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."

Known as the gem of courage and passion, a ruby is not for the timid. Its bold hue entices the eye and hastens the pulse. When buying a ruby, the most important element to consider is color. Pure, vivid fire-engine-red rubies are the most valuable. Cut and clarity also factor into value. The larger the carat weight, the more the ruby will cost per carat. Gemvara only sells premium, hand-selected rubies from Burma, where they are natural and have an exceptional quality. Gemvara supports the Burma import ban and offers only rubies from inventories in the United States. A fine-colored ruby is so desirable that producers take extra care to make sure that the ruby has the best hue possible. Before their final polish, most rubies are heat-enhanced to almost 2,000 degrees in order to improve the color and clarity. This stable treatment does not require special care and does not reduce the gem's value. Ruby is the July birthstone, the 15th and 40th anniversary gem, and the zodiac gem for the sign of Cancer. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality ruby will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine ruby jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
