Moonstone Necklace | Natural gemstone collection

A bit about us and our lead designer 

Summer Gems is a Barbados-based online boutique that specializes in handcrafted jewelry designs tailored for the contemporary woman.

Our Lead Designer and Creative Director, Kimberley White, meticulously manages every facet of the brand's creation process. She personally handpicks the elements and assembles each piece, bestowing meticulous attention to detail in the finishing. This devotion ensures our designs are not only unique but are also made from premium materials, exemplifying impeccable craftsmanship.

Established in 2015, Summer Gems was born from Kimberley's ambition to own her own business and harness her creative energy. Kimberley, born and schooled on the island, transitioned from her career as a microbiological lab technician - a testament to her versatility and aspiration. The result was a serendipitous fusion of her creative spirit and entrepreneurial ambition.

The Caribbean serves as Kimberley's inspirational muse, influencing the island-inspired pieces that grace our collection. Our range offers something for every woman, with distinctive earrings, anklets, bracelets, and necklaces. We use a wide array of high-quality materials, including crystals, freshwater pearls, semi-precious gemstones, and various metals such as sterling silver, rose gold, and gold-filled. This variety ensures that each piece encapsulates the vibrant and unique spirit of the Caribbean.

What materials are used in our designs?

We design our pieces with sterling silver or 14kt gold-filled materials to ensure their quality and longevity. If other metals are used, this will be clearly specified in the product description.

Pearl Care

Accessorising with pearls is a  classy way of dressing up the simplest outfit but they are also very sensitive and need a bit of extra care to maintain their luster. One of the easiest ways to maintain this cluster is to simply wear them. Allow your natural body oils to caress them and prevent them from drying out. However this does to imply that you slather them with your favourite lotion either. And as we are on the topic keep them away from your perfumes as well.Customer satisfaction is pivotal and we want you to love your pieces. If you are unhappy upon receipt you have a grace period to return your item and qualify for a refund.
