Bridal Jewelry

Summer is on it’s way, at least we hope it is here in Seattle!   And with it brings the beginning of  the Wedding Season!  I know that for many brides and grooms these last few months can get a little stressful as things are coming down to the wire.  It’s important to realize that no matter how much more you still need to do, it will all get taken care of in the end. It also helps to look forward to the tasks that are exciting to plan… for instance, your bridal jewelry!

Amy Bixby is experienced in making beautiful personalized jewelry for brides and bridesmaids.  She takes care to listen to the customer’s requests and ideas and takes time to get a sense for each individual she is creating for.  Jewelry is very personal and  intimate, especially when given as a gift or designed for a special occasion.  It will remain a precious heirloom  marking the occasion for many years to come.
