The business began from Jenny and Dave’s home. The couple started selling antiques and collectibles as a part time hobby to supplement their income while raising their daughters Jillian and Sarah. Jenny was laid off from her full-time banking job and with Dave’s encouragement, she pursued selling items online as a full-time career. She made it a success. Dave followed a few years later and left his job. At the end of 2015, Jenny and Dave officially launched JennyGems®.

They now have a 11,000 square foot production facility in Georgetown, Delaware. The showroom is open to the public and includes items for purchase. The couple began their brand by having their designs manufactured overseas in China. After being affected by the trade wars in 2019 and the inability to find a US supplier to keep up with the brands demand, the couple decided to take a big risk and use all their resources to purchase manufacturing and wood shop equipment. Timing was not on their side as the equipment arrived the week before the COVID 19 pandemic. Their sales went overnight to nothing. The couple was forced to lay off all of their workers. But they quickly came back fighting on social media and highlighting the Made in USA theme.The couple’s business took a giant leap and orders began increasing. The couple was able to rebound their business and continues to add new lines. JennyGems now makes commercial outside signage, promotional merch, custom orders and more!
