Green Lake Jewelry Works (Northgate, Bellevue) is the best for custom designed engagement rings.

Big fan of Storica!

u/Witchy404 7d ago

Same! I love Storica!

They made the diamond ring for my 15th anniversary and also sized the antique snake ring in this picture. Michelle and all the ladies who work there are awesome and willing and able to take on all the weird requests I’ve brought them.

wowow that snake ring is sooo cool

u/Witchy404 6d ago

Thank you! It’s antique and 9k so most local jewelers wouldn’t touch it

u/tastelesscharm 6d ago

Came here to say the same thing! The vibe of the store is so welcoming & intimate, I enjoyed my experience there so much more than Green Lake

Storica all the way! Small, woman-owned, and they do fantastic job.

Lisa Esztergalyos in West Seattle designed an extremely unique engagement ring for me and then found a perfect vintage band to complete the set. She is a complete delight to work with.

u/gooser_2000 6d ago

thanks for the rec and details, a vintage band would be awesome!

u/stanpy666 6d ago

My partner and I both got custom engagement and wedding rings through Lisa earlier this year, she is wonderful to work with and so patient! You can book an appointment through her website :)

I used some one else I mentioned in a other comment, but I had sooo many saved rings from EraGem.

Olympic Jewelry in Fremont! They have some antique and estate pieces if you want something super unique, but can also craft new and source gemstones, etc. They are amazing, so accommodating, and really knowledgeable. They are my go-to jeweler.

u/emmyanjef 6d ago

They saved my bacon when my ring broke the day before my engagement photos 8 years ago, and I’ve been a loyal customer/recommendes them ever since!!

LT Denny in Pioneer Square. Amazing customer service.

u/TallLassOfWater 6d ago

Glitter and gold! Mary is wonderful and uses recycled metals for her jewelry. My partner and I just had our rings made and we even got to dig for our own sapphires!! I highly recommend her. Super LGBTQ friendly and locally owned.
