BAY DESIGN CO.

Creating a unique, one of a kind piece of jewelry doesn’t have to be so daunting.  We Can Help! The custom process is actually very easy!  When you visit the store we start by working up sketches of your ideas. You don’t have to make detailed pictures or be an artist to draw your idea. Many of our customers just describe what they want and we do the rest. If you would like to bring in a doodle on a napkin or look through some books at our store we will figure it out.  The questions we ask at this step, along with the drawings, will give our craftsman the information needed to continue with a wax model for casting. After this model is finished, we have you come in to view it. This way you can see your original idea in 3-D, and you know the jewelry will look the same as ours.  We offer computer aided design, plasma arc welding, and all the traditional metal forming techniques to make the jewelry you want in the latest styles.

Our History  1993 Bay Design was opened as a whole sale job shop downtown Janesville in the Dube’s building. We servicing fifteen companies between Madison and Chicago. 1994 In 1994 our retail business started to grow by word of mouth. By 1998 we had to move from the small down town office in order to better serve our customers. 1999 We moved to our current location in October of 1999. Over the next year we phased out our wholesale operations to focus on our retail. We are now a full service jeweler that does all our work in the store with our own craftsmen. I know it;s not much for history nut that is our journey.

Bay Design Custom Jewelers buys your old gold, silver, and platinum jewelry. We also buy the gems set in them. Bring in your silver table service and silver ware. We can also sort through your jewelry to tell you what is real or costume for no charge.We can’t quote you price until we see your jewelry. Bring it in let us take a look. Unlike other stores we pay cash on the spot not a check.

Don’t ask for an APPRASIAL just tell us you want to sell some jewelry and we will quote you a price. It will save a lot of time and confusion.No you won’t get retail price for your jewelry because we are buying it for scrap. We break up the jewelry for refining and reuse the stones if they are undamaged or not worn. The price you hear on the news is for pure gold called bullion. The 10k, 14k and 18k gold that your jewelry is made of indicates how pure that alloy is. That means an ounce of 14k gold is only 58.5% pure gold. That is why an ounce 14k is not the same price as an ounce of bullion.
