The Best Seattle Local Jewelry

Here are my favorite local Seattle jewelry makers. I own many of their pieces!

Save this to Pinterest for later, as I’m constantly finding new makers to add to this list.

Lace and Pearls Jewelry

link to shop | online only | best for: affordable minimalist pieces

Lace and Pearls began as a popular Seattle fashion blog before blogger Asa started making handmade jewelry. She’s recently stopped blogging to make jewelry full-time. Her pieces are uniquely feminine and minimalistic. I own a pair of her larger brass and acrylic earrings and am obsessed with them! However, I’d say the majority of her work focuses on more modest, delicate pieces that you can wear every day.

Nordy Made

link to shop | online only | best for: Nordic-inspired jewelry

Jewelry designer Sheryl and her husband moved to Seattle to escape a hectic life in NYC. There she developed Nordy, which is how you describe someone from northern Ireland in a southern Irish accent. Her work is inspired by Denmark, one of her favorite places to travel. She loves the Danes’ impeccable design style, which she tries to embody with her simple pieces that often play with concrete, walnut, and brass.

Ruth Ryan Jewelry

Ruth Ryan makes beautiful gold and brass jewelry inspired by the Washington landscape. You’ll find rings, earrings, and necklaces with mountain peaks, as well as more abstract interpretations of nature. All of her pieces are made with recycled and refined metals and then finished by hand in her Seattle studio.

Minter Goods

link to shop | online and Pike Place Market | best for: colorful cork jewelry

Amy of Minter Goods makes lightweight cork home goods and earrings in a variety of fun colors. They’re inspired by mid century architecture and feature recycled cork that she hands paints. I love how some of her work looks like stone!

Tangerine Jewelry Shop

link to shop | online and retail only | best for: dainty gold-filled jewelry

Tangerine makes beachy-cool jewelry inspired by Southern California’s golden sunsets and blue oceans. You’ll find fun and fresh everyday pieces to add to your collection.

All of their Seattle local jewelry is nickel free and gold-filled, which means an actual layer of gold is pressure-bonded to another metal. Unlike gold plating which has less actual gold, gold-filled jewelry is resistant to tarnishing, flaking, or turning colors.

Studio Toujours

link to shop | online only | best for: Palm-Spring-desert-cool polymer clay earrings

My old colleague Katrina launched Studio Toujours as a new business venture during the pandemic. She makes the most gorgeous earrings at affordable prices. Her process is painstakingly detailed…she hand shapes and files every single item she designs. She sometimes shares her method on Instagram and it’s hypnotizing to watch how she develops her handmade jewelry.

She ships really fast, so her jewelry makes some of the best Seattle gifts online.

Brittan Ambauen

link to shop | online only | best for: minimalist brass and pastel ceramic earrings

Brittan Ambauen has a background in women’s outdoor leadership. While she’s no longer doing that, she empowers women through her Seattle local jewelry by donating to causes or partnering with different nonprofits. She makes all types of jewelry, with my favorites being the ones with ceramic or art deco details. I love her ability to switch between interesting pops of color and minimalist, geometric pieces.

Stórica

link to shop | 917 Western Ave | best for: hammered jewelry made with ethical gemstones

This Seattle local jewelry shop previously known as Silver + Salt is owned by Christine Heidel. It features beautiful, hand-forged recycled metals using semi-precious stones that are conflict-free and ethically sourced. I took a brass spoon making class at her studio once and can attest, Christine knows her stuff!

I’d describe her jewelry style as organic and feminine. She uses a lot of pastel gemstones and leaves the organic shapes that hand-forging metal naturally makes. I own two pairs of earrings from her and feel so pretty every time I wear them. You can find most of her work using both gold and sterling silver, so you’ll be able to find a piece of jewelry you’re sure to like.

Baleen

link to shop | 6410 20th Ave NW | best for: minimal geometric jewelry

Baleen was one of the first small Seattle local jewelry makers I fell in love with. It’s owned by couple Billy and Leah, who met while working at a small boutique in Ballard and discovered they both love jewelry and each other.

Sustainability is a big part of their jewelry business. Not only do they use recycled metals, but they also use carbon neutral shipping and recycled packaging, which they put together in their zero waste facility right in Seattle.

They design affordable pieces that you’d probably find in a cool girl’s closet in LA. It’s got that modern, mid-century vibe with a bit of Cali beach thrown in. I have a geometric brass necklace my sister bought me and I love how it jazzes up any outfit, even a t-shirt.

They have a storefront that’s also one of the best gift shops in Seattle!

