Solitaire Sapphire 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 aquamarine and sterling silver or diamond 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 engagement or anniversary to your own personal milestones and celebrations. Gemvara uses only the highest quality materials to craft your solitaire sapphire jewelry design with meticulous attention to detail. Our precious metals are recycled or responsibly mined. A gift of a sapphire is a pledge of trust and loyalty. This tradition makes sapphire engagement rings a perfect symbol of the promise to marry. Sapphire is the September birthstone, the 5th and 45th anniversary gem, and the zodiac gem for Virgo. Our wide selection of solitaire sapphire jewelry by Stephanie Satow, Danielle Meshorer, Damon Washington, and other talented designers means you can find jewelry that's exactly your style. You can also shop by style, choosing our Gemstone Halo, Bold, or Celtic Collections. Classic or contemporary, Gemvara's stylish solitaire designs add elegance to every outfit in your wardrobe. Gemvara's fine quality solitaire sapphire 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.

Sapphire is the gemstone of truth. In ancient times, a gift of a sapphire was a pledge of honesty and devotion. Kate Middleton's sapphire engagement ring is the latest in a long tradition of royal sapphires. When shopping for sapphire jewelry, the most important factors to consider are quality, color and cut of the sapphire. The more vibrant and bright the hue, the more valuable the sapphire will be. Also, the larger the carat weight, the more the sapphire will cost per carat. Before their final polish, most sapphires 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. Sapphire is the September birthstone, the 5th and 45th wedding anniversary gem, and the zodiac gem for Virgo. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality sapphire will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine sapphire jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
