My daughter, who has an art degree, recently became fascinated with vintage jewelry repair and the…read morehistory behind older pieces. As she worked with different items, she realized she needed a deeper understanding of the materials themselves--metals, gemstones, gold, silver, and more. That's when we discovered Catherine's Appraisal Services in Lake Stevens. We met Catherine by appointment, and she was extraordinary. She generously shared her knowledge, took time to explain the details of each piece we brought in, and educated us on what to look for when evaluating vintage jewelry. Her expertise is matched only by the warm, personal connection she makes with her customers. Catherine is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what she does. We left feeling informed, confident, and truly appreciative of her time and care. Highly recommended!

Very professional, and we were happy that they had a nice collection in-store. The on-site jewelry expert was even able to insert the engagement ring into our newly purchased wedding bands. It was included in the price, which was very fair! Shout out to her for sizing and altering the bands so quickly, as we had a ferry to catch. Lastly, the staff even surprised us with a small gift bag to celebrate our wedding! Thanks again for making our wedding special.

I sure miss Strauss Jewelers. Lynn and Barb are seriously two of the best people I've ever known. I…read moreworked for them when I was a freshman going to Skagit Valley College. That was almost 30 years ago, and I still think about how good they were to me. They treated me like family. Really, like their own son. Their love for Jesus showed in the way they lived, the way they treated people, and the way they cared about every customer who walked through the door. If you want to see what that kind of faith looks like in real life, just spend time with Lynn and Barb. They even let me take their Mercedes to prom. That's the kind of people they were. And honestly, after all these years and all the bosses and supervisors I've had since then, nobody has ever come close. Not even close. They may not have the storefront anymore, but Strauss Jewelers will always be open. Treating everyone like family.

My project hasn't been completed but I wanted to post my experience with the intake and dropping…read moreoff process. I have a gemstone that has a chip in it. Joseph jewelry was one out of only three places in the area that I could find that offered cutting services. You can book appointments online with them within a day. At first I talked with Tony from the Seattle location and he helped inform me Bellevue is where Danny, the one in charge of the cutting usually works. I came in without an appointment and Christine offered to help me right away. The ambience in the store is very clean, comfortable, and has good lighting. Christine took a look at my stone in great detail, helped walk me through the process of what the cutting would look like. She also got me set up with an account that they will message me on with updates. I will say with the online booking and different actions allowed through their site/my account was so refreshing. A lot of jewelry places that I contacted or reviewed initially through my research were pretty dated. They would have you submit a filled out contact form, have to leave an email hoping for a response (and a few never did respond), or call them and hope they answer. This place is definitely the opposite. Having everything so accessible and allowing customers to self-serve via their portal and website is so nice and allowed me as the customer to feel like I can take some charge of the process and what I need. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place to visit for any jewelry needs! The customer service is very personable and great, they're one of the few places that I could find to cut my gemstone, and the online accessibility is so convenient. I will update once my project is actually complete, but just wanted to leave this review for now.

I cannot rave about this place enough…read more My first experience was to have a a new head & prongs on one of my rings. It was a quick turn around, 2 weeks and I felt the cost was fair. When I needed my wedding ring to have a new head & prongs i promptly went back to Joseph as I trusted their work. My original diamond was inherited and over 100 years old, I had splintered the diamond and they gave me a few options. They told me they could rehead it but it may cause the diamond to crack or break, I could replace it, or just wait to think about it. I appreciated the honesty and them taking the time to let me make a hard decision after wearing a sentimental stone for 27 years. I decided to remove my old stone and purchase a new diamond. Christine was phenomenal in assisting us, going through quality and cost and not rushing us. You have a portal you can log into to see how your item is progressing and you can message the store. I messaged them about the sizing and they responded within an hour and was able to make an adjustment. I also had a family member pass away and asked if it would be done a few days early. Christine at no charge put a rush on it and it was ready for me to pick up before I left town. I won't go anywhere else, they have my business from here on out.
