I've commissioned a number of custom jewelry pieces over the years, from half a dozen jewelers,…read moremostly in the greater Seattle area. And, for the most part, my experiences have been good. But I have to say that Lou Edwards has created what now stands as the most impressive piece I've ever commissioned. This was a very significant project for me: I wanted a special gift for my husband, Jim, to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Jim's special motif is armadillos... he collects them, and he likes to wear silver armadillo pins on his jeans jacket. When we met almost 25 years ago, Jim had an armadillo-ouroboros tattoo on his shoulder... a tattoo he designed himself. And twenty years ago, for our wedding, I'd had a tiny white-gold armadillo lapel pin created for him. So for our 20-year anniversary, I had the idea of commissioning a handcrafted silver and gold pin based on Jim's tattoo. I approached Lou with this project idea, and a couple months later, he turned it into a beautiful reality. Lou somehow managed to make it not only exactly like what I asked for, but even better. He made it even more beautiful and three-dimensional than what I'd had in mind. I adore the 3D details of the little Norse-Viking-ship style head of the armadillo, with the matte gold squiggle and ruby eye, and adorable teeth! The entire thing is so beautiful and perfect that I am at a loss for words. And my husband Jim really loves it, which is the most important thing. I also want to point out that not only is the outcome amazing, but the process of having it created was great, as well. Duvall Jewelers provided me with several updates and previews of how things were going, and was able to get my concerns addressed as the project went along. I got the sense that this was a labor of love for Lou. I appreciate the care and enthusiasm he brought to this project. I love supporting other artists. And if I ever have another custom jewelry project, Lou Edwards will be my first choice.

Shivali and Sam made the design process a breeze. My original ring was a very detailed design that I wanted to match. They truly met the challenge of incorporating the new stone and creating a one of a kind piece. Shivali's design was a true work of art, that went beyond what I could have imagined. The level of detail and craftsmanship in the design they created left me speechless! The pricing at Lake Street for the stone I chose and the design work was far better than I found at any other competitor in the area. Highly recommend!

I'd rather do just about anything else, like spend a Saturday helping a friend move or clean hair from the shower drain. The search for an engagement ring for my partner of 7 years began by feeling like an impossibly daunting task. Like many Millennials, I began my search online. Type in some specs, click, match, choose, done. Easy right? Nope. It felt overwhelming and weird to shop for one of the most important purchases of my adult life online. So I asked a friend where he had gone and he recommended J Rankin. I'm so glad I decided to make the short drive to Edmonds from Seattle. Here are the highlights: -As soon as I walked into the store they were welcoming, knowledgeable, and patient; -I never felt pressured at any point in the process; -They cared about what we wanted in a ring, special ordering stones for me to come back and check out to be sure I chose the right one; -I never felt shamed or silly for my serious lack of ring knowledge; -They worked with me on price. After doing my research, I ended up feeling like I got a great deal for an amazing stone and setting; -Being a local business, they went the extra distance to personally follow up and ensure the quality of their work. The biggest shopping event of my life ended up being a wonderful experience thanks to Katie, John, and Meg. Since then, she said "yes" on top of a mountain and we're happily engaged! She absolutely LOVES the ring. Now, if only J Rankin planned weddings...

The chain is really delicate, so they did charge me $45 so that they could put another layer of gold over it to make it a bit more sturdy. I liked that they were proactive about that and let me know! They put great deal of care into measuring my wrist and making things just right. The bracelet was ready to pickup within a week and looks even better than how I left it! It fits perfectly and I am so grateful. They also have a VERY sweet dog who roams around the shop. I had a great time with the pup while they pulled up my order and info in the back.

I am so glad I came across Mary Elizabeth's website. In her inventory was the most perfect radiant parti-colored Montana sapphire that I dreamed of. From the beginning she was so helpful and sweet. I was initially worried that designing my rings long-distance (I live in Texas) would be too difficult, but she made the process so easy for me through thorough communication and plenty of pictures/videos of different options that we wanted to explore. I have difficulty making decisions and she was very helpful in showing me all the options I requested. I really enjoyed the process of working with her. Mary Elizabeth absolutely made my dream a reality with my rings and I am so glad I decided to create them with her. She created exactly what I envisioned (actually, even better than envisioned.) It really makes a difference to work with a jeweler that is artistically talented, personable, and willing to explore all of your creative ideas. Also, her pricing was very reasonable and the craftsmanship of her work is wonderful. She also was quick on communication and creating the finished product. I am still so in love with my rings. They are more beautiful than I ever imagined. I admire my engagement ring daily and sometimes wear my wedding ring around the house because I love it so much (we are getting married next year!) Mary Elizabeth did an amazing job and I highly recommend her as a jeweler. I will be working with her again someday! Mackenzie
