanoes, fire opal's natural, bright orange color is unmatched in the gem kingdom. Cut is more important than clarity when choosing your fire opal because fire opal often has a welcome haziness that actually increases the vibrancy of its color. Opal is the October birthstone and the 14th anniversary gem. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality fire opal will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine fire opal jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
