How much capital is sitting in your jewelry display cases right now? Which pieces have been there too long, and what sells fast enough to reorder?
Jewelry inventory management software should answer these questions without sending you through spreadsheets or paper records. The right system follows each piece from purchase to sale while connecting inventory to repairs, reporting, customer history, and online orders.
We compared each provider on its jewelry-specific features, pricing, and real customer reviews. Here are the six that stood out:
No system fits every store. The sections below weigh each on its merits, but knowing what sets jewelry software apart from standard retail makes the comparison easier.
A standard retail point of sale (POS) system can count how many products you have. Jewelry store inventory management goes further. Two rings can share a style number while carrying different stones, certificates, costs, and margins.
Look for a system that can handle the work your store does every day:
Price matters, but a low monthly rate climbs fast once you add hardware, payment processing, data migration, support, extra users, and third-party integrations. Weigh the full cost of owning the system, not just the advertised starting price.

Jewelry inventory platforms can look interchangeable on a feature list. The differences become clear when you import years of records, count the pieces in your cases, take in a repair, or try to check inventory from home. Here’s where each provider fits.
Best for: All-in-one jewelry management — inventory, POS, repairs, customer records, and e-commerce in one cloud-based system
Jewel360 keeps the item record at the center of the store. Each serialized piece carries its stone, certificate, vendor, cost, location, and sales history as it moves from receiving to the display case, and eventually to the customer. Verified customers give it a 5.0 rating on both Software Advice and Capterra.
Key features:
The same inventory feeds a connected e-commerce website, while integrations with Stuller, GIA, Geller's Blue Book, and Jewelers Mutual cut down on manual entry. All plans include unlimited users and products, so costs do not rise every time a store adds an employee.
Pricing: Choose from Startup, Core, and Plus packages based on the tools your store needs. Use the Build and Price tool to compare packages and build a tailored quote.
First People's Jewelers moved to Jewel360 after 10 years on The Edge. Three years later, owner Brooke Oates described how much the added visibility changed the business:
"The amount of information that it gives me now is mind-blowing. I don't think I could run First People's Jewelers without Jewel360."
Best for: On-premise inventory tracking with RFID for established stores
The Edge has supported independent jewelry retailers since 2004. It stores detailed item information, manages purchasing and receiving, and produces extensive inventory and sales reports, along with repairs, appraisals, commissions, and multilocation support. It holds a 4.2 rating on Capterra, where reviewers praise the depth of its inventory and reporting tools.
Key features:
RFID sets it apart for stores that count large inventories often. Setup is the tradeoff. Currently, The Edge runs on Windows hardware and a local server. Serent Capital acquired the company in April 2026, and a cloud version is now in beta. Jewelers who want cloud today are signing up for prerelease software — not a polished platform. Ask about timeline, migration, and the future of the on-premise version.
Pricing: The Edge no longer posts a fixed license price. Retailers enter their store count and team size into its pricing and ROI calculator before requesting a quote. Hardware, workstations, training, and support affect the final cost.
Best for: Growing jewelry stores that want publicly listed subscription tiers
CaratIQ takes a wide-suite approach, combining POS, inventory, customer relationship management (CRM), accounting, e-commerce, marketing, appointments, contracts, and employee management in one platform.
Key features:
Pricing: CaratIQ ties monthly pricing to capacity. Basic runs $300 for three users and up to 20,000 items. Professional is $550 for five users and up to 50,000 items, and Premium is $800 for seven users and up to 100,000 items. Additional users cost $100 per month, and each plan caps storage, emails, texts, and call minutes, with overage charges past those limits.

Best for: E-commerce-focused jewelers who need mobile access
Crystal combines cloud-based POS, accounting, inventory, repairs, and customer records. Staff can trace where a piece sits, review its movement history, manage vendor shipments and memos, or take in custom work without switching systems.
Key features:
Pricing: Crystal does not publish plan prices. Retailers book a demo and request a custom quote.
Best for: High-volume enterprise jewelers that want mature operational depth
JewelMate has served the jewelry industry since 1989. Its inventory records cover finished pieces, raw materials, and loose stones, with customizable fields, tags, pricing methods, and physical-count reports. It holds a 4.6 rating on Capterra, with reviewers giving its support team and jewelry knowledge strong marks.
Key features:
That depth suits an established retailer with complex processes, though teams moving from a simpler platform should account for setup and training. The published reviews are older and may not reflect the current version.
Pricing: Capterra lists a $3,500 one-time starting price. JewelMate does not publish the full cost of implementation, migration, training, hardware, or extra users, so stores will need a tailored quote.
Best for: General retail management across multiple channels
Lightspeed is the only general retail platform on this list. It supports serial numbers, SKUs, certificates, product variants, purchase orders, and inventory across locations, with e-commerce, loyalty, and advanced reporting on top. It holds a 4.0 rating on Capterra, though that feedback spans many industries rather than jewelry specifically.
Key features:
Because Lightspeed was not built for jewelry, test your workflows before committing. Repair intake, appraisals, memo, consignment, and detailed stone records may not work the way they do in a jewelry-specific system.
Pricing: Billed annually with Lightspeed Payments, plans run $89 per month for Basic, $149 for Core, and $289 for Plus. Additional locations, registers, hardware, and service fees raise the total.
Inventory problems rarely announce themselves. Capital sits trapped in pieces linger too long, popular items sell out, and online counts drift away from what sits in the case.
Jewel360 connects the information behind every piece to the rest of your store. Inventory updates with each sale, purchasing responds to stock levels, repairs use the same product records, and reporting shows where your money is moving. Your team can see the same information online, at the counter, or away from the store.
Use Build & Price to choose the inventory, sales, repair, e-commerce, and reporting tools your jewelry store needs.
