Tourmaline Rings by Damon Washington

Rings are potent symbols of power, the circle of life, and promises to keep. At Gemvara, we believe that the rings you wear should be one of a kind, like you. That's why all our rings are made from scratch in your choice of gems and precious metals. Choose green amethyst and platinum or aquamarine and white gold: 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 a wedding or holiday to your own personal milestones and celebrations. Our impressive selection of tourmaline rings by Jessica Behzad, David West, Tony Rodrigues, and many other jewelry designers means you can find a style that's perfect for you. Because all Gemvara tourmaline rings are made to order, we can hand-select the finest quality materials to perfectly suit your design. The gem of creativity and innovation, tourmaline has the power to inspire artistic expression. Available in a rich palette, there is a tourmaline for every jewelry design. Gemvara offers tourmaline in a warm pink and a lush green. Tourmaline is an October birthstone and the 8th anniversary gem. Be careful when washing your hands: rings can easily slip down the drain! Clean tourmaline rings in a bowl of water with a little mild dish soap. You can use a soft brush where dust collects. Gemvara's fine quality tourmaline rings are designed to be passed down for generations, hand-crafted by skilled craftspeople 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.

If creativity is what you desire, then a tourmaline gem is perfect for you. Known as the gem of intuition, artistic expression and creativity, Tourmaline is popular because it comes in so many colors and combinations. Its variety of hues is also why it was named from the Sinhalese tura mali, which means "mixed stone." Cut is important when buying a tourmaline because a well-cut tourmaline will reflect the light. Tourmaline is the October birthstone and the 8th anniversary gem. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality tourmaline will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine tourmaline is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
