Gem Studio, the experiential jewelry brand known for its hands-on workshops, is bringing its first Alberta location to CF Chinook Centre in Calgary on Thursday June 18.
Gem Studio Calgary is an interactive space that invites people to dive into the art of handcrafted jewelry with three unique and immersive experiences.
At Gem Studio Calgary, visitors can enjoy:
- Silversmithing Workshops – Get hands-on with fire and tools to craft a custom silver ring from start to finish.
- Charm Workshops – Mix and match from a selection of stunning charms to create a piece that tells your story.
- Permanent Jewelry – Experience the latest jewelry trend with a dainty, clasp-free bracelet or anklet that’s micro-welded for a perfect, seamless fit.
Workshops typically range from 90 minutes to three hours, with prices starting at $65, making them an accessible and unforgettable creative experience.
“Our jewelry making studio is more than just a hands-on workshop, it’s an immersive experience where your creativity becomes something you can wear and cherish,” said Bridgett Jessop, Owner of Gem Studio Calgary. “We can’t wait to welcome friend groups, couples and creative Calgarians in to make their own special pieces!”
It is located on second level of CF Chinook Centre.
Founded in the U.S. by Matt and Lauren James, Gem Studio is an experiential jewelry brand that allows guests to design and handcraft their own custom pieces — from silver rings and charm bracelets to permanent jewelry — in an immersive, hands-on studio setting.
Now expanding across Canada through master franchise partner Founder Brands, Gem Studio is bringing its unique blend of creativity and community to major markets from coast to coast.
“Calgary’s vibrant, experience-driven consumer market and the unmatched reach of CF Chinook Centre made it the ideal home for Gem Studio’s first Alberta location, bringing a fresh, hands-on jewelry-making experience to one of Canada’s busiest retail destinations,” said Jessop.
“By combining creativity, personal expression and leaning into local events and culture like the Calgary Stampede, we give customers a reason to come back, whether they are celebrating a special occasion or looking for a way to connect with friends.
“We are seeing a shift from consumers wanting to simply buy products, to them seeking memorable experiences. Calgary’s creative, social and largely entrepreneurial spirit makes it a natural fit for a concept that combines craftsmanship, self-expression and connection.”
