• What are some of Gleem & Co’s most sort after bridal collections? In our bridal collections, the classics always prevail! We work with brides on finding the perfect sets, usually including diamonds and/or pearls. Tennis bracelets, diamond studs, solitaire necklaces and pearl earrings with diamond halos are very classical and elegant. These tend to be more costly, but it’s worth it for the special memories (and you can wear it forever). We’ve even been asked to source tennis bracelets for entire bridal parties!

• What makes Gleem & Co different and special from other jewelers? Having an online presence and being able to source from all around the world definitely helps us differentiate ourselves from local jewelers on a curation level. Instead of seeing pieces that are available near your local jeweler, Gleem offers the best pieces from India, Hong Kong, New York, LA, Paris, Milan and beyond. Being online, we are also able to offer the next level of luxury – finding pieces at your own pace and in the comfort of your home. Finally, our appraisals are best in class. We are completely transparent on how each piece is valued and even offer a discount to appraisal. We’ve also partnered with eBay to create a store so our access to global buyers has expanded rapidly as well.

• Are all the jewelry pieces on Gleem & Co 100% authentic/genuine, and does Gleem & Co offer GIA certificates? We definitely are best in class when it comes to authenticy and appraisals. Gleem has a Master Appraiser who inspects and provides an internationally recognized appraisal report for every single piece. He actually has the distinction of being one of only 46 appraisers in the world accrediated by ASA, the highest body of appraisers. We are completely transparent about the appraisal and pricing process. With our eBay partnership, we are in good company as well- eBay regularly monitors the jewelry category to protect buyers and has risk prevention measures. The eBay Money Back Guarantee program is particularly impressive in protecting buyers against fraud.

• Does Gleem & Co accept returns or refunds? This is another differentiator for Gleem. Other stores will never accept a return, but we completely understand that sometimes a piece isn’t what you thought it would be. So we have a no hassle, free return shipping policy, which is good for 14 days after shipment.

• What types of engagement rings do you think are trending this spring, summer and fall? At Gleem, we see truly individual and timeless rings rising in popularity. Specifically, we have sold high numbers of colored stones and estate rings this season. We’ve even seen big pearl rings with diamond side stones become more popular. eBay did a deep dive into trending engagement rings and found the below statistics:
