Gem Jewelry
HistoryGem Jewelry Boutique evolved from Laura Kitsos Jewelry. Laura's handmade pieces sold well on the summer art-show circuit and did just as well in retail environments around the country. Always possessing an interior desire, Laura pitched the retail idea to her husband and they became partners in their first venture, Gem A Jewelry Boutique, opening in Oak Park, just outside of Chicago. Always featuring other carefully chosen designers as well as Gem exclusives, they grew the store and moved into the boutique area of Bucktown, just recently celebrating 5 years in business. Gem serves the gift-givers, self-rewarders (and why not?!), and the wedding/engagement rebels seeking an alternative to the mass-marketed diamond industry.SpecialtiesGem Jewelry Boutique is where the design of well-priced quality jewelry and a creative environment come together with friendly, knowledgeable sales people. One-of-a-kind pieces, made on premise, connect with customers looking for soul in their jewelry. Written up in Vogue, People Style-Watch, Chicago Magazine, Lucky, and many others, Gem is unique among the crowded boutique scene.
