Jane Becker is dedicated to serving her clients. She worked with me to sell and redesign jewelry that I inherited when two family members died. Jane took the emerald and diamonds from a ring that I would never wear and used the stones in several ways. First, she set the emerald as a necklace. Then Jane used some diamonds for earrings. Finally, she escorted my daughter to several jewelers to get ideas for a diamond wedding band, which Jane later designed.

I highly recommend Jane to sell and redesign your jewelry.

Jane at JB Jewels is a true artist here in NYC. Her work is beautiful if you are looking for custom personalized jewelry. Also, if you are selling an estate she can evaluate appraisals and give estate appraisals for any jewelry you may have. She is easy to work with and I have seen her work first hand. I would highly recommend Jane.

— Nadia R.

— Chaim S.

Jane recently helped me resize and update two heirloom rings which I can now enjoy again. She is knowledgeable and creative about jewelry. I recommend her if you're looking for a special occasion piece or to update what you already own.

I had the pleasure of working with Jane Becker on a probate estate recently as an Executor and attorney for the estate. She was a quick, efficient, business oriented and the estate received the the best value for the jewelry she sold.

There was no hassle and no problem,, exactly what an attorney handling an estate is looking for.

I strongly recommend Jane Becker's services and would use her again in any jewelry transaction.

— Gary E., Esq.

Jane was truly a pleasure to work with!

I was helping my mom sell her rings and due to my lack of experience with jewelry and diamonds, I was very skeptical and nervous at first.

Jane completely understood where I was coming from, explained the process, and made me feel at ease right away. There are no catches, no hidden fees, no unknowns, the only thing you'll find is that your jewelry will sell for a higher price with Jane than if you try to navigate the process alone.

If you are like me, and are not familiar or nervous about selling jewelry, please go to Jane...she's the best at it!

— Mykole A. S.

Jane creating a matching earing to complete a set after we lost one original earring. The earrings were very special because they were given to me by my grandmother and I gave them to my older daughter. There is nothing like them in the market. Jane created a perfect match and my daughter wears them every day. I am very grateful for Jane's mastery, especially in matching perfectly the rare Russian gold and the flower ruby design.

— Natasha M.

If you're on the search for a dedicated jeweler, look no further than JB Jewels. Due to my sporadic schedule, Jane took it upon herself to run around NYC in a WALKING BOOT after she had an operation, without hesitation.

We worked together on designing, sourcing, and delivering a custom engagement ring for my fiancé. Jane was highly receptive, collaborative, and placed an emphasis on my budget and timeline. More importantly, she has developed long-term relationships with her trade partners, who are as knowledgeable and patience as she is throughout the journey.

The engagement ring's diamonds, setting, and band are a step above most jewelers. My fiancé is frequently complimented and we're still both in awe ourselves!

Jane took what's naturally an overwhelming process and turned it into a truly pleasant experience. In fact, I quickly became a returning customer for a recent watch purchase. Any and all questions, comments, or concerns were tackled efficiently.

Thank you, Jane!

Jane did a great job of appraising and selling family jewelry and sterling silverware. Easy to work with and she shopped the things around to get the best price. Can’t recommend her highly enough!!!

I've worked with Jane for several years, for example, selling estate jewelry and silver, cut stones, redesigning pieces of jewelry to make them more modern, and repairing jewelry. She is wonderful to work with - creative, responsive, has excellent relationships with dealers and auction houses, very honest in terms of working to achieve the best results and, overall, delightful. I have recommended Jane without hesitation to friends and prospective clients.

“When my father passed away in 2015, my sister and I took on the laborious process of going through everything that he and my mother had left behind in the apartment where they had lived for 40 years. (You can read more about that experience in Home is Where the Heart Is.)

Among the few things I brought home were two pieces of jewelry that I had never seen before. One was a tie clip that my teenage mother had given my father before they were even married. It had his initials (JL) and was accompanied by a note saying, "Because I love you." I had never seen my father wear this tie clip and I didn't know it existed. The other was a ring with several small diamonds that might have also predated my parents' marriage, as I never saw my mother wear it.

