My fiancé and I absolutely loved our experience at Greenlake Jewelers from beginning to end. Our designer Aleta was so helpful, and made designing our custom rings one of the best experiences ever! We would highly recommend Greenlake and the custom rings making process – it really does add a special touch to an already special moment in our lives. Thank you so much, Aleta, and the whole Greenlake team who brought our visions to life!

I had an incredible experience working with Aleta at Green Lake Jewelry Works. My fiancée Alaina left the ring design completely up to me with just a few requests, so it felt like a big undertaking, but Aleta made the whole process easy and enjoyable.
She helped me choose the perfect stone and design a ring that truly fit Alaina’s style. Aleta’s advice, patience, and guidance were invaluable, and the final result was better than I could have imagined.
Alaina absolutely loved the ring. I can’t recommend Green Lake Jewelry Works enough, and if you get the chance to work with Aleta, you’re in great hands!
