LaRae F
Greeter
LaRae’s path to the jewelry industry began with a strong foundation in artistry, nurtured by her mother’s own creative pursuits and encouragement. Having worked in her mother's studio for many years, LaRae developed a passion for design and custom work, which led her to pursue a career in jewelry. After starting as a salesperson at a local jewelry store in Arkansas, she quickly fell in love with the creative process and the personal connections made with clients.
LaRae’s education includes her Applied Jewelry Professional (AJP) certification from the Gemological Institute of America, and she has ambitions to complete her Graduate Gemologist diploma, also at GIA. Outside of work, she is an avid artist who enjoys painting, wood carving, and creating graphic designs. In her spare time, she can be found exploring Seattle’s natural beauty, often sketching during peaceful nature walks.
