Happy November! New jewelry for the holidays is here, and now is the perfect time to shop. This "Fable Animals and Strange Characters" bracelet from Alex Sepkus just arrived yesterday! We are open Tuesday - Saturday, and closed on Thanksgiving. You can make an appointment to see us in person, shop online, or text us at our main number (206.623.2528). 

Our annual Todd Reed Trunk Show is this weekend! Join us this Friday and Saturday, November 5-6 to see this incredible collection of one-of-a-kind jewelry, made completely by hand with reclaimed metals in Boulder, Colorado. Todd works with rustic and white diamonds, patina sterling silver, palladium, and luscious 18k yellow and rose gold

We will be welcoming Denise from Sethi Couture for a special one-day pop-up on Saturday, November 20th! Sethi Couture is best known for their stacking rings (our philosophy - if you can still bend your knuckle there is room for another). We also love their stud earrings, diamond pendants, bangle bracelets, and other everyday jewelry essentials

Those with November birthdays have two beautiful birthstones to choose from: topaz and citrine. Topaz comes in a rainbow of colors; citrine is prized for its yellow and orange hues. Both birthstones are known to have calming energies while bringing fortune and warmth to the wearer. Find this topaz ring and more at our Alex Sepkus Trunk Show, December 2-4.

To show our thanks during the month of November, we will be donating a portion of proceeds to Northwest Harvest. This local charity supports a statewide network of 375 food banks, meal programs, and high-needs schools. Equitable access to nutritious food is a catalyst for achieving stability and creating healthy, strong communities.

Upcoming fall events:

Todd Reed - November 5-6
Sethi Couture - November 20
Alex Sepkus - December 2-4

The calendar is up for all of these trunk shows from our most popular designers! Make your appointments and save the dates.

In honor of Mother's Day, we will be donating 20% of all jewelry, watch, and gift card sales in May to Mary's Place. This local charity helps mothers, children, and families stay together, safe, and healthy on their journey out of homelessness. As we navigate this unique time in history, reaching out to our community helps us feel together when we're apart.

She can use it to shop now at foxsseattle.com, or save it for when our storefront reopens. We are also happy to ship, deliver, or arrange curbside pickup if you see something on our website that she'd love!

With styles ranging from classic everyday wear to bold statement pieces, and prices starting at under $99, her jewelry makes a wonderful gift for Mother's Day, or just to treat yourself!

We're also featuring Sethi Couture this month. We love how their P.S. Collection of engraveable pendants can be engraved with special initials or dates, which makes them the perfect Mother's Day gift! Shop the entire collection here. These also make wonderful graduation gifts when engraved with their graduation date or year.

Do you have a graduate in your life who doesn't get to have a commencement ceremony this year? We think they deserve an extra special graduation gift! A Nomos watch is one of our favorite gifts. You can see all of our in stock Nomos watches here. We can also special order from Nomos if there is another style you prefer! Many styles, such as the Club Campus, can also be engraved.

Here are some smiles from our families to yours! 

The story about the origin of Valentine’s Day goes that Roman Emperor Claudius II didn’t want men to marry during wartime because it would affect their fierceness. However, Bishop Valentine performed secret weddings against the emperor’s decree. When Claudius II got wind of Valentine’s acts, he had him jailed and later executed. Before his death, During his internment, Valentine had signed off a letter to the jailer's daughter “from your Valentine.”

In 1381, Geoffrey Chaucer made the first recorded connection between St. Valentine's Day and love in his poem "The Parliament of Fowls," identifying the day as the time when "every foul cometh ther to choose his mate." French and English writers of the 14th and 15th centuries also allude to the day as one reserved for lovers. Valentine's Day was declared a holiday in 1537 by none other than King Henry VIII. Manufactured Valentine's Day cards first appeared in England in the 1800s, and by 1835, over 60,000 Valentine's Day cards were being sent in England alone.

The tradition of sending Valentine's Day cards hit the United States in 1847, and today 150 million cards are sent every year, not including the hundreds of millions of classroom valentines exchanged by children.

Physicians of the 1800s commonly advised their patients to eat chocolate to calm their pining for a lost love. In the 1890s, Cadbury was the first manufacturer to produce heart-shaped boxes of assorted chocolates, which the romantic Victorians went crazy for. Today, 35 million heart-shaped boxes are sold every year.

We love chocolate, but our favorite Valentine's Day gift by far is jewelry! It lasts longer than a box of chocolates, and gives the wearer joy for years to come. Whether you are buying for a significant other, your "valentine," or a special treat for yourself, check out our Valentine's Day Gift Guide for gorgeous jewelry starting at under $200. Happy Valentine's Day!

Welcome to our Valentine's Day Gift Guide! A box of chocolates will be gone in a few days (or for some of us, a few minutes), but a beautiful piece of jewelry will last forever. Here are some of our favorite picks, starting at under $200. Happy Valentine's Day!
