Astra North South Emerald Hoops

Vara made the whole process so easy. I was able to customize it to exactly what I wanted. They explained everything about the diamonds and GIA certification, and the ring turned out stunning and it only took three weeks!

I purchased a pair of black diamond, 18k gold studs from Vara nearly a year ago, and they’ve quickly become my go-to earrings! These were for myself, and as a man, I really appreciated how versatile the design is—they pair effortlessly with a range of outfits, from casual to more elevated looks. What impressed me most is the lasting quality: the shine and finish have held up beautifully over time. No fading, no tarnishing.. just solid craftsmanship. At this price point, you’re getting incredible value, especially considering these are natural mined diamonds set in solid 18k gold. I’ve received a number of compliments on them and will absolutely be returning to Vara for future pieces.

I’m honestly still in awe of my engagement ring from Vara. I can’t stop staring at it — it’s so classic and timeless, but also just wow. Garv, the owner, was incredible. She really took the time to understand what I was envisioning and somehow made it even better than I imagined. She was warm, patient, and made the whole process feel really personal and easy. The sparkle, the quality, the way it all came together, everything was perfect. I’ll never forget this experience, and I couldn’t recommend Vara more.

I had the most incredible experience with Vara. Garv helped me create the perfect engagement ring — a stunning 4-carat round GIA-certified D color, internally flawless diamond with hearts and arrows, set in a pavé band with a hidden halo. The moment my fiancée saw it, she completely fell in love. The brilliance, the precision, and the thoughtful design made it everything we could have imagined and more. Vara turned this milestone into something truly unforgettable.

I got this emerald tennis bracelet from Vara as a gift for my mom, and honestly, it blew me away. The quality and craftsmanship are on a whole other level—way better than what I saw at other jewelry stores. The color and clarity of the emeralds are noticeably superior, and the whole piece just looks and feels high-end. My mom loved it so much she hasn’t taken it off since. Vara really knows how to make heirloom pieces that feel special and timeless.

Working with Vara was such a special experience. Garv helped us design the most breathtaking ring — a 5.5-carat oval GIA-certified D color, internally flawless diamond, set in a pavé band with a hidden halo. When I proposed, my fiancée was completely surprised and couldn’t believe how stunning (and big!) the diamond looked in person. The sparkle, the craftsmanship, and the attention to detail were beyond anything we imagined. Vara truly brought our dream ring to life.
