We visit this store every time we go to Wilmington, the owner Mary and her Mother are so very helpful, they will take the time to help you choose what you are looking for, repair your jewelry, and box it up for you. We live in NJ, but love the hospitality there!

What a great store. The staff has always gone above and beyond to help our family. I have purchased several pieces from this establishment and have had nothing but stellar customer service. We have vacationed in the area for the past 8 years. And even though we have limited time on vacation we always make time to stop at Gems4u.

Beautiful gems with amazing customer service! They had reasonable prices and the worker stood outside to return my phone to me when I left without it, which I thought was very sweet. They also resized a necklace that I wanted so it would fit to my liking♡

A lovely shop run by lovely people! Also super helpful and super nice, they are not only very knowledgeable on their products, they will wrap and/or fix just about anything you need on the spot. Definitely one of my must stop spots when I’m downtown. I’m very proud to shop local, and very proud to count Gems4U as one of Wilmington’s local treasures!

The mother & daughter duo at GEMS4U are awesome! I love these ladies! They're so friendly & helpful & really know their stuff. I mostly just buy gemstones & rocks but the handmade jewelry is incredible! They sell local art as well which shows they have great taste for beautiful things. This is the only shop in Wilmington that sells natural gemstones. Definitely check them out!

You will not be disappointed.

This place is so fun to browse -- there's always something new to see, and it's always so bright and clean. Really good energy! One of my favorite features is that you can often watch the owner work on her wire wraps right there in the shop. She is one of the most caring, genuine people I've encountered in the small business scene here, and her mother is so sweet! I've never had a bad experience in this shop and I recommend them to anyone who is looking for quality, affordable stone wraps.

The best jewelry store in Wilmington! Everything is unique and handmade. Most of the items are made in store or are locally mined. The owner and staff are very hard working and will take requests. I wanted a piece of lapis wire wrapped with a wolf charm on it for sentimental reasons and I got exactly what I wanted. They offered free water and chocolates too which made me feel very cared about. I had mentioned it was my anniversary and Mary, the owner, gave me a drawstring bag of unpolished decoration/filler stones as a little bonus! I cannot wait to come back next time I am in Wilmington!

Mary and her mom have expanded their store so much. They are both talented hand jewelry crafters. I have been going there since I moved here from NY 4 yrs ago. They have become my friends. They have beautiful handcrafted necklaces, bracelets, earrings, made from precious stones. I have at least 8 wire wrapped pieces as well as bracelets. Stop in there. They will make you feel like family.

I absolutely adore this store. I was in town for work & visited on multiple occasions. I picked up several gifts here before I left. The owner & artist makes beautiful, original pieces at affordable prices & offers an eclectic variety of options from local artists as well. I couldn't recommend this place any higher. Truely a gem.

I loved this store the moment I walked into it and was greeted warmly. Handmade wire wrapped jewelry that you can watch her do while standing there or pick out an already made piece. Explains all of the different stones she has and information about them. Great selection of art and other local handmade items. Great place to get one of a kind items!

“ I have been shopping at Gems4U ever since they were setup on river walk. They have beautiful pieces, will gladly customize anything in their store, and even make one of a kind pieces for you! They are always friendly and have amazing customer service. I always tell people they have to stop by and check out the wire wraps, beading, local art, and gemstones. Will continue to be a loyal customer!!”

This place is amazing if you like gems and stones. Very creative work and a good selection of gems. Mary’s mother was so hospitable and kind. This place is a must see on your visit to Wilmington!

It's pretty apparent from the moment you enter this place the love and care that Mary has for that which it is named... gems. There is something for all tastes here, from beautifully crafted original pieces of jewelry to raw specimens and everything in between. The thing that I think impressed me the most was the fact that Mary knows everthing under her roof to the point that she can even tell you where those specimens were found. If you are feeling artistically inspired they also have a charm bar where you can create something of your own. Most certainly worth checking out!

My best friend and I were window shopping on the 4th of July and stumbled across this shop and fell in love! Everyone was so nice and helpful and the shop is set up very uniquely. I got such a cute necklace I was actually looking for already because mine broke and I am so much happier with the quality of this one. I hope I can make the drive from Wake Forest again to visit!

I love the store...Mary is the sweetest lady. She talked to us the whole time, shared stories and information on the stones and the wraps..she made me and my husband earrings on the spot and when the transaction was complete she gifted us with some beautiful rough stones. She offered me the best prices on custom wrapped cabs...I will be ordering from her again over and over. She offers wraps that range from simple to complex and each wrap highlights the beauty of the stone perfectly.

Mary and her Mom are wonderful people. I've been in twice within the last seven days and my collection has grown substantially. I've added three pendants, multiple mineral samples and various cut gems. They're hospitable, offering water and candy to shoppers in addition to conversation. They'll help you find the perfect gift for yourself or someone else. GEMS4U offers a large collection of raw mineral/crystal specimens as well as cabonchons and faceted stones in various sizes. Their work comes in various forms - wire wraps, (rings, pendants, bracelets), chokers, bracelets and an assortment of make your own jewelry. Mary will even help you select a stone and then wrap it based on what you want. The Sedcieski's are good people, with a generous and loving spirit - it's now my #1 stop for my collection.

Mary and her mother Valerie are the sweetest people! This is the only store I get my crystals and jewelry from because the customer service is excellent! I bought a hematite bracelet from them but it was too big so they made me a custom one to fit. I wear it everyday. Such kindness deserves your patronage!

One of my favorite shops in
Downtown Wilmington NC. Square Review
Mary is wonderful! This shop is terrific! Do yourself a favor and go visit. It's hard here to explain the feeling I got when I walked through the door so the best I can do is say that her generous spirit and effervescent personality are infused in the energy of the store and it just hit me like a pleasant breeze the moment I crossed the threshold. Plus, she's VERY talented! A magical combination. Yelp Review
Mary is an awesome person with a beautiful soul!

I visited the shop for the first time today and they have some of the most beautiful gemstones that the owner, Mary, mines herself right in our NC Mountains. Nice mother and daughter team and so friendly. Take time to visit their shop and meet a real artist. Mary designs her pieces around the shapes of the natural stones and minerals. Square Review
