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.

When shopping for tanzanite jewelry, color and quality are the most important value factors: the more vivid, pure, velvety, and saturated the blue, the more valuable the tanzanite. The secret to tanzanite's mesmerizing color is trichoism, which means the crystals of tanzanite are three different colors when seen from different directions. This happens when the blue and purple in the tanzanite mesh together in the inner landscape of the gem as it moves and catches the light. Gemvara's tanzanite is the best possible color for its size, more blue than purple. Tanzanite is a modern gem, discovered in 1969 and named by Tiffany & Co. Supremely rare it is found in only one place in the world: a five-square mile area in Merelani, Tanzania near the feet of majestic Kilimanjaro. Tanzanite is a December birthstone and the gem of the 24th anniversary. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality tanzanite will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine tanzanite jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
