Master craftsman and world traveler, Gary Stucchi designs unique pieces that you can treasure for a lifetime and share with future generations. The leading custom jeweler in Natick, Massachusetts, he has been designing and making jewelry since he was 10 years old: after making a pendant with his older brother, he knew he had found his calling. Recently he was commissioned by Wellesley College to create a custom pin for Madeleine Albright, noted jewelry collector. Gary designed an intricate, dimensional globe pin that represents the former Secretary of State's mastery of international diplomacy. Gary is also known for his popular "A Mother's Gift" collection of elegant stackable mother's rings. "It always seems that the simplest designs resonate with people," he says. "My inspiration is looking at what's not there: the blank canvas or the clear mind, where true creativity is born."

Garnet is the traveler's gem for it protects you when you are far from home. Early travelers used garnets as talismans to light up the night and keep away evil. A garnet's color is the most important factor when purchasing this gem: it should be intense and vivid. A well-cut garnet is also important because the right cut will maximize the color and well as allow the garnet to sparkle with light. Gemvara carries two varieties of garnets: affordable red garnets from Mozambique, which have an earthy red-ocher color, and rhodolite garnets, which have a rich raspberry color. Garnet is the birthstone for January, the 2nd anniversary gem, and the zodiac gem for Aquarius. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality garnet will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine garnet jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
