Caitโs path to jewelry design has been shaped by a lifetime of creativity and curiosity. Inspired early on by her uncle, a gem wholesaler, she was introduced to the enchanting world of gemstones. Her eye for design and artistic talent were also deeply influenced by her father, a renowned and highly awarded Design Engineer at Boeing, who taught her drafting skills and nurtured her creative spirit. Building on their influence, Cait once sketched a custom ring on a bar napkinโperfectly capturing a clientโs vision and sparking her passion for transforming imagination into tangible art.
Before diving into jewelry design, Cait spent nearly six years as a bridal fashion consultant, guiding brides through the emotional and exciting journey of choosing their wedding dresses. That experience taught her the importance of listening carefully and translating each clientโs dreams into reality.
Now, as part of the team at Green Lake Jewelry Works, Cait brings her artistic vision to life by creating meaningful pieces that capture the imagination and emotions of the people she works with.
โI always had a vision of my dream engagement ring but was never able to find anything close. Clean, modern, and able to withstand my trademark clumsiness. We didnโt know what we were expecting when we walked into Green Lake Jewelry Works; making something custom had never crossed our minds. Instead of settling for something that was โgood enoughโ or โcame close,โ Cait helped us turn my vision into a reality. She was so patient and thoughtful, explaining the merits of different elements and looking at a seemingly endless number of stones until we found the one.
Because Iโm currently in Austin, TX, the designer portal was my lifeline. I sent Cait every worry I had and she responded immediately with the reassurance I needed. Cait and Green Lake even accommodated my schedule of when I would be in Seattle for my wax model try on.
When my fiancรฉ proposed in Istanbul, it was the first time I had seen the finished piece. The ring was beyond what I had imagined; itโs a work of art. I had the person I loved, an absolute dream proposal, and, to complete everything: โmyโ perfect ring. Whenever I look at it Iโm transported back to that moment.
Cait not only captured my vision but gave us an experience that was unparalleled. We are so grateful and look forward to working with Cait and Green Lake Jewelry Works again in the future.โ
