I haven’t purchased a lot of jewelry, but when I have (never for myself), I’ve found the process to be extremely intimidating. Jewelry stores are scary places–at least for men who are buying for someone special. There are thousands of options, all of them are expensive, and the staff can be snooty. I remember walking into one store and waiting 15 minutes for someone to acknowledge my presence. It was the one time that I actually knew what I wanted to buy, so I walked out and bought the same thing elsewhere. The experience made me never want to step foot in a jewelry store again. Maybe Gemvara is the answer. They’re a Lexington, MA based company that sells jewelry through the web, but there’s a really interesting twist.
The most interesting thing about Gemvara is that they don’t carry any inventory (at least in terms of finished products). Everything is made to order “by hand, one at a time, in the USA.” The pieces displayed on their website are just suggestions. You can order one if you want it, but you can also customize your piece to fit your exact specifications. Even better, all of Gemvara’s jewelry is made with “high-quality conflict-free natural gems” and “recycled or responsibly mined precious metals.” They’re trying to completely change the jewelry buying process, and I like where they’re taking it. Gemvara is extremely customer focused, and it shows with their satisfaction guarantee, return policy, and warrantee. If you’re intrigued by Gemvara’s business model, then you need to take a look at their Careers page. They have a number of open positions that seem suitable for new or recent grads including Graphic Designer, Junior User Experience Designer, Quality Assurance Assistant (New York, NY), and Website Copywriter. Gemvara just got another round of funding, so don’t be surprised to see more jobs posted soon.
