About Jasper Gem · Irvine, CA
Who’s the person about to redesign your ring box?
Short answer: a very small studio that’s a little obsessed with stones, foil and folded paper. Long answer is below, and it’s not boring, we promise.
We work with
- Independent jewelers
- Lapidaries
- Loose-stone dealers
- First-time collection launches
How it started
A pretty ring in an ugly box.
We kept watching makers pour weeks into a piece, then drop it into a generic mailer with a sticker on it.
So Jasper Gem became a studio that only does this: logos, style guides and packaging for people who work with metal and stone. Nothing for restaurants, nothing for dentists. Just jewelry, so we actually know what a prong setting is and why a ring rattles in a box that’s two millimeters too deep.
We’re based at 21 Blossom in Irvine, and we keep the studio small on purpose. The person you email is the person who sketches your monogram. Weird concept, we know.
House rules
Three things we’ll always do
-
Look at the stone first
Your palette comes from your actual work, the metal tone, the cut, the hallmark inside the band. If it could belong to any other jeweler, we start over.
Which means: no mood boards of other people’s brands
-
Tell you the price before the sketch
Every project has a flat number, posted on our services page, and billed in two halves by invoice. Extra revision round? $140. That’s the whole surprise budget.
Which means: half to start, half when files land
-
Hand over files you can really use
Dielines your printer won’t send back, a logo that survives laser engraving, a style guide your cousin can follow at midnight. We’d rather you not need us for the little stuff.
Which means: printer-ready, engraver-ready, human-ready
What’s on the desk
The unglamorous tools behind the glam.
Fancy software helps, but most of our good decisions happen with a few humble things within arm’s reach.
- *10× loupefor the hallmark and the setting
- *Foil & stock swatchesso the brass is brass on paper too
- *A mock ringto test insert depth before it’s printed
- *Pencilsevery monogram starts on paper
