Lottie Szwed, Jewels & Jem’s president, has worked designing individualized and unique jewelry for over 25 years. With her associates, she has worked in wholesale jewelry design and repair, owned and operated a retail jewelry store and, over the past dozen years or so, concentrated all of her talent and energy on building a personalized jewelry business focused on a growing group of individual and corporate customers. Past experience working briefly “on the bench”  insures that a hands-on, working knowledge of the process of jewelry creation underlies the beauty of each piece. 

When you decide to work with Jewels & Jems, you’re working with experts. From the initial meeting, where as much time as needed is spent to determine what exactly you hope to create, through the process of reviewing wax samples and selecting the stones, to the moment when you put the piece on for the first time, you’ll have a skilled guide at your side. Jewelry purchases are important and emotional. Let Jewels & Jems share your concerns, your hopes and your joy!
