Fremont Jewelry Design

A wonderful crowd with quality, artisan wares. So creative and friendly.

I brought my girlfriends necklace into this place to get it repaired, two days later they call me to come pick it up. I pick it up, give it back to my girlfriend and she says, «Did you buy a different chain for it?» I said, «uhm, no. Why?» She says, «Well it’s much thinner and longer than mine» I examine it and sure enough, it’s different. Confused, I go back to the shop today and the lady tells me that it is the same chain, which it is surely not. Then as I tell her, very respectably, that it is definitely different, she begins to yell at me. I didn’t know what to do so I just left the shop. So I don’t know, they took the original silver chain and replaced it with a different one? Either way, I’m not ever coming back here not only because of a possible chain swap but also the lack of professionalism. I wanted to support a local business but it turns out that it was a bad choice. Should have went to Jared’s or some other reliable business.

When my husband passed away in April I knew I wanted to do something special with his wedding ring to commemorate him. I was referred to Fremont jewelers by a family friend and I could not have been happier with the results. I contacted Lisa with my ideas and she created a design that would incorporate the ring into three necklaces for my daughters that is both beautiful and particularly meaningful. Lisa went above and beyond. Fremont’s attention to the specifics and careful handling of this very emotional matter made the entire process special and gave myself and my family a product that will help my husband’s memory live on forever. Thank you Lisa and the entire staff of Fremont Jewelry Design.

I collect unusual silver jewelry and antique silver tribal jewelry. I also enjoy finding unique pieces and re-​purposing them as well as designing jewelry. I depend exclusively on Fremont Jewelry Design for all my repairs, often on pieces that are irreplaceable. Lisa and Fremont Jewelry Design have also helped me actualize all my re-​purposing ideas and bring all my designs to life. I could not be happier or recommend Fremont Jewelry Design more highly. We have had a wonderful working relationship for years and I look forward to many more years working together.

I asked an artist friend of mine for a recommendation of a jewelry maker to create necklaces for me and my sister. I am so glad that she gave me Lisa’s contact information! Working over email, Lisa was able to take a picture of my Mom’s tattoo and turn it into an amazing pendant and necklace.
The necklace was a huge hit! I gave one of them to my sister on her birthday earlier this month. She gasped when she opened the box and instantly recognized it as our Mom’s tattoo. Thank you again for making something so beautiful that we will be able to treasure for many years. :)

My partner needed a ring resized, and the manager was helpful in assisting her and in offering to tighten a loose prong which we hadn’t noticed. Though there was a minor miscommunication on the quote (which didn’t include the prong tightening), Lisa was kind in taking responsibility and crediting us for the extra charge. The ring looks great, fits perfectly, and we’re glad to know the stone is fully secure.

I popped in 5 minutes before closing because of some amazzzzing earrings in the window. The shop is stunningly gorgeous and well merchandised, and you’d think you’d be encountering steep, steep prices to accompany that, but the pieces were quite reasonable.
The owner (I presume) was extremely engaging and quite sweet about me in there past closing. She also pointed out things she thought I might like as she was getting an idea for my style. She also showed me her own work, one of her designs, and some work in progress. She’s clearly very talented and passionate about her work.
I bought two things and did not break the bank.

Fremont Jewelry Design is a ‘gem’! And the owner Lisa is amazing!!! I came in with the craziest engagement ring idea. All I had was an old photograph of one (a circus animal standing on a ring!), and I didn’t even want MY ring to look like the one in the photograph. Lisa listened to my dreamy description, and understood right away just what I wanted. Soon she emailed me a beautiful drawing she’d done. Next, the wax-​caster did his magic, and Lisa kept me updated on how it would work. And then one day in the mail, the most beautiful ring I have ever seen arrived! My finance and I are so pleased. Highly recommended!

My fiancé and I wandered in here on accident hoping someone might be able to resize my ring he proposed with the day before. Adam was so friendly and even though the store was about to close he went right to work until it was the perfect size. It was all at no cost and he said it was his gift to us. So nice! Also browsing around the store looked like it had some really beautiful finds. Thank you Adam!!!

