History
GEMaffair.com started business in 2000 in Largo,Florida . As the business grew, owner and founder, Michael Jansma decided to create a website for the business in order to reach more people. In 2006 the company moved its vast gemstone jewelry and watch inventory online. Jansma not only created a parent site for his company, but also began selling gemstone and diamond jewelry on Ebay, Property Room, and DOBA.
The company was one of the first to utilize Amazon.com's Seller Central service. As their relationship grew, GEMaffair.com helped to shape the way Seller Central is used. Jansma and his company's contributions to the site were most recently cited in Brad and Debra Schepp's Internet selling tutorial book called Selling with Seller Central. The book, set for release in early 2009, details GEMaffair.com's collaboration with Amazon and outlines how others can integrate the same practices into their online retail businesses. In addition to the company's success with Amazon.com, GEMaffair.com was one of the first Power Sellers on Ebay and continues to enjoy continued growth with the powerful online auction house.
