Hanukkah Gift Ideas: Tourmaline Jewelry by Jeet Palavwala

At Gemvara, we believe that the jewelry you wear should be one of a kind, like you. That's why we make each piece to order, one at a time, just the way you want it. Choose emerald and palladium or alexandrite and platinum: 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 an engagement or Mother's Day to your own personal milestones and celebrations. Celebrate Hanukkah with a brilliant gift of jewelry that will always remind her of you. Gemvara uses only the highest quality materials to craft your tourmaline jewelry design with meticulous attention to detail. Our precious metals are recycled or responsibly mined. Tourmaline is named from the Sinhalese tura mali, which means "mixed stone." Available in a rainbow of colors and color combinations, tourmaline lives up to its name. Gemvara offers tourmaline in a warm pink and a lush green. Tourmaline is an October birthstone and the 8th anniversary gem. Our wide selection of tourmaline jewelry by Carl Ansley, Danielle Meshorer, Tony Rodrigues, and other talented designers means you can find jewelry that's exactly your style. You can also shop by style, choosing our Organica, Mothers, or Twists & Curves Collections. Gemvara's fine quality tourmaline jewelry is 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.

If creativity is what you desire, then a tourmaline gem is perfect for you. Known as the gem of intuition, artistic expression and creativity, Tourmaline is popular because it comes in so many colors and combinations. Its variety of hues is also why it was named from the Sinhalese tura mali, which means "mixed stone." Cut is important when buying a tourmaline because a well-cut tourmaline will reflect the light. Tourmaline is the October birthstone and the 8th anniversary gem. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality tourmaline will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine tourmaline is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
