My (soon to be ;) fiance and I had the most amazing experience designing my engagement ring with Sophia. I'm so happy that we decided to go with this place. I was a little nervous about being able to get the ring I wanted here, because the ones that they showcase on their website and IG, while beautiful, weren't exactly what I had in mind for my ring. I wanted something very traditional and clean which showcases the center stone. They do custom work here so, when I told Sophia what I wanted, she was able to pull some samples that were the style I was looking for. She understood right away what I wanted, and I fell in love with one of the samples she showed us. We made some tweaks to the metal and accent stones, and were able to select the center stone that we wanted as well. I love that they do everything in house from design to creation; it makes me feel really safe knowing that my ring isn't getting shipped from somewhere else. Most importantly, we felt extremely comfortable working with Sophia and there was zero pressure at all. She mocked up our design, gave us details and let us know how to get in touch if we wanted to move forward. Although we had a couple of other places in mind to check out I knew immediately after leaving Green Lake Jewelry that this was the place I wanted to go with. My boyfriend paid the deposit the same day and the timelines that Sophia gave were spot on. Within 3 weeks we had a wax model to try on, and my final ring was ready 6 weeks after signing off on the wax model. Now all that is left to do is wait for the big day so I finally get to wear my beautiful ring. I can't wait and we will definitely be getting our wedding bands from here. Thank you so much Sophia and the wonderful Green Lake Jewelry Team.

I arrived at Green Lake Jewelry Works expecting to browse their merchandise, and leave with a few ideas for an engagement ring to present to my spouse. I was promptly greeted by Erich, who was extremely friendly and helped educate me about the option of having a ring custom made. He was very polite throughout the whole process. He actively listened to all the ideas that we had while sharing a few suggestions of his own, and together we sketched up a few designs for a finished product. I wasn't initially expecting to put a deposit down on a ring that day, but by the end of our conversations I truly felt that I could trust Erich...not to mention the fact that the quality of their work was impressive. We emailed back and forth for a few weeks as Erich shared with me the 3D CAD and wax models, which we made a couple adjustments to along the way to better fit my needs. Even after all the adjustments were made we stayed within budget, which was very close to the estimate Erich provided to me on the first day. In the end I could not have been more pleased with the outcome, and I'm certain my fiancé would agree considering how much she has been showing off her new ring to everyone! Thanks again, Erich :)

I reached out to Green Lake Jewelry (per a friend's recommendation) with just a hint of an idea for a custom designed engagement ring. The designer I worked with, Christine D, helped me bring it to life with creative suggestions, expert knowledge, and willingness to answer all my questions. I came in feeling like a novice, but we landed on a spectacular design and priced out the ring in no time. From there, Christine kept me updated on every stage of the process, which was so great for my peace of mind – especially because all of this was happening during a cross-country move (on that note, I should add that Green Lake Jewelry can handle the entire process remotely, and it's like you're right there in the studio). I had a feeling my girlfriend (now fiancée ) would be excited about the design, but nothing could have really prepared me for her reaction. She was absolutely blown away, and I have Christine, Dat, Thomas, and the rest of the team to thank for that. Highly recommend working with this team, whether you're in the Seattle area or not. Can't imagine a better experience.

I had the fortunate opportunity to work with Ben at the Bellevue office. I had very high standards for a responsible and ethically source ring, from the metal to the diamond, and design practices. Green Lake Jewelry Works went above and beyond what I expected and crafted a gorgeous ring with all of my requirements. If you are someone that wants to know the source of your stone and metal and the people that are designing and building your ring, this is the place. While I grew up in the Seattle area I now live in Hawaii and GLJW's was able to send photos of both CAD imagery and wax molds directly to my design page so I could share my input and review their processes. It was completely transparent - which is how it should be. I was also extremely impressed in their ability to meet my budget and kept well within the outer means of said budget. I am going back to GLJW's for my next design of our wedding bands and will be a returning customer for my life and hopefully my kids one day. Much love to GLJW! I think the photo says it all, it came out beautifully!

I wanted to design new wedding and engagement rings for my 25th wedding anniversary using two diamonds I provided (one from my original engagement ring and one from my mother's). I was nervous about using a jeweler on the other side of the country that I couldn't meet with in person, but loved the custom designed rings I saw on the Green Lake Jewelry Works website. Communicating through the website design page, our designer Chelsea created several beautiful design sketches based on my ideas, design preferences, and budget. We went back and forth a few times modifying the design until we settled on the final versions. Chelsea was always quick to respond to our questions and very helpful! It took about 4-5 months total from start to finish until the final products were shipped to me. Once I received them, the rings were slightly too small, but Chelsea arranged for me to ship them back and get them resized for free (which only took ~ 1 week). The rings are beautiful and completely unique! I highly recommend Chelsea and Green Lake Jewelry works.

