Green Lake Jewelry Works

Worked with Krista at Green Lake to make a custom engagement ring and wedding band for my beautiful bride. Their work was phenomenal and they were so easy to work with -- taking direction and offering advice exactly as needed. Would strongly recommend their work to friends or others who might ask.

I'm only giving them a 3.5 on the value part because it's custom jewelry, it's not bargain basement! The truth is if you just want a simple solitaire, go to a main stream jewelry store or order it online. We wanted something very specific and unique, and LOVED the experience at Green Lake Jewerly. My ring is gorgeous and just what we wanted. The process is super cool, you get to make whatever you want, and you get to see it in wax before it's cast. I love that no one else has my ring! GLJW is a very professional and artistic place.

We really enjoyed working with Green Lake Jewelry Works on our wedding rings. We first went to them for the engagement ring. It was so much fun to get to design the engagement ring exactly how I wanted it to look. You even get to try on a "wax ring" to see how the ring will look on your finger. All along the way, you can make changes if you don't like how it looks. The only down side was that it did take a long time to finish the ring, about 6 weeks. But, if you have the patience, it is definitely worth the time and effort!! The price was also comparable to what we saw at other jewelers.

I cried when I saw our rings. I cannot thank Green Lake Jewelry Works for creating unique rings that truly fit our personalities. Plus the price was unbelievable. We went through the whole process over the internet and was surprised by how easy it was. I wish we could post pictures of our rings. They are amazing!!!

My fiance surprised me with a beautiful ring from Green Lake when we got engaged. We'd looked a few shops months before, and he worked with Kirk at Green Lake to design the perfect ring. It was just what I wanted, and it was even more special because he'd designed something truly unique. I received so many compliments on it. We went back to Green Lake to for our bands, and once again the process and the final products were wonderful. Their customer service really is top notch! Also, while some people have commented have rated Green Lake lower on the value for cost standard, their prices were certainly less than similar rings at some of the "custom" high end retailers we'd visited. My fiance also did some on-line research and said their prices were similar to other sites he'd looked at...and he never felt pressured to get a bigger stone or upgrade components, which was not like our experience at a number of shops we visited. We think their jewelry is certainly a value when compared to chains, given that you are getting something truly unique with fabulous customer service.

We used Green Lake Jewelry Works for our engagement and wedding needs. Each piece of jewelry is custom designed if needed. We loved the idea of GLJW because you work with the designer directly. OUr designer was Aaron Barr--he was professional and friendly. After you pick a design, a deposit is required; balance is due upon completion and satisfaction with the design.We felt that price and personalizationwere well worth it--good experience, we will definitely use them again in the future.

This jewelry store is one of our favorites but after we picked the ring, and they were in the process of making it, things went downhill a bit. Because my husband was getting a hammered gold ring, they were supposed to call us and have him come in to try it on before the final hammering was done. They didn’t and the ring is too big for him and now to get it resized they virtually have to redo the entire finish. We have yet to find out how much that is going to cost. That said, the ring is beautiful and very special. They have a great selection as well.

Not the cheapest option, but as a custom jewelry store, you pay extra for the "custom" part of it. We had some unusual requests for our rings. They worked with us to realize our vision, and their jewelry is of excellent quality. They say if you aren't happy with the final product, they'll scrap it and start over. We didn't have to do that because they got it right the first time. No matter what style of ring you like, they have it or will make it.

Greenlake is an artistic jewelry store that allows you to custom make your rings. My husband and I were able to work closely with them to get exactly what we wanted. The experience was amazing and now every time I look at my ring I remember the two of us creating it together.

Yes, creating a wedding ring from scratch IS expensive, but I got what I wanted. After coming in with a specific design, Melissa Tuttle then designed my dream band. I was able to see it at multiple stages of the creation process, in which I changed my mind about the ring size. When it finally was finished, I took it home and looked at it... and realized it wasn't what I wanted. However, they have a policy about being able to return it. So, with about a month left before the wedding, I returned it, and they literally created me a new band. The second one was what I wanted. Also, my husband was able to get a ring that he loved, a tungsten ring that is very durable and has an industrial, bluish look, and I also engraved my husband's wedding gift there. I have since gone back numerous times for ring checks and other repairs. Professional and quick every time!
