What a gem! A tiny, special, little place. Needed my watch battery replaced and the guy at the mall watch kiosk said he couldn't get my watch open, and had even scuffed the watch (and tool) trying - another story. But I'm so glad he was incapable or I wouldn't have stumbled in here. Out running errands, did a quick Yelp, and called for a quote - which to my surprise is super affordable! Watch battery replacements here are cheaper than the mall "watch repair" stand - the one with (and I mean this in the nicest way) the idiot who couldn't get my watch open. I walked in and a tall, gentleman walked through the curtains, swiftly greeted me, took my watch, and went to the back. He came back through the curtains 10 minutes later (he had quoted 15) and voila! I'm so happy. He owns the jewelry store with his wife, who hand makes the beautiful pieces. I'll be back. Go here! Support local/small businesses like this. read more

I was searching for a watch battery shop near green lake, and came across this place. The owner came out and was incredibly friendly. I told him I had 4 Nixon watches that needed the battery replaced and also re-pressurized, as I take all my nixons with me when wakeboarding and swimming. He told me not a problem, and quoted me $15 per battery replacement. He got all 4 watches done in less than 25 minutes. Super pleasant guy, clean store, and so I highly recommend! Can't beat excellent customer service and supporting a local shop. read more

Ma Mo Jewelery Design - Jewelry Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I am sorry that I am late with my praise of Maurice and Morgan. I went to MaMo Jewelery Design on Roosevelt ave in Seattle Washington approximately 6 years ago. They designed an one of a kind design, using stones from my late Mother's wedding ring. The ring's exquisite design along with their excellent customer service, has provided me a ring I will always cherish. Hardly a day goes by, that I don't receive a compliment about my ring. I have referred several friends of mine to you and I am grateful for your fine craftsmanship. Tracy Tucker read more

Mamo made both my ring and spirit sparkle. Boyfriend popped the question last week, and he gave me his great, great-aunt's ring. (He had her post-humous permission, of course.) As beautiful as it was, it needed some shrinking and shining. I handed the jeweler (wife version) my ring and explained that I wanted it resized, and she immediately gave me plenty of history on the ring. "See the color of the gold? That shows it's from Europe." Woweewow! "This style is called the Toi et Moi. It's from the early 20th century." Woweewow again! They are jewelry detectives. My ring was resized, cleaned, and assessed for fifty bucks. The jeweler (husband version) offered to clean the ring whenever the heck we wanted, and he promised to keep us updated on the state of the gems and prongy things that hold the gems. I love Mamo always and forever... almost as much as I love my fiance. ALMOST. Not quite. But we'll be sending all our friends there, and even though I probably don't know you, Yelp reader, I'd like to send you there, too. read more

We had an incredible experience working with Ma Mo on the design of our wedding rings. We had a vague idea for inspiration, and they crafted beautiful pieces that were better executed than we could have imagined. They were personable and friendly throughout, getting to know us and our story, which made the experience that much better. We highly recommend this talented duo! read more

I just popped into Mamo the other day to see if they could replace the battery in my favorite Fossil watch... which they did; I was in and out in under five minutes and my watch is once again ticking along. But what earned my yelp review was how friendly and totally unpretentious the fellow behind the counter was. We chatted for a minute while he was finishing my watch, and I asked a random question about the setting on a necklace that caught my eye. He proceeded to explain it to me and pull out a couple other pieces to show me different examples (it turned out to be a bezel setting - sorry, I'm clueless about these things! No ring shopping here!). I suppose it was good business practice on his part to take the time to talk to me, since I could come back someday when I am shopping for something special... and it's true, after that experience, I'm much more likely to stop in here! Seems like a genuinely nice place with some beautiful jewelry. read more

NICE STUFF! I stopped in after eating lunch, and looked around. It's a cute little shop with lots of girl stuff jewelry. So, I think you can find something nice for your girl (or boy, if he likes gentle stuff). :) read more

