About Us
Glare Gems Story
Since the company’s inception in 2012. The founding members, Heather S Derengowski and Reuben Walsh pursued the American dream by growing their own company.
After growing up in the business and learning from success and setbacks, they have introduced new ideas and innovative technology to advance the business in today’s evolving consumer markets. Glaregems has
a diverse wealth of industry knowledge specializing in custom design, sales, buying of luxury watches and fine diamond jewelry and collateral loans. Additionally, by offering clients the ability to work with our in-house jewelry designers, as well as manufacturing our own jewelry line, we at Glaregem continue to stay bas head of other jewelers in the industry. The Glaregemstone brand, which is synonymous with superior craftsmanship, has attracted vip clientele from all over the world. Our reputation precedes us, as Glaregems is the highest and most rated jeweler in Manhattan on both Google and Facebook
We also firmly believed that our customers deserved more choices, straightforward information and legendary service. We felt strongly about building a team of passionate, non-commissioned diamond and jewelry experts who put the customer first. (We’re thrilled to share that a few of our customers have even invited our experts to their weddings!)
As the leader in handcrafted engagement rings and beautiful fine jewelry, we’re constantly innovating and looking for new ways to help you discover and design the perfect pieces for every occasion. We strive to be your jeweler for life
