I wanted to surprise my wife with a piece of custom jewelry for our 20th anniversary. The challenge was that my wife doesn’t wear rings, and I wasn’t sure what else she’d like, just that she’s not a fan of yellow gold. I reached out to Seattle Fine Jewelry and met with Nancy to get some ideas. I was impressed. She asked me about my wife’s hobbies and interests to help us think outside the (jewelry) box.
My wife is an avid reader, and carries her Kindle everywhere, so Nancy suggested a custom Kindle cover with 20 gems (one per year of our marriage) in my wife’s favorite colors. What a great idea! The three diamonds represent me and our two sons. The gems are in a design in one corner of the cover, so they aren’t in the way when she’s reading. Nancy was very patient and helpful throughout the design process. I learned a lot about gems in the process. Her husband is the bench jeweler who makes the pieces, so he reviewed the design and figured out how to construct this truly unique piece.
They did an excellent job! Fine craftsmanship that looks just like the design. They included an appraisal for our insurance company. I couldn’t be happier with the result. Now my wife has a truly unique anniversary gift, and as she says “It goes with any outfit!” She was curious what happens if she upgrades her Kindle, and Nancy reassured us that they can move the design to a new cover, using the existing materials.
I highly recommend Seattle Fine Jewelry, especially if you’re looking for a local,...
Read moreI wish I could give more than five stars to Seattle Fine Jewelry for the excellent work they did on my antique ring, for their professionalism, and for how clearly and directly they communicated with me throughout the process. I came to Seattle Fine Jewelry with an Art Deco ring that needed significant resizing and substantial repair. Nancy and the team at SFJ were straightforward with me about cost and timelines, and their work on my ring was exceptional. They resized my ring perfectly and repaired a mis-set diamond (turns out the last owner repaired it with GLUE. Just...what?! Unreal). When the repair brought up unexpected issues, Nancy explained things clearly and showed me photos of what they were talking about. In about two weeks, my ring was sparkling and ready to come home. I will definitely be working with SFJ again in the future, and I can't recommend them...
Read moreHad such a wonderful, genuine, and personable experience with the owner, Nancy. She took us through a thoughtful journey of learning what my fiancé and I wanted, testing different designs, and finalizing the perfect fit! This was such a customized experience and the design rounds for my wedding band really helped me complete my dream ring pairing! My fiancé was also able to seamlessly create, resize, and redesign his wedding band to cater to his vision and comfort. It was clear from the moment we walked in, Nancy and her husband were extremely passionate and knowledgable about their craft. Every time we stopped by, Nancy took the time to explain our options, give attention to detail, and go above and beyond with making us feel confident in our choices. Overall, this small business truly deserves customers that care about quality jewelery and an empowering...
