I took my girls to the Gem Studio as part of their Christmas gifts and we had an amazing time. They are 14, 18, and 20 and I would feel pretty safe saying they all had an excellent time. Our silversmith, Liv, was fantastic, personable and walked us through the process with ease. She gave us tips and ideas throughout the whole process. I appreciated the fact that before we did anything, we were given a rundown on the price breakdown so we would have a rough idea of what things would cost. Between the 4 of us, we each made a ring with a stone in it (stones are clearly priced on the back as you choose the-ours ranged from $25-56) and 3 "stacker rings" which were buy 2 get 1 free - total of 4 gem rings and 12 stackers and my total price was $510. Luckily I had a Black Friday discount for 30% off. So is it expensive, yes. Is it a fun, memorable experience, absolutely. Could you purchase a ring somewhere else for cheaper, probably. If there was anything I struggled with throughout the entire 3 hours process, I would say it was the tipping at the end. Liv was amazing, and a tip was absolutely deserved, but how much is appropriate? I just spent nearly $400 on rings, so do I tip 10%? 20% like at a restaurant? Or is it appropriate to tip a dollar amount per person in the group? I don't know! Besides that, I love being able to wear a memory that I now share with my daughters.

If you are looking for a fun and unique experience this place is just that! You basically make your own jewelry along with the help of amazing employees. Book a session, which last about three hours, pick some stones out, and get creative on making your own rings, necklaces, bracelets, etc. I have been twice and both times it was so fun. I will say it is on the expensive side. I think on avg your item will be about $100….but for a special occasion and a unique item you really can’t go wrong. I know the rings I have made are only unique to me and were done in celebration of a life mile stone. In addition to the fun of making your own item I wanted to especially say the employees they have here are beyond amazing! They are so helpful, creative, patient and informative! Both times I have gone they have had all new people but both times they were great. They definitely make the experience that much better!!

Misleading pricing. They give you a whole $5 off for a good review, for those wondering how they got so many 5 stars. Takes too long with not enough direction from the teacher, or they just do it for you. Insanely Overpriced!!!!! Deposit is not returned or applied to your purchase (unearned revenue). Completely unsatisfied with this $400 dollar ring making experience. If they were clear of their pricing I wouldn’t have done this at all. Booking fee: (they call it a deposit online so you think you’ll get it back) $5.00 per person Base fee: just a silver ring $75.00 Gems: lowest priced I saw was $22 Embellishments: $15-60 Additional pieces: $20-150 One piece will run you at least $110 and it will be a plain boring tiny gem ring you could buy on Amazon for $10 Also, it took 3 hours!!

I'm all about experiences with my kids and this one was definitely worth it! We were all engaged and intrigued by the whole process. We had ages 4 on up to teenagers and myself who were all excited about creating our own piece of jewelry. Skylie and Cole are the best!! They were engaged with the kids, letting them be hands on and trusting them while walking them through every step. Their ability to do everything with such ease and quickness was impressive. There are many stones to choose from when you first arrive, this is your first step. Then they have a few other design options to make your piece uniquely yours. If you want to make a fun memory with your loved ones, this place is definitely worth it! Skylie and Cole were the sweetest and best ones to work with!!

Visiting Gem Studio in Salt Lake was an fun experience. It's an exceptionally welcoming environment that instantly puts you at ease. The studio boasts a remarkable selection of high-grade materials, offering an array of choices for creative expression. Our highlight of the night was our instructor, Skye, whose expertise and warm teaching style elevate the experience. Skye’s ability to guide and inspire, coupled with her knowledge of jewelry making, made the session into a delightful journey of learning and creativity. The combination of the studio's inviting atmosphere, premium materials, and Skye's passionate instruction makes Gem Studio a top-tier destination for anyone looking to explore the art of jewelry making in Utah.

My cousin and myself came from out to town and went with our aunt. My cousin had heard about this place and had looked forward to doing it for so long and it lived up to everyone's expectations and more. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The studio was so aestetically pleasing. Koby was the most amazing host and helper. He helped us feel relaxed and at ease when we were anxious about doing it wrong. He was amazingly skilled and helped make everything go so smoothly. We will be going back the next time we're in town (I'm from Vancouver, Wa) or if a Gemstudio pops up Portland we will be first in line! We all can't stop staring at the pieces we made and they feel so nice and high quality. Over the moon impressed overall.

