About Jill & The Gems

Jill & The Gems is a curated collection of solid gold and sterling silver jewelry, chosen for quality, longevity, and character. Every piece is either vintage, fine, or thoughtfully made, with an emphasis on materials that last and designs that feel considered rather than disposable. This shop exists for people who value substance, craftsmanship, and jewelry with a story behind it.

My interest in gold started long before selling it. Gold has always fascinated me, not just for its beauty, but for its permanence. It doesn’t corrode, it doesn’t lose its value, and it carries history in a way few materials can. Whether it’s an antique chain, a sculptural vintage ring, or a modern piece made to last, gold feels honest to me. It’s meant to be worn, lived in, and passed on.

Sourcing and making are equally important parts of this work. I spend time hunting for pieces that stand out for their construction, weight, and integrity, and I’m intentional about what I bring into the collection. When I make or rework jewelry, the focus is always on balance, durability, and respect for the material. No plating, no shortcuts. Just solid metals, handled carefully.

I’m not interested in trends that come and go. Jewelry should feel personal, enduring, and wearable for years, not seasons. Jill & The Gems is built around that philosophy: fewer pieces, chosen well, meant to stay with you.
