Your Perfect Totem Is Here

Gem Totēm is a Sydney-based brand, creating unique handcrafted jewellery. At Gem Totēm we’re all about celebrating individuality with one-of-a-kind designs, inspired by the vibrant colours and textures of nature. Every piece is a little reminder to connect with the beauty around you and make it your own.

Handcrafted With Semi-Precious Gemstones

Incorporating semi-precious gemstone beads, known for their spiritual and mood-enhancing qualities, we create uplifting and meaningful jewellery, crafted with care and attention to detail. Because each gemstone is unique, every piece of jewellery is one-of-a-kind, celebrating the uniqueness and beauty within each of us.

Our Story Or Behind The Scenes

Gem Totēm began as a passion project for two Sydney moms, a creative outlet that quickly grew into something much more — a labor of love we often call our “fourth baby”. What started as a way to reconnect with ourselves has become a celebration of vibrant, thoughtful jewellery that’s free from fleeting trends. Each piece we create reflects our love for colour, individuality and the beauty of imperfection.

Express Yourself With A Signature Piece

Blending heritage with a modern touch, we create bold and elegant signature accessories perfect for any occasion: baroque pearls collar, half/half necklaces with freshwater pearls and grounding unakite, mood-enhancing multicoloured beaded necklaces, bracelets and anklets, eye-catching lanyards and 3-in-1 phone/key/bag charms. Browse our collection and find the perfect piece to express yourself. Whether you’re on vacation or in the city, these versatile and timeless pieces complement any lifestyle seamlessly.

Take A Breath And Slow Down

At Gem Totēm, we’re two moms driven by a desire to leave the best possible world for our kids. That’s why we focus on offering limited stock as our way of reducing waste and minimizing our environmental footprint. Each piece of Gem Totēm jewellery is carefully handcrafted, embracing a slower, more intentional approach to life. Choosing your Gem Totēm thoughtfully will help contributing to a more sustainable future.
