It's jewelry for all life's occasions, from a wedding or anniversary to your own personal milestones and celebrations. Celebrate Christmas with a brilliant gift of jewelry that will always remind her of you. Gemvara uses only the highest quality materials to craft your sterling silver blue sapphire jewelry design with meticulous attention to detail. Our precious metals are recycled or responsibly mined. Sapphire captures the beauty of the ocean. Sterling silver is 92.5 percent silver. Gemvara's silver is more pure: we use Argentium 960, which naturally resists tarnish better than any other silver. Our wide selection of sterling silver blue sapphire jewelry by Jeet Palavwala, Jessica Behzad, Tony Rodrigues, and other talented designers means you can find jewelry that's exactly your style. You can also shop by style, choosing our Heart, Symbol, or Claddagh Collections. Gemvara's fine quality sterling silver blue sapphire jewelry is designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

Randy Dixon is an artist who creates metal sculpture that also happens to be wearable jewelry designs. An award-winning designer with more than thirty-five years of jewelry bench experience, one of his greatest talents is thinking out of the box and translating abstract ideas into breathtaking design features. A gemologist, Randy truly loves the materials he works with; whether it's a brilliant gemstone or a lustrous metal, he is genuinely excited before beginning each new design. Although he seeks inspiration in a variety of sources, his biggest influences include his artist mother, his wife, and the woman who will wear each piece of jewelry he creates.

Blue sapphire is considered the gemstone of truth, the original "true blue." In ancient times, a gift of a sapphire was a pledge of honesty and devotion. Kate Middleton's blue sapphire engagement ring is the latest in a long tradition of royal sapphires. Sapphire comes from the Greek word "sappheiros," meaning blue, so it's no surprise that blue is the most popular color for a sapphire. When shopping for blue sapphire jewelry, the most important factors to consider are quality, color and cut of the sapphire. The more vibrant and bright the hue, the more valuable the blue sapphire will be. Also, the larger the carat weight, the more the blue sapphire will cost per carat. Before their final polish, most blue sapphires are heat-enhanced to almost 2,000 degrees in order to improve the color and clarity. This stable treatment does not require special care and does not reduce the gem's value. Sapphire is the September birthstone, the 5th and 45th wedding anniversary gem, and the zodiac gem for Virgo. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality blue sapphire will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine blue sapphire jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
