Customers of digital gemstone marketplace Gembridge can now design jewellery directly with a diverse range of world-class designers and artisans around the world, from New York to Geneva, Beirut to Bangkok.

Vatche Aghjayan, the New York-based designer and one of America’s top jewellers, has created a statement ring with a Gembridge customer in Asia.

“The Gembridge team found us a stunning pastel pink stone in New York, then got Vatche, one of 5th Avenue’s top designers, to work with us,” said Matt Cullen, who commissioned the ring from Singapore. “The experience was great, seamless and lots of fun. And, needless to say, we love the result!”

Gembridge has completed other pieces of bespoke jewellery, ranging in price from US$1,500 to US$35,000, with designers in New York for a Malaysian customer, in Beirut for an Australian customer and in Bangkok for an English customer. The Gembridge community also features bespoke designers in Geneva and London.

Creating a one-of-a-kind, deeply personal piece with Gembridge starts with a call hosted by Jean Jureidini, Gembridge’s Master Jeweller.

“The personal touch is what makes us unique in the online world,” says Jean. “Co-creating jewellery with people, and helping them tell stories, is a journey we all take together.”

Customers explore Gembridge’s global catalogue and curated collections to find their Perfect Stone. For something extra special, a request is sent to Gembridge’s global experts to source. Nick Marrett, Gembridge CEO, said: “Our customers can now co-create directly with the talented professionals who design for the luxury jewellery houses. Today, we deliver an experience that money can’t usually buy.”