Small job, needed a ring re-shaped and batteries put in two watches. Took twenty minutes and the piece was brilliant. Friendly service and great job done. Highly recommend to any one not just for repairs but they had some beautiful Jewellery on display! read more

I came to Ma Mo to get an engagement ring resized. It was a challenging job that had already been turned down by one shop, and I needed it quickly. Maurice was so kind and accommodating. He did an absolutely beautiful job at a reasonable price. I'll definitely be coming back. What a wonderful small shop with a great staff. read more

I would echo other 5 star reviews about the thoughtful service here. I stopped in to ask about wedding bands and had the best experience. The woman that helped me was helpful, knew what she was talking about and took the time to talk with me without a sales pitch. I went back with my partner to buy bands from them but they were closed for a few days for a trip to Hawaii. We went with our 2nd choice because of timing but plan to go to MaMo next time and we are recommending them to friends. read more

This is a great little place, very knowledgeable about jewelry with great customer service. I came in today to repair a clasp on a bracelet that had broken, and to inquire about wedding bands and ring services. Someone I assume was Maurice replaced the broken clasp with a sturdier one in about two minutes while I waited. He also offered a lot of very useful advice on caring for both the ring and the bracelet. There are a lot of social and environmental issues in the jewelry industry, most notably mining of metals and gemstones. So for my engagement ring, I had done a lot of research and chose an online company that uses recycled metals and lab-created gemstones and makes their jewelry in the USA. After asking about wedding bands, I found out that Ma Mo uses almost entirely recycled metals too, and I imagine they could have sourced the lab gemstone I preferred. And, of course, their jewelry is made right here in Seattle. The knowledge and expertise they offer is way beyond what the online jeweler offered. I will probably get my wedding band here, and now I wish I had stopped in before choosing an engagement ring too! I also came here once before to replace a clasp on a necklace and change a watch battery. Those were also done in minutes while I waited, and when he returned them he even removed a knot in the necklace chain. He's always given me back the old clasp as well to resell the metal. In an era of online shopping and big-box stores, Ma Mo makes a strong case for the small, local business! read more

Maurice and Morgan are such warm people, and so fun to work with. I've seen them multiple times over the years. They've helped me design my wedding band, choose the right band for my husband, done excellent jewelry repair and maintenance, and have created a custom piece for me that I'm thrilled with. They communicate clearly about cost, so never any surprises there. The integrity and value of their work is excellent, I'd trust them with anything. I plan on working with them on a few custom projects in the future. read more

My wife took my Shinola watch in for a battery change and the service was excellent. One of the owners (we think) was there and did it herself, total time maybe 10 minutes. We really hope the city's elimination of all the street parking in front of the shop and on the block north of the shop won't put the kibosh on this business' traffic. Only because of the great word of mouth re: the high quality service did we circle the block until we found a spot so we could stop in. It was worth the parking hassle. Thank you, little shop, for treating my prized watch with care! read more

Ma Mo Jewelery Design - Shinola watch, running again thanks to this neighborhood shop. - Jewelry Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I have been going to MaMo jewelry for several years and the service is excellent and the quality of the items are impeccable. I have purchased gold and silver chains at MaMo and have worked with Maurice to convert inherited jewelry into updated pieces I can wear in the future. My husband purchased his wedding band from Maurice and it was reasonably priced and Maurice took the time to go through multiple options with him. We are both grateful to have a shop like MaMo to frequent and we will be returning for all our future jewelry needs. I strongly recommend MaMo for wedding bands, jewelry repair, to convert existing jewelry or loose stones, and cannot forget to mention Morgan's beautiful original pieces, which I hope to purchase in the future. read more

I can't begin to explain what a pleasurable experience it is to shop here. Maurice and Morgan provide wonderful service, unique options and completely work with your budget. If you want an approachable 'personal jeweler' experience without pretention or upsell go to Mamo. I've found Wedding rings, watches, unique gifts all through Mamo. Couldn't suggest them more strongly. read more

