Jewelry bloggers & Instagrammers: Here’s the list!

1. Katerina Perez

With 400k+ Instagram followers, Katerina is one of the top jewelry bloggers and influencers in the world. She’s been featured in several leading fashion publications, including Vogue, L’Officiel, and Robb Report.

After training at the Gemmological Association of Great Britain and working for Tiffany & Co., Katerina switched careers to start her blog. She wanted to focus on her passion for jewelry and share her original ideas and design views with the world.  She shares creations from established brands as well as newer designers for her community of jewelry lovers.

Other Jewelry Sites & Resources

9. Ganoksin

Ganoksin has been around for over twenty years. They are a jewelry making resource with tons of tutorials and how-to’s. They are a membership site with pricing from $4/mo to $20/mo.

Membership includes access to tutorials and also their popular forum for jewelers where you can ask questions and interact with other jewelers. This is the forum to go to if you have questions about setting, casting, sales policies, pricing…anything jewelry related.

10. Jewelers Helping Jewelers

This is along the same lines as Ganoksin, but it is a jewelry group on Facebook. Ask questions and other jewelers will help you. You need to be a member of the group to participate.

11. Jeweler Profit

The design of this site needs a lot of work but….if you’re a jeweler, David helps you with pricing. If you’re a designer looking for a systematic way to price your jewelry, take a look at David’s book – “Geller’s Blue Book”. He also sends out newsletters to help you make the most of your sales and income. David is a 14th generation jeweler!

12. Aspiring Metalsmiths

As they say on their Facebook page, “This is a friendly and supportive place to talk metal, share business and technical advice, show off your work, and have fun. Anybody with an interest in any type of metalwork can join and participate.” As with Jewelers Helping Jewelers you must be a member of the group.

We hope you found some sites here that you hadn’t heard of before. If you’re looking for more maker sites, take a look at our jewelry making classes post.