My 9 yr old spotted this place during our 12 group stint in SLC. When we went on to see what it was about the staff was warm and welcoming. Clara helped my daughter through the whole process. (Which she didn't have to do, but took the time to do.) She let my daughter be hands on and was very informative with my daughter through the whole process. She even engaged my 3 yr old, encouraging her to hammer scrap metal and make various things with the colored stones. I can not recommend this place (or Clara) enough. Oh and shout out to the gentlemen who made the girls some cotton candy.

I loved the gem studio! It was such a fun experience and our instructor was very kind! I love the two stone ring that we made. Thanks to help from ellie, it looks amazing. My only complaint and why it’s not a full five stars is I am disappointed with our inlay. I think the kyanite we used should not have been an option as it is a very weak stone and although we did many big pieces it all turned to dust when ground down. I wish we would have known before. We would have chosen a heartier stone.

I was unprepared to be here for 3+ hours. But that’s how long this takes. You spend a lot of time just sitting and doing nothing because the instructor has to do a lot of stuff for you. And can only help one person at a time. So what could be quick, involved and rewarding is actually just incredibly drawn out and boring. I do love what I made, but the experience was so arduous. I think lots of people can enjoy this, just go in with the right expectation. I personally won’t be back.

Caden Tudor was our instructor and he was amazing! He told us details about each stone which was really helpful in choosing the stone you pick. I took my sisters as a Christmas gift and surprised them in coming here! Caden Tudor was super patient and kind. This place is awesome & you get to make a forever piece of jewelry that you’ll have the rest of your life. Had the best time and I highly recommend it! Ask for Caden T! -Mallory

I loved making my rings at the Gem Studio with McKenna! The process of making my pieces was so much fun, I had never experienced anything like this before. McKenna had such great ideas to help make my pieces unique to what I wanted, and such a stunning finish! McKenna made my first time experience at Gems absolutely unforgettable, and something that I will always remember. I will treasure these pieces forever!!

Celebrated an anniversary with my girlfriend here, and we had a lovely time. Italia was a wonderful teacher and very kind. The vibes of the staff and location were great! It’s a more expensive date night than our usual, but we also created beautiful, quality pieces together that are already so special for us, so it was very worth it. We’re already planning our next trip back for some permanent jewelry

I absolutely loved my session with Silversmith Sage at the Salt Lake City location. I made 2 rings and felt comfortable doing so as I was instructed when needed and told the prices up front. This helped with the creation and decision making process. The space was spacious, clean, and creative. Our group was not packed so the entire session felt very personalized. I would highly recommend doing a workshop!

Emma was amazing! She was so cute and had so much personality. She made the experience so fun and informative. My Mother-in-law ended up making her ring a little too loose and Emma insisted they make it right. So they quickly redid a few things! My MIL was so appreciative and thankful that her ring ended up PERFECT! Over-all a great night. Someone needs to give Emma a raise for going above and beyond ❤️.

My experience was amazing! But the product didn’t match the price. Took my daughter for her birthday. We had a great time. The staff were amazing and tried to help make a quick product. Wish there was more time spent for quality. For 175.00 plus you have to tip for each project. Not worth the cost of the end product. But if you are all about experience do it.Would loved it if it could be smooth.

I have been here twice and worked with Mia both times. She is so kind and helps explain each step. She makes it a comfortable and friendly environment. She’s nice and makes me want to keep coming back to the studio. She explains all the different options well and easy to follow along. I love the rings we made today with her. She’s an awesome employee and definitely knowledgeable. Overall 10/10

Really fun activity! I went with my Dad for his birthday, loads of fun. He made a pendant, I made a ring. It took about three hours and all the workers were super nice. I would say that they could use more staffing. So one staff for a party of two. We had three in our group total and the other person was on a different step then us so there was some downtime. Over all, a really fun night.

me & my friend were helped by Joe!! he was THE BEST!! i got to make the coolest ring & he was so fun!! we are thankful for our first experience being a banger & are excited to come back again sometime :)) Joe was wonderful & very educated & the whole staff made us feel very welcomed!! shoutout to the staff for the memory & joe for helping me make the sick cowgirl hat ring

So much fun! I was so pleased with how my earrings turned out - as someone who doesn't have much creativity, I was a bit nervous but wow! Clara was fantastic walking us through every process step-by-step, incredibly patient and knowledgeable. Everyone in our party walked away with one-of-a-kind jewelry that looks like we bought it in a high end store. Thanks, Gem Studio!

Amazing workshop, Italia was amazing and she did such a great job walking us through the process. Grace and Rachel also helped, and were awesome to work with, as well. We had such a fun time with the others at our table. ***One year later, and Abe was our instructor this time around, and it was as perfect as the first time! I did two necklace pendants.

Caden Tudor is an absolute master at his art, he is very knowledgeable about the stones and can help you find the right stone for your personal needs. We had a sister Christmas date here and it was an absolute blast! I will be coming back to see Caden in the future. Thank you Caden you are a true asset to this company!

Took my sister here for her birthday gift and really enjoyed our time! Our instructor was very nice and fun to hang out with during the downtime. My only complaint is that the music is pretty loud, along with a room full of people chatting and i get sensitive to noise but wore my earphones to drown some of it out.

Love this place so much, had been wanting to book a class here for so long and the wait was definitely worth it. All the people that work there are so nice and welcoming especially our instructor Clara who made sure we got exactly what we wanted and was so friendly. Definitely recommend going to Gem studio!!:)

My sister brought us here for a Christmas surprise and Caden Tudor was our instructor and he was amazing! He explained everything to us and also told us the properties of our stones. We had such a wonderful time and now have matching stone rings for me and my sisters. We will never forget this experience!

Liv and her team were so kind and genuine which made the experience even more fun for our party. They helped us make the most beautiful pieces as well and gave us the best experience we could have asked for. Incredibly thankful for the way we were treated and will definitely be back again in the future.

My husband and I went to gem studio for our anniversary this past year and had an amazing time creating our own jewlery! Our teacher, Italia was so patient and informative and walked us through every step. Our pieces turned out beautiful! I would highly recommend this experience for a special occasion.

I was skeptical about this place not having any simplistic guy bands. Although, my wife and I came here on a date and we were pleasantly surprised. Loved making my in-lay ceramic band and my wife enjoyed making her ring as well! The silversmiths are patient and kind. All around Great experience!

Caden was so amazing & it was a really fun experience! he did a great job guiding us through and helping us make decisions on what would look/be best! the rings were cool and high quality! I knocked a star off cause it is really expensive, the least expensive ring is still over $100! :(

Overall such a great and fun once in a life time opportunity! If you’re debating come here, DO IT! I traveled all the way here from Maryland and it was so worth it. My instructor was so thorough and answered all my questions and explained every step in such detail! Love love love!

Great place loved coming here it was so much fun to make rings. They give you training on how to make everything and then you actually make the ring from scratch. It’s pretty cool and so much fun. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nice custom ring or date idea

We went for my best friends birthday, honestly such a great experience. It was little long however that’s just what it takes to make high quality jewelry! Just plan a solid 2-3 hours to do it. The instructor was also quite a pleasant lady! 10/10 would recommend and go again.

Super fun, interactive, and rewarding experience. The employees are very personable and helpful every step of the way. There are so many options for each step of the process so you can make something unique and to your taste. Would come here multiple times if I could!

I had a great time at the gem studio! My instructor was so kind and helpful! Really easy to talk to and helped make my jewelry stunning! She went above and beyond to encourage me and help out when I needed. I love how they turned out! Everyone was really welcoming!

We did this for my mother in laws birthday! It was so much fun and super cool to see the jewelry come altogether throughout the whole experience! Chris did great reassuring us that things won’t be too complicated and safe throughout the whole time. Would recommend!

i went with 5 of my girlfriends and it was such a fun night! we loved the whole ring making process. Our instructor (Lexi) was laid back and very patient with us. The selection of stones to choose from was impressive. i can’t wait to go back and make a pendant!

What a fun experience! Caden T was so helpful making our ring and bracelet for us since my boyfriend has limited use of his hands. He made the extra effort to ensure my boyfriend was included in every step of the process. Caden is so talented, kind and funny!

