Gemist Raises $6M to Scale the First Full-Stack SaaS Platform for the Jewelry Industry

Gemist, a leading jewelry-tech startup, today announced $6 million in seed funding from Entrada Ventures along with Artemis Fund and Collide Capital. The funding comes amidst strong growth for the company where users are designing more than 14,000 custom jewelry pieces through Gemist’s technology each week. The new funding will be used to further build out Gemist’s full stack jewelry-tech platform with tools across dynamic pricing, advanced rendering, and e-commerce.

Jewelers Problem: Missed Sales from Decades Old Technology and Processes

Despite being a $300B global industry, jewelry remains one of the most technologically underserved categories in retail. The vast majority of custom jewelry sales, especially engagement rings, are still handled through manual and offline processes that are time-intensive for both customers and jewelers. A typical custom jewelry purchase requires hours of work to align on a design vision and create a CAD mockup, all for a purchase that might not even happen. This need to modernize is imperative for the industry as 85% of millennials want personalized options in their shopping experience.

“Gemist has truly helped us scale the custom side of our business. We’ve tried other tools, but nothing comes close to the realism and responsiveness of The Customize Experience.” said Michelle Berlinger, CEO of Berlinger Jewelry. “It cut our design process from days to minutes, and helped customers confidently purchase high-ticket pieces without ever stepping into our showroom.”

Gemist’s Solution: Industry Leading Visualization Tech that Increases Sales

Gemist brings the jewelry industry into the 21st century by providing a fully customizable, white-labeled platform that transforms how customers interact with fine jewelry. Its proprietary visualization engine delivers photorealistic, 3D renders that reflect real-world specs and styling, offering the fast, visual, and deeply personal buying experience today’s customers expect. The platform integrates with any e-commerce tools jewelry companies already use and can be deployed across websites, tablets, and mobile, to help brands close sales online and in-store.

“We’re solving the biggest pain point in the industry: how to confidently sell jewelry online,” said Madeline Fraser, CEO and Founder of Gemist. “For the first time, jewelry companies have a turnkey platform that lets them customize, visualize, and sell their products digitally, just like designing a car or customizing sneakers. We believe every jewelry company should empower their customers with tools to dream big, without friction.”

“Gemist is bringing jewelry sales into the digital age,” said Julie Henley, Partner at Entrada Ventures. “Today’s consumers demand personalization, transparency, and beautiful digital experiences. Gemist delivers all three, empowering the jewelry industry to grow without adding operational complexity.”
