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.

The gem of peace and sobriety, the name "amethyst" comes from a Greek the word meaning "not drunken." According to the ancient Greeks, this wine-colored gem had the power to keep you sober. Amethyst is often used in religious settings as a symbol of piety and celibacy. Tibetan Buddhists meditate using amethyst rosaries to calm the mind and Bishop's rings often feature an amethyst. Color is the most important element in amethyst quality: the more vibrant and bright the lavender purple hue, the more valuable the amethyst. Gemvara's amethyst is a rich purple that complements both warm and cool colors. A well-cut amethyst is also important because the right cut will maximize the color and well as allow the amethyst to sparkle in the light. Amethyst is the February birthstone and the 6th and 17th anniversary gem. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality amethyst will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine amethyst jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