I sat on these items for several years, not sure what I wanted to do with them. Recently, I reached out to my colleague Jane Becker of JB Jewels, to whom I have referred several of my clients when they wanted to remake jewelry. I knew that I wanted to turn the tie clip into a necklace but wasn't sure what to do with the ring. Jane and I discussed some of the possibilities and ultimately decided to remove the stones from the ring and turn them into a unique pair of earrings.

I recently received my new jewelry and was delighted with the results. I feel so good that these pieces that my parents saved for over 60 years have been given new life. Jane wrote about my new pieces (including photos) in her latest newsletter, which you can read here.”

— Sharon L.

“I chose to work with Jane because I saw that she was willing to put in the time and legwork to get the absolute best prices for my mother’s estate jewelry. We were on the same page that selling for gold or silver weight would be our last option. Jane has an appreciation for the jewelry pieces themselves, and was not in a hurry to see them melted down. This was especially important to me because there was emotional attachment to Mom’s jewelry; it took a while to be ready to let it go at all, let alone contemplate it being melted down.

Jane worked hard to get us very attractive offers on items that others had recommended I donate. She faithfully consulted with me every step of the way, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.”

— Marci K.

“I have had the delight of recently working with Jane Becker. I asked Jane to design a piece of jewelry, sell sterling silver pieces from an estate, precious stone and gold jewelry manufactured by my late husband, and gold and silver scraps and pieces from my husband’s business.

Within two days she had a check for the sterling and excellent offers for me for the jewelry and scraps. A lovely, trustworthy and honest woman - an absolute pleasure to do business with.”

— Phyllis G. P.

“I have been working with Jane Becker for the past few years and she is wonderful. She completely understands my style and aesthetic and has designed and redesigned pieces for both me and my daughter that we will wear for years to come. She is full of creative ideas. I have seen the work she has done for some of my friends as well and the pieces are just beautiful. I highly recommend Jane. She is truly a fine jewelry designer.”

— Davida P.

“We met with Jane about week before my daughter’s wedding to discuss if it was possible to wear the diamonds she inherited from her grandmother in a new setting on her wedding day. (It also happened to be the week before Christmas and New Years.)

Jane said “Anything is possible!” She came with catalogues and we viewed websites together for comparison and inspiration. Jane remarkable worked within our budget and expertly advised us. The next day she forwarded us a few earring settings based on our meeting.

We chose one of the beautiful settings - and to our amazement and great joy - it was ready three days before the wedding! It was stunning and my daughter was thrilled. We are extremely grateful to Jane for expediting the project and guiding her team to make this possible. Her commitment, positive energy, and devotion is unparalleled.”

— P.W.

“Such a wonderful experience and pleasure to work with Jane. She helped design and manufacture a beautiful ring for my lovely wife on our 20th Wedding Anniversary! I challenged Jane to match the quality of the gold and diamonds on my wife's Tiffany Engagement ring and because my wife is of Colombian heritage, Jane was certain that the emeralds came from Colombia. She helped make our 20th a magical celebration and you should be so lucky to have Jane work with you on your next Jewelry purchase!”

— Ken S.

“Like the gorgeous gems Jane Becker works with, her talents are multi-faceted. She’s an excellent designer, both when creating a piece for a client from scratch or transforming their heirloom from something they never wear into their favorite piece of jewelry.

“When I looked at my deceased mother-in-law's emerald ring surrounded by diamonds, I knew it was not for me. Jane separated the precious stones and re-fashioned them in new pieces. I now have a necklace with the emerald and diamonds, plus diamond stud earrings, for special occasions. My daughter has a diamond wedding band. Plus there are diamonds to spare. Jane was attentive and creative throughout the process of making jewelry that I and my daughter WILL wear. Highly recommend.”

I can’t recommend Jane highly enough!”

My wife absolutely loved it! Jane is passionate about her work and it shows.

With Jane, you get more than just a jeweler, you get a partner."

