Our Story

Linda Miller and her husband began their retail management journey in the 70's earning numerous National Awards from Fortune 100 retailers. 

In 2012, they opened WaterGemz Jewelry in the farmers market environment and grew it to 4000 handmade items. WaterGemz showed at several festivals and 12 different Farmers Markets, working under many different management styles. They enjoyed the dependable farmers market schedule where they could build relationships with customers. In 2015 they transitioned to market management focusing on non-profit partnerships. Aside from their business experience, what sets them apart is their desire to give back to the community and to those with whom they do business. The couple has mentored many small businessowners.
