The Story of Us

About Gem + Jewel

Welcome to Gem + Jewel! We are proud to be the first e-commerce aggregator of the finest quality jewelry sources worldwide. Gem + Jewel’s ground-breaking business model connects local, independent jewelers - who may not necessarily advertise their products to the general public - with customers the world over, affording them first time access to exceptional jewelry and timepieces of the highest caliber.

The team here at Gem + Jewel has expertise in all areas of the jewelry business. We have top level designers, manufacturers, retailers, customer service and concierge experts on board, all of whom share a passion for helping you find the finest, most distinctive jewelry anywhere – at the best prices you'll find online or offline. We offer complimentary shipping and returns on all orders as part of the Gem +Jewel seamless shopping experience.

Similar to the natural world, when groups of animals or flocks of birds move together instinctively in perfect collaboration with each other, and with a singular purpose, we want you to think of us as your personal team of synchronized professionals, moving in unison and working together with one goal in mind – your complete purchase satisfaction.

The designers and retailers at Gem + Jewel combine an outstanding selection of superior pieces with impeccable customer support. Our retail partners are independent jewelers, family-owned businesses with deep roots in their communities. We're proud to introduce these established jewelry retailers to you – and we know you will find the products they offer of superlative quality and value. No matter where you live, Gem + Jewel is the ultimate online jewelry marketplace.
