The woman I spoke with did provide the information I was looking for, but her tone came across as unnecessarily short and somewhat snobbish. She made comments along the lines of, "You should just bring your pearl here so we can look," and, "You don't even know the names of the parts you're looking for." I understood what she was trying to imply--that bringing the pearl in would make it easier for them to identify the appropriate components--but there's definitely a more helpful and welcoming way to phrase that, especially when someone is new to jewelry making and simply trying to learn. I'll continue going to the store, as my previous experiences have been positive, but this interaction was disappointing.

So I was thrilled when Jade called me back in about an hour and I was able to pick it up, take it to my meeting, and present the gift.

I can't recommend Ace Frames. As a Kirkland resident I wanted to give my business to a local shop, so I brought a moderately large original piece to "Al" to be reframed. The experience was, let's say, sub-optimum. - I didn't take this piece elsewhere to cost it out, but based on previous experience, his prices are at the high end. - It took 5 weeks to get the piece back, when I was led to expect 2-3 weeks. And I have the feeling that if I hadn't started calling regularly after almost a month, it might have taken longer. - In all my visits, Al seemed disorganized, overwhelmed and unhappy. When I stopped by the shop after 4 weeks to check on progress, he literally couldn't find my artwork. There are plenty of other options for a framing shop, and no reason to deal with the stress and uncertainty of going here.

We compared the sample noted in the order (grayish color), and the result (almost black) and the difference was obvious. The store personnel informed me they cannot control how the color of the frame would turn out ...? They offered to re-do everything with a different wood but their selection was quite limited (and if the color isn't something that is guaranteed - what is the point to redo the work? Also, the wood in that frame wasn't completely finished and they had to stain parts of it over. The quality of frames degraded, but prices doubled up. I was very disappointed.

It's getting tougher and tougher to find a frame shop you can count on to offer both good work and…read moreprices you can afford. It's not that they're all out to rob you, I don't think, it's just a more-expensive business than it used to be. And too many of them rely on prominent locations to get noticed. That real estate comes with (literally) a cost. Enter Garrett's Framing Studio. They're in a small strip mall set back not just from a main road but from a side street, too. They have a big suite with plenty of space, and they do a ton of work in-house. I found this out after realizing I not only had a backlog of stuff I've been wanting to frame, but would actually have a little wall space again after giving a few things away. I contacted a few places to see about prices and services, and none of them really got back that quickly (Garrett's included). These guys ended up being my first phone call after all my emails went nowhere, and he quickly walked me through a few ways to finish my projects for less money than I might have thought. Instant interest. I ended up framing a couple things myself with store-bought kits, and put all my focus on a nice piece that's been rolled up for a couple years, waiting for attention. Garrett was behind the counter when I brought it in. He had already juggled emails and phone calls from me as well as an email from my sister about buying me a gift certificate to put toward the project. He walked us through all the matte and frame options, with tons of creative input and advice on criteria to use while deciding. But it was all very low-key, and he never acted like he was the only person in the room who knew anything about framing. He even noticed that the piece was signed, without having to have that pointed out, and adjusted the matte size accordingly. We picked something in under 10 minutes, and he offered advice on the most cost-effective glass for the piece. The price is still a little higher than an old geezer like me is used to, but that's geezer life for ya. He ended up being super-responsive on email once the project was underway, and proactive, too--always thoughtful with communication. I picked up my piece a couple weeks later, as promised, and it's hanging now just across from the desk in my office. I couldn't be happier. I've always liked having framed stuff around the house, to the point where now I have all the stuff I can handle. It's awesome to be able to add one more.
