Easily Make Beautiful Jewelry
We've made jewelry making easy to do and you'll be amazed at what you'll make with your own two hands!
I'm Pamela, founder of Gem Collective. Over the past 30 years I have spent countless pleasurable hours making jewelry. I always felt so alive and engaged trying out new designs, playing with combinations of different colors, shapes and textures. And it never got old.
I especially enjoyed inviting my supposedly 'uncreative' friends over and watching them have the same happy experience. We would sit around the dining room table and I'd bring out my many trays of jewelry components. We would play around with different design combinations and while we made our jewelry, we had fun catching up with each other. It was leisurely and bonding. There's something inherently nourishing about women crafting together.
I created Gem Collective because I wanted to share this with a wider group of women. It is a dream come true to have us gather together in cafes, get in the creative groove make a fabulous piece of jewelry together.
It's the combination of all the elements - the feeling of community and happy vibe of enthusiastic women dedicated to an evening of play and fun, doing something creative together and the satisfaction of making something with our own two hands that make the the jewelry socials such a positive experience.
I'm genuinely looking forward to meeting you and sharing this wonderful experience with you.
