Smoky Quartz Jewelry by Carl Ansley

At Gemvara, we believe that the jewelry you wear should be one of a kind, like you. That's why we make each piece to order, one at a time, just the way you want it. Choose tourmaline and sterling silver or alexandrite and palladium: it's your choice. Mix and match gems and precious metals for a look that's exactly you. It's jewelry for all life's occasions, from an anniversary or Valentine's Day to your own personal milestones and celebrations. Gemvara uses only the highest quality materials to craft your smoky quartz jewelry design with meticulous attention to detail. Our precious metals are recycled or responsibly mined. If you love chocolate, you'll love smoky quartz, the earthy brown relative of amethyst. Smoky quartz is undeniably elegant and as versatile as cognac colored leather, adding sophistication to everything you wear. Our wide selection of smoky quartz jewelry by Ruzanna Davtian, Ji Hwang, Stephanie Satow, and other talented designers means you can find jewelry that's exactly your style. You can also shop by style, choosing our Antique-Inspired, Statement, or Key Collections. Gemvara's fine quality smoky quartz jewelry is designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

While designer Carl Ansley is inspired by the natural world, you'll see it most in the line and proportion of his modern pieces rather than in traditional motifs. Throughout his 22 year-career, which began at Tiffany & Co., Carl has developed a deep appreciation for the artistic process behind creating gorgeous, eye-catching jewelry. Form follows function but doesn't overwhelm it. For example, because rings can twist on the finger, he creates a natural curve high on a ring's shoulders so it will rest comfortably on the finger next to it. He takes great care to create jewelry that makes a bold statement in order to express a woman's own style and personality. Carl says the greatest accomplishment of his long career is designing and crafting his wife's diamond engagement ring and wedding band. It's just what you'd expect from a designer who thinks first of the woman who will wear his jewelry.

Bring some inner peace to your life with a smoky quartz. Said to protect from danger and help soothe grief, this gemstone is often used in rosaries and crucifixes, but can be worn in any piece of jewelry. Quality is very important while shopping for a smoky quartz, and is determined mostly by color and cut. Smoky quartz has a beautiful cognac-color. This gem is sometimes incorrectly referred to as smoky topaz. Its rich, chocolate color adds earth-tone sophistication to any jewelry design. The more concentrated the chocolate-brown color, the more valuable the smoky quartz is. A smoky quartz will gleam in the light, so cut is also significant. Although most smoky quartz faceted for jewelry today is mined in Brazil, it is also the state gemstone of New Hampshire and the official gem of Scotland, an early source. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality smoky quartz will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine smoky quartz jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
