Brand identity + packaging for jewelers & gem sellers · Irvine, CA

Your jewelry is gorgeous, so why does the box look like an afterthought?

Hi, we’re Jasper Gem, a tiny Irvine studio that makes logos, style guides and packaging for independent jewelers and gemstone sellers. Think of us as the friend who finally says, “Babe, the tissue paper has to go.”

Made for

  • Independent jewelers
  • Lapidaries
  • Loose-stone dealers
  • Small-batch ring makers

Messages get answered by an actual human, usually the same business day.

Who we’re for

Three kinds of makers we get weirdly excited about

  1. Independent jewelers

    You solder, set and sell from a bench, a studio or a folding table at the weekend market. The work is solid. Your brand just needs to look as good as the pieces do.

    Usually needs: a logo system + a ring box that isn’t from a catalog

  2. Gemstone sellers & lapidaries

    Loose stones, cabochons, rough. Buyers can’t hold them through a screen, so the logo, the label and the little folded gem paper do all the talking.

    Usually needs: a monogram, gem-paper packets and a style guide for your photos

  3. Capsule collections & first launches

    A bridal line, a first ring drop, a fall capsule. We build the identity and the box together, so they actually look like they’re from the same family.

    Usually needs: the full launch bundle (it’s cheaper that way)

Scene 1 / 3

We start with the loupe, not the logo.

Before we draw anything, we look at your work the way a buyer would: 10× loupe, one stone at a time. Metal tone, cut, the little hallmark you stamp inside the band. That’s where your palette and your mark come from, not a mood board of other people’s brands.

  • Metal & stone palette
  • Hallmark study
  • Monogram sketches

Scene 2 / 3

The box is the second thing they touch.

Your piece shows up in a mailer, a pouch, a sleeve, some tissue. We design all of it: the lid, the insert depth so a ring doesn’t rattle, the card, the seal. You get dielines and printer-ready files, and we’ll happily chat with whichever printer you pick.

  • Dielines
  • Insert & foam specs
  • Stock & foil picks

Scene 3 / 3

Then we hand you the rulebook.

A style guide sounds boring until your cousin tries to make a flyer at midnight. Ours covers logo clear space, colors (hex and Pantone), type, and how to photograph a stone so it still looks like you. It’s a clean PDF you’ll genuinely open again.

  • Logo do’s & don’ts
  • Color & type
  • Photo direction

Concept boards from the sketchbook

Made-up brands, real craft. These are studio concepts rather than client projects, so you can see how we think before you hand us your name.

The newsletter

The Loupe Letter

One email a month: a packaging teardown, a type tip and a stone we’re obsessed with. We write it between invoices, so it’s short.

The timeline question

Okay, so how long until I have a real brand?

How we bill

Per project, by invoice. Half to kick things off, half when your final files land. No monthly anything.

3wks

Roughly how long a logo system takes, from first call to final files.

Stuff people ask us first

Do I need a logo before packaging?

Nope. If you’ve got one, we’ll work with it. If not, we’ll do the logo first so the box isn’t built on sand. That’s the full launch at $4,980.

How many revisions do I get?

Two rounds on every logo and every box. A third round is $140 flat. We’d rather tell you now than surprise you later.

Can you print the boxes too?

We design, you pick the printer. You’ll get printer-ready dielines, and we’ll talk to whoever you choose so the foil and stock come out the way you pictured.

I only sell loose stones. Is this overkill?

Honestly, a logo ($2,380) plus a gem paper packet ($640) is plenty. Skip the rest until you need it.