Point No Point Studio

link to shop | mostly online | best for: engagement and wedding rings

I remember going to look at engagement rings with my boyfriend and immediately falling in love with Julie Stark Allen’s fine jewelry work. She makes unique engagement and wedding rings for both men and women inspired by the Pacific Northwest. Case in point (heh): Point No Point is the name of Puget Sound’s oldest lighthouse.

Every once in a while you’ll find her work at local Seattle boutiques, but for the most part her jewelry is available online only. While she’s best known for rings, you’ll also find some necklaces and bracelets that are just as stunning.

Valerie Madison Fine Jewelry

link to shop | 1422 34th Ave | best for: engagement and wedding rings

Valerie Madison is a fine jewelry designer making absolutely stunning heirloom quality engagement and wedding rings that you don’t see everywhere else. She sources ethical stones and recycled metals to create unique rings that marry classic styles with a modern twist. Her secret sauce is to use gemstones you don’t often see in traditional wedding rings, like salt-and-pepper diamonds, rose-cut diamonds, uniquely shaped stones, and vibrant hues.

History + Industry

link to shop | online and retail | best for: statement jewelry

Irene Wood is a painter and jeweler who gets inspiration from her travels. She started collecting beads from her adventures years ago, which she decided to turn into statement jewelry. Her work has a global flare that is neutral to go with most outfits. Her jewelry is mostly sold online, but you can also find it at some retailers like the Seattle Art Museum gift shop.

And Arlen

link to shop | 4130 California Ave SW | best for: dainty, affordable jewelry

Owner Miranda started creating jewelry in high school with friends as a passion project. She ended up pursuing it full time as a way to share her love and extensive knowledge of gemstones. Her work is feminine and reminiscent of nature, with raw-edged gemstones that turn dainty metal into statement pieces. I have the turquoise necklace pictured above and absolutely love it!

Creo

link to shop | online only | best for: beautiful imprinted metal pieces

Caroline Davis went to school for sculpting and metalwork before finding jewelry making. Her work is incredibly interesting thanks to her technique of imprinting metal with intricate patterns.

Modern Science Project

link to shop | online only | best for: big funky earrings

Modern Science Project makes fun earrings that are big, bold, and whimsical. I have a pair of sunburst earrings from her that I always get compliments on, but I bought them ages ago and now her earrings are even louder and cooler than ever.

You’ll often find them selling at one of the various craft fairs around Seattle, particularly all the Seattle Christmas markets.

Studio Delza

link to shop | 85 Pike St | best for: geometric metalwork

Studio Delza, previously known as Knuckle Kiss, is owned by Angela Delarmente. She makes beautiful jewelry out of her Capitol Hill home studio. She’s a metalsmith, so you’ll find a lot of interesting metalwork turned into sculptural, geometric inspired pieces of jewelry. I have the gray version of the drop earrings pictured above and I always get compliments on them!

You can buy her jewelry at her Pike Place Market shop, online, or at one of her various stockists in Seattle like Butter Home.

Melted

link to shop | online only | best for: colorful porcelain earrings

Jewelry designer Malia creates happy porcelain earrings and necklaces. They are loud in the best possible way with swirls, color, and other fun patterns. I always see her at the best Christmas markets in Seattle and stop to stare at her work, so you’re sure to get compliments whenever you wear her pieces!

Shelli Markee

link to shop | online and retail only | best for: raw, minimalist metal jewelry

Shelli makes beautiful metal jewelry and wire art out of her metalsmith studio in Seattle. Her pieces are delicate and modern, but they still somehow make a statement. I particularly love her one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry that use simple precious metals to make intricate, show-stopping shapes.

Rebekah J Designs

link to shop | online only | best for: brass metals with organic edges

Rebekah grew up in California and brought her Cali cool aesthetic to Seattle. Her jewelry is mostly brass and plays with geometry, asymmetry, and organic forms to create truly stunning pieces.

Boma Jewelry

link to shop | 620 S 7 St (Renton) | best for: delicate ethical pieces

Boma Jewelry was started by Suzanne Vetillart’s parents in the 80s. Today she carries on their work by developing gold, brass, and sterling silver jewelry with a mission. As a b-corp company, they also work to develop sustainable jewelry under zero waste conditions and give back to the community.

Meghan Elisabeth Art

link to shop | online only | best for: Natural stone jewelry

Meghan Elisabeth is an artist based in Seattle who hand crafts gorgeous jewelry featuring natural stones. She has an impressive eye for sourcing rocks that have unique patterns. She then amplifies their beauty with metals to create a minimalist but exciting piece of art.

Everling Jewelry

Adrienne Krieger and Kyle Coffey make gorgeous jewelry using sustainable precious metals and gemstones. While they make all types of jewelry, they really shine with their unique engagement rings and custom settings.
