Alisa Unger, chief executive officer of Alisa Unger Designs/B&N Jewelry, is a seasoned professional in the jewelry business. Alisa's history in the industry dates back to her childhood where her parents owned and operated Gem Jewelers in her hometown of Lakeland, Florida. A small town independent jeweler, she spent her youth behind the counter-watching customers and studying the needs and desires. She would also draw jewelry designs onto napkins when times were slow in the store.

After graduating from the University of South Florida, Alisa found her husband while working in the jewelry business. It took seventeen years to turn Alisa's napkin drawings from her youth into models. As a surprise for Alisa's birthday, her husband, Jeff Unger, found her drawings and had them made into models, cast and set with diamonds. Alisa's first designs were now out in the open with her first showing at the Independent Jewelers Organization (IJO) tradeshow in Palm Springs, CA the spring of 2003. The pieces quickly became popular with the retail jewelers from IJO. Today, her collection has grown from the original five styles to over 205 designs.
