Rave Reviews

"Designs by Joi, Inc. designs are very fun, original, and sassy like Joi Frankel herself. We've had a wonderful response from our customers to all of Joi's designs whether it's pearl, gold, and gems or her sterling silver creations. Our customers love the choices and flexibility that wearing her designs gives them. If our customers want to change something Joi is very accommodating with special requests."

"For twenty-five years I have been buying jewelry from Designs by Joi. Joi is an honest individual who treats her clients like friends as opposed to merely business associates. Joi's innovative designs, fair pricing and sound business practices are a model for the industry. I always look forward to seeing Joi Frankel (and her new introductions) in New York or any of the shows."

My jewelry store was opened in 1977 in downtown, St. Petersburg, Florida. From its conception, our philosophy has - and always will be - to carry the most unique high-quality jewelry available.

This is how I first was introduced to Joi Frankel's 'Designs by Joi'. While on a mission to enhance my inventory in New York City in 1979 or 1980, I was drawn to Joi's creations. Her passion was contagious and was easily translated to my employees and onto our customers. The first pieces purchased I let my wife wear, receiving rave reviews. Women love wearing 'Designs By Joi'.

From Joi's simple designs to her more exotic jewelry, they all sell, time and time again...I sampled all and am still enjoying and reaping the benefits ($) of carrying her line. At times, having Joi re-create a piece that sold for me years ago, only to find that it is still desirable!

Timeless designs, GREAT value, and fantastic customer service will keep Bernie's and Son Jewelers loyal customers to Designs by Joi, Inc."

"We've carried Designs by Joi for approximately four years now. It is a fun, unique fashion line that we're able to retail at great price points. Her styles stand out in our cases and don't blend in with other looks. As far as a company, Joi is awesome to work with. She is very willing to help us accommodate our customer's needs. If it is an issue of time, Joi will make it happen! It is becoming increasingly more challenging to remain competitive as an independent retailer. It's nice to have a designer who is so friendly to the independents."

"My introduction to the world of Designs by Joi began about 5 years ago. From the start what excitement and fun I experienced both from Joi Frankel herself and from her designs. She is always interested in feedback and input from her retailers. Joi will design something based upon your description, which is great for filling a spot you are missing or for implementing a look that your customers have been interested in. Joi is one of the easiest designers to work with in all aspects-design, delivery, price points, and value. She wants the line to sell as much as the retailer does and she constantly works at making sure that happens. It is much to Joi's credit that the line has worked well for Perrywinkle's."

"I have been doing business with Designs by Joi, Inc. since I began in this business 8 years ago. I love her ability to create very fashionable looks while maintaining a great price point. I always tell my customers "At this price, you can always afford to be fashionable and change your jewelry as styles change!" Joi's pieces always have a great consistent quality and are delivered on time. Her pieces really add something special to your showcases that you aren't going to get from anyone else. She is also a great source for baby jewelry, and Mom gifts and that is sometimes a tough category to find unique pieces. Once you meet Joi in person, you will see exactly where the bold, fun personality in her pieces comes from. If you are not doing business with Designs by Joi, you are missing something very special in your store!"

"The Alaska Mint is always looking for unique designs to add to our product line. Four years ago we found a pendant that Designs by Joi made that was featured in the JCK Magazine. After receiving the catalog we were pleased to find that there were many pieces that really fit well with our style of jewelry. The pieces are timeless and appeal to our customers. Joi is always great to work with. She really listens to what we need and comes up with great ideas of products that will sell well in our store. Most times the pieces arrive the very next day. Which is important to us because of the short season that we have in Alaska."

"JANY 1998. I was walking through the aisles of the Javits when I come across this booth, "Designs By Joi", and this petite, bright-eyed lady was busy with a number of clients. I had just started my jewelry business in Jamaica and was looking for "the perfect line" for my clients. That's the day I met Joi and my business launched. Not only did she have a great line with the most perfect price points, she was dignified, honorable and trustworthy. Joi is an inspiration, a teacher, and most importantly a friend to me.

"Designs by Joi" is always evolving with the times and current fashions without blending in with the rest. I am always impressed by her ingenuity and dedication to quality. With all the experience and education Joi is always willing to make any little change just to satisfy her customers. As long as I'm in the jewelry business, Joi will be the one I go to."
