Why did we move?
We have been at Green Lake for almost 10 years, in 3 progressively larger
locations, (plus the extra space in the building upstairs), and we loved being
there.
Unfortunately, we had looked around Green Lake continuously, and finding a
large enough space to get all of our Artists working together in one space
proved to be impossible. We looked around for the last few years, in hopes of
getting a lucky break, and then one of our favorite restaurants closed (The old
Copper Sky).
At first the space just seemed so big it was not feasible to move there, but
after another year of growth, and some stiff negotiation, we worked out such
good terms that we could not resist the lure of such a large space with room to
spread out a bit!
Many of you know that Northgate is going through a rebirth, like many of our
older neighborhoods, and we are excited to be a part of it. Northgate Way has
been repaved, 5th avenue has been expanded and new trees planted.
There is also a new library and community center opening right around the
corner on 5th avenue in July of 2006, as well as the day lighting of Thornton
creek and the new park being built to accommodate it behind the Mall.
The Mall itself is being renovated and expanded starting soon and the area will
get new retail areas, more restaurants and at least one large 16 screen
theater.
We keep hoping for a large lake to be added, but I guess we will have to just
go back over to Green Lake for that!
By the way, we have turned our old space into a Great New cafe, opening soon!

Web Site Improvements
We have been working on our site to help you design a custom piece of jewelry.
We have expanded the gallery to show the custom pieces we have made in the past
in order to help give you ideas on your very own custom work of art.
To work with us on line, simply create an account or sign in with your existing
account and view the gallery. When you see a piece that you like or a piece
with elements that intrigues you, simply click then add to my wishlist and
continue on. When you are finished, click the estimate/consultation button and
send us an email with your wishlist and your desires.
With your wishlist and your ideas we can put together a sketch of your jewelry.
We will then email you a price estimate and a scan of your sketch. Once the
sketch is approved and a 50% deposit is put down, we will start on the wax
model of the piece.
When the wax model is finished, we will ship it to you for your approval. After
wax model is approved and sent back we will cast, finish and set it. Upon final
payment, we send you the final piece via insured mail.
