Rose Gold Split Shank Ring | Gerry The Jeweler

The Journey to Meeting You Here…

When I was a youngster, my father – a self taught goldsmith and jeweler – asked me if I would be interested in learning how to do jewelry repairs.
 
At the age of 10, I would go in to the workshop on Saturdays and practice the basic repairs that he taught me. I would also ‘help’ with customers who mostly would just ask me if my dad was there lol.
 
After a few years, I had developed such a skill level that I started working on actual customer jewelry.
 
It must have been nerve wracking for some clients to watch me initially. I was, after all, 14-15 years old with a mullet hairdo walking away with their prized family heirlooms. Little by little, I was blessed to earn their trust. Many of these people became lifelong clients and some became good friends as well.
 
Over the next 10 years, and with diligent practice, my craft evolved to my true love which working on and producing fine quality engagement ring designs.

From Imagination to Reality

 
During the infancy of internet commerce, way back in 2001, is when I began to imagine bringing my craft to clients around the globe.
 
Imagining myself working from wherever I was in the world, dealing with people like you… Wherever you happen to be!
 
I’d fantasize about this great idea, this vision and dream. Having a great team of designers, artisans and developers who could help to bring this vision to fruition. There were many trials and tribulations for sure.
 
It’s been quite the journey so far, from my dad’s shop, to my own retail store and then building out Gerry The Jeweler online.
 
Now, and since 2013, here I am with the opportunity to be sharing my craft and passion with you!
 
Now that you know a bit about me, please feel free to share… What would you like to do next?
