Meridian, particularly the Village at Meridian, is home to many stores that have opened their first locations in Idaho. Traffic to the Village at Meridian has increased significantly with the opening of In N Out, The Lego Store, and Brandy Melville, but that’s not all. Just when we thought the Village couldn’t get any better, it was announced that The Gem Studio would be opening their first location there!

If you’ve never heard of Gem Studio, it’s a jewelry store that takes things to the next level by allowing you to make the jewelry yourself! When you sign up, you can choose from rings, bracelets, pendants, and earrings. It’s about a three-hour class with a professional silversmith who will walk you through making your own jewelry. All of the materials you find there can also be found at your local jeweler, so whatever you buy is definitely good quality!

Everyone is welcome at Gem Studio and they advertise that anyone, no matter their age, can come in and create something unique! And if jewelry isn’t your thing, there are a ton of other fun options including inlay rings, bolo ties, cufflinks, keychains, and even collars for your furry friends.

Although we don’t know the opening day yet, according to Instagram it will be the end of July, so just over a month from now. If you sign up for the VIP list early, you can even get 10% off your first visit!
