Founder of Jems By Jem, John started ring-making in 2006 after falling in love with his first commissioned Masonic ring after joining the Lodge. He tutored under Gordon Spurlock and spent years perfecting techniques such as ‘gold-firing’ and continued to serve fellow Masons up until his passing in 2021. John’s legacy continues to live on through his ring designs and his love for the Lodge.

Owner, wife, and business partner, Brenda runs Jems By Jem and created our name based on John’s initials. If you’ve ordered a ring or asked a question, Brenda has been there to help customers, assemble rings, and fulfill orders.

Inventory Specialist and lifelong friend, Sharon keeps the business organized by managing our large inventory and prepping blank rings and emblems for assembly.

IT Specialist and Website Manager, as well as niece to John and Brenda, Brooke is responsible for breathing new life into the website and giving Jems by Jem its new look.
