Jewellery dealing has unique demands that generic inventory software simply cannot handle. Spreadsheets and off-the-shelf tools leave gaps that cost you time, money, and compliance.
A hallmarked gold bracelet needs assay office and fineness mark recorded. A designer handbag needs serial number and authentication details. A vintage watch needs movement type and service history. Generic software forces every item into the same rigid structure, so you end up with messy workarounds or missing information.
Every selling channel charges different fees and commission. Working out what to list at on Shopify, 1stDibs, or in-person card sales to hit the same profit means recalculating for every item on every platform. One mistake and you sell at a loss.
Most jewellery stock comes from private sellers, making the Margin Scheme essential. But tracking which items qualify, calculating VAT at 1/6 of the margin, and generating HMRC-compliant records requires precision that manual methods cannot guarantee.
Jewellery dealers sell through physical shops, antiques fairs, Shopify, and soon eBay. Keeping stock levels accurate across channels when every item is unique means constant manual updates and the risk of selling something twice.
Jewellery stock management software designed around the way UK jewellery dealers actually work.
Create templates with different fields for each category you sell. A hallmarked jewellery template might track assay office, fineness mark, and date letter. A designer handbag template might track serial number, model, and authentication. You decide what matters.
Enter your listing price once \u2014 the amount you\u2019d accept with no fees. GemJam calculates what to list at on each selling channel (Shopify, 1stDibs, in-person card sales) so you hit the same profit after fees. Configure each channel\u2019s fee structure once in settings.
GemJam tracks the VAT status of every purchase and calculates Margin Scheme VAT automatically when items sell. No manual formulas, no eligibility guesswork, no compliance gaps.
List items on Shopify directly from GemJam. When a piece sells on any channel, your inventory updates everywhere automatically. eBay integration is in development.

AvailableMost dealers sell more than one type of item. A Cartier Love Bracelet needs different details than a Chanel handbag or a vintage Rolex. GemJam lets you create custom templates with different fields for each category, so every item captures exactly the information that matters.
Create a template with fields for assay office, fineness mark, date letter, sponsor's mark, metal type, purity, and gemstone details. Search and filter your stock by any of these attributes when a customer asks for something specific.
Track model numbers, serial numbers, RRP, material, and what\u2019s included (box, papers, certificate). Use calculated fields to automatically mask serial numbers for public listings while keeping the full number in your records.
Templates can be broad (one for all jewellery) or narrow (one just for VCA Alhambra bracelets). Add text fields, number fields, date fields, select lists, or calculated fields that transform other values. You control the level of detail.
Every item links to its purchase record and the contact you bought from. Track where each piece came from, what you paid, and the chain of ownership \u2014 giving buyers the provenance details they expect.
Most jewellery stock comes from private sellers, estate sales, and non-VAT-registered sources. The VAT Margin Scheme lets you pay VAT only on the profit margin rather than the full selling price. GemJam handles this automatically.
Automatic eligibility tracking based on seller VAT status
VAT calculated at 1/6 (16.67%) of the profit margin on eligible items
HMRC-compliant Stock Book, VAT Return Report, and dual invoice formats

Practical answers for UK jewellery dealers considering GemJam.
Every item in GemJam has standard fields: title, SKU, acquisition date and price, listing price, status, description, condition, location, category, HS code, and country of origin. Beyond these, you create custom templates with fields tailored to each type of stock. A hallmarked jewellery template might include assay office, fineness mark, date letter, and sponsor’s mark. A designer handbag template might track brand, model, serial number, and authentication details. A vintage watch template might record movement type, case material, and service history. You choose what to track for each category — as broad or as specific as you need.
You enter a listing price for each item — the amount you’d accept if there were no fees or commission. GemJam then calculates the price you’d need to list at on each selling channel (Shopify, 1stDibs, in-person card sales, your own website) to make the same profit after that channel’s fees. You configure the fee structure for each channel once in settings, and GemJam does the maths on every item automatically.
GemJam tracks the VAT status of every purchase automatically. When you buy from a private individual or non-VAT-registered seller, the item is flagged as Margin Scheme eligible. When sold, GemJam calculates VAT at 1/6 of the profit margin rather than the full selling price. It generates HMRC-compliant reports including the Stock Book, VAT Return Report, and dual invoice formats.
Yes. You can import items from Shopify, upload a spreadsheet (CSV or Excel), or add items individually. Each piece gets its own record with photos, purchase history, and your custom template fields. Most dealers are up and running within a day.
Yes. GemJam pushes your listings directly to Shopify, including photos, descriptions, and pricing. When an item sells on Shopify, GemJam automatically updates your inventory and records the sale. eBay integration is coming soon. This means you manage everything in one place rather than duplicating work across platforms.
Generic inventory systems assume interchangeable units with fixed prices — they are built for warehouses and retail, not dealers of unique pieces. GemJam treats every item as one-of-a-kind with its own purchase price, provenance, and margin. You create custom templates with different fields for each type of stock, so a fine jewellery template tracks hallmarks and gemstone grades while a luxury handbag template tracks brand, model, and condition. GemJam also calculates what to list each item at on every selling channel so you hit your target profit after fees. It handles VAT Margin Scheme calculations natively, pushes listings to Shopify (eBay coming soon), tracks individual item profitability, and generates HMRC-compliant documentation. It was built by a former UK jewellery dealer who understands the specific challenges.
GemJam is jewellery dealer software that tracks hallmarks, provenance, and margins while keeping you HMRC-compliant. Join the waiting list for early access.
