Summer Gem Games

Categorized under: Gemstones, Jewelry, Sapphires

For some summer fun, Green Lake Jewelry will be hosting a social media crowd favorite: the #GemGames ! This year, we’ve made it even more exciting for our committed rock hounds because there’s an official bracket.



Starting July 22nd, we will be introducing all the players on Instagram and Facebook so you can get to know their unique qualities. During this week, make sure you fill out your official bracket and share it on your social media (tag us in your photo on either platform). We’re curious who you think will win! (Make sure you have your bracket predictions posted by July 29th to take advantage of official bragging rights if you guess every slot correctly.)

Check back on social media the following week to see each match, and be sure to vote for your favorite sapphire in the comments. We will tally the votes from both IG and FB to determine each match-winner after 24 hours.


Best of all, everyone can be a winner because our entire stock of in-studio sapphires is 10% off! This is a collection of gemstones that have been hand-picked for beauty and rarity by our gem buyers.

There are more items included in this offer, so be sure to ask your designer if there is a ring, diamond, or gemstone you’ve had your eye on!
