The Challenges Jewellery Dealers Face

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.

Every type of stock needs different details

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.

Pricing across channels is a headache

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.

VAT Margin Scheme compliance

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.

Multi-channel selling across shops, fairs, and online

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.

How GemJam Solves Each Problem

Jewellery stock management software designed around the way UK jewellery dealers actually work.

Custom templates for every type of stock

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.

Automatic channel pricing

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.

Automatic margin scheme calculations

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.

Push to Shopify, eBay coming soon

List items on Shopify directly from GemJam. When a piece sells on any channel, your inventory updates everywhere automatically. eBay integration is in development.

Your Stock, Your Fields

Most 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.

Hallmarked jewellery

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.

Designer and luxury goods

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.

As specific as you need

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.

Provenance and purchase history

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.

VAT Margin Scheme Compliance Built In

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
