Win $500 worth of jewelry from Gemvara!
Like any girl I’m a fan of jewelry. It doesn’t have to be expensive, but it does have to be stylish and my jewelry drawer holds pieces from a range of styles and price tags. I add costume pieces pretty regularly into the mix, but investment pieces aren’t really something that happens frequently around here. Before getting pregnant with Hudson I had never heard of a push present. After going through 7 hours of labor which included 3 hours of pushing I totally get why a new mom to be would need some sort of sparkly present as a metal of sorts for having bought a new life into the world. I was recently introduced to Gemvara and they were kind enough to offer me a credit so that I could treat myself to a little push present to myself in honor of my boys.
I literally felt like a kid in a candy store wanting to try everything out. With Gemvara you can pick from hundreds of different jewelry styles, 29 different gemstones and 9 different metals. I found the best part of shopping their site to be that the image is customizable. So once you mix and match everything you can see the finished product on the screen and decide if you like that mash up.
Once you decide on the combo you like you can either select your ring size or have them mail you a ring sizer if you don’t know your size. After your order is placed it only takes 10 days for your custom ring to be made and delivered to you!
I decided to pick the Roxanne ring, because it’s something I knew I would wear on a daily basis. I wanted something in honor of Hudson and Asher so I went with their birthstones, blue topaz for Hudson and emerald for Asher. I wanted a metal that would work with a variety of outfits so instead of white or yellow gold I decided to go with a rose gold. The best part was that I could have it engraved with their name! Such a sweet little memento that only I can see before I slip it on my finger.
My ring arrived promptly in 10 days and I was amazed by how pretty looked it looked in person and it’s overall quality and stylish packaging.
I couldn’t wait to take it for a spin.

I’m smitten with my new piece and can stop telling everyone about Gemvara and how they should try out the site and feel confident about ordering fine jewelry online. Best part is that if you aren’t 100% happy they have a 101 day return policy plus one free ring sizing if you were off on the size you picked!

ON THE BLOG
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
So pretty!!! I love Gemvara and would be smitten with the black onyx thin and rich band!!!
Love This! What a Great Website!

Ahhh, I love this!!! I would LOVE to design a ring for my future little one- hmmmmm the possibilities are endless. But I think I want to start a stack of bands, so I would have to pick a band for sure. I like either the button band, with her birth stone and diamond OR the Rich and Thin band is really darn awesome too! So many fun choices!!!
I love how your boys ring looks- so beautiful!!
I love the thin and rich band and the searchlight ring. I might have to buy them both!
my favorite is the full of love earrings! so pretty
Not to totally copy you -but I LOVE that Roxanne ring. I love that you can design it yourself with your kids’ birthstones. I’m totally going to steal that idea!
Oh my, I love the gem letter pendant!! Would buy one with my little one’s first initial. I also adore the Written in the Stars ring. I’ll take both! 🙂
Actually, I lied. I would get the Slim Nine Gem Band and just get 2 of them. Then IF I have another baby, I can just get one more. Lovely!
Oh my the Roxanne ring is beautiful! Thanks for the chance!
Love the Emerald Cut Emerald. It’s gorgeous.
The Carrie Ring is exquisite. Would love to win.
Beautiful things!
That ring is GORGEOUS. I love it – it’s so different. If I were buying for myself, I’d probably do something similar but mix up the colors.
But…I’m hoping – hoping – that my boyfriend and I may possibly, maybe get engaged in the next year, so I also love the Olivia with sapphires on the band. Beautiful.
I would love the renaissance band!
I’ve been covering the Rich and Thin band since before my son was born in July! It’s on my list as a push present; my husband tells me it still counts up to a year after the birth date, so I’m still hopeful. Winning the gift card will definitely help move things along, though! 🙂
So many pretty rings!
I love the ring you designed! They have so many pretty pieces, but the one that I keep being drawn to the most is the Labyrinth Ring. It’s beautiful and would coordinate well with my blue sapphire engagement ring and wedding band.
I love the SEARCHLIGHT RING – http://www.gemvara.com/jewelry/searchlight-ring/round-rock-crystal-14k-white-gold-ring/fmq7l
So many good options! I would love either http://www.gemvara.com/jewelry/grace-ring/round-red-garnet-sterling-silver-ring-with-smoky-quartz-and-black-onyx/zwmpg or http://www.gemvara.com/jewelry/seven-stone-artisan-band-2-5mm-gems/princess-red-garnet-14k-rose-gold-ring-with-red-garnet/df9wd.
Loving the Raquel band with black diamonds!