I stopped in the other day with 2 necklaces horribly tangled (20 month old toddler). I tried for hours working them through. I stopped in after, Dream, the store across the street recommended them. The jeweler gladly accepted the challenge of untangling in the kindest way. As I was waiting for my jewelry to get fixed, I spent time looking around. They have some very beautiful pieces from local artists. There was no charge in the work the jeweler accomplished. It was nice to be greeted with smiling faces.
Bonus:
He gave me a great simple way to store necklaces that tangle easily. You’ll just have to stop by to find out how. Simple, yet brilliant!

I am giving this shop a 5 star review only based a couple experiences that I had with who I believe to be the owner. I came in asking for a quote to have a single pendant necklace cleaned one day and she told me that she would do it for free! I have never had jewelry cleaned before so I don’t know how common this practice is but her attitude was great and sincere. Go check out this super cool shop at the center of the universe.

Fantastic, quick, welcoming, average repair prices.
I got a link taken out of a watch, and two watch batteries replaced for about $ 30. The craziest thing is that it took less than 5 minutes. These folks are wonderful for the little stuff like that, with amazing customer service. I can’t speak to any of the jewlery for sale, but if you need antyhing fixed, they’re your spot in Fremont!

One of our 25+ year old interlocking silver rings was almost destroyed and need serious repair. While it wasn’t their product and was seriously damaged (Two broken bands and seven or so fractures around the two broken bands!)
it was repaired then next day with the greatest of care.
Can’t speak for custom design work or general retail traits, but you’d be a fool to not at least check out a great local resource!
Thanks for the prompt good work and getting us back «together» again.

My wife and I had Lisa (owner) design a custom wedding ring to My Great Grandmother’s pillow cut diamond ring. It was not an easy challenge considering the design would have to follow the curves of this ring, but she did it. The ring looks great and fits the antique ring like it was made as a set. Love Fremont Jewelry Design, as a matter of fact, 6 months later I had a solo art show of my abstract paintings and Lisa threw a great artists reception… Ahhhh wine and cheese.

The stone on my engagement ring was loose. They fixed the problem (after others tried and failed) for a fair price, did not try to sell me unnecessary replating (unlike a certain chain store), and had it done earlier than promised.
There are some wonderful pieces in the store, which my husband hears about every birthday and anniversary.

I can’t say I had a good experience. I was pretty sure this was going to be the place for my ring. After meeting with the owner several times, I was told my budget of $ 3K would only allow for one ring, with diamonds I would be providing. Naturally, I was upset, and, after leaving the store to think about it, went across the street to Essenza.
Essenza sold me a Jamie Joseph diamond ring, within my budget, and I am now working with an independent designer downtown for a wedding ring, cost $ 350 plus tax.
I’m sure under the right circumstances, this jeweler would be right for the right couple, but def not for me.

We weren’t planning on buying here because we figured it was out of our price range, but I wanted to look anyway. The selection was beautiful, and we felt no pressure — we were treated like guests in their home rather than just customers. They helped us work with our budget to find something we would be happy with. The day we were to pick up our rings, Seattle was hit with the big snow storm so Lisa got in her 4-​wheel drive and brought the rings to our house! She wanted to make sure we had them before we left for California to get married.

Lisa is wonderful to work with! She’s sweet, personable and easy to talk to. She’s also an amazing jewelry designer. She has some very beautiful and unique pieces, and will work with you to get exactly what you are after.
We purchased my wedding set from her, and couldn’t be happier. I’m strongly recommending my husband buy me my first mother’s day gift from her!

What can I say? I bought some rings there. Nice place!

Fremont Jewelry Design is the best of both jewelry worlds: traditional expertise and new, original designs. Lisa is truly passionate about her work and every item in the shop (some of them are her own designs) and she can fix just about any broken piece you might have. There is a good mix of traditional jewelry like wedding bands and funky new designs by local artisans, as well as some art and small gift items. If there’s someone you need to spoil for a special occasion, look no further. A great addition to Fremont.
