At llyn strong fine art jewelry, our Gemstone Roundtable has become a cherished tradition – an intimate gathering we’ve hosted twice a year in Greenville, South Carolina, for many years. More than an event, it is an experience: an afternoon or evening where guests are invited to explore the world of fine gemstones in their purest form, loose and full of possibilities. Around the table, exquisite gems are passed from hand to hand, each accompanied by its own story, history, and unique beauty. Paired with exceptional food, fine wine, and engaging conversation, the roundtable offers both education and artistry. In this blog, we invite you to step inside that experience through the reflections of past attendees.

“The gemstone roundtable is just the right mix of great food, stimulating conversation and just enough information about the world’s most captivating gemstones. With a bit of a casino atmosphere, there is never any pressure to bid or buy- only healthy encouragement to indulge in laughter and fun. It is near impossible to attend only once. The event has a place on our calendar every season.” –Jimm and Rob
“The beauty I found at the Gemstone Roundtable is that it isn’t always about discovering the largest or rarest stone, but about finding the one that speaks to you personally. Even a small stone, when chosen with intention, holds the power to be transformed into a true work of art, a piece of jewelry that carries both beauty and meaning. That experience of connection and creation is what makes the Roundtable so memorable.” –Nolan
“The Gemstone Roundtable has been one of the most fun and creative events we have attended! We have designed several beautiful pieces of jewelry from the gems we chose, and llyn, Sydney and team have made our designs come to life! We have learned a lot about the gems and their origins. It is a fun way to spend an evening!” –Alicia and John
“On Gemstone Roundtable days, I step into llyn strong fine art jewelry and immediately begin to make new friends. The other attendees, of course, but oh, the gems! I touch them and admire them and imagine how they would feel when I wear them. While I am drooling over the stones, my taste buds are having their own party with delicious morsels, sweet and savory. And there’s champagne to celebrate the joy of finding my new favorite ring or necklace. Whether commemorating a special event or just because I deserve it, a Gemstone Roundtable is a memorable occasion.” –Meredith
“The Gemstone Roundtable is the best thing I do for myself all year. It’s a few hours of delicious beauty, art and creativity, and pure fun with others who enjoy such beauty. I always learn something about a stone; get to see things I’ve never seen before and… get my art on! I have never left without an insanely huge grin on my face. It’s the most wonderful night of the year.” –Gretchen

We were in awe of the incredible beauty we found in such a wide variety of gemstones — all while being delighted by delicious culinary pairings. The hospitality and customer service here is top notch. Our roundtable experience came full circle as we worked with llyn and team to create several stunning pieces of jewelry with our new gemstones. We would have never embarked on this journey without the llyn strong team and we are so grateful!” -Ward and Tory Nicolay
