About Gemvara

Gemvara is a Boston-based e-commerce company that specialized in custom-made fine jewelry.

Founded in 2006 by Matt Lauzon and Jason Reuben, Gemvara offered a unique online platform that allowed customers to design and customize jewelry in real-time. The company provided a wide range of options, including engagement rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets, with over 1.5 million design possibilities. Gemvara utilized advanced technology for its customization process, including CAD design and just-in-time manufacturing, ensuring each piece was handcrafted to meet individual preferences. The company was acquired by Richline Group, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, in 2016. Although the direct-to-consumer site has since been closed, Gemvara's legacy continues through its integration with Richline's jewelry manufacturing capabilities, focusing on high-quality, bespoke jewelry.