I hadn't been in years but recently they did a repair on a pair of vintage silver cz hoops for me (next day) and I couldn't be more impressed with their service and attn to detail. I don't recall the jewelers name (sorry!) but she had blond hair and cool snake hoop earrings. She even cleaned them for me (yes you can have cz pieces cleaned here.) The earrings are so much better than when I brought them in..aligned, working properly, and sparkly! The post had been broken in half so the earring wouldnt latch/close and thus they were unwearable. Problem fixed in a half hour! Btw, they hey have a wide variety of jewelry styles/price points/artists, so you can easily find a personalized, lovely piece of jewelry for guys or gals. I can't wait to come back and get something for my boyfriend. Its also a fun place to browse on a rainy day so you can really understand what handcrafted jewelry is about. When a gift counts, and they should always count, this is where I will buy. Theyve earned a loyal customer!

I went in to get my wedding band resized. I was immediately taken aback by the impressive interior design of the jewelry store. They have a massive section for their jewelers to work with little plants on the desks. They have TVs cycling through slideshows of rings they have made. I had my wife's engagement ring custom made out of state and we have been really pleased with it. But the designs I saw here humbled me. They have some beautiful designs. During the short wait to speak with a jeweler, I was offered a coffee from their espresso bar. So back to why I went here. A lovely and professional Gold and Platinumsmith by the name of Nikki Worthy assisted me. She was able to resize it without removing a chunk of the gold. The resizing and polishing was on the house and I didn't even get the ring from this jewelry store. I was in and out in under 15 minutes with a properly fitting wedding band and for no charge. I strongly recommend you stop by this place if you're looking for a ring or a resizing.

After doing some research of jewelry designers in the area, I chose Greenlake Jewelry Works. I went to the Seattle location and met with Christina. She was friendly, welcoming, professional and listened to my ideas. Admittedly, my ideas were all over the place, but I knew I wanted a vintage setting to highlight my great grandmother’s diamond. Christina is very creative and talented, and she took my ideas and brought them to life. I picked up my ring yesterday, and I cried. The final product exceeded my expectations!! From the drawings that Christina did, to the craftsmanship done on the ring itself , the attention to detail is extraordinary. The overall experience at Greenlake Jewelry Works has been amazing . From the time you walk in the door, to the time you leave with your new work of art, you feel taken care of . I want to especially encourage you to meet with Christine, she’s simply amazing!! Visit them soon, you will be so glad you did.

  • Paige Kramer

The first place my boyfriend and I started looking for rings was here when we got engaged. We weren't really sure about getting a custom ring so we looked around to see what was out there and of course I had something very specific in mind once I figured out what I wanted and no one was able to offer exactly what I wanted except for here. We got to work with Christine. She helped us design exactly what we wanted, a gorgeous 3 stone Montana sapphire ring. She was amazing and I couldn't recommend working with her more. She always took care of any questions I had and was just a joy to work with. She talked me through things I would never have thought about, like would a standard wedding band sit well next to the type of setting I wanted or would I be ok with a curved band if not? She made sure I was completely confident in the choices I was making for this ring. My ring is perfect and I'm so pleased we chose to get my ring here.

  • Joshua Jones

I love this place! Around 10 years ago, my partner and I went to Green Lake Jewelry Works to explore wedding ring options they have to offer. We were blown away by amazing wedding ring options they have plus they also offer very creative ring designs that you won't see any other jewelry shops. We ended up doing custom design on my wedding ring. I have it for over 10 years and I am very happy with it. The quality is fabulous! We stopped by this place this morning - we are still blown away by the world class customer service we received. One of employees, Ellen did really great assisting us to help my partner to select a wedding band. We are very happy with the service and ring design we worked on together. I also had my wedding ring maintained and cleaning. We are very happy with their services. We definitely will come back again when we want to purchase jewelries or have our rings cleaned. Very highly recommended this place!

  • JordanNicole

Green Lake Jewelry Works is AMAZING! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. My now fiance and I went to them in September of 2019 to just start looking at rings and thinking about custom ideas. I told my fiance I didn't want to know what the ring looked like, but had an idea. Rebecca had me email her some inspiration pictures, and from that point on, my fiance and her really came up with such a beautiful design. I have my dream engagement ring now (he proposed on Christmas) and the best part about Green Lake Jewelry Works is that they photograph the ENTIRE process of making the ring, from the first sketch, to the wax mold, to them placing stones in the setting. They're so nice, they really pay attention to detail, and I am SOOOO excited to see what they come up with for my wedding band, and I can't wait to work with Rebecca to make my fiances wedding band! Definitely go check them out, you won't regret it!

  • Jill Hannemann

I had a custom ring designed to bring new life to the stones from a ring I inherited from my Grandmother. The old ring was too small, broken, had missing stones and no other jeweler would touch it because of liability. Green Lake worked with me to evaluate the ring and the usable parts from it. I chose a design from their catalog of work to base the new ring from. Sophia helped me rework that design to incorporate my preferences and ensure we used as many of the little stones as possible. She realized a vision for this ring that is tasteful and frankly exceeded my expectations. I did get a brand new ring that is designed specifically for these stones, and I had no idea the stones from that broken ring could look so brand new. I love this new ring from Green Lake and knowing it has my grandmother’s stones gives it so much meaning. It’s great to breathe new life into an heirloom that previously got no use.