— Eli G.

“I met Jane Becker a few years ago to help me with some family jewelry that I never wore as they were not my style. She was able to take some of it and sell for a good price. And she really hustled to get it sold. We used that money to create beautiful diamond studs that I had wanted for some time. She tapped into her personal relationships with diamond dealers and wholesalers to get me the best quality for the best price. She also took some of the old family jewelry and created a beautiful necklace out of it. So all that old jewelry that had been sitting in my closet gathering dust is now converted into something that is my style and I wear regularly.

Another project was taking square diamond studs my husband purchased for me years ago and created a beautiful hanging design. Most recently, she helped me upgrade my engagement ring for my wedding anniversary. Once again, she went to her trusted relationships and made sure we got very high quality for a good price. In fact, she ironically convinced us to spend less because the quality was better for the less expensive piece.

I tend to be on the anxious/paranoid side, especially since there are many untrustworthy people in this business, but I feel very comfortable working with Jane. I tell all my friends about her because I feel that she is very responsive, reliable, punctual, trustworthy, creative, hardworking and patient. Thanks Jane.”

— Carol P.

“I recently contacted Jane to inquire about selling some of my late mother's jewelry. The very first thing that impressed me was how quickly she responded to my email. This was not simply a one-off response--this is the way she does business. Not only does she answer emails promptly, she is honest, caring, accommodating, and extremely knowledgeable.

Jane knows the jewelry business inside and out and, since she has been in the business for many years, has a wealth of excellent connections that she was able to access not only to get the jewelry sold, but at the best possible price. Moreover, she understands that we all have busy, complicated lives, and she went out of her way to make our meetings easy to schedule and conveniently located.

From our very first contact I had no doubt that I was in the best possible hands and that I would be well taken care of, and I was. I cannot recommend Jane highly enough. She is a person of great integrity and I would not hesitate for a moment to call on her again.

Thank you again, Jane!”

— Lisa J.

“Jane is honest, thorough, and keeps up with timely correspondence. She had my ring sold within a month, and I got a great price for it.

I would definitely do business with Jane in the future!”

“I had a terrible experience having my necklace re-strung. Jane Becker solved my problem in a timely manner, for a reasonable cost. Now Jane of JBJewels is my go-to person for any jewelry and/or appraisal needs. She’s TERRIFIC! I’d trust her with anything.”

— Lili W.

“My husband wanted to give me something really special for my birthday and Jane turned it into reality. I owned an antique diamond band that I wanted to re-purpose into a necklace. I brought a sample piece to show Jane what we had in mind and she instantly grasped what we were after.

She designed and delivered an elegant gold and diamond necklace. But what to do with the leftover stones from the diamond band? Jane proposed earrings that matched the graceful curve of the diamond bar of the necklace.

After admiring a beautiful stone Jane was wearing, we also purchased a charming freshwater pearl and pink quartz choker - one of Jane’s original designs! There was no “up-sell” from Jane. She is a total professional with excellent taste and great ideas. She has our highest recommendation.”

— Hildy & Tom D.

”I was going to surprise my wife for her birthday by rebuilding her damaged wedding band, which obviously has great sentimental value. When I met with Jane, she was organized and helpful, explaining every step of the process and providing me with several options affecting the cost and the timing to get the project done right.

When she took possession of the ring she provided me with a receipt and let me know how it would be stored during the process, which gave me immense comfort. Throughout the process Jane sent me multiple emails to keep me up to speed on the status of things and the expected completion date. All this without me asking her to do so.

The finished product was, of course, magnificent and made my wife very happy. I would recommend Jane to anyone and everyone. Trust, Value, and Professionalism are hard to come by.”

— Gary E.

“Jane is a talented jeweler with the natural skill of an artist.

My grandmother’s antique crystal earrings had been sitting in a drawer after I lost a post and had no clue how to fix it. She replaced the post and polished the crystals and it was a chance to rediscover the joy of long-ago memories again.

I’m looking forward to working with her on other broken treasures I had just put aside.”
