Long known as "water sapphire," this lovely blue iolite has the steely hue of the ocean at dawn. Gemvara's iolite is carefully oriented and cut for maximum brilliance. Gemvara crafts its silver jewelry in premium Argentium, a 96% pure silver alloy with a shine that lasts up to ten times longer. After testing the durability and tarnish resistance of all silver alloys on the market, Gemvara selected Argentium 960, the finest silver, which stays bright longer than any other silver. When washing your hands, don't leave any rings on the rim of a sink where they can slip down the drain! Clean sterling silver iolite rings in a bowl of water with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. Gemvara's exceptional heirloom-quality sterling silver iolite rings are designed to be passed down for generations, crafted by hand in the United States.

Exploration is the meaning attached to the iolite gemstone. This term comes from the tale of Leif Eriksson. When he and other legendary Viking explores ventured into the Atlantic searching for the new world, they used a naturally polarizing iolite lens to determine the exact position of the sun in order to navigate safely. This technique was made possible due to iolite's plechoism: its ability to display a different color for each different direction. It is violet blue from one angle, clear as water from another and a honey yellow from the top. This characteristic makes it difficult to cut an iolite because in the wrong shape, iolite's color will not be properly displayed. The color of an iolite is its most important value factor: the more pure and saturated the blue, the more valuable the iolite is. Historically called the "water sapphire," an iolite is a charming, blue gem with a steely hue that resembles the color of the ocean at dawn. Iolite is the gem of the 21st anniversary. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality iolite will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine iolite jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
