About Us

Hi! I’m Gemya Williams, the founder of Scents By Gem. I’m currently a junior attending Grand Valley State University, majoring in Marketing with a minor in Africana Studies. I officially launched my business in April 2024, but this idea has been in the works since 2021.

I handcraft natural soy candles because sustainability matters to me. Soy wax is a cleaner, eco-friendly alternative that burns longer and produces less soot, making it better for both your space and the environment. But beyond that, candles have always been a form of self-care for me. There’s something about filling a room with a warm, comforting scent that gives me a sense of peace and relaxation, and I want to share that feeling with others.

Scents By Gem is all about bringing warmth, comfort, and good energy into your space.
