Graduation Gift Ideas: Palladium Quartz Engagement Rings

Engagement rings have been the ultimate symbol of love for thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, they wore rings on the third finger of the left hand to mark where the "vein of love" went directly to the heart, starting a tradition that continues today. When pledging your love with a unique engagement ring, you are starting your own family tradition. The most important value factor to consider when shopping for palladium quartz engagement rings is the quality of the center stone. Gemvara hand-selects top quality conflict-free gems that are expertly cut for maximum beauty. Quartz is the largest gem family, from purple amethyst to golden citrine and even onyx. This chameleon gem was the treasure of the ancient world, beloved by kings and queens. Today quartz is affordable and available and a favorite of jewelry designers. Rare and naturally white, palladium is a platinum group metal that weighs a bit less than gold, making it versatile even for large jewelry designs. Our unrivalled selection of engagement rings by Martha Gomez Gutierrez, David West, Ji Hwang, and other talented jewelry designers means you can find an engagement ring that perfectly symbolizes your relationship. Clean palladium quartz engagement rings with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. When taking off your engagement ring, don't pull on the gemstone: this won't damage the gem but it can, over time, stretch the metal that holds it in place, making the setting less secure. Be careful when removing your ring to wash your hands. Don't leave it on the rim of a sink where it can slip down the drain! Gemvara's fine quality palladium quartz engagement rings are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

Quartz, one of the most well-known of gems, is attractive, durable and affordable. When purchasing quartz jewelry, the key to quality is color. The deeper the color, the more valuable the quartz will be. A well-cut quartz is also important because the right cut will maximize the color and well as allow the quartz to shine. There are many different colors of quartz, for example Amethyst is a form of quartz and the birthstone for February. Citrine is also quartz and the birthstone for November. Quartz is perfect if you crave a big rock that won't break the bank. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality quartz will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine quartz jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
