Where is the Best Jewelry in Portland, Oregon?
My wife’s two rings (both designed and crafted by Thomas) have quite a story in their design and crafting; and are only as great as they are due to Thomas’ craftsmanship, skill, and character, which are all considerable.I was deployed to the middle east when I decided to find a suitable ring for my fiancee. After extensive research spanning four months, (starting out at pricescope-dot-com and branching out throughout the sprawling miasma of information on diamonds and rings available on the net) I contacted the head of EightStar diamonds and was enormously impressed with the personal service and excellent diamonds available, and purchased an amazing stone. The president of EightStar personally recommended Mr. Jones of Jones and Jones Jewelers as being the finest jeweler available to set an Eightstar.I contacted Mr. Jones and requested a Tiffany-style custom setting in platinum. He replied promptly and was exceedingly helpful in offering suggestions that transformed my original
I lived in Portland ten years ago and my true passion for art became alive the minute I found Twist. I had no concept that what appeared at first to be just a silver necklace and then, a beaded bracelet could cost what they did. But, after spending some time looking around and speaking with one of the staff I soon learned there was more to it than that. And thus began my love for this art.When I left Portland I missed shopping at Twist. But found that I could still find most of my favorite artists via the net. Over the years artists have come and gone as they do anywhere. However, Twist has an astonishing eye for keeping their gallery fresh, on the edge, and always an exciting place to visit. I have my favorites too and some are gone and some are still there. I’ve been to many of the artist?s galleries to shop/browse. A couple that I’ve done a lot of business with I’ve actually been into their studios?. I had a small birthday celebration at one of my favorite artist’s galleries. When
Okay, so I can’t say enough about beadalex. My first piece of Alex Vanpelt jewerly was three years ago for my wedding. I could not find what I was looking for and had given up until I met with her for a consult for a custom piece. My gown had an exquisite snowflake french lace pattern that was difficult to compliment with jewelry. After my consult with Alex the designer, I felt so relieved. Taking several neck measurements she came up with a design that was absolutely perfect. It was really hard not seeing a finished piece I could just buy off the shelf, but after looking at all the other gorgeous pieces in her studio, I just put my trust in her. When my set was ready and I went for my fitting, words can not express….. I cried because it was so delicate and beautiful; she had even found a 14K gold and diamond snowflake which was the focal point of the design. I wish I could post a photo of it . It is truely a work of art. I have a little girl now and I look forward to the da
Cheeky B is so much fun! It is like a little department store tucked into the Pearl. I love their great selection of cards, the hilarious novelty section, and I can always find something for my grandchild. The housewares items are unique and I love finding just the right gift for family and friends or even myself! I like that they have many local designers as well as national brands so that there is a wide variety of items to explore. They also bring in new merchandise all the time. The staff is helpful and friendly, no pressure to buy, and they gift wrap for free. This is a great place to find that perfect gift for people of all ages and tastes.Pros + Ambience, Selection, Price
