I am SO happy I chose to have my custom ring made here!…read more Initially, I discussed this project with another jeweler who was wildly overcharging me, so I decided to shop around. That's when I connected with Michelle at Seattle Diamond Company, and she completely exceeded every expectation. I reached out via email with my target budget. To be honest, while it was a fair budget, it was definitely ambitious--about half of what the previous jeweler had quoted me. Michelle replied the very same day, confident that we could bring the design to life within my number. My project was unique because I already had my center gemstone and needed two custom side diamonds along with a heavy gold mounting. Michelle took the time to hunt down an incredible deal on the side stones. I even offered to consider lab-grown diamonds to stay on budget, but Michelle insisted that for a custom heirloom piece, natural diamonds were the way to go. She sourced a stunning, bright pair of natural F-color, VS1 step-cut trapezoids that fit right into my budget. When it came to the CAD design and wax model, Michelle was wonderfully collaborative. I wanted to make a few tweaks to the stone angles and proportions, and instead of pushing back or rushing the build, she listened and agreed with my adjustments. I never felt pressured at any point in the process. When I came in to try on the wax model with the stones set in place, she walked me through the pros and cons of different metals. She managed to craft the entire setting in rich 18k yellow gold without blowing past my budget, never trying to push 14k just to pad their margins. She genuinely cared about making sure I ended up with a piece I loved. The final ring turned out far more gorgeous than I could have ever imagined (the photos speak for themselves)! Overall, Seattle Diamonds has pricing that is transparent and fair, and the craftsmanship and customer service are unmatched. There is not a single thing I would change about this entire experience. I will definitely be returning for any future jewelry projects. Thank you so much, Michelle!

I had an incredibly unpleasant experience here…read more It was a beautiful day and we were walking around U Village, shopping and browsing, and decided to stop into this store since I had never been before. When we walked in, there was no greeting, which wasn't a big deal--we continued browsing. Eventually, one of the employees asked, "Looking for something?" We said nothing specifically, just browsing, and continued looking around. I found a few pieces I liked and asked if I could try something on. While trying on a Spinelli ring, I asked whether they carried it in other colors. The response was, "Well, we can order it for you if you wanted." The tone came across as incredibly dismissive. I then asked about the materials and how the mixed metals hold up with wear. The response was essentially, "Well, it's jewelry. It has wear and tear as you wear it." I was honestly taken aback. I wasn't asking an unreasonable question--I was genuinely trying to understand how the piece would hold up before potentially spending a significant amount of money on it. I explained that I own other mixed-metal jewelry and had experienced issues where the metals rubbing against each other affected the shape over time. She responded, "Well, I've never heard of that happening, and that makes no sense." At that point, I was just stunned by the level of condescension. I have never experienced customer service like this at a jewelry store, especially one selling pieces at this price point. I genuinely felt like I was being treated as though I didn't know what I was talking about rather than having a normal conversation with a potential customer. What made the experience even more uncomfortable was that we were the only younger, non-white customers in the store at the time. I can't say for certain why we were treated this way, and I don't want to make assumptions, but I couldn't help wondering whether our age, race, or even the way we were dressed influenced how we were perceived. We weren't dressed particularly fancy that day, but that shouldn't determine whether someone receives basic courtesy and respect. Ironically, I've received better customer service at Happy Lemon. I was genuinely interested in several pieces and would have been willing to spend a significant amount of money here, but after this experience, I wouldn't purchase anything from this store. There are plenty of other places where I can spend my money and be treated with basic respect. Very disappointing experience, and unfortunately I would not recommend this store.

Over the years, I've visited several coin shops throughout Seattle, Bellevue, and…read moreLynnwood--sometimes to check the value of a piece, other times to sell old scrap gold or silver. After all of those experiences, the only shop I consistently return to and wholeheartedly recommend is the Seattle Coin Shop. What sets them apart is their honesty and professionalism. Having worked in retail for years, including in a shop that purchased jewelry and coins, I have a decent sense of how these transactions should work. At many places, you can feel rushed, undervalued, or unsure if you're getting a fair assessment. At Seattle Coin Shop, it's the complete opposite. Every time I've brought something in--whether it was a single coin, or mixed scrap items--they've taken the time to explain what I have, how they assess its value, and what factors influence their offer. There's never any pressure, and they're patient with questions. Their evaluations have always felt transparent and straightforward, which is rare in this type of industry. Most importantly, it's the only shop where I've consistently walked away feeling confident that I was treated honestly and fairly--that peace of mind matters, especially when dealing with items that have monetary or sentimental value. Seattle Coin Shop is the only place I trust, and the only one I recommend to anyone looking to buy, sell, or simply learn more about their coins or precious metals.

I loved getting to see the final-contender stones in person, and the finished ring turned out even more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. Excellent craftsmanship and it's truly exactly what I was hoping for and more! How often does that happen in life?

We had an awful…read moreexperience previously with another business in Bellevue, so we were not sure what to expect, but our experience at Storica was quite different. The shop is beautiful, the selection was lovely and the service was great. It was exactly what we were looking for! Now, I have to say that we did not book ahead, we just dropped in, which I recommend doing. We had previously made the huge mistake of scheduling an appointment with the other place in Bellevue (which requires a credit card), so when we decided we didn't want to purchase anything, we got charged $25 (for looking at their bracelet selection for like 5 mins!), which felt very predatory. I've noticed that permanent jewelry places often require some type of deposit, which is completely ridiculous. I am not sure whether Storica has the same policy, but since we just dropped in, it wasn't an issue at all. Their jewelry is beautiful and it wasn't hard to find something we both loved. I totally recommend this place and will be back if I decide to get something else.
