Trying to decide between The Edge and Jewel360? Here's what you need to know about their features, pricing, onboarding, and support.
The Edge has been the default on-premise POS for independent jewelers since 2004. It's deep on features — especially inventory and reporting — but it runs locally, and most add-ons require third-party partners.
Jewel360 is a cloud-native POS built for jewelers. POS, inventory, repairs, appraisals, e-commerce, and marketing in one platform — accessible from any device, with predictable monthly pricing.
To run the Edge’s software, you need a Windows computer and a server, which can cost from $3,000 to $5,000. The Edge does sell a few hardware peripherals, including a tag printer ($515), barcode scanner ($315), and imaging system ($215).
You’ll pay a one-time fee for access to the Edge’s software. For single stores, pricing ranges from $4,600 for one workstation to $5,700 for three stations — and pricing for multilocation stores starts at $12,450.
The Edge has integrated EMV processing through selected partners. The "Swipe, Learn, Earn" program offers free unlimited training if you use their processing partner.
