Christmas Gift Ideas: Aquamarine Rings by Ji Hwang

Rings have long symbolized the circle of life. At Gemvara, we believe that the rings you wear should be one of a kind, like you. That's why our rings are made to order in your choice of conflict-free gems and recycled precious metals. Choose black diamond and platinum or alexandrite and sterling silver: 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 engagement or graduation to your own personal milestones and celebrations. Celebrate this Christmas with a personalized piece of jewelry that shows how much you care. Our unrivalled selection of designs by Randy Dixon, Tony Rodrigues, Danielle Meshorer, and other talented jewelry designers means you can find a ring that's just your style. Because all Gemvara aquamarine rings are made to order, we can hand-select the finest quality materials to perfectly suit your design. Aquamarine adds a cool confidence to everything you wear. Be careful when removing rings to wash your hands. Don't leave your ring on the rim of a sink where it can slip down the drain! Clean aquamarine rings with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. Gemvara's fine quality aquamarine rings are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

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.

Said to be the gem of mermaids, aquamarine captures the essence of the calm seas. Its pastel blue color with a tinge of green is thought to keep sailors safe, as well as increase harmony (especially between couples). Color is the most important aspect in choosing your aquamarine jewelry. The more pure and bright the pastel blue, the more valuable the aquamarine gem. Cut and clarity also matter, since the light shade makes imperfections more visible. Aquamarine is more saturated in larger sizes (it isn't possible to get the best color in small accent stones) and the larger the carat weight, the more an aquamarine will cost per carat. Aquamarine is the March birthstone and the 19th anniversary gem. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality aquamarine will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine aquamarine jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