I love this store and the couple that run it, they are nice and kind people. They have on numerous occasions, repaired my broken jewelry and they are very competent at what they do. They have also shorten necklaces that are too long, they have restrung my pearls, all at a very fair price. They are generous people and genuinely love their job. Why go to another jewelry shop that ships things out to be repaired, there is no middle man here because they do everything themselves. They also do custom made jewelry too and have many of their one of a kind designs in the shop on display. This store is highly recommended by me! read more

I have gone to MaMo for many services over the years including repairs, appraisal certificates, purchases, and commissioning a unique piece. Each time, I've had the experience of having high expectations exceeded. Repairs: Done quickly and thoroughly, and for a reasonable price Appraisals: Same, along with education on the stones and metals Purchases: They carry a line of lovely sterling and enamel pieces, perfect for a special gift for children ready for a charm bracelet or necklace. Their own higher end jewelry is simply gorgeous, well crafted. Commissions: As a gift for my mil, I approached them to ask if they could make a custom etching on a locket. A real image, not simply an initial - it was a scene of a small chapel by the North Sea. The locket itself was not thick enough to handle etching, so they came up with a way to make an etching on pure sterling (as MIL has a strong nickel allergy, and most sterling 925 has nickel in it stateside). In reviewing the photos, Morgan worked with me to get ideas for special details that would be especially meaningful for MIL. She prepared the wax model for my review, then made a perfect sterling plate that was soldered to the locket front. The total size of the plate wasn't even 1" x 0.5", and it was absolutely perfect in its detailing. Going to MaMo makes you want to have a bigger budget - not simply for all the wonderful pieces they make, but because they take such pride in their work. They deserve more work than they can handle. read more

These folks are so nice and professional. They helped us with our request for plain gold rings and were patient and informative. Even though ours was probably one of the most basic, inexpensive orders possible you would never know it from the treatment we received. They do everything quickly and with care. I am so happy we could buy our wedding bands from local experts who never made us feel inferior for our simple preferences, lack of knowledge, and limited budget. They also had many beautiful pieces on display and told us about some of their creative custom work. I am very impressed with and grateful to Ma Mo and highly recommend them. Our rings are perfect, and I know if we ever have any questions or requests they will take care of us. read more

I love Ma Mo. They designed and made my wedding ring. Somehow it cracked into a few pieces last winter, and they recast it, no charge. It turned out it was made slightly too large, and they resized it, again no charge. I will definitely go there next time I want custom jewelry made and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone. read more

WOW. I can't say enough about Morgan & Maurice at Ma Mo. I came in with a design for my girlfriend's engagement ring sketched out, and they were able to source a rare stone from Sri Lanka that was PERFECT. But that was just the beginning. Morgan then created the setting from scratch, hand-carving a wax model that matched my drawing perfectly, but better. The final product was amazing, and has received compliments everywhere my fiancé goes. It is obvious that Morgan and Maurice do what they do because they love it and are talented, and that's it. They are your advocates and are amazingly talented and generous. Go to them! read more

Maurice and Morgan have a good thing going in their jewelry atelier. Whether you are looking for ready-to -wear or custom one-of-a-kind pieces, they offer first-rate customer service, realistic pricing and service after the sale. They can easily walk you through the design process. I have had them make 5-6 wonderful original creations, and they have always been up to the task both in design and execution. read more

Ma Mo understand the art of impeccable service and even one step better they do absolutely extraordinary work! I have often admired their work as a regular in the neighborhood. I decided to stop in and see if they could help fix a botched job on a very sentimental piece of jewelry. They knocked it out of the park. I am soooo delighted. The price was more than fair and the outcome was incredible. I will tell everyone I know they are the place to go! read more