  • Alison Warner

I have had a week to admire my ring and I couldn't be more pleased. The compliments include gorgeous, unique and timeless. I walked into the Bellevue location and was greeted by Ben who walked me through the design process while assuring me even non-creative types could design their own ring! I came back with a blurry inspirational picture and a family brooch with some diamonds I hoped to use. Ben made awkward budget conversations so easy. The pricing was transparent and upfront. He was accessible, communicative and I was always thrilled to see an email from him. The questions I posed that I considered trivial or silly were answered compassionately and clearly. I would have never considered custom or designing a ring myself before Green Lake Jewelry and today I'm thrilled with the ring and with the story. Thank you to the entire design team!

  • Joycie Yu

My fiance and I designed and purchased my engagement ring at Green Lake Jewelry Works! We had such an amazing experience working with Sophia and the rest of the Green Lake Jewelry team. Sophia is incredibly responsive, creative, and an expert in jewelry design! We never felt rushed in the process and felt that everyone wanted the ring to be just as we imagined. The store front is inviting and comfortable with complimentary soda, water, or coffee during your appointment. Green Lake Jewelry created a spectacular, one of a kind ring -- exactly what I wanted. Additionally, we were shocked by the competitive pricing! The cost of the ring (with the center stone) was much less than we had been quoted at another major jeweler for just a center stone. We will be lifelong customers at Green Lake Jewelry and highly recommend everyone to go there!

  • Namue Kata

I worked with Pia to custom design a ring for my girlfriend. The entire experience and the final product were so far above and beyond what I could have ever expected. I had even tried shopping around a bit before deciding to go with Green Lake, but ultimately I chose Green Lake because they showed more true excitement and passion about what my girlfriend wanted than any other shop. My girlfriend wanted a rare vintage cut (old mine) that no one else had. Other jewelers tried to push me to other more common cuts, but Green Lake worked with their diamond dealers to locate a diamond from the other side of the world to meet my girlfriend’s wishes. My girlfriend called it the ring of her dreams. I HIGHLY recommend working with this amazing team if you’re looking for something truly unique that will standout from the average engagement ring.

  • D Urb

I highly recommend Green Lake! I started my journey by browsing past designs and found one I loved from the start! Then I was able to communicate with my designer and she helped me browse and find the perfect gemstone. I was able to view pictures of what different designs would look like when finished. Once the design was settled, weeks later I got a wax casting of the ring which I appreciated being able to see what the setting would like on my finger. All this done online through the design page. I received my ring today and it completely surpasses everything I imagined. It’s gorgeous! Rebecca is a wonderful designer. I was afraid buying a ring online would feel distant and I was hesitant, but this experience not only felt personalized the ring craftsmanship is superb. Thank you, Rebecca and Green Lake Jewelry!

  • Jessica Patino

My husband and I visited other jewelry places and overall just felt the associates pushy and only there to help for the commission. When I read some of Green Lake Jewelry reviews, I looked at the jewelers bio and Ellen was who stood out to me. My husband and I were on a very tight timeframe, we met Ellen for our first appointment and she was very professional, welcoming, and heard our desires and the time we had. She was very knowledgeable and if she wasn't sure of something she would get an answer for us. She met our expectations and stayed within our budge and was very flexible. We were able to have a customized band and a ring with the diamond I really liked. I highly recommend Green Lake Jewelry and Ellen, it was a pleasant experience and would definitely go back for when we are ready to upgrade our bands.

Gosh, these guys are great. We never went because it looked like the sort of stuff that really wasn’t our style. We eventually took a ring there to be cleaned and expected to be asked to book an appointment. Nope! They took it away and had it cleaned in less than 15 minutes, and in the meantime told us about their programs for up-and-coming jewelers. Later we brought my great grandmother’s ring to see if they could find anything out about it. The person we worked with spent a good 20 minutes going over it and gave us a bunch of information free of charge. Genuinely a really nice place that feels welcoming and has neat stuff to look around at. They also keep a beautiful planted fish tank with some very healthy goldfish. Makes me feel nice to walk in and see them well cared for.

  • Reilly Stanton

It's hard to review an entire place when so much good that I have to say is directly about Sophie M (the wonderful designer I was fortunate to work with); but what I can say is that all the systems and procedures Green Lake have in place make the process so easy and well organized that I can't recommend this place enough. As for Sophie, her exceptional customer service and creativity meant the world to me. Working with her to bring the ring to life was a truly special experience and without her I would not have been able to give my best friend the ring she deserves. When you see a place rated as highly as Green Lake, it's understandable that you may be a bit skeptical (as I was), but I am so glad I gave it a shot because every positive review rang true. You should too.

  • Hollie Anderson

Ellen at Green Lake Jewelry was wonderful to work with. After getting engaged, my fiancé and I worked with Ellen to create the engagement ring of my dreams. I started this process thinking that I would be such an easy customer and boy was I wrong, I quickly learned that the custom ring design process would be met with my extreme indecisiveness. Ellen was so patient and really a dream to work with. She happily sent me image after image of design options and responded to countless questions I had. In the end, Ellen ended up custom ordering a piece from another supplier in order to get exactly what I wanted. I couldn't be happier with the final product and I am super thankful that Ellen was so patient and informative throughout such an exciting time in our lives.

