Janet Sterling Silver Design

Really good quality materials, excellent service and beautiful design matters to Janet, and it shows in her work. I own a number of her pieces and they’re great for day-​to-​day wear as well as special occasions. Janet really cares about what she’s making and she is very knowledgeable about metals and stones, so you can even get great service/​advice for how to clean and maintain the pieces you buy. Her website is extremely user-​friendly and I highly recommend the textured silver pieces — the shine from the texturing looks good in any light. I get compliments all the time.

I signed up for the Janet Jewelry mailing list a couple years ago (I think because of seeing her ad in Giant Robot). After looking at her site for a couple years, I finally purchased an Origami Tsuru necklace from the site last year. I don’t remember how long the delivery time took but I remember it being shorter than I thought it would be.
The necklace was packaged in a necklace length cardboard box in a plastic baggie and came with a handwritten thank you card from Vicky (also enclosed was her business card with her title — Customer Care/​Associate Store Manager), postcards with some of their other items, Janet Sterling Silver Design post-​it notes, and some candy. The personalized touch was really nice and I was very pleased with the quality of the necklace.
There are some beautiful pieces on the site and some really cute items that can be personalized. I plan to purchase from here again sometime in the near future — makes great gifts (for friends, family, AND myself)!

My wife and I have been patrons of Janet Masamitsu (and her assistant Vicky) for the past few years… since 2002 I think. She’s made custom rings for our anniversary, a beautiful blue topaz set for last year’s holidays and shipped product all the way to Germany when we were living there. My wife must have a dozen pieces by now. When we’ve asked for adjustable spacers to be added to necklaces and anklets so that they would sit differently based on my wife’s mood, she took care of it with no issue or added cost.
Not only are her designs unique, but when a gemstone fell off of one of my wife’s earrings, she found a matching stone, made the replacement and shipped it back at no cost. As an artist and a business person, she seems to stand behind her work.
The shop is a small space divided evenly between her workshop and the retail area and showcases all of her current designs.
