Lovely and durable, quartz gems are an excellent choice for jewelry with lasting beauty. Palladium is the newest precious metal. A platinum group metal, palladium is rare, lustrous, and naturally white. Clean your palladium quartz jewelry with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. Gemvara's fine quality palladium quartz jewelry is designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

Although Damon Washington majored in art, it was football that first put him in the spotlight. He excelled as a running back, first for Colorado State and later for the New York Giants. As a player, he began to collect jewelry, marveling at the detail and craftsmanship concentrated in something so small. After he left the NFL, he decided to turn his interest in jewelry into a career, studying jewelry design at the Gemological Institute of America. Today this renaissance man has his own jewelry design company, called Damon 2029, after the numbers he wore on the field. He is often inspired by artwork, his own or the work of masters, and colors and emotion help drive his design process. His jewelry has a bold flair worthy of his warrior spirit. As you might expect, Damon has designed jewelry for many NFL players, including Ron Dayne, Clark Haggans, Travis Laboy, James Farrior, Ron Dixon, and Thabiti Davis.

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.