  • Marisa Rose Benich

My husband and I recently worked with Green Lake Jewelry Works to update my engagement band and setting with the existing stone. Our experience from start to finish was absolutely wonderful. Our designer, Ellen, was super attentive to detail and was able to work within our desired parameters and budget resulting in a gorgeous updated ring just in time for our one-year wedding anniversary. We experienced great communication throughout the process - from a zoom consultation meeting, using the online portal to communicate updates, and booking appointments to see the wax mold and picking up the ring. Everyone we interacted with was professional and kind. Top notch work by the design and jeweler team. We will work with Green Lake Jewelry Works again in the future.

  • Cristina Vallejo Carnie

My husband and I ordered custom engagement rings from Green Lake Jewelry Works, working directly with our assigned jeweler, Vinh. Vinh was incredibly thoughtful, thorough, communicative, and informative throughout the whole process, especially as we added to the design over time. We received updates with pictures that showed the progress and explained in further detail how the rings were being made. When we got to pick up the final result, we were so impressed by the beautiful work put into our jewelry, as well as the overall delivery and presentation. Vinh was wonderful to work with, and the whole team at Green Lake Jewelry Works made such meaningful effort in selecting and crafting our gemstones into our personalized, filigreed and engraved rings!

  • Aneesa Quinn-Shaikh

I was on the search for a new jeweler for my family to work with as we have a lot of heirloom stones/metals we like to repurpose for new pieces. After lots of searching I came across Green Lake Jewelry Works, and I am so happy I found this place!!! Not only do they do all their work in-house, but their designer team is absolutely delightful to work with -- so patient, creative, and skilled. So far I've had a pair of earrings made at Green Lake Jewelry Works and they turned out beautifully, very high quality work and exactly what I asked for, right down to the tiny details. I have had really excellent experiences working with Ellen L. and am looking forward to creating many more beautiful pieces with her in the future.

  • Lindsey K

I would absolutely recommend anyone looking for jewelry come to Green Lake. The staff is always kind and helpful - you really can't go wrong. I came to Green Lake after having had my engagement ring custom made by another jeweler in the Seattle area, and had so many problems with the final product that we started from scratch. Vinh at the Seattle location was very empathetic toward my extremely emotional, frustrating situation, and completely understood my vision for what I wanted my ring to look like. I just got my new and (vastly) improved engagement ring back, and I'm in love. It's exactly how it should have been made to begin with. Thank you, Vinh, and thank you Green Lake!

  • kimberly caulfield

I was very pleased, overwhelmingly pleased working with the jewelers at Green Lake Jewelry Works. As soon as I met the jeweler Sophia and explained what I had in mind for a celebration piece she responded with the knowledge, confidence and reassurance that it could be done. She was honest, trustworthy, reliable, understanding, patient, helpful and respectful throughout the process of developing such a priceless memory for my brother and sister-n-law. “Many”thanks to “all” involved. I will surely tell those I come across needing help fulfilling their jewelry dreams where to go. Here’s to many more beautiful dreams coming true with Green Lake Jewelry Works. Gratefully, Kimberly

  • V Sigrid Machacon

Our designer, Sophie, was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and communicative throughout the process. I came into the shop with a vague idea of what I wanted in a ring, and she helped solidify the design by pitching suggestions that incorporated the ideas I wanted to include. She clearly set the expectations of each stage of the design and transaction, and was very responsive to our questions and ideas that we posted on our design blog page. I truly could not have asked for a smoother process when it comes to jewelry purchases. Overall, very satisfied with the end results! I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking to do a custom design for a ring!

  • Max Erler

My partner and I worked with Christine at Green Lake Jewelry Works to design a custom engagement ring at the recommendation of some family friends. The whole experience from initial design consultation, to choosing a center stone, to seeing the finished product was extremely positive. Christine did a great job listening to what my partner was looking for and coming up with a design that met all of her asks and was still robust, yet delicate. We are very happy with the result and I would strongly recommend choosing Green Lake Jewelry Works and specifically Christine for any custom designs you are considering!

  • Rowan

Working with Christine at Green Lake Jewelers was an awesome experience! I wasn't sure what the process would be like, but Christine talked us through all the steps and what to expect. She was very patient with us and had amazing design ideas, and we could not be happier with the finished products! There was initially a mix-up with the finish of the engagement ring compared to the wedding band and Christine worked with the rest of the talented team to make sure it was corrected quickly and with great care. I couldn't have imagined a more incredible design and experience. Would highly recommend!

  • Tara Harrington

Green Lake Jewlery and Rebecca were such a pleasure to work with! From the moment we walked in till the moment we picked up our rings, Rebecca has been so kind, helpful and wonderful to work with. She was someone I immediately trusted to work with my husband on a surprise design and made my dream engagement and wedding ring come to life with ease! When we went back to design his ring it was so easy and such a pleasurable experience. Their work is beautiful and their staff has always been so welcoming and knowledgeable about their craft, we would recommend Green Lake Jewlery and Rebecca any day!

