Review from A T.
Seattle, WA
12/14/2009
Perhaps I'm biased, but this in undoubtedly the best fine jewelry shop in Seattle, whether you are looking for vintage jewels or not. When shopping with my husband for an engagement ring we toured every shop in the city, and this place won us over right away. Alex and her staff have a knack for finding the right pieces for their customers, and as a result, we bought both our wedding rings from them (and a few pieces since then).
I like that they're a small, independent shop, that was easy for us to browse when we were doing the first major jewelry buying of our lives, and I love that every piece they carry is carefully chosen and one-of-a-kind. We'll be customers for life. -

My fiance and I stopped by Alexandria's store on Sunday and were cheerfully allowed in although the store is normally closed on Sundays. (I had learned about the store from visiting her website which came up in my search for antique jewelery in Seattle. The website deserves mention because I found it helpful in summarizing different periods of jewelry http://www.alexandriar... and user friendly.)
Alexandria and her assistant allowed me to try on every ring I admired, steam cleaned a few, and were very helpful in educating us about the various qualities of each ring. Choosing a ring can be an overwhelming process, but they helped me whittle down and refine my choices without pressuring me in order to make a sale.
