This past weekend, I popped into Joseph Jewelry in Seattle to sadly get my wedding ring cut off my…read morefinger (due to sudden illness). To say they were kind and accommodating is an understatement. They handled my situation with care, and my ring can be resized and fixed when I get back home. Their jewelry was gorgeous to boot! If my husband were with me, we would have been walking out with a new band right then and there. Very highly recommend it for jewelry emergencies or otherwise.

Now that my project has been completed, I owe an updated review. I'm giving an overall 4-star score…read moreprimarily because of the pricing. While the customer service is great, they charge a significant premium for being considered "premier" jewelers in Bellevue. I initially brought in a special gemstone with a chip to get repolished. I was originally quoted around $1,000, which felt very high. After I mentioned finding a place in Kent that quoted $300, they brought their price down to around $450. The repolishing job turned out fantastic! Since they did a great job on the gem, I decided to ask about making a custom ring. I wanted a size 10 gold setting with two small accent diamonds. They found three diamond pairs ranging from 1.14-1.33 total carats. Their estimated total for the 14k gold setting and natural diamond pair came out to $14,050-$17,956, which is very high for a ring, in my opinion. When I asked about lab-grown diamonds instead, the estimate dropped to $9,800-$10,300. Breaking down the math: They estimated $5,000-$6,500 for just the 14k gold setting itself. That leaves roughly $4,000-$5,000 for a ~1.33 ctw pair lab-grown diamond pair, which based on my search online should only typically costs a few hundred dollars. That is an enormous markup! I decided to go with another local jeweler who quoted around $8,000 total to make the exact ring in higher-grade 18k gold, including CAD design, setting, and two side diamonds (~0.70 ctw). Overall, the customer service here was great and the store atmosphere is lovely, but the pricing carries a massive markup compared to the rest of the market. Taking off one star purely for the cost.

Donna greeted me with a genuine warmth that told me she loves what she does. She's incredibly patient, taking the time to explain the nuances of history in the antique pieces, the metals, stones, and settings in a way that makes sense. She encouraged curiosity, inviting me to try on anything that sparked joy, no pressure--just possibilities. Brandon and Sean kept the energy high with their easy smiles and readiness to help whenever needed. The whole team made it feel less like a purchase and more like a thoughtful journey toward something meaningful. When we decided to upgrade our wedding rings, the experience only got better. I found a beautiful Art Deco piece that just fits what I was looking for perfectly. We both found pieces we love, the price was fair, and the service was flawless from start to finish. If you want a jewelry shopping experience that's educational, stress-free, and truly welcoming--where you're treated like family--this is the place to go. Five stars from us.

She made me feel very comfortable and was patient in helping me decide what size to size down to. I was debating between 4 and 3 7/8 for a long time and she advised doing a size 4 because I will eventually wear it with a wedding band, and having 2 rings apparently makes it feel tighter. So I tried on some sample wedding bands while I was there to get a feel of it, and she was right! Something I never would have known myself. Also incredibly fast service - 2 day turnaround time. When I went to pick up my ring, Lisa also let me know that I could stop by whenever to get my ring cleaned on the house. She truly cares about her clients and is happy to lend a helping hand and I so appreciate that about her! Cost was $110 pre tax, about $121 post tax.
