The Gem in the Riverbend - NOLA

We celebrate the beauty of giving—pieces chosen with intention, shaped with care, and rich with meaning. At Symmetry, every design carries more than its materials; it reflects the artistry, connection, and joy that define our work and the relationships behind it.

January, According to Garnet

Garnet is January’s birthstone, long associated with strength, protection, and enduring connection. Valued across cultures for both its depth of color and meaning, garnet carries a quiet presence—rich, grounded, and intentional.

Jewelry as Expression

Dana Kellin’s designs are sculptural, thoughtful, and deeply personal. Each piece is shaped by hand, guided by intuition, and rooted in a belief that jewelry should feel expressive—not ornamental. These are pieces chosen for how they feel as much as how they look.

Our Story

In 1975, Richard and Tom Mathis, along with Judie Held, had a vision to create a jewelry store that would showcase custom creations alongside unique, locally and globally sourced treasures. This "Gem at the Riverbend" remains vibrant today under the careful eye of Connie Thompson and Anna Hollinger who continue a commitment to inspire customers and provide art-forward jewelry crafted with precision and care.
