Gem Studio, a hands‑on jewelry‑making business founded in 2017 in Provo, Utah, is set to open a new studio inside Frisco’s Stonebriar Centre. The announcement, posted on the company’s website, highlights the brand’s commitment to community‑driven creativity and to providing families and friends a place to design and hand‑craft custom gemstone and silver pieces, from charms to permanent jewelry.
Local impact and family‑friendly experience
Frisco residents will soon have a neighborhood destination where they can learn the art of jewelry making under the guidance of skilled artisans. The studio’s format encourages participation from all ages, making it an attractive outing for families seeking a wholesome, educational activity that aligns with traditional values. By offering a space where parents can work alongside their children, Gem Studio supports the pillar of traditional families that HLL champions.
Supporting a global mission
Beyond its local footprint, Gem Studio operates a nonprofit arm called 1 Heart 1 Mind. The organization provides education and housing for more than 250 at‑risk children in Uganda. The new Frisco location will continue to generate support for this mission, allowing shoppers to contribute to a cause that reflects Christian compassion and the importance of caring for vulnerable children worldwide.
Expansion plans
According to the company’s website, the Stonebriar Centre studio is the first of two new Texas locations. A second site is slated for Dallas, further extending Gem Studio’s reach in the Dallas‑Fort Worth metroplex. The expansion underscores the brand’s confidence in the region’s entrepreneurial climate and its alignment with Texas’s tradition of supporting small businesses.
What to expect
Visitors to the upcoming Frisco studio can expect a welcoming environment stocked with a curated selection of gemstones, silver wire, and tools needed to bring personal designs to life. The studio will also host occasional workshops and events, providing opportunities for local artisans and hobbyists to share techniques and inspire one another.
Community response
Local business leaders have praised the addition, noting that Gem Studio adds a unique, experience‑based retail offering to Stonebriar Centre’s already diverse mix of shops and restaurants. The venture aligns with Frisco’s ongoing efforts to attract innovative, family‑oriented businesses that enhance the city’s quality of life.
Gem Studio’s arrival is a reminder that the city’s growth continues to be driven by entrepreneurs who blend creativity, faith‑based philanthropy, and a commitment to the local economy.
