Agape Gems

Agape Gems comes from the creative mind of Courtney Johnson of Atlanta, Georgia. We love her work - her pearls are especially beautiful! Here is Courtney's story of how she became a jewelry artist:

"It was the late 80’s, I was in elementary school and the Snellville shopping plaza was where many of my first loves surfaced. My ballet studio, the yogurt shop, our town’s little bookstore, and Leonardo the jeweler were all conveniently in a row. My mother and I visited them in that order every Thursday afternoon. We always spent the most time with Leonardo the jeweler- examining jewels, rubbing pearls across our teeth, designing custom rings, and falling in love with all the sparkly things. 

"30 years later and I still love time with my mom, dance, ice cream, books, and all the sparkly things. I launched Agape Gems in 2016 on the premise of love, individuality, and self-expression. I believe every woman should have the confidence to wear what she loves and love what she wears. With that philosophy in mind, I combine high quality materials with exceptional styling to create unique and timeless handmade jewelry.

"When I’m not designing and creating, I’m being an Uber to my 2 kids, reading, scouring the globe for new gemstones, serving my church and community, or cheering on my Georgia Bulldawgs.

"Annually, I donate a portion of my profits to local and international ministries working to end human trafficking."
