    Justine, I really empathize with your problem, and wish that I had
    some trenchant advice for you. BUT, I think that you do not need
    business advice as much as you need a professional mediator or Priest
    or Rabbi or Imam, or Minister (your choice) to help you work this out
    with your parents. 

    Let's hope that you can resolve this by negotiation, and not through
    the courts. 

    Also, my opinion of the legal question (though I am NOT a lawyer,) is
    that the 200 designs definitely are your legal property. YOU owned
    the copyright when you created to work, unless you had signed a 'work
    for hire' agreement with your parents. 

    The signs which say "award winning jeweler on premesis" are
    FRAUDULENT, which should be brought up to them (but gently) if it is
    necessary. 

...just my opinion.