Okay, how do you say enough about Ma Mo? Seriously, these people are the kind of professionals you rarely encounter these days: passionate about their craft, incredibly knowledgeable, purveyors of pristine customer service, and incredibly fair with pricing. The other reviewer who said that no matter where you live, it is well worth the drive to Ma Mo couldn't be more correct. Maurice and Morgan are lovely people, superb craftsman who do both innovative design and excellent repairs, have a fantastic inventory at a variety of prices, and you'd be stark raving nuts to go to another jeweler. They have our business for life. read more

I stopped in with my fiancée with an heirloom diamond engagement ring. We wanted to change the setting and get the ring sized, but with a tight timeline. Maurice worked with us; he showed us a variety of different setting options and quickly determined the correct size for the ring. I was amazed he could make our tight timeline (thanks, Maurice!), and the final product was nothing short of amazing. I highly recommend Ma Mo and will almost certainly go back for any of my future needs. read more

Just stopped in to get a ring re-sized. They were extremely friendly, had good advice, and adjusted the ring at no cost. I look forward to going back! read more

The work might be good here, I do not know. I brought in a one and a half carat diamond ring that was vintage. I wanted them to help me design a band to work with it. Apparently the diamond wasn't big enough because they were completely rude and dismissive. I would never go back. I took the diamond to a different jeweler and it looks fabulous! read more

My boyfriend and I have had great experiences with Mamo. My boyfriend took an inherited ring there to be cleaned before he gave it to me, and they did a great job. We have since been back to have the ring sized and the prongs refinished. A few weeks later, when a stone seemed to be a little loose, the jeweler at Mamo was more than happy to retighten it on the spot at no charge. The owners are also lovely people and were very helpful. (They also have some really unique jewelry on display.) read more

The most amazing wedding ring buying experience. 100% customized Celtic design and hand picked center diamond. It is a fantastic conversation piece and so beautiful. Thanks MAMO! read more

This place is fantastic! Maurice and Maureen were super patient with me, and great to work with when designing my engagement ring. It took a few different designs, but finally we nailed it, and I absolutely love the end product. They worked within our budget with no issues, and definitely did not push us to spend anything above that. I absolutely recommend them to everyone that I know who is looking for a unique, quality ring that's one of a kind. read more

Ma Mo Jewelery Design - The finished ring :) - Jewelry Near Me - Seattle, Washington

No matter where you live, it is well worth the drive to Ma Mo. My husband and I purchased a custom wedding ring there over 8 years ago. Unfortunately, my wedding ring got crushed badly while helping my husband in his shop. I took it back to Ma Mo to get a quote on repairs, and was pleasantly surprised at their quote. They fixed my ring good as new and did the rhodium plating for a fraction of the cost of the big box jeweler. Maurice also tightened the setting on another ring for no charge. These guys are super friendly, and absurdly talented. Browsing the cases of jewelry you will find the most beautiful and unique styles of rings, necklaces and bracelets. If you want jewelry that are one of a kind, this is the place to shop. If you want the same thing everyone else has, go to Fred Meyer (not....) Make the drive, you won't be disappointed ! read more

After having some real bad luck up at Northgate with watch batteries and repair I saw on Yelp that Ma Mo does battery replacements in watches. I cannot say enough good things about this couple. They are friendly, professional and their prices are very fair to change out batteries. One of my watches wasn't working right, intermittently running and not running. Maurice cleaned up the connections inside the watch at no charge. I also had a really fine watch that needed a battery change. At Northgate in the kiosk they see a nice watch and add a surcharge on to change the battery. Ma Mo doesn't do that. I have now brought in 3 watches and totally up and running. Highly recommend! read more

