About Janine Design

If you love jewelry that feels personal—not mass-produced—

you’re in the right place.

 

 

I’m Janine Gerade, the designer and maker behind Janine Design in Holliston, Massachusetts. I create handmade jewelry and meaningful gifts, and I’m also known locally for costume jewelry repairs that many stores won’t handle—from restringing beads to fixing clasps and giving well-loved pieces a second life.

Why I do this

Jewelry holds stories: anniversaries, travel, music, milestones, and the everyday moments that matter. My goal is simple—make pieces you’ll actually reach for and help you keep wearing the jewelry you already love.

What you’ll find here

• Handmade jewelry designed and assembled with care in New England

• Gift-ready packaging so it’s easy to send something special

• Repairs welcome (especially costume jewelry and sentimental pieces)

• Custom work when you want something one-of-a-kind for a specific moment

My background (the short version)

My love of jewelry started young—playing with my grandmother’s beads and treasures—and it grew into formal training in fine arts and metalsmithing, plus a background in graphic design. Over the years, my work has been featured in jewelry and fashion publications, and I’m proud to be part of a community that supports handmade.

A note from me

“I love creating pieces for special moments—and helping you bring old favorites back to life.”
