THE GEM VAULT
23
Turntable Junction
Flemington
By: Karen Muller
The Gem Vault
in Flemington,
NJ has been in the business of pro-
viding expert custom jewelry
design for over 30 years. Widely
known for award winning designs
and a specialization in fine colored
gemstones,
The Gem Vault
distin-
guishes itself with quality crafts-
manship and personalized atten-
tion to every customer.
Bill Brewer, owner of
The Gem
Vault,
has nearly 40 years of expe-
rience as a gem cutter, gold/plat-
inum and silversmith, and fine col-
ored gem expert. He and his staff
offer a wide range of expertise to
meet the needs of their customers.
Designers Jason Baskin, master
gem cutter and model maker, and
Sharon Curtiss-Gal, goldsmith and
expert pearl stringer, have won
many design awards, both domes-
tically and internationally. Darren
DeMarco, master jeweler and stone
setter, also provides expert engrav-
ing, a skill that is not always avail-
able at many jewelry stores. Carol
DeMarco, the store’s sales consult-
ant, offers many years of experi-
ence to provide friendly, personal-
ized assistance to each customer.
“
Custom design is a creative and
exciting endeavor and our goal is to
provide every customer with exact-
ly what they want”, said Brewer.
“
We walk the customer through
the entire process, every step of
the way.”
When a customer stops in to the
store, they are welcomed to
browse the showroom and speak
with not only Carol, but also the
designers, who spend a great deal
of time talking with customers and
exchanging ideas. The team at
The
Gem Vault
works together to
guide the customer with great care
and confidence.
Free design consultation and
drawing services are provided, and
once a design is chosen, the piece
is either assembled in metal, or a
prototype carved from wax is pro-
duced, depending on the intricacy
of the piece. The customer may
come in to see the prototype and
has the opportunity to try it on and
make changes if needed. Then,
Jason casts the wax in metal, the
casting is sanded and polished, and
the separate parts are assembled.
Once the metal is fully assembled,
the stones are set and the final tex-
tures are applied. Customers are
always welcomed to come in and
be a part of each step, from start to
finish.
“
We cater to a wide spectrum of
people,” said Brewer. “From the
person who wants to take a stone
from their grandmother’s ring and
place it into a simple pendant, to
someone looking for a sophisticat-
ed, high fashion design, we have
the skills and expertise to help any
customer.”
In addition to custom design
service,
The Gem Vault
offers
expert repair of jewelry and dam-
aged gems, appraisals, pearl and
bead restringing, and cutting of
colored gems, all done in house by
master craftsmen.
The Gem Vault
is located at
23
Turntable Junction, Flemington,
New Jersey and can be reached at
908-788-1770
or by email at
