During a very busy 2008, despite the demands of managing her business and a second pregnancy, Miss D'Amico found time to teach jewelry design to young students at Mott Hall in Manhattan. And also in 2008, her Yanomami-inspired collection, Sweet Leaf, was unveiled at trade events and was featured in WWD, Accessories Magazine and Essence Magazine in 2008, and Fine Jewelry Magazine in 2009.
Miss D'Amico spent significant time on goodwill endeavours during 2009-2012, supporting such notable causes as The Co-Op School of Brooklyn, Friend's of Karen, Youth Assets, The Urban Assembly Academy of Arts & Letters, P.S. 9, and Brooklyn's St. Nicks Alliance. In May 2012, the company's first store, Lady J +1, opened in Prospect Heights as the first 'Brooklyn-only' showcase featuring indie local artists. In July 2012, the Icicle Collection was launched, and has quickly become the best-selling line in the company's existence.
