About Owner / COO, Jessica Adler Gerring
Jessica Adler Gerring grew up at the heels of jewelers (literally) and counts playing on the carpet behind the counter at the Paul Brown Building Adler’s Jewelers as one of her first memories. Jessica was born and raised in St. Louis, MO, graduating from Ladue Horton Watkins High School before moving north to receive her Bachelor of Science degree in Journalism from Allegheny College in Pennsylvania. She worked as a newspaper reporter, copy editor, and page designer in Ohio for a year before moving to Florida to begin a 9-year tenure in the dental marketing industry.
Her desire to be near family, and realization that there is no better place to live than St. Louis, brought her back home. Jessica worked in the real estate industry, helping at Adler’s Jewelers during rush season, until her father announced plans for retirement in 2020. Assisting with the retirement sale and store closure, Jessica was struck with the magnitude of four generations of family business coming to a close.
She and her sister, Danielle Adler Estes, began brainstorming ways to keep the tradition alive, and eventually teamed to open Adler’s Diamonds. She brings years of experience in strategic communication, social media management, results-driven content production, lead tracking, relationship management, brand development and strategy, email marketing and more to the Company. Backing her experience, is a passion for sales and the relationships born out of a simple transaction. More than anything, Jessica loves taking a client's ideas and bringing them to reality through custom design.
Jessica feels honored to carry on the legacy started by her great-grandmother more than 100 years ago in Budapest, Hungary. After nearly 15 years working in other fields, Jessica feels that all of it was meant to lead her exactly to this purpose. Jessica, her husband Stephen, and their two incredible children live in Kirkwood. In their spare time, they love to explore all the beautiful parks and museums that St. Louis has to offer. They are lifelong animal lovers, avid runners, and are obnoxiously competitive at crossword puzzles.
