MARCUS'S BAND
THE GREEN LAKE SHOP
Translating our client’s ideas into beautiful custom jewelry
to celebrate the iconic moments in life since 1996.
Your piece was crafted in the
Bellevue studio
The Bellevue shop is a state of the art custom design and production studio where the artists work in full view of the public. This location is also the heart of our stone cutting dept, with a full time lapidary on-site cutting Sapphires and other gemstones from rough.
The design Bellevue studio has 15 design stations including 3 private meeting rooms and a full scale coffee and wine bar.
Green Lake Jewelry Works opened its doors on Seattle’s Green Lake Drive in 1996. Since then, its craftspeople have grown to win national recognition for excellence in the art of fine jewelry making with two distinct workshops where each piece is made by hand.
In 2016, celebrating 20 years of artistry, Green Lake Jewelry Works created a second studio in Bellevue, WA with the aim of creating the perfect environment for both jewelers and clients.
Named one of the ‘Coolest Stores in America’ by Instore Magazine, the Bellevue studio is home to some of the most talented jewelers in the country, where a tradition of dedicated craftsmanship is passed from masters to journeymen and women.
DESIGNER
I’m a seasoned custom jewelry designer and CAD modeler with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Jewelry Design and Metalsmithing from the University of Georgia. With over a decade of experience in the jewelry industry - including many years focused on CAD work - I bring a deep understanding of both design and structure to everything I create.
I was originally drawn to jewelry by the beauty of the materials and the endless creative possibilities. Over the years, I’ve built a well-rounded skill set that allows me to seamlessly combine my background in benchwork, Matrix/Rhino CAD training, and a sharp eye for detail. My goal is always to design pieces that are not just visually stunning, but also structurally sound and practical to wear.
GEMSTONE SETTING
It required steady hands and confident mastery to set your gemstone for a lifetime of confident wear. Gems can be especially small and terribly rare, so the responsibility for this final stage in crafting a ring falls to our most experienced professionals.
HAND ENGRAVING
Hand engraving is the pinnacle of the jeweler’s craft, displaying fine artistry in crisp detail. It takes perfectly honed, hardened steel tools, a steady hand and years of dedicated practice to get it right. Green Lake's skilled engravers maintain world class craftsmanship within the increasingly rare art form, of which this piece provides a stunning example.
