Christmas Gift Ideas: Palladium August Birthstone Rings by Jeet Palavwala

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 iolite and yellow gold or alexandrite 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 a birthday or Valentine's Day to your own personal milestones and celebrations. Celebrate Christmas with a brilliant gift of jewelry that will always remind her of you. Our unrivalled selection of designs by Ji Hwang, Gemvara Essentials, Martha Gomez Gutierrez, and other talented jewelry designers means you can find a ring that's just your style. Because all Gemvara palladium august birthstone rings are made to order, we can hand-select the finest quality materials to perfectly suit your design. August's birthstone is peridot, with a color that will keep you cool even in the heat of summer. Palladium is the newest precious metal. A platinum group metal, palladium is rare, lustrous, and naturally white. 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 palladium august birthstone rings with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. Gemvara's fine quality palladium august birthstone rings are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

Jeet Palavwala designs sophisticated dimensional jewelry that is like sculpture in precious metal and gems. His stunning lotus ring was the winner of our first international design competition. Although Jeet is from Surat, India, the city where most of the world's diamonds are cut and polished, he began his career designing machine tools. Before long he began using technology to design jewelry instead, naming his jewelry design studio Neviell. By combining his love of art with his a strong technical background, Jeet discovered that creating jewelry was his passion, or as he describes it, his "destiny." Always challenging his mind to think in new ways, he enjoys bringing new jewelry design ideas to life each day.

With a little care, your fine jewelry will keep its good looks forever. The best way to clean your jewelry is by soaking it in a bowl of warm water with a few drops of ordinary dish detergent. If needed, use a soft brush where dust and soap can collect. Then just rinse and pat dry with a soft cloth.

You won't have to clean your jewelry as often if you put it on after applying hairspray, perfume, and cosmetics. Be sure to remove your jewelry before strenuous activities like sports. Keep jewelry away from chlorine and other household chemicals. Always make sure it is dry and clean by wiping with a cloth before putting it away.

To protect the beauty of your jewelry, don't keep it in a tangle in a jewelry box. Remember, gems can scratch metal or each other. When you travel, make sure your jewelry pieces don't rub against each other in your bag. Store each piece separately or wrap each one in tissue paper or a soft cloth.

We want you to love your Gemvara jewelry, so we offer a 101-day no-questions-asked return policy.
