JB Star Information and FAQ

About JB Star Jewelry

JB Star is a luxury jewelry brand founded in 1979 by Rafael Fouzailoff, whose family roots in the diamond trade go back to 1946, when his father became one of Israel's most respected manufacturers of loose diamonds. Every JB Star piece is entirely handcrafted in the brand's own Fifth Avenue, New York facility, using only platinum and 18K gold alongside carefully selected diamonds and gemstones. Each finished piece is individually inspected, signed, and numbered as a mark of authenticity. King Jewelers is proud to carry JB Star for customers seeking genuinely handmade, heirloom-quality fine jewelry with real New York craftsmanship behind it.

History of JB Star

JB Star's story begins in 1946, when Rafael Fouzailoff's father became one of the largest and most respected manufacturers of loose diamonds in Israel, building decades of expertise in stone quality and craftsmanship. Rafael grew up immersed in that world, developing an early appreciation for diamonds not just as a commodity, but as a medium for design. In 1979, he brought that inherited knowledge to New York City and founded JB Star, establishing a workshop on Fifth Avenue where every piece is still designed and handcrafted today. Rather than outsourcing production, JB Star has built its reputation on keeping every stage of the process in-house — from design and stone-setting to final inspection — with each finished piece individually signed and numbered. Now with decades of history behind it, JB Star remains a family-driven business, continuing to produce jewelry entirely by hand in the same New York facility where Rafael Fouzailoff started it.
