About: Sisters Susan Logsdon & Amanda Helman started Golden Gems in 2016 headquartered out of Amanda’s living room. While starting with just 8 products, Golden Gems quickly gained a local following through Etsy & opened up their first brick & mortar in South St. Louis City in 2018. Over the next few years, Golden Gems experienced rapid growth: Susan & Amanda tripled their product line, grew their team with 18 new employees, & outgrew their little 1200 sq. ft shop. Today, Golden Gems has 3 retail locations in St. Louis, including a 5600 sq. ft flagship store & warehouse space that houses a retail store in the front, with headquarters in the back for shipping, inventory for their ever growing product line, offices, event space, photography studio & more.
