I was in a jam and landed in this store. I went to two gems stores in N. Seattle and both of them were closed - I wasn't happy to drive to Edmonds but I did what needed to be done. I was leaving for a business trip and wanted to give a few gifts to a group of women I was meeting.

Read moreI am a HUGE fan of The Wishing Stone! Beautiful silver jewelry! Each piece is hand-selected by gemologist, Janet Yoshikawa, the owner. Janet and her staff are super friendly, professional and very helpful by assisting you with finding that special gift for your friends and loved ones. Rocks, gems, fossils and crystals... books about rocks, gems, fossils and crystals too. Just look for the GIANT dinosaur in the front window of her Edmonds store! I have been collecting pieces of jewelry and crystals from The Wishing Stone for 15 years. Many are original designs from around the world. The store is kid-friendly too. I can't say enough good things about this treasure chest, The Wishing Stone!!!...