  • Jason

Great experience. I’ve never bought fine jewelry or designed it. Sophie helped me design a beautiful, unique engagement ring for my partner with responsibly sourced gemstones. The process was relaxed and easy with lots of iterations and fast responses to my indecisiveness. No up selling pressure or anything like that, just personal attention to detail for exactly what I wanted to create. I felt very well cared for, even though I wasn’t creating a super expensive ring. My fiancé loves it! I’ll be coming back here for my wedding bands and any future jewelry. Thank you, Sophie!

  • Ian Dowey

My sister had her engagement and wedding band made here as did my colleague from work. They both said this was the best place! And after my experience—I totally agree! Starting off, making an appt online was easy. And from the moment I walked in (and again with my partner), everyone was so kind and treated us with respect. Rebecca was our designer. She listened to all our wants and dreams for the rings and she created exactly we each wanted! It took about 10 weeks for the rings to be finished. Absolutely incredible artists that work here! Thank-you!!!

  • Hailey Colwell

We went into the engagement ring process overwhelmed and unsure that’s we’d ever find the rings we wanted. The Green Lake Jewelry works team took away all the uncertainty and made the ring designing process fun, easy, and creative. Within just an hour my partner and I found bands that we absolutely loved. Our designer, Susie, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and communicative throughout the gemstone selecting process. We now have rings that we can’t take our eyes off of that feel truly our own. Cannot recommend Green Lake Jewelry Works enough!

  • Chad Kennedy

Working with Rebecca at Green Lake Jewelry was truly amazing! She helped me design a one of a kind ring for my finance that turned out perfect! Rebecca took the time go through multiple design iterations and mock ups with me to help me find the one I loved the most. She was so nice and patient with some very last minute changes and very willing to adapt the design to incorporate them. Working with her and the team at Green Lake was amazing and made the process so fun and exciting, we even decided to go back for my ring as well!

  • Natasha Jeske

I absolutely adore my custom engagement ring designed by Christine! I wanted to be involved in the design process, but as picky as I am, I thought it would be a challenge. Christine was so fun to work with, and what I appreciated most was that she spent so much time listening to my likes/dislikes as we looked at every detail of all the rings and really took it to heart. Communication was excellent and my ring came out as imagined, exquisite! Thank you Christine and everyone behind the scenes that brought my ring to life.

  • London Hammar - she-her

We had an excellent experience working with Christine to design my engagement ring. She met us where we were (no idea what we wanted! knew nothing about jewelry!) and helped us refine our ideas until we had the perfect ring. Great communication throughout the process -- from design to actually creating the ring. It was easy to book appointments to discuss designs, view the in-progress ring, and pick up. Greeters and other GLJW folks we met when visiting were all pleasant and created a welcoming atmosphere.

  • Kristin

I worked with Sophia to redesign my engagement ring and tie in stones from another piece of jewelry. She was incredibly helpful, explained every step thoroughly, designed a gorgeous piece of jewelry and was responsive to every piece of feedback, tiny adjustment, and even random ideas I wanted to try. She made this whole process exciting and fun. My ring is on my finger now I am so thrilled to have a piece that is totally unique and ties in stones from two very important women in my life. Thank you, Sophia!

  • Christy Christensen

Chelsea was my designer and she was AMAZING. She is so gifted with art and ring design. She made a beautiful custom designed ring for me that I love. I am very particular and we altered the design a few times. She was always patient and helped me make the best decisions by educating me throughout the process to ensure my selections would best fit my needs long term. She is a very kind person and was so easy to work with. I would recommend this jeweler to anyone, they were fantastic!!

  • Melissa McClintock

I've had two custom pieces made at Green Lake Jewelry, and both experiences were wonderful. I worked with Sophia on a pair of custom drop earrings and they turned out perfect and are adorable and lovely. Chelsea helped me design a new engagement ring utilizing my existing stone, and it turned out stunning. I receive compliments daily on my beautiful pieces. If you are looking for something special, beautiful and unique I would highly recommend the team at Green Lake Jewelry Works.

  • Javi

Ok, came to get an antique resized, after going to another store and being treated very poorly I had a low bar already set. However these people here are VERY attentive, personable, and super helpful. I’ll come back and update this when I receive my ring back - but given how transparent, professional, and skilled these folks were about what they were talking about - I am almost positive this review will stay a full 5/5. Keep doing what you’re doing - it is obviously working!

  • Marielle Larson

Christine and the team at Green Lake Jewelry were incredible to work with! From the start the design process was truly personalized and culminated in a ring that's uniquely ours and stunning. Throughout the process Christine listened thoughtfully to understand what we liked even when we weren't sure. She was collaborative, patient, authentic, and creative in exploring designs together. Christine made the experience fun and memorable. We couldn't be more thrilled!

