June is Pride Month! We are celebrating by donating a portion of every Sethi Couture rainbow sapphire band to the Trevor Project. The mission of the Trevor Project is to end suicide among LGBTQ youth. Sethi Couture's playful bands feature pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple sapphires set in 18k rose gold or 18k yellow gold.

All of the one-of-a-kind Alex Sepkus pieces from our Vegas order just arrived! We always schedule Sepkus for our first appointment of the show for the best selection. This year we went color crazy with tourmalines in every color of the rainbow, rubellite, turquoise, opals, citrines, druzy quartz, and Mahenge garnet. These pieces are not online yet, call or text for more details!

Are you celebrating a dad or grad this month? Watches by Nomos Glashutte are a great gift for dads and grads! Every year, the Club Campus is introduced in new colors just in time for graduation season. This year's electric green color so perfect for summer! We just received a 36mm with exhibition back today. This size is perfect on any wrist.

June is pearl month! We love these natural baroque pearl earrings from Ray Griffiths. Pearls are a timeless classic, perfect for celebrating a graduation, wedding, or professional accomplishment. They are also the traditional birthstone for June! Pearls have been treasured since ancient times, and never go out of style. As Jackie Kennedy once said, "Pearls are always appropriate.'"

Lucky June babies actually have three birthstones: pearl, alexandrite, and moonstone. Alexandrite is an extremely rare variety of chrysoberyl that changes color in different lighting conditions. Moonstone is a mystical gem that glows like its namesake. We love the moonstone gem tab by Lauren Newton. It pairs perfectly with our other charms!

Happy April! This month is all about diamonds. If you are an April baby, it's a great time to treat yourself! We love the price and versatility of Rene Escobar braceletsWe are open Tuesday - Thursday from 10am - 4pm, Friday and Saturday until 5pm for appointments and walk-ins. You can also text us at our main number (206.623.2528).

New releases from Nomos Glashutte are coming! The Club Campus is on the way in two new colors for spring: Electric Green and Cream Coral. Call, text, or email to be called when these beauties arrive in store. We've also restocked February's new release, the Tangente Blue Gold Neomatik in 36mm and 39mm.

New Alex Sepkus is on the way too! We love his whimsical, wonderful jewelry and could not resist this cute little bug pendant for spring. We also just received some gorgeous one-of-a-kind gemstone necklaces in green tourmaline, emerald, grey Tahitian pearls, and multicolored beryl beads. Many of them can be mix and match if you have a vario clasp!

April's birthstone is diamond, the best-known and most sought-after of all gemstones. Diamonds were first discovered in India and have been traded since the 4th century BC. Diamond lore over the centuries has said that these gems are an antidote to poison, ward off the evil eye, and protect against the plague (it's worth a try). Rustic diamonds from Todd Reed are a unique take on a classic.

One of our favorite cases in the store is our selection of antique and vintage diamonds from Single Stone. These diamonds were cut by hand in the late 1800's and early 1900's and passed down through generations. Single Stone specializes in creating timeless new jewelry with these rare beauties. They are also the most sustainable diamond option!

We love Sethi Couture because not only do they have white diamonds, they have yellow, champagne, pink, green, orange, and black diamonds too! Sethi specializes in stacking rings and other everyday jewelry like bracelets, earrings, and pendants. Save the date for our annual Mother's Day Sethi Couture Trunk Show, May 12-13. Designer Pratima Sethi will be here in person!

chocolates with yellow and white gold diamond stud earrings in them

Happy February! This month we get to indulge our love for all things pink and heart-shaped, like these romantic tourmaline rings from Arman SarkisyanWe are open Tuesday - Thursday from 10am to 4pm and Friday - Saturday from 10am to 5pm for your Valentine gift giving. Stop by anytime or make an appointment. You can also text us at our main number (206.623.2528).

February's birthstone is regal purple amethyst. Amethyst is believed to relieve stress, soothe irritability, balance mood swings, and dispel fear, anxiety, and negativity. This amethyst and diamond cobblestone heart from Single Stone would be the perfect gift for your February baby. Emerald, opal, turquoise, ruby, and sapphire are available as well!

Instead of a box of chocolates, how about a Candy ring from Alex Sepkus? Every color mix is hand-selected with multicolored sapphires and diamonds. We've been carrying this incredible designer for 30 years now, and we love the glow of his intricately hammered 18k gold. All of the detail work on these heirloom-quality pieces is done by hand under a microscope!

Give her the moon and stars with celestial jewelry from Single Stone and John Apel. Jewelry with celestial motifs evokes a sense of joy and magic, and is associated with luck, love, and protection. Throughout the Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian periods, a moon and star together were a sweet statement of love, and where we can derive the phrase, “love you to the moon and back."

February is tulip season at Pike Place Market, and our giant tulip windows are back! Nothing goes better with a bunch of flowers than our favorite Alex Sepkus heart pendant. We love how subtle the heart shape is, which makes this necklace a great choice even if you don't think of yourself as a heart jewelry person.

