Hi, I’m Wen, and I run Wen Gem Studio from New York City and the sunny Singapore. This all started with me as a gemstone collector who loved anything pretty and sparkly✨. Curiosity turned into obsession, and I eventually learned gem cutting so I could shape the stones I loved with my own hands.
Now Wen Gem Studio is a one-woman show – I source, cut, polish, photograph, and fuss over each gem before it reaches the shop. I also design and work with seasons jewelers to craft custom jewelry pieces from the gemstones that I cut.
Before this, I was academically trained in computer science and spent most of my life in tech sales – deals, meetings, pipelines, the whole thing. After doing that for 9 years, I decided to leave that behind and pour all of my time (and savings) into building this gemstone studio. Think of this space as part gem collection, part yappy entrepreneurial journal, one stone at a time.
Most of the stones here are natural, cut & polished facet by facet, with an emphasis on maximizing color and character, rather than perfection on paper. I try to keep things as transparent as possible – origin, treatment, and the little quirks that give each gem its personality.
Thanks for hanging out with me here – this feels to me like we’re chatting about stones over a glass of wine 🍷. If any of the stones catches your eye and you’d like more photos, videos, or just to talk gems, you’re always welcome to reach out 💖.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a return policy?
Yes. Once a stone is received, you have 72 hours to decide if you want to keep it or return it. If you decide to return the stone, you can mail it back to me in the same packaging and the postage will be covered by you.
However, if the stone is returned with damages (scratches etc), the refund request will be declined, and the stone will be sent back to you.
When will I get my order?
I will work quickly to ship your order as soon as possible. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an notification with further information. Delivery times vary depending on your location. All shipments will be tracked too.
Please note that for New York City orders, I will hand over the stone to you face to face - we can meet for coffee or matcha :). This way, you also get to see the stone under the sun. I will reach out to your after the order is placed to arrange a time & place.
Where are your gemstones sources and manufactured?
Most of the stones are sourced from mother earth with no treatments unless otherwise indicated. I carefully select whom I source the rough stones from, to ensure high quality. Once in a while I do cut synthetic stones and some of them will be posted on the website.
Most of the stones are cut In my little home studio in Singapore / NYC!
How much does shipping cost?
The shipping cost is calculated at checkout based on the shipping address you enter. I use global couriers such as DHL and UPS. If you need the item insured, additional cost will be added. Feel free to drop me an email after your order.