  • Justin Lapierre

It was an amazing journey working with Grean Lake Jewelry Works custom design team. Every step of the way was collaborative, on both sides, and very productive. My designer was very receptive to both giving and receiving desired design and the team executed on it perfectly. I enjoyed the experience so much, I already have 2 more projects underway with them. My only word of advice, platinum is expensive. However the team at Green Lake Jewelry Works rock.

  • Jason Park

We had an amazing experience with Green Lake Jewelry! We were just a walk in that Christine took in, and she was incredibly friendly, helpful, and responsive throughout the entire process. She even was able to set our diamond in a presentation mounting before our custom ring was ready so that I could have it in time to propose on our trip to Japan! We’ve already recommended them to several friends, and will definitely come back for our wedding bands!

  • Lauren

This place is an amazing local jeweler! My husband worked with Sophie M to design my stunning oval solitaire. Then, Sophie M worked with us to use my family diamonds to create my dream wedding band! My rings are so special and of incredible quality. My husband also loves the gold band he chose. My MIL was able to repair a family tie pin here that my husband wore at our wedding that looked fabulous. This is THE place for your jewelry needs!

  • Valerie Carsey

The whole process took between 2-3 months. I originally thought I would be taking several iterations before coming to a design that I loved but Chelsea was great, professional and responsive (super quick responsive) and I really love the final product. I would definitely come back for additional jewelry wants/needs. This is definitely a piece I feel confident wearing for the rest of my life as well as a great piece to pass onto loved ones.

  • Connor Kelly

Went in with my partner to start the search for engagement rings yesterday. Was nervous the process was going to be tedious and not great. It was the exact opposite. I left with so much great information and was able to figure out exactly my partner would like. Vinh was so incredible to work with and made the first steps not feel so overwhelming. Working with him was a delight and I can't wait to return to pick out the ring. Thanks again.

  • Matt Chung

I had a wonderful time working with Ellen L on my partner's engagement ring! She was super patient and helpful with my many questions in making sure I understood the whole design process. I had an idea of what I wanted the ring to be and she provided insightful feedback and suggestions, never pressured me into making a decision before I was ready. I'm really glad I went with Green Lake Jewelry Works and can't recommend them enough!

Ellen and I shared a few months together developing my Art Deco inspired engagement ring. She did an amazing job guiding and developing my thoughts onto paper- I could not be happier with the result. You’re able to edit your design until you’re 100% onboard, which is fantastic for someone who is as indecisive as I am. I couldn’t have made a better choice than Greenlake Jewelry Works, Ellen and the rest of my design team.

  • Eileen Barnes

Everyone I’ve met at Greenlake Jewelry has been thoughtful, honest and easy to work with. My engagement ring is from there and I recently got some necklaces repaired. From the quality of work they do, I thought they might be pretentious about bringing a baby in when I dropped things off, but they were welcoming and understanding. I highly recommend this store for repairs and designing special occasion jewelry.

  • Kathleen Poole

Wonderful jeweler! From the moment I contacted the store for information until the day I picked up my ring I was treated to extraordinary service, respectful care and timely deadlines. Sophie Matthewson was my designer, I couldn’t ask for more. With enthusiasm and expertise she helped my ring come to life in the most beautiful way. If you’re looking for something unique, classy, fabulous this is your store!

  • Andy Didio

Rebecca gave us the absolute best experience! I visited for an engagement ring consolation and I could not recommend Rebecca more. She created the perfect ring that my fiance adores. We loved her work so much we came back for wedding bands and Rebecca knocked it out of the park again. I love my band and my fiance loves her. I would HIGHLY recommend Green Lake Jewelry and especially Rebecca!!

  • Taylor McNeill

Sophie helped me design a custom necklace for my now wife. The communication was excellent, the feedback was clear, and she managed expectations the entire time. This was my second custom piece at GLJ and they are my go-to for any jewelry needs. Would recommend this place for anyone with an idea they want to turn into a beautiful piece of jewelry. Top notch, they are the experts in Seattle.

  • Mr. Gina

I highly recommend Green Lake jewelers, especially if you are wanting a custom design! My partner and I worked with Sophie who informed us of the entire process and worked with us to create the rings of our dreams. They also offered a payment plan which made it financially possible for us to obtain our dream rings. Thank you Sophie and thank you Green Lake Jewelers we are so happy!

  • Devon Schwaab

Hired Greenlake Jewelry Works to repurpose some diamonds I had, into gold earrings. THEY ARE GORGEOUS!!! I had figured it would be a long process, pricey, and convoluted but it was so easy, quick and very affordable. The earrings are stunning! This was my first time inside Green Lake Jewelry and I'm thoroughly impressed; looking forward to redoing my wedding ring with them soon!

  • Morgan Boyd

Shayna did a fantastic job resetting the sapphire on my ring, which had come loose due to not being set properly from place I had purchased it (which wasn't Green Lake Jewelry). The prongs were too short and hardly came up the edges of the stone, which can be seen in the first photo. The second photo shows the new correctly sized prongs Shayna added, which are much more secure.

