Our adventure begins in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, our hometown for nearly 35 years. Our small family has an old adage that may be familiar to you as well: "From a little acorn a mighty oak grows." We aspire to create something unique for you from our hearts. We selected the name "Gemdrops of the Falls" to reflect our love for the beautiful natural waterfalls in our community.

We believe in making beautiful jewelry that we would like to wear ourselves. We work primarily in Sterling Silver and 14 Karat Gold. Our favorite creations are made with Semi-Precious Gemstones, Freshwater Pearls, and Venetian Glass from Murano, Italy. Therefore, there is no compromise in the quality of each piece; if we wouldn't choose to wear it neither should you.

Our entire family comes together to create Gemdrops of the Falls jewelry. We are the third and fourth generations from our grandfather, an accomplished watchmaker and jeweler in Riga, Latvia during WWII. We try our best to follow in his legacy and continue the dream.
