Jewels by Star offers customers a tremendous depth of fine diamond and gemstone jewelry set in eighteen-karat gold

Rafael Fouzailoff, "Our product can best be described as updated classics. We believe very strongly that meticulously
crafted classic styles with a unique twist are the most enduring designs."
While design inspirations may be traditional, Jewels by Star is also greatly admired for the one-of-a-kind custom
pieces that they originate. This part of the business is fueled by Rafael's singular passion for creating beauty.
"I am in love with the process. I've been known to search for almost a year for a piece I am designing. I get a tremendous
amount of satisfaction when everything finally fits together and the piece is as breathtaking as I had imagined it would be."
The service oriented attitude at J.B. Star has indeed become contagious, "Catering to the needs of our customers
has become one of our trademarks," say Meir Hankes. Hankes is in charge of all the diamond buying for the company.
Over the past sixteen years, Jewels by Star has continued to pursue the Fouzaliff tradition of developing and
sustaining strong partnerships by concentrating on every last detail of making their customers successful.
According to Rafael, "We are a family owned business with a unique dedication to relationships."

Kwiat :
When you look at a diamond what do you see? If it is a Kwiat diamond, you see all the details,
all the craftsmanship, all the beauty one stone can possess. The sparkle and light that makes a
diamond magical is attributed to the cut. At Kwiat they believe the cut of a diamond is more than
just a set of numerical measurements. Each stone they cut is crafted for maximum brilliance
through a careful balancing of white light return, fire and scintillation.
There is not one table size or depth percent that guarantees a beautiful diamond.
It is the relationship these measurements have to one another that results in a brilliant diamond.
Kwiat believes that every woman from Maine to California can wear the diamond of her dreams. They believe that femininity
is good. Fun is good. Laughter is good. And that in this world you can never have too many things that are good. They
believe that the typical American woman does not want to be typical. She wants the fairy tale. She wants to believe that
for one moment the world is spinning around her. All over the world there are women in boardrooms and ballrooms,