  • Alex White

Green Lake Jewelry is a phenomenal business with outstanding customer service, expert jewelers and fantastic designers. My future spouse chose GLJ to provide me the experience to design my own engagement band. I am very happy that I had this opportunity, he chose the beautiful diamond and I got the experience of a lifetime designing a ring that I will cherish wearing forever.

  • Samantha Balin

Chelsea and Sophie worked with me to create a beautiful anniversary ring to go with my wedding ring that Green Lake had made over a decade before. They aligned styles so well, you could never tell that they weren't made at the same time! I highly recommend Green Lake for any jewelry project you have. They are amazing and are genuinely as excited for your project as you are!

  • Karen Vogel

Had my mother's diamond engagement ring converted to a necklace pendant using recycled mokume and a sapphire to match my favorite ring. The design team is stellar. Susie listened carefully to my story and created a custom piece that's unique and beautiful. I didn't spend a fortune and I now have something that gives me joy instead of burying it in a safety deposit box.

  • Jessica Conradson

My fiancé and I worked with Rebecca to design the coolest ring! She took our ideas and translated them into reality. My fiancé wasn’t super excited about some of the gold bands out there and now he is completely stoked with his ring. Couldn’t be happier! The customer service here is incredible and everyone I’ve talked to is warm and friendly. Don’t go anywhere else!!

  • Jake Levenson

Very professional and accommodating! They patiently helped us while looking for a stone to use in our engagement ring, and even took our preferences into account to find the perfect one at a Gemstone Show. We're really excited to see the finished product once our setting design is done. Christine is fantastic, and Susie did an amazing job filling in for her!

  • Angelia Cavaness

From start to finish we couldn't be more happy with Green Lake Jewelry and Ashley! They were so patient with us with each question each step of the way and the end result was absolutely breathtaking. So unique and beautiful....and for us it tells our story. Our first date in a deer stand and a 9 point buck was shot by my now husband.

  • Melinda Friedman

Very nice work on replacing the broken shank and repairing my antique ring. It sparkles more now than it ever did, since they also cleaned and polished the whole ring. I also had them copy an earring whose mate had been long lost. Shanya Egan did a wonderful job on both projects. Hope to work with Green Lake Jewelry works again.

  • Jordan Wessels

I am blown away! My Tiffany and co necklace broke and Tiffany’s quoted me $70 to fix it. I came to Green lake jewelry works, gave them my necklace and within 5 minutes Joey had repaired it and it was better than ever! When I tried to pay for the repair they said it was on the house. You’ve just earned a customer for life!

  • Stuart Castillo

We had a terrific experience working with Christine Dove and the Green Lake Jewelry team on an engagement ring. Christine took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and stayed involved throughout the entire process. We would recommend Christine and Green Lake Jewelry to anyone seeking quality jewelry!

  • Amy Parley

My designer, Ellen, was exceptional from the start. She helped me design a ring I didn’t think was possible! She kept in touch with me throughout the process and finally today it was ready… I was giddy when I saw the finished ring. Thank you Ellen and Team for your help and professionalism! This ring is a stunner.

  • Alexandria Torres

Working with Rebecca was a dream come true. She truly understood the assignment when my partner came in looking for something “unique, nerdy and spooky” ❤️ she was helpful and informative every step of the way and was fantastic at keeping my fiancé in the loop. Looking forward to getting our wedding bands here too

  • Alex Lee

We had such a great experience with Ellen! And we are so happy with the way the engagement ring came out. Everything from consultation, design, customization, and everything else, Ellen was very helpful and professional. We will definitely be coming back to Green Lake Jewelry Works for our wedding rings as well.

  • Nicholas T

Let me begin by saying, our designer Ellen was amazing! She was patient and understanding through several. SEVERAL revisions. Having finally gotten the ring in (our fault, not theirs) I am ecstatic with joy over the craftsmanship of the ring and quality of the stones. Greenlake has definitely done well by me.

  • Ava Sarbach

Absolutely incredible experience getting my custom engagement ring here. My designer Susie Swan was dedicated to the vision we created together and was so attentive every step of the way. These people really know what they're doing and are so pro! Highly recommend to anyone looking to do custom jewelry.

  • Becky C

I was very nervous about having my heirloom wedding ring worked on as it is irreplaceable. I was very pleased that the work was going to be done onsite! They took great care in detail and workmanship. They did a beautiful job on mending my heirloom wedding ring! Definitely will be a return customer!

  • Kyle Lindros

My fiancé and I had a fantastic experience working with Christine and the team at GLJW. Every step of the process was done with excellence. And, most importantly, the end product was even better than we had dreamed. Could not be more pleased with our decision to go to GLJW and work with Christine.

  • Steffania Henricks

Working with Sophia Shen with Green Lake Jewelry was another amazing opportunity. From concept to design, and the final product, Sophia is committed to making the experience fluid and seamless. I highly recommend Sophia and the team! I’m obsessed with the pieces I have had custom made!

