For some reason the storefront made me think that the inside was going to be different than it was. I was very surprised to find more of a traditional gem shop inside then a jewelry shop which is what I think I expected I was amazed at how well the staff knew about all the different Stones and gems There were so many different pieces of each kind to look at and choose from. The prices were very reasonable compared to other places I have been If I was in the market for these types of things, I could've definitely found something there to purchase and would've been very happy with it I would definitely recommend it to others read more

We have lived in Edmonds for 37 years and have never needed jewelry repair of any kind. A few week back, my wife decided to get a prong fixed on her wedding ring which is forty years old ( this year ). She had driven by Elegant Gems several times and decided to stop in for an estimate. When she came home, she told me about this little shop on 5th with this really nice fellow that KNOWS ALOT about gems and such. He did give her an estimate of the repair and explained the issues clearly. I then decided to up the anty and surprise her with a bigger diamond, so I snuck down and met with Brent. He showed me three different options and clearly explained the different grades, handing out a very gentle re-education to loose stones. I decided on one and the ring turned out just stellar and best of all, my wife went all nuts. This was perfect on so many levels and Brent's simply the best. read more

Came here to get my watch battery replaced. Called ahead to ensure walk-in was ok and it was. Unfortunately the battery replacement took way longer than anticipated, but I wasn't in a hurry so it didn't bother me. The person who did the work (assuming to be the owner) knows his stuff! Appreciated the attentiveness of the work to be done. Also, even if the complication of the battery getting stuck I wasn't charged for the service even after I offered and would have even given him a tip!! I plan on returning (with a different watch) whenever I need replacements! Highly recommend. Also the jewelry shop is quaint and seems to have unique pieces. read more

I have a stunning 8-diamond ring ( 2 rows of four diamonds) in a lovely white gold setting that Dad bought for Mom about 45 years ago. He never bought anything but genuine and the paperwork said it was 1.3 total carats and the price was over $1,500. I inherited it when Mom died. Getting old myself now, and having no daughters to bequeath it to, I decided I would sell it and do something satisfying and nice for myself. It's the last piece of valuable jewelry I inherited from her. A friend told me about Bret Malgarin & Elegant Gems in Edmonds. I took it there. He spent time inspecting the ring, then looked me in the eyes and told me: "I can give you $75 for it". Shocked, I left the store and then sadness set in, and then , anger. He may have a pretty store, great location, and some nice things to look at but beware if you want to be treated fairly. read more

Wonderful shop for small presents for friends. Inexpensive watch battery replacement. I look forward to having a Jewellery pace fabricated.

Elegant Gems has some of the most beautiful pieces of jewelry I've ever seen. The owner is so knowledgeable that its a pleasure to shop in his store, and to have confidence in the pieces he sells. I highly recommend at least stopping in to see the extraordinary pieces this shop has to offer and having a chat with Brent. read more

Elegant Gems is an amazing place! They have so many unique pieces to choose from and some really exquisite stones. The place is very warm and inviting and Brent is very knowledgeable. You can tell right away he has a love for what he does and wants to make sure that his customers are educated about what they are purchasing and happy with there decision. It is not your average jewelry store, it is in a class of its own. I love the fact that you can sit down with Brent and explain to him what you are looking for and he can help you find it. I have also had older jewelry repaired, the price for the repair was very reasonable and the turnaround time was exactly what Brent said it would be. Every time I stop in, I not only learn something new from Brent, I always find another stunning piece of jewelry to gaze upon! You should definitely stop in to see what they have to offer. read more

I can't say enough good things about this jeweler. The knowledge of the owner and quality of his pieces are unparalleled.

We wanted a simple custom piece for our daughter's birth stone. We went to several jewelry stores before finding Brent's boutique. The experience was not salesy, but educational. It feels very high end to sit down at a desk with a gem expert and talk shop rather than stand on a sales floor. Brent knew more than anyone else we spoke with - more by far. We were provided with a selection of top quality emeralds that fit our exact specifications. The finished product has made us very happy. Even though I'd rate the pricing as high-end, it's fair market value. You get what you pay for. I can't imagine working with anyone else for fine jewelry in the future. read more
