Michael N
Designer
Bellevue Studio
I’m a Seattle-born jeweler with a deep appreciation for both nature and craftsmanship. Before entering the jewelry world, I spent nearly a decade working as a gardener, a background that naturally shaped my transition into metalsmithing and, eventually, fine jewelry. Over the years, I’ve honed my skills with three years as a bench jeweler and two as a personal jeweler and consultant before joining Green Lake Jewelry Works. I also hold a GIA Accredited Jewelry Professional (A.J.P.) certification and bring a thoughtful, grounded approach to each client experience.
With a passion for both gemstones and design, my favorite part of the work is guiding clients through the creative process - educating them about stones and metals while helping bring their vision to life. When I’m not at the bench, you’ll probably find me hiking through the mountains, diving into alpine lakes, tending my garden, or working on my car.
