Christmas Gift Ideas: Garnet 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 pearl and palladium or emerald and white gold: 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 birthday or Mother's Day 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 Bijoux & Bijoux, Ji Hwang, Carl Ansley, and other talented jewelry designers means you can find a ring that's just your style. Because all Gemvara garnet rings are made to order, we can hand-select the finest quality materials to perfectly suit your design. A favorite of collectors, garnet is a brilliant gem that comes in a wide range of colors, from red to green. Gemvara loves red garnet for its dramatic color and surprising affordability. Gemvara offers both affordable earthy Mozambique red garnet and purplish red rhodolite garnet. 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 garnet rings with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. Gemvara's fine quality garnet 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.

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.
