Earlier this year Michael and I celebrated our 10th anniversary together! So crazy, right? I wanted a new band to add to my wedding rings stack (which includes my original wedding band and a band Michael got me for our five year anniversary). For this anniversary, I picked something out myself and I customized this beautiful ring in black diamond and yellow gold from Gemvara. I recently remembered that diamond (including black diamond) is the 10th anniversary stone, so that totally worked out!
I love the new the mix of stones and metals in my stack. Lately I’ve just been wearing my wedding bands alone and leaving my engagement ring for the days I’m not doing any hard labor. :)
Gemvara was kind enough to reach out and offer up a $1,000 gift certificate this week! So exciting, right? I was invited to curate a whole collection for their site. Below are a few of my favorites, and you can view the rest of my picks HERE.

Every style is available in over 20 different natural gemstones and nine different precious metals. They totally guarantee your satisfaction with their beautiful pieces – everything can be returned (even engraved pieces!) for 101 days! They really do a great job of making the whole process simple – I was choosing between a few band styles for my new ring and they have a ton of photos of every piece from all different angles that helped me to narrow it down. It took a lot of the guesswork out of buying jewelry online.

I would love the 7 stone artisan band with the emeralds. I am back together with my first love after we traveled different roads for 28 years. The significance of this ring is the emeralds since he is irish. Maybe someday we will marry but for now this would be a wonderful commitment ring.

Brilliant Alhambra Band is just beautiful. Something about the curves and stones… I would love to have something so unique!!!
I could spend hours looking and creating on the gemvara.com site, #gemvara. They have such beautiful pieces and so many options to customize them.
As it is hard to find nice and pretty garnets and garnet jewelry, I was particularly fond of this beautiful garnet pendant. I changed one of the accent stones from rhodolite garnets to red garnets which gave it a more dramatic look, but I love it the other way too. The rose gold really made the look, so I left that the same.
