The business and its website.

UNDERGROUND GEM CO is an Australia-based gemstone wholesaler and retailer. The business hand-cuts and hand-crafts gemstones, including custom sizing, and serves both wholesale and retail customers.

The website is a working e-commerce store where customers can browse products and complete purchases directly online. Wholesale is an important customer segment, so the website also needs to support different customer types and controlled access.