The modern heart ring… I love it! Or the delicate heart pendant. Their jewelry is beautiful!
I like the gemstone by the yard necklaces! Especially the three stone one – very dainty and pretty!
I love the bubble rings, everything is gorgeous.
The Laurel ring is so beautiful!

Well that was fun, everything is so pretty on that site!
How is a girl supposed to choose just one?! Since I would rather have my hubby surprise me with my anniversary ring, I looked into doing a ring to honor my son- like you did. =) I love the ‘Infinity Love’ thin band. My love for my husband and son are absolutely infinite so this is truly the perfect ring. Thank you for such an awesome giveaway- and for bringing this company to my attention! Definitely dropping the hint to my hubby!
The Rich and Thin band is lovely and so classic
I love your Roxanne and how unique you can make it with three different colors of stones + metal choice! I think that’s what I’d have to pick 🙂
LOVE the brilliant pod band or the rich and thin band!
I like the rosette pendant with a peridot center stone

I love the rich and thin eternity band!
Love your ring!

Choose garnet for our 2nd anniversary!
The quiz was fun! I like the cushion cut red garnet in the Geneva ring style, but the searchlight style is pretty, too! I might need to search again and choose vintage style this time…
Super pretty jewelry!
Would love the birds of a feather ring
This is what I would choose, although the decision was tough!http://www.gemvara.com/jewelry/raquel-band/sterling-silver-ring-with-white-sapphire/9td36
love the raquel band
I never win things! But I will share my fav- the princess stacking rings with a combination of yellow and white metals and moody stones like dark green and a tan coke, with something light and bright blue to keep it fresh. Why? Because I have 4 kids and my fingers no longer look or feel pretty, but are a testament to the love I have for them and the beauty of my life.
I looked at all the rings on the website and decided that the ring you chose, the Roxanne, was my very favorite. You have excellent taste! That is the most beautiful ring! 🙂
My favorite is the PLAIN LOVER’S KNOT RING
Love the rose gold options, especially the blue topaz studs!
I actually LOVE the combination you chose on the Roxanne. Those are the colors we used for our wedding because they’re mine and my hubby’s favorite…
So, I would totally go with the Roxanne. http://www.gemvara.com/jewelry/roxanne-ring/round-blue-sapphire-sterling-silver-ring-with-emerald-and-blue-topaz/zyb04
Sorry if this is a repost comment, but it didn’t look like my original posted.
I actually LOVE the Roxanne and colors you chose. They’re mine and my hubby’s favorite colors. And, I love the shape of the Roxanne.

I am currently awaiting the arrival of my own Roxanne ring. I was so excited to see your photos of the one you created. It is just beautiful. I love the color combination. If I could be so lucky , the Enrapture Ring is the ring I would love in white gold and green tourmaline or smokey Quartz. It is so simple and beautifully timeless.
This might be a repeat post. Sorry if it is. I am currently waiting for my very own Roxanne ring. So excited to get it. I love the Gemvara site so much. I was a bit unsure what the ring would look like in person so, finding your blog with your gorgeous photos was great. Your choices of color were awesome. It is truly a beautiful ring. After playing on the site some more, the Enrapture ring would be my favorite new choice. It would be beautiful in white gold in with a green tourmaline stone, an iolite stone or a somkey Quartz stone. It’s so hard to choose just one favorite.
I’d love a simple band for my right hand! It was fun browsing the Gemvara website. Thanks for introducing it to me!
Hi, for some reason, my comments are not posting. Well, maybe third times a charm! Love love love the ring you customized. It is timeless and stunning. I too love the Roxanne ring. I also love the Enrapture ring in white gold and green tourmaline or smokey quartz.
Pretty pretty. I’ve wanted a charm bracelet for a long time – but have never bought one. The medium link gold one is really beautiful.
What a great idea!
My two picks for my two kiddos would be either of these, good luck ya’ll!

I love this band! It’s so simple but elegant. Getting to swap out stones and create your own pieces is super fun and makes the jewelry even more special. http://www.gemvara.com/jewelry/rich-and-thin-band/sterling-silver-ring-with-diamond/3yqxk
Wow, your Roxanne ring is such a special piece with the boys’ birthstones. I think I’d choose the same piece!
