Junior Jewelers:
Jewelry and Gemology Kid's Club
Welcome to Junior Jewelers, a dazzling new adventure for our youngest enthusiasts! At Croft & Stern, we believe that a love for gemstones and jewelry starts early. That's why we've created a special club just for kids ages preschool to elementary: Junior Jewelers.
What is the “Junior Jewelers” Kid’s Club?
Junior Jewelers is an exciting, hands-on club that meets at least once a month. It’s perfect for children who are curious about geology, gemology, birthstones, or simply enchanted by all things shiny. Each session is designed to be a fun, educational experience where kids can explore the art, science, and technical skills behind gems and/or jewelry making.
What to Expect
Interactive Sessions: Our events are filled with engaging activities tailored for young minds. From learning about different gemstones to understanding the basics of jewelry design, every session is an adventure.
Expert Guidance: Our experienced jewelry team will lead the sessions, ensuring that your child receives knowledgeable and age-appropriate instruction.
Parental Participation: We require that parents stay in our studio with their child. Parents are welcome to shop, have their jewelry cleaned, or just simply enjoy a complimentary beverage from our coffee bar.
Event Details
Duration: Each session lasts between 30-45 minutes, just the right amount of time to keep young minds captivated.
Reservation Fee: A $10 reservation fee is required per child. This fee will be donated to the Jewelers for Children charity, helping to instill a sense of community and giving in our young participants.
