Gem helps you discover thousands of listings from secondhand stores, all while supporting small businesses around the country.

What we love: Gem searches for items from independent stores and resale platforms—drawing from over 150 million listings across the internet. When you’re ready to buy, the app redirects you to the store’s site to complete the sale.

Meet the creator: Cofounder Liisa Jokinen began photographing street style in 2005 throughout Helsinki and New York. “I have always been fascinated by outfits created with secondhand pieces, as they tend to have the most personality,” Jokinen says. “Gem is built to support this culture!”
