Finally a cool place to get Nice interesting Wedding Rings!!
When I decided to ask the love of my life, Melisa to marry me, I started by asking around at work for where to get a cool, Unique ring. No cookie cutter stuff... Green Lake must have been mentioned by 10 different people.
So after lookiing on the Eastside first ( I live there now) and finding some nice rings, (EE Robbins and Several of the downtown Belevue shops) , I decided I better at least take a look at Green Lake since so many had told me too... Man am I happy I did. This place is really like no other busines I have seen. The shop is Huge, with Jewelers all over the place ( they told me they have like 40 people or so) , yet no one is wearing a suit or tie, and they are super casual and make it a very easy experience.
They have lots of items on hand so I could see they did nice quality work, and the website has thousands of pictures to help figure out what to get. Matter of fact, after working with Melissa (the designer at Green Lake) to figure out generally what I wanted, I did most of the designing and approval of ideas and so on right on their website .
(They use a private Design page for each client, so it was really easy)
End result: a Unique Ring worthy of my Future Wife that she absolutly loves,
In the end it was LESS expensive than the mass produced (but nice) rings at the big Engagement ring specialist I looked at.
Melissa tells all her friends where we got it made, and we will definatley get our wedding bands there next year. (They have tons of ideas for my band.)
Matter of fact, I had planned to just get a plain band, but my soon to be wife would not hear of it, and after a bit of looking through Green Lake's online picture gallery I found several ideas I want to mix and match to use in my special ring !! Lucky me lucky us!!

Tulip is my favorite little jewel of a boutique. It has the most interesting mix of clothes with a strong point of view. I've found some of my most "classic with an edge" clothes there. The kind of things you can wear season after season.
The jewelry as well as the accessories are simple, understated and well-edited.
The sales gals are just great!
Always extremely helpful- finding sizes and giving honest opinions when asked for without being pushy or bothersome as I've experienced in other Seattle stores. Annie, the owner is often there and always helps to find the perfect thing.
Another bonus- Tulip is the only Seattle boutique I know of that carries Christy Turlington's Sundari line of skincare. There is nothing else like Sundari- it's the only high end skincare that has natural ingredients.
I always find something new and unique at Tulip!

Amazing! I looked everywhere in the local area of Tacoma/Seattle and the GTC surpassed all of my expectations. Toni was very quick with my phone calls and emails, worked with my schedule, and even after I thought I knew all I had to know about diamonds - she taught me more! Never once did I feel pressured or misled.
My fiance absolutely loves her engagement ring! We recently went looking for wedding bands at a few well known high-end retail stores and we glanced at the engagement rings a second time. They couldn't hold a candle to the diamond Toni found for us!
Cheers to Toni at the GTC for an amazing experience, a true must see for anyone who is looking at engagement rings.
Jeff E.
Pros: Prompt Replies, Well Educated, Zero Pressure To Buy
Cons: Parking, But Worth The Walk!

I was nervous about engagement ring shopping with my guy, because he really hates sales people -- or getting sold I should say. I did some preshopping with my girls to ease the pain for him and knew that without a doubt that EE Robbins would be the jewelry store for us. When we got there we were greeted and then left alone to browse, and then when ready we were guided around to try on rings. The sales person was really friendly and not pushy or hoity toity. We sat down at a pretty little table with a special light and a microscope to look at diamonds. She showed us 8-10 of them -- all pretty to me :) and then explained the differences. WOW! After a glass of wine, I was happy to see that J was relaxed and totally happy there. I think the prices are very reasonable and the selection of engagement rings is huge! The store is really beautiful and the staff treated us like friends not customers. If you are in the market for an engagement ring then EE Robbins is just great. The service, price and selection are all top notch. I am the happiest girl in town with the best fiance and the most beautiful diamond ring in the world!! They have an awesome selction of wedding bands and sparklies for the ear too!!

I'm a watch enthusiast as well and I have stopped by Fox's a number of times just to browse. I'm under 30 and walked in dressed like I shouldn't be wearing much more then a Timex yet I was treated very well each and every time. Even when they know I'm not looking to buy they are always offering to pull peices out for me to try on. Once they even insisted that I tried on a $30,000+ Richard Mille in rose gold. It was stunning (and also worth more then all my current possesions combined I believe). They also have some great lines including Omega, Panerai, and IWC just to name a few. Next time I'm shopping for a watch, Fox's will be my dealer of choice.

This Fremont store, Frank and Dunya, is one of the great art outposts in Seattle! Funky, eclectic, bizarre without being kitchy -- you should go just to LOOK! But... don't just look. There is ART there. And talk to the people who run the place about what the store holds. They really know their stuff, art-wise, and a conversation with them is as much a treasure to your mind as a visit to the store is a gift to your eyes! It's a great place to go when you need that gift that is REALLY unique!
Pros: unique, eclectic, innovative, interesting, good service, knowledgeable
Cons: too much stuff to see at once! It's a sensory overload (which means you'll have to come back!)