This month marks the 15-year anniversaries of Keiko and Justine! They started a week apart in 2008. Keiko is our inventory manager, and keeps the store running with her impeccable organizational skills. She loves to garden and keep bees in her spare time. Justine is our buyer, and also runs our social media. When she's not thinking about jewelry, she loves to read and quilt.

January's birthstone is the garnet, which is thought to be one of the oldest crystals used for spiritual protection throughout history. Although red is the best known color, they come in many beautiful shades including orange, green, and purple. We love this juicy rhodolite garnet ring in 22k gold from Gurhan

No other gemstone symbolizes new beginnings quite like the vivid green emerald. We just received an incredibly special necklace from Bayco Jewels featuring a hand-carved Colombian emerald cameo from the Victorian era. Emerald carvings are extremely rare, as the material is very delicate to work with. Female faces are exceptionally rare during this time period as well.

New Year, new you? Our Erica Molinari charm collection is perfect for symbolizing your intentions for the year. We love these talismans with sayings of strength, courage, love, and life's lessons in Italian and Latin.

yellow gold and sapphire and diamond rings

It's the most wonderful time of the year - our annual Alex Sepkus Trunk Show is here! Candy will be here December 1-3 with the collection of intricate designs with one-of-a-kind gemstones. We have been carrying this incredible designer for 30 years, and look forward to this event all year long. Appointments are going quickly, reserve yours today

Tanzanite necklace with gold clasp on a wood prop

Lucky December babies have three gorgeous birthstones to choose from! Tanzanite is the exquisite blue-purple variety of the mineral zoisite that is only found in one part of the world. Named for its limited geographic origin in Tanzania, tanzanite has quickly risen to popularity since its discovery in 1967. Tanzanite is also the gem for a 24th wedding anniversary.

large blue stone

The second December birthstone, zircon is a tragically underrated gemstone that’s often confused with synthetic cubic zirconia due to similar names. Few people realize that zircon is a spectacular natural gemstone available in a variety of colors such as red, orange, yellow, brown, green, and blue.

Last but not least, turquoise has a rich history throughout millennia and across a variety of cultures. The earliest uses were beads found in Iraq, dating back to 5000 BC, and Native Americans have mined turquoise in the southwestern part of the United States for nearly a thousand years. We love these new turquoise earrings from Arman!

Speaking of Arman, we just received a gorgeous new selection of Arman Sarkisyan jewelry yesterday! We particularly love these new lockets in 22k gold and silver with emerald, lapis, and opal. Stop by the store or text us at 206-623-2528 to see more! These are so new they are not on the website yet.

multiple bangle bracelets in gold and silver with diamonds being held

Rene Escobar bracelets are such a great gift, and they are going quickly! These unisex silver bracelets have a sheet of 18k yellow, rose, or white gold fused to the top, making them so wearable, and so well priced, we can never keep them in stock for long. Perfect for gifting to yourself or someone else!

New charms from Erica Molinari just arrived too! These make wonderful gifts for everyone. The silver charms start at around $200, and go up from there with options in two-tone silver and 18k gold, or all gold with diamonds. We love to build stories with a beautiful mix of charms with meaningful motifs, symbols, and phrases.

We will be welcoming Denise from Sethi Couture for a special one-day pop-up on Saturday, November 19th! 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.

Manuel from Bayco Jewels will be visiting us from New York on November 16-17. If you are looking for something very special for the holidays, please let us know!

The sweetest baby bird locket in hand-engraved 22k gold, and baby bird studs in oxidized silver and diamonds. We also have the Louiza studs with rose cut diamonds in oxidized silver.

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.

Gold earrings with gemstones scattered around them

Opal, October's first birthstone, symbolizes faithfulness and confidence. Opal is a type of quartz that forms tiny spheres. When light hits the spheres, all the colors of the spectrum appear. In different lights, an opal’s rainbow fragments shift and change, revealing a fascinating display. We have some lovely opals from Ray Griffiths

Tourmaline, the second October birthstone, is one of our favorite gemstones. Egyptian legend says that tourmaline received its colors as it passed through a rainbow on its way up from Earth’s core. The gem symbolizes inspiration and once was believed to protect against evil. Our newest Alex Sepkus bracelet features blue-green tourmalines.

If you are thinking of buying a Nomos Glashutte timepiece, we have a great selection right now, including this newly arrived Club Campus. Almost all Nomos models are backordered by 10 months or more, so if we have one in stock that you love, we highly recommend picking one up. We also keep a waitlist for backordered models.

While in NYC this summer, we met with the lovely and gracious 3rd generation Hadjibay family at Bayco Jewels, who has long been our most trusted brand for extremely fine emerald, ruby, and sapphire pieces.

