The Story Behind Gemiria
Have you ever seen your name spelled wrong?
Not misspelled by accident. Wrong on purpose. Because the system couldn't handle your accent, your script, your letters.
That happened to us constantly.
Dániel's surname is Völgyi. English speakers called him "Wall-G" because they couldn't pronounce the Hungarian vowels. Teachers skipped it. Coffee shops wrote "Daniel V." Every time someone tried to say it, something was lost.
Katarina grew up writing her name in Serbian Cyrillic: Катарина. But online stores only supported Latin letters. On packages, on forms, on jewelry, her name was always romanized to "Katarina." The Cyrillic script that connects her to her heritage was stripped away, replaced with something that felt foreign.
That's why we built Gemiria: custom name jewelry in 6+ authentic scripts.
The Breaking Point
Dániel wanted to buy a necklace for his mother, Júlia. A simple name necklace with her name spelled correctly, including the Hungarian accent on the "u."
We searched everywhere. Every personalized jewelry store offered the same thing: generic Latin characters. No accents. No special letters. No authentic scripts.
The necklace arrived: "Julia."
Not Júlia. Julia.
The accent that connects her name to her Hungarian heritage, to her family, to her identity... deleted. As if it didn't matter.
But it does matter.
Your name isn't just letters. It's memory, culture, love. It's how your grandmother said it, how it looks in your native script, how it connects you to where you come from.
When jewelry is meant to be personal, "almost right" is never enough.
Who This Is For
We built Gemiria for anyone whose name has been simplified, romanized, or stripped of what makes it theirs.
We launched with K-pop fans who wanted their bias's name in real Korean Hangul, not romanized text. They wanted "김민지" not "Kim Minji."
But this is for everyone:
- Arabic families wanting their children's names in authentic script
- Hebrew communities wanting names with proper vowel points
- Ukrainian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Russian speakers needing Cyrillic
- European names needing their accents (á, é, ñ, ü, ő)
- Japanese names in real Hiragana, Katakana, or Kanji
Whether you're wearing your own name, your loved one's name, your pet's name, or your bias's name, it deserves to be spelled correctly.
How We Make It
We don't compromise on materials. Cheap jewelry tarnishes, fades, and breaks. That's not good enough for something you'll wear every day.
Every Gemiria piece starts with a 304 surgical-grade stainless steel base. Gold and Rose Gold are finished with 18K PVD plating. Silver is finished with rhodium, one of the rarest precious metals in the world, valued for its brilliant finish and exceptional durability.
Our PVD coating is 5x more durable than traditional gold plating. Shower with it. Swim with it. Never take it off.
And we support 6+ authentic writing systems: Korean Hangul, Arabic, Hebrew, Cyrillic, Japanese (Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji), and Latin with full diacritical marks (á, é, ñ, ü, ő, and more). Not romanized. Not simplified. Exactly as your name should be written.
Every piece comes in our signature burgundy gift box, ready to wear or gift.
Jewelry Should Be Worn
We use durable stainless steel instead of fragile sterling silver for a reason. You can own multiple pieces, layer them, change them depending on your mood or your day. Jewelry should be part of your life, not locked in a drawer.
We design every piece in Budapest, manufacture ethically in Asia for quality and affordability, and ship worldwide. Made to order in 3-5 days, delivered within 2 weeks.
Your name is part of your identity. It deserves better than "close enough."
This is Gemiria, where every name carries a story.
