The exchanging of rings to mark love and commitment is as old as human culture. We give those we love rings to celebrate our union, to symbolize a shared life, and to express love. Commitment rings are worn on the third finger of the left hand because our ancestors believed that veins from that finger ran straight to the heart. Today couples choose rings that express their unique bond so ring styles are more individual and expressive than ever before. Symbols, gems, and personal engravings add your personality into the ring.

Consider a birthstone commitment ring: adding your partner's birthstone or your two birthstones to your rings allows you to keep each other close at hand always. Symbols like the infinity symbol, the triqueta, and eternity bands with gems all the way around the finger are a strong statement of the depth of your commitment. Precious metals and gems stand for the preciousness of your vows. Consider choosing gold or platinum for your commitment rings so they will stand the test of time, just like your relationship.

With a little care, your fine jewelry will keep its good looks forever. The best way to clean your jewelry is by soaking it in a bowl of warm water with a few drops of ordinary dish detergent. If needed, use a soft brush where dust and soap can collect. Then just rinse and pat dry with a soft cloth.

You won't have to clean your jewelry as often if you put it on after applying hairspray, perfume, and cosmetics. Be sure to remove your jewelry before strenuous activities like sports. Keep jewelry away from chlorine and other household chemicals. Always make sure it is dry and clean by wiping with a cloth before putting it away.

To protect the beauty of your jewelry, don't keep it in a tangle in a jewelry box. Remember, gems can scratch metal or each other. When you travel, make sure your jewelry pieces don't rub against each other in your bag. Store each piece separately or wrap each one in tissue paper or a soft cloth.

We want you to love your Gemvara jewelry, so we offer a 101-day no-questions-asked return policy.