Can't even begin to say how great MaMo is. I took my engagement ring here to get it sized and Maurice was so great and helpful. I didn't want to be without my ring for long since I had just gotten engaged and he totally understood. I took it in on a Tuesday and he had it done by Thursday mid day and it fit perfectly for a totally reasonable cost- he didn't even charge me extra to rush it. This week my stone came a bit loose so I decided to go back to see if Maurice could fix it up. He took care of it within a day, cleaned it and double checked everything. It's sparklier than ever and again, the price was super reasonable. I will definitely be back for regular cleanings and future business. They are so friendly and helpful, and Maurice remembered me from 5 months before when I had the sizing done. Great personal service and excellent quality. read more

Maurice and Morgan turned the potentially stressful process of custom designing wedding rings into a delightful adventure for my fiancée and me. From our first couple visits laying out the budget and ideas for the designs to sourcing stones and finalizing the designs in wax molds, Maurice and Morgan were patient, professional and just fun to be around. It was no surprise to us that the rings came out so beautifully. We now know where to go for any jewelry needs down the road. read more

I've been meaning to write a review for ages. I had my engagement ring reset in 2015 and I am so happy with the process and result. Maurice was so knowledgeable. He led me through the entire process and the result was amazing. They (Maurice and Morgan) executed my idea brilliantly. I highly recommend this jeweler. I will definitely be coming here again. read more

My husband had my wedding ring created at Mamo and it was a really good experience! I adore my ring, they did such an amazing job. The pricing is reasonable and the staff are friendly and knowledgable. read more

We got our wedding bands here, and Ma Mo did a fantastic job with them. Maurice & Morgan worked with us on the design, and then executed perfectly. Price was reasonable (and competitive with other places we looked), the rings look great, and they are just lovely folks. read more

This is my first Yelp review - I signed up specifically so I could write a review for Maurice and Morgan. I have in no way shape or form been compensated by them for this review, other than having some exceptional, original jewelry designed and crafted by them. I let my fiancee design her own engagement ring, seeing as how we have radically different tastes, and it's her ring - she should truly enjoy it, right? She visited a couple of stores while I was deployed, and I checked out a few of them when I could get some internet time. MaMo jumped out at me, though I couldn't tell much from their minimalist site, and I resolved to check it out when I got back to the Northwest. My fiancee and I looked at another jewelry shop (another high-end, local store) before going to MaMo, and the comparison was night and day. From the moment we entered the store, we felt very welcomed and on an equal playing field with both Maurice and Morgan, who both have a vast wealth of knowledge with regard to design and fabrication. While both are extremely professional, they are easy to talk to and very down to earth. We brought along a few pictures of rings that my fiancee liked the look of, and Morgan immediately began sketching and asking a lot of questions to determine what my fiancee liked best about each design. By the time we left, she had figured out how to incorporate my fiancee's favorite aspects of each ring design into a sketch of the first draft of the ring. We had several rings cast in wax and slowly began an iterative and sometimes slow process of getting the ring exactly the way my fiancee wanted it. I was pretty adamant on buying a loose diamond online, and it didn't ruffle any feathers at all - we just brought it in so Morgan and Maurice could continue the design process. Despite the fact that my fiancee had never done anything creative like this before, and sometimes had a little trouble describing what she wanted, we ended up with a phenomenally beautiful platinum half-bezel oval diamond engagement ring. We didn't stop there - they had done such a beautiful job that we ended up buying both my (now) wife's wedding band as well as mine here as well. I had been planning on just getting a band online, but the more I considered it, the more I wanted Maurice and Morgan to design something for me as well, and it came out beautifully (an 18k white gold band with thin, polished rails and a heavy hammered, brushed finish on the inside). We finished up by having a portion of our vows etched inside each band. These guys are one in a million. Please don't hesitate to visit them if you're in the market for something unique. read more

The people who run this business are the people who make the items. Because if this they can give you extensive details on everything, and explain why they made something the way they did. They are welcoming and warm. It is nice to have some good customer service! read more

Excellent work! Thanks for making my husband's ring.

I cannot recommend this place more highly. I went in to replace a watch battery. $15 pre-tax, done in under five minutes, absolutely exceptional customer service! I will be coming back again. read more
