The Gems and Brios Buy Group is a select group of jewelers who purchase the finest gems and pearls available, from the sources that produce them. The group is closed and can only be joined with approval from the list owner. We recommend that a trusted member apply on your behalf if you wish to join. All other applications are evaluated on a case by case basis. Applicants are encouraged to supply as much information about themselves and their jewelry making as possible. If you are a gem or pearl dealer, please do not apply.

Liz, our 'Best Set' winner in the Spring 2009 jewelry design contest, is featured in November with her colorful necklace and earrings. She used amethyst, citrine and keshi pearls from our suppliers, and constructed this delightful piece.
