Many, many, many thanks go out to Keenan at Sachi Fine Jewelry and Design in Snohomish, WA. About 2 months ago, the center diamond to my wedding set fell out. I have no idea where, I just looked down at my hand and noticed the empty prongs. I was devastated, but take some of the blame since I never had my prongs checked; the ring is 9 years old.
Since I was able to acquire a ring from my mom with a marquee center stone similar in size, I needed to find a jeweler to do the job. I had been to the common stores in the mall and wasn't impressed with the people behind the counter and just didn't feel good about giving them my business. Besides, I really like supporting my communities by doing business with local owners whenever possible.
I spend a fair amount of time in Snohomish and frequently drive or walk past Sachi, but had never been in. One afternoon, after having lunch at the Snohomish Bakery and Cafe, I asked the gal behind the counter what she knew about Sachi's. She said they've been making a really good name for themselves since moving in to that location. A customer in line behind me immediately spoke up and proudly showed me a ring that had been made by Sachi's. I felt confident this was going to be just the place I was looking for.
It's a typical jewelry store with cases full of beautiful pieces... but on closer inspection, there were some really cool items I didn't think I'd find anywhere else. After talking with the folks behind the counter I knew I'd bring my ring back to them. The very next day I met Keenan. He was SO helpful, really knew his stuff and took as much time as I needed to answer questions. He put my newly acquired diamond under the scope to show me all the details. His comment (was something like) 'It's important to know everything about your diamond' sealed the deal.
The ring my mom gave me also had two little diamonds on either side of the center stone. We started talking about what to do with those and he suggested adding them to my existing wedding set. My set already has a particular design with some smaller channel set stones, so I wasn't sure how it would look, but trusted his vision. Boy am I glad I did. It turned out BEAUTIFULLY! I couldn't stop looking at it... He did a PHENOMENAL job. I give my highest recommendation to Keenan at Sachi's. I'm so excited... and when it comes time to get a different wedding set, it will most certainly be purchased at Sachi's. I just wish I could get a good photo of the finished product to show here... but none of them have turned out yet.
For great home town, personal service visit Sachi's and check out their traditional and unique designs; I promise you won't be disappointed.
