Oh my gosh, if I could put 10000 stars I would! This place is AMAZINNGGGG!!!! Not only do they have excellent customer service, quality product, and reasonable prices, they also have an inviting environment and free cookies and drinks! (who doesn’t love some free cookies?!) But, seriously, Green Lake Jewelry Works has helped me create a breathtaking engagement ring for my wife, and both of our wedding bands. We will definitely be going back to them when we can (we are moving out of state). If you are unsure what you are doing when it comes to jewelry shopping, PAHLEASE don’t go to Kared or J-Jewelers (I mean, do what you want but I definitely believe if you don’t go to GLJW you are missing out). Everyone at GLJW provides a “no pressure” experience to help you understand your 4 C’s, play with your vision, and guide you through the process. Definitely recommend!

“I proposed to Laura yesterday in the magical forests east of Seattle, and she said, ‘Yes!’ She is absolutely in love with the ring–we both can’t keep our eyes off it. It looks positively stunning in the natural light. Thank you again for all of the amazing work and the incredible experience!!
Once we get things sorted with the families and get to planning the big day, I would love to have the two of us meet with you to custom design our wedding rings. I showed Laura the engagement ring’s development and she is immensely excited to take part in the design of the wedding rings.
Photos included are shots we took after the proposal in forest. The leather journal was a key part of the proposal, tucked atop a mossy log to be found by Laura. Inside, the first page read, ‘We’ve already been on quite the adventure’ accompanied by a series of Tolkien-styled sketches (We are both major Lord of the Rings/fantasy buffs). The second page held, ‘Now about that Ring…’ with a sketch of The One Ring with the elven script transcribed to the more positive message of, ‘Will you marry me?’ in Tengwar (An elven language the author of Lord of the Rings created). As Laura finished reading the contents aloud, I took to a knee and proposed to her.
Cheers!” -John

When we met with Kathy at Green Lake Jewelry Works we had a lot of the details already figured out. We liked a few of the styles we had seen on the Green Lake Jewelry Works website but we wanted something pretty specific and for us. We knew what we liked and we knew what we didn’t like. Kathy was very good at helping us determine what would work, and what probably wasn’t a good idea. During this process Kathy made very good recommendations to us to make it even better. With Kathy’s help we were able to come up with a ring that was what we envisioned. We created a platinum engagement ring with a low set center diamond. The ring has a combination of diamonds and rubies (our birth stones) on the sides with milgrain and diamonds in the gallery bar to give the ring a nice accent and make it really stand out. We love the custom engagement ring and would recommend Green Lake Jewelry Works to anyone looking for a custom ring or a ring that is in stock. -Robin

Congratulations Kyle & Duy!
“Thank you so much to Green Lake Jewelry for designing our dream engagement rings with us…. Our rings took nearly four months from conception to final product. once I was satisfied with my sketch, Green Lake Jewelry had their artists mockup and render the rings in CAD. From there we moved on to wax models, to test the fit and what not. They were finally cast, polished to the textures we wanted, and then designed by hand before having the gems set. It was such a journey and we absolutely love our rings!” -Kyle

I am in love with my ring. From the moment we walked into the beautiful artisan style store we were welcomed and treated so well. We had two of my grandmother’s and great grandmother’s rings that we wanted to do something with for our 25th wedding anniversary…. We worked with the jewelers and our designer to come up with an incredible ring using heirloom diamonds. This is a place where craftsmen and artists come together to make the customer part of the whole process. We could not be happier with the outcome. -Lynn

I have always been a fan of antique estate jewelry; especially when a sapphire is the center stone…. Also my (soon to be) husband has blue green eyes and I wanted to match his eyes. Sophia was patient and listened to everything we wanted. Every step was pain free and exciting. When I got the ring, I almost cried. It was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined… -Antoinetta

Amber worked with me to create a ring with all 10 [of my family & grandchildren’s] birthstones and diamonds to set them off in between each one. It’s a small, sparkly, and perfect daily reminder of the gratitude I feel for the most important gifts in my life- this family!- Shannon

Everything you are looking for in a custom jewelry store!
My wife and I worked with Emily on our wedding rings design. We can’t say enough good things about how Emily took her time and met with us numerous time to go over the design. Her attention to what we were looking for were meticulous and her response was prompt and professional…. All in all, it was a great experience and we are so glad that we went to Green Lake for our rings. – Ted in Washington

My fiance and I had a great time working with Green Lake Jewelry.We wanted custom rings designed in the form of mobius strips. The designer quickly understood our needs showed us several examples, sized us…. A few weeks later, we had wax molds to see and feel… A few weeks after that, our rings were done, and done perfectly. We gladly recommend Green Lake Jewelry. -Darin

Every step of the way, I felt like this place had my best interests and happiness in mind. My designer (thanks Sophia!!) was excellent, and was an astute (and much-needed) guide through the sometimes harrowing world of engagement ring shopping. My custom requests came with both wise counsel, and unflinching willingness to craft the ring that I wanted for my future wife. -Joe in New Jersey

