It's been a minute.
The last time I posted here, we were rolling out the Summer Gems Perks program. And honestly? So much has happened since then that I didn't even know where to start. But I'm here now, and I'm ready to catch you up on everything.
If you've been following along on Instagram or shopping at the markets, you already know some of this. But for everyone else, here's the rundown.
We Finally Launched Larimar
This was a big one for me. I've always wanted to add larimar to the collection, but it had to be right. It had to be a beautiful blue, it had to be affordable, and it had to look like it belonged in the Summer Gems world. Not just any old thing.
I think we succeeded.
Larimar has that soft, ocean-inspired blue that feels like home. It fits perfectly into the island vibe we've always carried, and the response has been amazing. If you've been waiting for the right sky blue gemstone, this is it. Shop here
Holiday Sparkle Studs Made a Limited Appearance
We launched a limited collection of Crystal Sparkle Studs for the holidays, and they were so popular that most of them sold out before they even made it to the website. We have a few pairs left, but they're not listed online. If you're interested, reach out to me directly and I'll let you know what's still available.
The Prana Gemstone Series is Here
We started the year with something brand new: the Prana Gemstone Series. These are part of the Gemstone Stud Collection, and they're quickly becoming a fan favorite.
We kicked things off with Garnet in January, added Amethyst in February, and March brought Aquamarine. Right now, we have an amazing lineup that covers the first three months of the year, and we've been gradually adding more gemstones by the month.
Expect to see more of that rollout in the coming weeks. Shop these beautiful aquamarine studs here
Heart Pearls Made a Soft Launch
We also quietly introduced some Heart Pearl pieces. A bracelet and a necklace, both designed with that same soft, wearable energy you expect from Summer Gems. They've been getting a lot of love at the markets, and I'm excited to see where this style goes.
New Teal Gemstone in the Stone Bar Collection
If you love the Stone Bar Bracelets, you'll be happy to know we added a new teal gemstone option to the collection. Same adjustable fit, same stackable style, just one more color to play with.
The Website Got a Refresh
Nothing dramatic, but I've been working on making the shopping experience smoother. Better product pages, clearer descriptions, and an easier flow so you can find what you're looking for without getting lost.
My goal is to make the website feel like you're shopping with me in person. And as always, if you run into any issues, you can reach out to me directly and I'll walk you through it.
Summer Gems Perks is Still Going Strong
If you haven't signed up yet, you're missing out. With Summer Gems Perks, you build points with every purchase, get points for referrals , and insider information . It's my way of saying thank you to the people who keep coming back.
Buddy is Still Here
And of course, Buddy is still the unofficial mascot of Summer Gems. He's been with me through every restock, every market morning, and every late-night packing session. If you've seen him in my stories, you know he's basically part of the team at this point. He keeps me grounded, makes me laugh, and shows up in the background of almost everything I do. Summer Gems wouldn't be the same without him.
What's Next
I'm not slowing down. More gemstones are coming to the Prana Gemstone Series, and I'm working on a few other things I can't wait to share.
If you haven't signed up for Summer Gems Perks yet, now's the time.
And of course, I'll be at the markets. Brighton on Saturdays, and a few pop-ups throughout the year. If you've never stopped by in person, I'd love to meet you.
Thanks for Sticking Around
I know I've been quiet here, but the work has been happening behind the scenes. Every piece, every restock, every market morning is a reminder of why I started this brand in the first place.
So thank you. For shopping, for sharing, for coming back, and for being part of this journey.
Talk to you soon,
Kimberley
