Our stry.

Allow us to Introduce Ourselves.

There's "Ice Cream Sandwich," and then there's RUBY JEWEL.

Our founder, Lisa Herlinger, noticed a lack of premium ice cream novelties in her local grocery stores. By elevating the ice cream sandwich to new heights, she created the RUBY JEWEL.

At Ruby Jewel, we’re dedicated to bringing the most DISTINCTIVE and DELECTABLE ice cream sandwiches to our growing community of fans. We bring PURE JOY to your freezer with classic and innovative flavor combinations using premium, locally sourced, clean ingredients. Our delicious cookies pair with unforgettable ice cream to create an UNAPOLOGETICALLY INDULGENT experience like no other.

If you’re looking to satisfy your sweet side, why not go all the way? INDULGE IN A RUBY JEWEL.
