Make a Wish
Give your loved ones a break. They’re not mind readers! All they want to do
is please you, but they have to know how. A list makes it easy and fun for
everyone. (Hint: Give plenty of choices, and add a few items with different
prices so the gift giver can feel they’re playing some role in the decision.)

diamond necklace and earrings.
Lisa has made “Making a Wish” an Art Form. She has guided her husband and even inspired her daughters Marissa and twins Kari and Sara to create their own lists. We strongly suspect that her granddaughter Olivia will too!
Lisa Says:
Jewelry By Design... the name told me I had found the right jewelry store-but I also call them
my “They can do it” store. When I wanted to reset my diamond ring in an extraordinary way,
they did it. Five sets of earrings made out of chain? They did it. I needed Christmas gifts for my
three daughters, who have totally different tastes in jewelry. They did it. A birthday gift for my
husband? They did it.
JBD introduced me to Hearts On Fire® diamonds,
which turns the smallest amount of light into a bright
sparkle. I’ve worn them to dark restaurants and had
ladies ask where I got such brilliant gems. “Hearts
On Fire® diamonds I told them.” Hearts On Fire® is
choosy about the stores they work with—but they
chose JBD.
And when I bought my husband his present, I also
got him a gift certificate to use next time he buys me
Hearts On Fire® diamonds.
I love this place!
Anne Anne is a wonderfully artistic and creative person. We worked with her to turn her collection of stones and dated and worn out jewelry into beautiful new pieces. Here are the results:
Anne Says:
I’ve loved jewelry all my life and have known John and Jenny Caro for 20 years. In that
time, I’ve purchased jewelry all over the world. I’ve never dealt with people that were as
honorable and as elegant in their own personal style or as talented at designing jewelry as
John and Jenny. I would not hesitate to recommend them for anything.
Because we’ve worked together so closely on so many pieces, we’ve become personal
friends, which is quite wonderful. How often do you find yourself to be personal friends with
people you do business with? I would encourage you to take any kind of jewelry design
you want created to them. They will do absolutely the best job possible. I trust them with
my treasures.

Redesign itCustom Design or Remounting is the best way to get the value out of a piece of jewelry when it is worn out or you are just tired
of it. (Hint: Resetting your gems gives you the most value. The metal can be traded on new.)

JennyJohn says
I first met Jenny when she had just gotten a BFA in Jewelry Design from VCU and was preparing
for her first exhibit at a Georgetown art gallery. I was entranced by her designs, her beauty and
who she is.
We’ve just celebrated our 25th anniversary, and that pleases me more than the fact that not only
does she still design beautiful settings, but she gets to live something that’s a dream for many
women. She buys millions of dollars of jewelry a year. Of course, most of it’s for our customers,
but it still thrills us both to see all those gems.
And our anniversary gift to each other?. . . We just expanded our store for the third time, doubling
its size again. Now, we have the largest selection of Jewelry in the area.
Protect your investmentYou will take a loss, even if you have it insured, unless it is appraised and insured at the current market (Hint: There are only 3
AGS* Accredited Gem Laboratories in the Washington Baltimore metro area. We have one)
CyndiCyndi is brilliant! When she heard the price of gold had soared, she brought in all her old jewelry and traded it for $6,700. Then she turned that money into a magnificent Hearts On Fire® “Enchantment” Ring with 1½ carats of perfectly cut diamonds, a Pandora bracelet and still has more to spend. That’s trading up with style.
Cyndi says:
Every woman has broken pieces of jewelry or pieces she never wears. I traded mine in
and got an incredibly fiery new Hearts On Fire® ring that I am thrilled to wear every day.
My experience at Jewelry By Design has been wonderful. The knowledgeable sales
consultants and personalized customer service make JBD an outstanding place to shop.
I would never shop anywhere else!
Trade it in
It’s a great way to get a sparkly new look. Trading in gets you almost twice
the amount you would normally get for cash. When you purchase items
from us, you may even get your whole purchase price as a Trade Credit.

Your jewelry’s beauty may be hidden under a layer of dirt! Get ready for it to look amazing—and to have others tell you how
spectacular it is when you get it professionally cleaned. (Hint: Jewelry By Design does complimentary cleaning)
Keep your gems looking their Best
Debor ahDeborah began with the purchase of a Christmas Ornament. She loved it and went on to buy Story Wheels and Pandora Beads. She and her sisters have also taken advantage of our trade in policy. Deborah turned her old jewelry into a new diamond bracelet, a watch and more Pandora! She has made Jewelry By Design a family affair by referring many relatives to our store.
Deborah says
I truly enjoy every shopping experience at Jewelry By Design. I am greeted by name
and the service is very personalized. My favorite jewelry is Pandora and there is always a
large selection. If they don’t have what I want they are willing to special order it. I sold my
scrap gold and was able to purchase a diamond watch, diamond earrings, a ring for my
husband, several Pandora Beads and Mix and Match Earrings.
