Bridal Party Gift Ideas: Diamond Jewelry Under $499

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 quartz and white gold or fire opal and palladium: 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 an anniversary or Mother's Day to your own personal milestones and celebrations. Gemvara uses only the highest quality materials to craft your diamond jewelry design with meticulous attention to detail. Our precious metals are recycled or responsibly mined. The ancient Greeks called diamond "adamas," meaning invincible, theorizing that something so beautiful must be the crystallized teardrops of the gods. Gemvara's diamonds are hand selected for fine quality: even small accent gems are H SI2 or better. Center diamonds have GIA or AGS reports confirming the exceptional quality. Our wide selection of diamond jewelry by Damon Washington, Martha Gomez Gutierrez, Bijoux & Bijoux, and other talented designers means you can find jewelry that's exactly your style. You can also shop by style, choosing our Lucky Charm, Family, or Customer Favorite Collections. Gemvara's fine quality diamond jewelry is designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

Produced deep within the depths of the earth over a million years ago, a diamond is one of the most well-known and sought-after gemstones in the world. The ancient Greeks called the diamond "adamas," meaning invincible and theorized that something so beautiful could only come from the gods. Romans thought diamonds must have been fallen stars. Today diamonds have become the universal symbol of "forever" and most couples around the globe mark their engagement with a diamond ring. When shopping for diamond jewelry you must keep in mind the 4Cs: color, clarity, cut and carat weight. All these factor into the quality of the diamond. Less is more when it comes to color and clarity: the gems with the least amount of color and the fewest inclusions are the most rare and valued. On the other hand, bigger is better when it comes to carat weight: the bigger the diamond, the higher the carat weight and the more it costs per carat. Cut is arguably the most important value factor because the quality of a diamond's cut gives it its life and sparkle. The diamonds Gemvara offers are exceptionally fine: a minimum G-H in color, at least SI2 in clarity, and cut to dazzle with brilliance. Diamond is the April birthstone and the gem of the 10th and 60th anniversary. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality diamond will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine diamond jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
