Buying jewelry (or designing custom) online can be a bit daunting. But when you know and trust the people you're chatting with, the process becomes much more comfortable! That's why we're so excited to introduce you to the ladies behind the Gem Breakfast jewels. To heat or not to heat, that is the question!
In today's blog, we're chatting about the difference between unheated and heated sapphires, reasons to love them, and things to consider with each type of stone. In today's Meet The Maker, we sat down with Canadian Jewelry Designer, Jilian Maddin.

These ethically sourced and 100% natural diamonds are perfectly imperfect and make such stunning, unique pieces that can be found only at Gem Breakfast. Learn more about these special diamonds in our blog post here.
These designs were created for Gem Breakfast custom clients, while they aren't currently available, they are great inspiration for your custom project. Made By Gem Breakfast is new jewels, sourced and handmade by the Gem Breakfast in house team. All are available for purchase or for customization via our custom process.
We love doing engraving and it is a great way to make your Gem Breakfast piece special. Engraving is all done by hand and is $10 a letter. Please note engraving is considered personalization and your item would be considered final sale. You should only do engraving if you are confident in your ring size, as any resizing could force the jeweler to remove the engraving in the process.

Catherine is amazing at helping you find the perfect piece of jewelry! She has a wide variety of precious stones to pick from to design your own unique piece or select from one of their existing female designed works of art. They do everything from necklaces, earrings, rings, and more. My fiance worked with GM to creare our customized engagement ring with an unheated teal sapphire from Montana set in diamonds. I constantly receive compliments! Check out their IG @gembreakfast & @madebygembreakfast to see more. They also have videos on YouTube too. Highly recommend, easy to connect with, always

My fiance and I worked with Catherine to design a custom engagement ring and also ordered my wedding band through Gem Breakfast. I cannot recommend the experience enough! Catherine is a pro at sourcing stellar diamonds, and is so fun, creative, and patient. She made the process feel effortless and even playful so we could enjoy designing the ring of my dreams! When I reached back out to consider bands (which all had to be remote) she had excellent recommendations and helped me pick the perfect thing. I can't wait to wear these forever!

We went through the bespoke process with Catherine of GB back in the late summer of 2019, and were absolutely thrilled with the results. Catherine is perhaps the MOST responsive person I have ever communicated with via email, as well as extremely knowledgeable and great at explaining things.
We met with Catherine in person at their showroom in SF to check out some rings and different designs to figure out what we like/dislike, etc. During this time, Catherine was so kind and patient with us because we had no idea of what jewelry terms really meant, or even how to really appreciate what we were

Working with Gem Breakfast has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. We have worked with her on several projects (from engagement rings, wedding bands, to necklaces, and earrings) and continue to keep her top-of-mind because of her sincere commitment to providing us with quality unique jewelry. Throughout the whole process, she is very communicative and I truly appreciate all the wonderful work she has done for us.
