Gemstone Selection
The heart of any exceptional piece of jewelry lies in the gemstones that adorn it. At Shelby Gem Factory, we pride ourselves on our extensive selection of synthetic gemstones, offering you the opportunity to choose from a wide range of cuts, clarities, and colors to create a truly unique piece.

Color and Carat
From the deep, rich hues of sapphires to the mesmerizing brilliance of diamonds, our collection of synthetic gemstones allows you to explore a diverse palette of colors and carat weights to complement your personal style.
Metal Options
The foundation of any piece of jewelry is the metal that supports and showcases the gemstones. At Shelby Gem Factory, we offer a wide range of metal options, each with its own unique properties and aesthetic appeal.
Gold varieties
Whether you prefer the timeless elegance of yellow gold, the contemporary appeal of white gold, or the warm, sophisticated tones of rose gold, our team of experts will help you select the metal that best accentuates your gemstones and personal style.
Platinum and silver
For those seeking a more durable or affordable option, we also offer platinum and sterling silver as alternative metal choices, each with its own distinct advantages and visual appeal.
Unique Design Elements
Elevating a piece of jewelry from the ordinary to the extraordinary often lies in the intricate details and innovative techniques employed by our skilled craftsmen.