Coby was out silversmith and he is an incredible, knowledgeable, and fun guide for this process! I cannot believe we made the pieces that we did, they are stunning! The whole studio is a great creative environment to be in, and we couldn't have had more fun!

Oh my gosh it was so fun!! My husband and I came here for part of our honeymoon, and Chris was so helpful and kept us comfortable and laughing the entire time. He even let us follow him to the back and watch the parts he had to do!! 11/10, would recommend.

I had such a good time!! Our silver smiths were the best! They were so sweet and understanding of my epilepsy and how shakey I was! It’s such a good environment, great music, and good people! Such a fun activity and cute date! Definitely recommend coming!

We had a great time making our WEDDING BANDS! They made this such a special memory for us. Anna was our instructor and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Great music, instruction, and over atmosphere. Can’t thank yall enough for such a great night!

This was so much fun. Abe was a great help. I love how my ring turned out. This is a great activity to do with a friend, a spouse, or a group. There are so many options to customize the jewelry to your liking and you end with a quality finished product.

We had an amazing time! Totally recommend Coby! He knows what he is doing and was really patient with all of us! It is an extremely fun activity and we all had had different styles but everything turned out perfect! 10000% will be coming back!

Had a super fun time with my mom & sisters making rings! It was the perfect girls night & Chris was an awesome help with making the rings and walking us through each step! Highly recommend for a night out with friends or significant others!

My silversmith, Kaitlyn at City Creek, was so nice and fun to hang out with! She was so helpful during the whole process. From start to finish, the whole experience was so much fun! Making the rings was a blast. I will definitely be back!!

It was not something I was planning on, but my friend wanted to so bad. Coby was so amazing and patient and helped me create something I absolutely love (I don't wear jewelry). I haven't taken it off and am so thrilled how it turned out!

Came here for a date with my lover and we had the best time! Greta helped us make the most amazing rings. Highly recommend as a date night or for any occasion really! Such a fun creative experience you get to wear and remember for ages

I had an amazing experience picking and creating my own ring. My instructor was so kind and helpful. I really felt engaged as I got to be apart of the whole process! I will definitely be going back to make another ring!

Great, fun time. I was able to make two beautiful necklaces. Adelaide was so great with suggestions and helping to make my necklaces perfect. I love that I could bring my own cabochons in. Will definitely do it again.

Such a cool experience! I made matching rings with my best friend of 25 years and we absolutely love them. Ab was our silversmith and he was so fun to work with, we laughed the whole time! Definitely recommend!

This place is so cute and fun! Our teacher was so sweet and flexible and let us make three different items. This is a super great date night or just a fun activity if you have some extra cash.

Mckenna was AMAZING!! The experience was so fun, interactive and educational. Paying for an experience AND a life long piece of jewelry is worth every penny. Thank you for such a great night!!

Haley C was our silversmith and she was incredible! Made a bracelet and ring, both turned out flawless. Make a bracelet!!! They’re timeless and so unique. Already planning our return trip.

Loved my experience from start to finish. I went by myself and had a blast! Can’t thank Coby enough for helping me make some beautiful pieces that hold so many memories. Highly recommend!

I came with my girlfriend and Skye was our silversmith. She was so sweet and knowledgeable. The process was a little long because of the full class but overall it was a great experience!

Made such a fun girls night! Greta was our instructor and was so knowledgeable and helped make our silversmithing visions become a reality! So fun and super high quality

Lydia is literally the best ever!! But really all the staff was great!! Best location in my opinion!! Big thank you to Lydia for being super patient with us!!:-)

Great date night kind of activity. Really enjoyed making the inlay ring, putting a bunch of rocks in random location and seeing the unique pattern that came out.

The Gem Studio experience was AMAZING!! The staff is fun, friendly and very knowledgeable. I loved creating my own custom jewelry. It was such a fun experience!

So so fun! We had Italia and she was super efficient and made sure the pieces were the perfect fit. Totally worth it and turned out super pretty

Awesome and fun activity. Great place to assist making your jewelry. The instructor does most of the making but for a beginner that makes sense.

This was such a fun time. Italia was amazing. She was extremely friendly and made the experience even better. Best way to spend my birthday !!!

Best granddaughter grandmother day ever. Caden was the most patient and skilled instructor. He made the whole experience so fun and memorable!
