Design your own necklace, bracelet, or pair of earrings with the GemBar, our live, visual jewelry builder.

This is the easiest way to build a truly personalized birthstone necklace: pick your own stone (or stack several to represent kids, siblings, or milestone dates), match it to sterling silver, gold-fill, or solid 14K gold, and add an engraved charm for a name, date, or initial. Prices start at $95 for a single-stone design and range up to premium solid-gold and diamond-accented pieces for a true heirloom.

Design Your Own Jewelry Guide

With the GemBar, you can build a custom necklace, bracelet, or pair of earrings by choosing gemstones, metal, chain style, charms, and personalized details.

How GemBar Works
GemBar is our live, visual jewelry builder. As you choose gemstones, metals, chains, and charms, your custom design updates in real time so you can see the piece before you order. Start with one gemstone for a simple keepsake, or add multiple stones to represent children, grandchildren, siblings, partners, or meaningful dates.
How to Choose Stones, Metals, and Meaningful Details
Start with the story you want the piece to tell. Birthstones are beautiful for representing loved ones, while engraved charms can hold names, initials, dates, or short personal messages. Choose sterling silver, gold-fill, or solid 14K gold depending on your style, budget, and how often the piece will be worn. For birthstone inspiration, explore our Birthstone Necklaces, or browse Personalized Gifts for ready-to-give ideas.
Custom Family Necklaces and Meaningful Gifts