3 Hand painted charms in yellow gold on a hand. One white flower, one monarch butterfly and one mushroom.

September babies are lucky indeed to have sapphire as their birthstone! We have so many stunning pieces right now, including this sapphire ring from Single Stone. Most people think of classic royal blue when it comes to this gemstone, but sapphires come in every color of the rainbow (except the color red, which is classified as ruby). Sapphires symbolize loyalty, nobility, sincerity and integrity.

Speaking of sapphires in every color, the rest of our Alex Sepkus order is here! Now is the perfect time to shop to get the best selection for the holidays. We are all stocked up on Candy rings in every mix of colors you can imagine, one-of-a-kind gemstone rings and necklaces, lots of fun earrings, pendants, bracelets, and more!

Zoey and Justine were in NYC last month, and are thrilled to be bringing in more jewelry from longtime Fox's favorite Ray Griffiths. He is a ray of Australian sunshine, formally trained as a teenager to restore antique tiaras. These days he loves to combine his meticulous gold crownwork with gorgeous gems. We especially love his stretchy gemstone bracelets.

In celebration of Rosh Hashanah, we will be donating a portion of sales to Jewish Family Service during the month of September. In 1892, a group of 70 local Jewish women laid the groundwork for this charitable organization, which is a helping hand in our community to people of all backgrounds.

Thank you to everyone who came to our Samantha Louise Trunk Show last weekend! If you missed it, never fear. Samantha was kind enough to leave the jewelry and it will be here until Saturday, August 6th! We love her signature satin-finish gold jewelry with pops of emerald, opal, turquoise, and rustic diamonds. So fun for summer and all year round.

Jerri just celebrated 5 years at Fox's! She is such an important part of our team. Jerri holds two gemological degrees, including one that fewer than 400 people have. She is our gemstone expert extraordinaire, an incredibly knowledgeable salesperson, and she is responsible for our website too. She also makes a great jewelry model!

August babies have three birthstones to choose from: peridot, sardonyx, and spinel. Spinel is an incredibly beautiful gemstone which has spent most of its history being confused for ruby. Some of the most famous rubies in the world, including the Black Prince's Ruby in the crown jewels of England (shown here on Queen Victoria at her coronation), have actually turned out to be spinels.

Justine and Zoey are heading back to NYC for their last buying trip of the year on August 14th! Follow along on Instagram to see all of the sights, tons of jewelry, and who knows? Maybe a new designer! If there is anything in particular that you are looking for, let us know. We will be seeing Erica Molinari, ILA, John Apel, Rene Escobar, and more.

Erica loves to learn new jewelry techniques and always has something new up her sleeve.

Summer 2022 Jewelry Drop!

Happy July! Summer is a great time to be in Seattle. Pike Place Market is bursting with flowers, the Fairmont's gorgeous new restaurant The George is open, and we are here Tuesday through Saturday with beautiful jewelry! You can make an appointment to see us in person, shop online, or text us at our main number (206.623.2528). 

16 images of the Pike Place Market from flowers to the view from the market at night

Join us for our Samantha Louise Trunk Show on July 29th - 30th! Samantha will be making a personal appearance on both days to show off her entire collection, including these unique and completely customizable bands in her signature satin-finish gold. We love her ear cuffs, bracelets, necklaces, stacking bands, and engagement rings too! 

Yellow gold and emerald rings and turquoise ring

July babies have one of our favorite birthstones - the incredibly juicy ruby! Rubies symbolize love, energy, passion, and a zest for life. Along with sapphires, they score a 9 out of 10 on the Moh's scale of hardness, making them a wonderful gemstone to use for an engagement ring or wedding band. Rubies are also the traditional gift for a 40th wedding anniversary.

Zoey and Justine are back from their buying trip to Las Vegas, and new one-of-a-kind jewelry is already starting to roll in! Our first stop is always Alex Sepkus so we get first pick. We fell in love with this faceted Tahitian pearl and diamond necklace. It's not too early to shop for the holidays, because when these pieces are gone they're gone! 

Woman wearing glasses wearing a pearl and diamond necklace

One of the most fun things we bought in Las Vegas was a collection of rainbow sapphire stacking rings from Sethi Couture. We bought the whole set of nine different styles, and they are already here! Shop in-store or online. We will be donating 5% of the proceeds of each sale to the Trevor Project.

18K yellow gold stack of rainbow sapphire rings with a peachy orange background

We also brought back some spectacular new pieces from Single Stone! We are especially excited about the Evren long 18k gold chain with a charm holder at the end. We got the Ophelia moon charm with antique old mine and old European cut diamonds, and the Kinsley pave diamond star pendant.

We had such a hard time deciding what to get from Arman Sarkisyan. His jewelry always makes us swoon! We bought lovely hand-engraved lockets with sapphires, tourmaline, and opal. He generously sent us even more jewelry for our cases, including our favorite bracelet that he has ever made! Text or email for photos, or just stop by.
