Jewels
By Joe is one of the few companies in the International Jewelry Center that is open to the public. There are a lot of

Looking for an engagement ring? Well, look here first for extraordinary settings and stones including fancy yellow diamonds

Make no mistake about it, diamond prices are down 30% or more because of the
recession and that's why the values are even greater at Jewels By Joe. While gold and platinum prices have risen, the
fact is that gold and platinum makes up only a small fraction of the price of diamond jewelry so you will still save a lot
of money here and still get the highest quality. There are diamond stud earrings with one carat total weight starting
at $800, and exquisite white gold and diamond hoop earrings starting at $300. Jewelry here can be styled with colored
stones including sapphires, rubies, emeralds, peridot, amethyst and blue topaz. They also buy and sell gold and silver
