It might feel like driving all the way into downtown Seattle and finding parking would be a major…read morehassle, but my experience with Seattle Diamonds made it totally worth it. TLDR: Erin at Seattle Diamonds was able to create a ring that NO OTHER JEWELER COULD, and she did it within my budget! Here is the full story of my ring buying journey and how Erin at Seattle Diamonds came through where no other retailer could. I always do my homework when making a big purchase, so I started off shopping around and hitting up all the major chain retailers like Shane Co. and Jared's, etc. My future fiancé an I picked out a 3 stone style that we absolutely loved. However, I noticed a troubling trend where the larger, center stone often looked shadowed and darker than the side stones. This really bothered me, however, I continued to be told that this was just how this style of rings would work. I then took my search online to Whiteflash, thinking that they could better help me match the diamonds and that would solve the problem. However, I was ALSO told by them that this was just the nature of these three stone settings, and I would just have to settle for the center stone looking shadowed if I went with this setting. My future fiancé and I talked it over and decided that we would go with a solitaire setting instead. However, this took us back to square one with ring and setting styles. This is what brought us to Seattle Diamonds and how we met Erin. From the moment we stepped inside, it was clear that this wasn't a normal retail space, however, it was a beautiful, high-end office and Erin immediately set our mind at ease. She was friendly and easy to talk to and really made us feel welcomed. She showed us many settings and picked out a beautiful solitaire setting. However, over the course of chatting with her, we mentioned the three stone setting that we loved and the problem we had with the center stone being shadowed. Erin was shocked that we'd had such problems as she'd never heard of this problem before. I couldn't stop thinking about her reaction, even after we left and eventually emailed her further about it. I decided to try one more time to see if I could make this ring style work. Erin was AMAZING! She found a beautiful setting that was within our budget. She brought in loose diamonds to try until we found ones that matched and didn't create that "shadowed" look. I was blown away. After that, I paid a deposit on the rings, and then waited. Erin emailed me a 3D rendering proof for my approval, which I gave because they looked amazing. Then it was time to wait. These rings aren't just cookie-cutter "I have a empty band and setting on hand and we just pop the diamonds in and go". They are quality made to order and take some time. As they say with the "unattainable triangle": You have quality, price, and speed. You get two out of the three-but never all three. I picked the rings up about three weeks after approving the proofs and they were absolutely stunning. I couldn't be happier and on top of that, I got to surprise my (now) fiancé with the ring of dreams rather than the solitaire setting we were settling for. My experience with Erin at Seattle Diamonds was amazing and I couldn't be happier. She made the impossible happen and did it all within my budget! Thank you Erin for such an amazing experience. I'm so glad we found you. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

I took in a wedding ring crown that has 5 diamonds on it since I had lost one of the diamonds. Upon bringing it in, Josh let me know they could fix it and was already bagging it up without even giving a quote. I then asked for a quote since I'd gotten one from the original maker of the ring. I had let him know the quote he gave which was $390-425 was higher than what they quoted. But ultimately decided I'd rather have it fixed locally than send it out since I didn't want to wait (which I voiced verbally). He took a closer look and said they could do it for $425. I said okay because after shipping costs, it would only be ~$40 more than sending it to the maker. He said okay, and that he'd pick out the diamond today and I'd have it back the following week. 2 full weeks went by before it was ready so I was already a bit annoyed since that was likely the same turn around if I mailed it to the maker! But then when I went to pick it up, the price was $595+tax. I asked why the price difference (and refreshed his memory on our convo at drop off) and he just said okay we can do it for $495. So not only did it take just as long, but in the end after tax I spent over $100 more than what I would have spent if I sent it to the maker.

Jamie is an incredible professional who is clearly passionate not just about his craft, but also in creating relationships with his clients and making sure their experience is second to none. He helped my husband and I take care of some estate jewelry after my father passed away and handled it in such a respectful and caring way as we navigated a tender time. We never once felt rushed or pressured. We were so impressed that I enlisted Jamie's help in repairing my engagement ring which had lost the stone and needed some rebuilding. He was so great at communicating and assisting in my search for a very particular stone while dispensing valuable advice at every turn. Jamie counseled me on the best way to go about the rebuild and I am absolutely in love with the final product. How lucky Seattle is to have such a wonderful jeweler. In addition, Jamie uses the business to give back and create change in the world for the better, which just makes choosing him for your jewelry needs a solid and lovely choice. Baraka Gems will be my only go-to for all jewelry needs in the future. Much gratitude, Jamie & Co.

My appointment was at noon, but I arrived a little early and was actually taken in early. Jamie Jockwig was the buyer who helped me, and he was incredibly friendly and professional. He communicated with me throughout the entire process, so I knew exactly what he was testing and how he was testing it. I also asked him a ton of questions out of curiosity, and he was friendly and patient the entire time. He never once made me feel like I was being a bother or asking too many questions. I learned a lot about the jewelry I was selling, and he offered me a very fair price--actually, more than I was expecting to get. I highly recommend Baraka Gems if you have gold, silver, and/or gemstones you're looking to sell. I have quite a bit of gold and silver from my father's estate that I plan on bringing back to Jamie because I had such a great experience. I'll definitely be going back!
