Beyond crafting timeless and one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces, The White Gem strives to empower other women to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams.
No matter how much we discuss success stories involving a few high-performing founders, entrepreneurs, and professionals choosing unconventional ways to achieve unconventional success, more discussions are needed about their journeys for the world to know more and get inspired. Among these rare gems, a few female founders have turned heads and how with their incredible brands. Doing that in the world of statement jewelry is one such highly driven founder, Emily Galsky, the heart and brain behind “The White Gem.” It is an increasingly popular jewelry brand thriving on the highest quality standards, innovative designs and timeless elegance.
Emily Galsky, for her passion for fine jewelry and an eye for timeless elegance, founded The White Gem, which reflects her creativity and vision. Speaking about her journey, Emily says she has always been an entrepreneur, starting her career by creating a swimwear brand, Aquamarina Swimwear in Lima, Perú. This led to a feature in Sports Illustrated. She later moved to Miami and sold Aquamarina. Her love for fashion inspired her to embark on a new journey in the world of jewelry. She envisioned creating a brand that would stand apart from the rest. While navigating through challenges in a competitive and saturated industry and learning her lessons, Emily went ahead and created high-end and innovative jewelry designs. She pursued GIA certification in diamond expertise, trained in New York to gain greater knowledge and expertise and forged ahead in creating The White Gem.
She emphasises that her deep passion and love for jewelry, craftsmanship, and artistry led her to become a founder in the industry. She ensures that statement jewelry pieces are created, and each piece has a story to tell. She also highlights how exclusivity and luxury define the market in the jewelry industry, and The White Gem thrives on that. It has today grown beyond being just a jewelry brand.
Throwing light on the various challenges on her path, Emily Galsky says that resilience has played a pivotal role in her success thus far. One of her biggest challenges was stepping back into the classroom to master the art of diamonds and gemmology while managing her business. She understood how essential it was for her to combine her passion for design with deep technical expertise to succeed in the industry. Her understanding and growing experiences taught her an invaluable lesson – to invest in herself for long-term success. Today, the knowledge and experiences she has gained have allowed her to hand-select the finest stones, ensuring that each piece from The White Gem meets the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.
Speaking about what sets The White Gem apart, she says that it is a celebration of individuality and exclusivity. Their mission is to create stunning and unique pieces tailored for clients who already “have it all” but are still looking for show-stopping statement jewelry. Uncompromising quality, exclusive and unique designs, and a lifelong guarantee are a few factors that have helped the brand stay distinctive in the jewelry market.
Beyond her passion for jewelry and design, Emily Galsky’s biggest motivation comes from being an example to her children. Building a business from the ground up in a new city wasn’t a walk in the park, but she wanted to show them that hard work and perseverance always pay off. The White Gem today has grown as a symbol of empowerment.
Through her journey, Emily hopes to inspire more women to follow their entrepreneurial dreams. She says, “Success doesn’t come overnight, and challenges are inevitable; however, anything is achievable with passion, dedication, perseverance and a strong vision.”
She highlights her brand’s (@thewhitegem) goals, “Our goal is to uplift and encourage women to chase their ambitions, break barriers, and create something truly remarkable.”