The Finished Ring was Perfect!
I recently wanted to have a custom engagement ring created with a design that would be based on my partners love for climbing…. Amber’s expertise in design was spot on and I was shocked when a wax mold was produced that far exceeded my initial expectations…. What I think I enjoyed most through what started out to be a nerve wracking experience was getting to work with a talented professional like Amber who obviously loves what she does – it shows in the craftsmanship of the work. -Thomas

Beautifully crafted one of a kind pendant!
I contacted Green Lake Jewelry and did all the communication over the web. My daughter was a little concerned about not having a face to face discussion with the jewelry designer but everything was perfect! Very good communication throughout the process and the beautifully produced piece is truly a work of art! -Alan in Illinois

Great Experience
I wanted a unique set of rings for my 50th anniversary. I sent Ashlen lots and lots of pictures of things I found that I liked. Gradually we winnowed it down to what I truly loved that would fit the diamonds I was going to use. The tri-color rings with two heart shaped diamonds are stunning and perfect. -Barbara in Washington

I Won’t Go Anywhere Else for Jewelry
I live in Texas, and Green Lake Jewelry is in Seattle. I wanted to design a custom ring for my then future-fiance, but I didn’t want to keep going into the store, fight traffic, time-constraints, and whatever else doing something as important as this consists of, as Austin, Texas isn’t the most transit-friendly place in the world…. The final product is awesome. It truly is a thing of beauty. The emerald is complimented by side trap diamonds with diamonds going all around the band. I couldn’t be happier, and neither could my now-fiance. -Kyle in Texas
September 2016
Perfect!
Thank you so much for my beautiful ring. I am so happy with the results. Sophia was amazing! She was respectful, patient, present, and so creative. I am so glad to have a custom made engagement ring. My sapphire came from Thialand but the ring represents an amazing American made piece of jewelry. -Allison in Washington

Love My Ring
Great service, talented staff and wonderful craftsmanship. This is one of the best jewelry stores in Seattle for sure. This was my first custom designed piece and it was a great experience. Ashlen, my designer, was very patient and attentive to my requests and desired outcome. Just Great! – Genet from Washington

True Artists
I worked with Mitch on a custom engagement ring that turned out exactly how I envisioned it. He did a great job working through and pulling out the details I had in my mind to make the real ring match what I had in my mind. Would recommend them in a heartbeat.- Kevin from Washington
May 2016
Designing Our Ring Was Fun!
Our designer, Sophia, was committed and energetic from the word go – she helped this fiancee find the right stone and setting for his bride-to-be, then held our hands through the process of designing the final piece. After 3 months of back-and-forth and dozens of pintrest forwards, then another month of manufacture, we now have a truly one-of-a-kind ring that we will cherish forever and pass down to our grand kids. Thanks Sophia, you rule! -Graham & Jennie

Fantastic Service
I couldn’t be happier with the service and artistry of Michelle at Green Lake Jewelry Works. We couldn’t find the perfect ring that matched exactly what we had in our heads, so I sketched something out, and she took my sketches and designed a stunning ring. She also helped us pick out some beautiful Montana sapphires to honor the place where my fiancee grew up. -Adam

Excellent Custom Designs
I can’t say enough good things about my experience in working with the team of artists at Green Lake Jewelry, and of the designers that worked to create what we believe to be a truly unique and special engagement ring design. Customer service was beyond excellent and designers were very patient to answer questions and make revisions suited to our needs and tastes. I felt I had an excellent open channel of communication with the designers involved…. Most importantly I felt the end result was more beautiful and perfect than I could have imagined. -Michael in Texas

Fantastic
My fiancĂ© designed and purchased my engagement ring from Green Lake Jewelry. I couldn’t be happier with it. It’s absolutely stunning. We live out of state, but had absolutely no problems communicating with our Designer Sophia, who was a pleasure to work with…. If you are looking for something unique and want a far superior experience to the traditional large chain jewelry stores, you should absolutely work with Green Lake Jewelry. They are real artists, and you will end up with something spectacular. -Kerry in Arizona

Fantastic
My fiance bought me a beautiful center stone and Emily and I got to work on creating a custom design for the side stones. I have a new appreciation for how hard it is to turn a customer’s fuzzy idea into something beautiful. Emily was very patient with the iterative creative process. In the end, I have a unique and beautiful ring that is just what I wanted. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Emily for your ring-designing needs! -Dayna

Couldn’t Be Happier
I got to see the ring for the first time when he proposed on a lovely snowy day in the mountains of course. I couldn’t stop staring at the ring for the rest of the day! From the small diamonds enhancing the mountains on the band to the sapphire that could never decide on the color it wanted to be, the whole thing was breath-taking. Danny and I couldn’t be happier! I definitely recommend Pia and Green Lake Jewelry Works. They were very easy to work with and it is a perfect shop to go to if you are looking for a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry. -Danielle

Great Experience
I inherited a ring from my great-grandmother that I was unable to wear because of it’s condition and I had been wanting to use what could be salvaged from it to create a new ring…. Emily was great to work with and made me feel like my opinions really mattered and was very informative on the entire process. Everyone else I encountered on my visits were always very friendly and made my experience even better (if that’s even possible!).Thanks! -Jimi
