    This place was so much fun! I spectated as my wife built her own ring and it was such a hands on and unique experience! Our instructor, Adeline, was very energetic, kind, talkative, knowledgeable, and talented! All of the instructors were great. I’m from the East Coast, and I can see a studio like this doing really well out here. A cool experience for a small group of friends - I would highly recommend!

    Update: I feel compelled to update my review when I learned at the end of my experience that their employees all work for tips, meaning they are paid less than minimum wage! The girls who assisted us were very helpful and their skill and service deserves more than minimum, let alone below minimum. The markup on the rings is extremely high, it would not be a stretch to pay the employees decently and I won’t be back because I feel this is an unethical business practice. COST: For the three rings pictured (one gemstone and two stackable) my bill with a 20% tip was $164. This was with me providing my own stone rather than buying one of theirs, getting a $5 discount for writing a (this) review, a buy-two-get-one-free deal that meant one of the stackers was free, AND a 20% off the studio fee because it was my birthday (only counts if it is your actual day of birth) so I basically got every discount possible. If I had purchased one of their stones, it would have been $30-70 additional (which, as an aside, is outrageous, this is marked up literally ten times what you can get them at any gem show for.) Also, as far as the tipping scenario goes here, it’s not like a restaurant where they have many tables they serve over the course of of the evening. Our session was three hours long and we were they only people they helped during that time so it was really just us paying their wage for the evening rather than their employer. I would have added a tip anyway for their good service but I’m dismayed that the business owners have decided that their employees wages should be entirely dependent on the generosity of the patrons. Especially considering how much they mark up every bit of the materials. It was fun, the studio looks nice, and the helpful staff made it very easy, but I won’t be back because I really can’t support the ethics of requiring me to pay an extra $30-$50 on top of my already large bill so the employees actually get paid that day. If you can’t afford to be in business unless you don’t pay your employees, you really just can’t afford to be in business. Original review: (provided for discount) Super fun experience! I went with my mom and sisters for my birthday and made beautiful rings. They were so helpful and made it easy and fun. ☺️

    First timer and I hope to come back!!! This was such a fun experience being able to make your own ring! Adeline was so helpful throughout the whole process. She gave incredible advice and created a sweet space for our party. The experience took about 2 while hours but could vary depending on your party. This place has a lot of options to make different types of jewelry. Such a fun experience to go with your partner, girlfriends or family!

    We loved our time at Gem Studio. Cayla was so friendly and knowledgeable. She made sure we loved our creations before we left. I highly recommend this for any occasion.

    This was one of the BEST experiences I’ve ever had. The price is extremely reasonable for the time and energy that the staff put into helping make the beautiful custom jewelry. Cayla was the most amazing silver smith!!!

    I took all the girls in the family on a girls trip here and it was so much fun! We got to learn new things, and design something so beautiful that we will always hold dear to this fun new memory we made. We can’t wait to go back!

    We were in town celebrating & had been wanting a permanent bracelet! It happened to be the grand opening so we got to meet the owners & they made the experience even more sweet. Everyone was so nice & made it a great memory for us. 10/10 recommend them & will return if back in TN.

    What a fun experience! Would make a great date night, girls night, or bestie date. Really fun to learn the basics of working with silver. Perfect hands on for the beginner. They help you as much as you need .

    We had such a great girls day making rings. Brinlee was so sweet, fun and helpful. At the end we were the last ones and Sasha, Kayla and Kali all teamed. They all worked well together and helped us make beautiful rings! Thank you girls!💜

    I've been wanting to make my own jewelry at Gem Studio for a while and finally made it in! It's such a great experience, and you have help silversmithing during the whole process. The staff is so awesome, and it's just so much fun creating your own work of art. I'll be back to make another unique piece soon!

    So much fun! The girl that helped us was so awesome, she was very friendly and knowledgeable to make things comfortable for our group. I went with my mother, sister, and 13 year old niece. We all had such a great time!

  • 5/5 Tayler F. 10 months ago on Google
    Such a fun experience making our own rings! We came in with some crazy ideas and were totally encouraged and supported through the whole process! I would love to come back and highly recommend it for a fun and unique experience.

    We had the most amazing experience with Caroline as our silversmith. Our 3 young boys were mesmerized with the process of picking out their own gems and being able to customize it to their liking. Caroline was great at teaching us, engaging in conversation, and letting the kiddos be hands on with their creations. She made the experience even more amazing and is an asset to the company. Keeping 3 young boys' attention for a couple of hours is impressive. The Gem Studio is truly a gem and their staff is wonderful. Matt, you've created an awesome experience!

    I went to the gem studio for my friend’s birthday and it was so fun!! Ava helped us and was so patient throughout the whole process. I got a gem ring and a toe ring and they’re both so cute!!! I’ll definitely be coming back!

    I have come half a dozen times and I always learn something new. It’s such a fun date night and never gets old, plus I get to take home beautiful quality jewelry! I love that they let me bring my own cabochons.

    This place was so amazing!!! My bestie and I had so much fun and made a new bestie friend Jenna! Jenna was our Gem instructor and she was absolutely THE best. Loved making rings and laughing with awesome people

    Cayla was our helper and she was SO CUTE! I was scared at first thinking that my ring would turn out ugly, but she made the process so easy and gave us great advice! LOVE my ring!!

  • 5/5 Aaron H. 1 year ago on Google
    Hands-on experience with an instructor to experience making a fun and custom piece of jewelery. The instructor/silversmith helps you not roast your hand or start the table on fire. Very fun, experience most people will never have otherwise.

  • 5/5 Danley O. 2 years ago on Google
    What a cool experience!!! I had no idea what to expect but was so pleasantly surprised. Emmie was INCREDIBLE, funny, so helpful and knowledgeable. She answered all my questions . I learned a lot and had a fun 3 hour date and my girlfriend and I left with a beautiful ring to add to our hands. Angels on earth.

  • 5/5 Sarah P. 2 years ago on Google
    Such an interesting process to make your own piece of jewelry. I was worried I’d be terrible but the staff is super helpful with a can-do attitude about whatever it is you’re hoping to do with your piece, and totally willing to do the “hard parts”. A very friendly atmosphere. I love what I came up with and can’t wait to go back.

  • 5/5 Faith K. 2 years ago on Google
    This was such an amazing and fun. The whole process is very cool learning experience while cresting your own unique piece of jewelry. . Our instructor Jane was top notch. She was very knowledgeable through the whole process.

    The Gem Studio in Provo is truly a gem! We had a girls night here and had a blast and left with a beautiful custom jewelry piece. Jenna was a very helpful and informed instructor. We loved every minute we were there. There was learning, laughs and it was just a great time. I cannot give enough praise to the Gem Studio. Thank you for the fun night, we will be back!
