Gemist
Gemist, based in Los Angeles, treats a ring as a set of interchangeable parts: pick a setting style, then a stone, then metal colour, and the configurator assembles the result on screen. Its calling card is the try-at-home box, a set of replica rings posted out so the wearer can live with the look before ordering the real thing. Beyond engagement rings the range covers everyday stackers, pendants and earrings, with lab-grown and natural gemstones side by side.
Best suited to people who know roughly what they like but cannot commit from a photograph, and to buyers of coloured stones, where sapphires and other gems get the same attention as diamonds. It is not a bespoke workshop: designs stay within the platform's component library, so a wholly original drawing is out of scope. Delivery of the finished piece takes several weeks after the sample stage.