  • Finn Malmgren

We worked with Sophia to design our wedding bands. We came in with abstract ideas of what we wanted and she did an excellent job turning our ideas into reality! She was super responsive throughout the process and we couldn't be happier with how our rings turned out. Highly recommended

  • Brian Sennett

My fiancé and I reached out for a custom engagement ring, and Green Lake Jewelry Works responded quickly with design ideas. The online and in person experiences were both very easy to work with, and our designer understood our vision and created a beautiful ring!

  • Ryder Henderson

Green Lake Jewelry Works is excellent! They helped me create the perfect engagement ring that my fiancée loves and I went back to them for our wedding bands too. Their communication was just amazing while trying to customize rings from across the country.

  • Moin Shaikh

Working with Ellen L was a genuine pleasure. She was creative, responsive, and very prompt in communication. The other staff were also helpful in relaying messages and the process went smoothly. Would totally go back if I need another custom piece!

  • Aaron Pittman

Chelsea was such a pleasure to work with throughout the whole design process. I had been thinking about the original design for a little over a year and I had wanted to create a pendant that represented by my Egyptian culture and Christian

  • Zachary Swanson

I came here to learn about and purchase an engagement ring in 2022 after going to several "brand-name" jewelry stores and leaving them discouraged. At Green Lake Jewelers they assign one designer to work directly with you, both in person

  • Kasia Różańska

We had the best experience working with Rebecca on my custom ring! Beautiful atmosphere, so many options, and each step of the way so simple and easy. And if you don't want a custom ring then there is a huge selection of beautiful pieces.

  • Robert Marver

I had an amazing experience designing my fiancee's engagement ring! We were able to size it and get a custom design with a compressed schedule and without her finding out :) I really enjoyed the whole process and communication from them

  • Marjorie Benditt

My partner and I went and they did not acknowledge us at all. They completely ignored us and as soon as a white presenting person (we are BIPOC) came in the staff greeted them immediately and assisted them. We were clearly looking at

  • Ellie V

Greenlake made us both AMAZING rings! Our designer is Rebecca and we cannot say enough good things about her! She is kind and friendly, listened so well to each of us, and made the process SO fun and meaningful. Thank you Rebecca!!!

  • Beth McCoy

I purchased a necklace in Alaska. The clasp broke the first time I wore it. I loved the necklace and took it to have it repaired. It was repaired within a minute and they did not charge me. Amazing!! Their jewelry looks beautiful!!

  • David Tenney

They did very well creating a wonderful ring for my wife and helped make it the best it could be for her. Good communication the whole time from their team, helping with selecting options for the ring, and great custom designs.

  • Rebecca Hill MS, MA

From concept to completion Sophia and the design team at Green Lake Jewelry were outstanding! My fiancé and I are so pleased with our wedding set and the fact that is a custom design with quality crafting make it extra special.

  • Gabriella Pacheco Claudio

Amazing first impression! Not only is the place beautiful and cool, but the staff is also so lovely and welcoming. Took less than 10 minutes for the person to tighten the prongs on my engagement ring and give it a nice polish.

  • Heather Knudson

Absolutely loved our experience here. Designing my engagement ring could not have been easier, and they did an absolutely beautiful job - the ring is exquisite. We will definitely be returning for our wedding bands as well.

  • Danielle Salerno

Great experience! We needed to make some repairs to heirloom rings and the team did a wonderful job making them look brand new. Gary was so friendly and helpful! And I was impressed by how quickly they completed the work.

  • Connor McCaughan

Helped me with what Ben Bridge could not achieve for me. Service was top notch, and quick. The work I needed done was done very well and turned out great for a very fair price. Will definitely be my jeweler from now on.

  • Erin Caswell

I got my engagement ring from Greenlake Jewelers 2 years ago (I designed my own ring with Vinh, it was an amazing and positive experience), and recently one of the smaller side stones fell out. I no longer live in the

Fantastic experience with Christine Dove, she made the entire experience very easy and stress free. In terms of the custom ring, the workmanship was top notch, end result was an extremely happy finance.

Green Lake Jewelry Works made a gorgeous sapphire engagement ring exactly as we wanted! Thank you so much to Sophia who made the process easy and fun and who was so communicative. I recommend highly!

  • Mikel Zichittella

Green Lake Jewelry Works was great. Sasha P was very helpful and knowledgeable every step of the way designing my custom engagement ring. Would definitely recommend using them again in the future!

  • Kelton Hammer

We have been working with Ellen on an engagement ring and wedding band since December 2021/January 2022. I can say without a doubt that you can't beat the experience Ellen and GLJW provide.

  • Elena Small

I can't recommend Green Lake Jewelry Works highly enough! They are so knowledgeable and professional and make designing custom rings so simple. We worked with Christine, who was awesome.

Sophia is awesome!! She is very knowledgeable and patient when walking me through the whole process, and doesn't push into buying. I had great experience, highly recommend this place!

I got an engagement ring custom designed at the Seattle location. I was specifically looking for light purple and pink sapphires, which I feel is somewhat rare.

  • Kelley Fisher

Great experience from start to finish. Susie did a wonderful job and got me exactly what I wanted.
