For this #MemberMonday, we're thrilled to highlight Mayer & Watt Gems, a first and second-generation business that has been setting the standard in the gemstone industry since 1981. As they put it, "We have always dealt in gemstones that 'turn us on!' We do not buy what we think we can sell but rely on our gemstones to sell themselves with their beauty and uniqueness." Their passion for gemstones extends to exploring new deposits and varieties, continually adding to "the infinite palette of natural color in our world." In 2015, they made history as the first colored gemstone company in the U.S. to launch an educational app, blending marketing with learning in the digital age. We celebrate the people behind this journey of inspiration, staying true to their tagline: “We deal in inspiration...naturally.”
