Marci Jewelry

My fiance had proposed without a ring because he felt more comfortable choosing something together. I went with a gf ring shopping and went to multiple jewelry stores and didn't find anything that really made me say "this is it!". Without a clear idea of what I wanted (and not realizing how picky I really was in the setting) we wandered into the store. We were told to look for a store in Bellevue near NE 8th but didn't know the name. Emiko greeted us and immediately showed me a few stones and settings. She quickly got John involved in the process to custom make my setting. It only took a couple of days to get a few more stones for me to choose from. When I asked to see some pink diamond and sapphire melees, he also brought them in quickly. My fiance negotiated a price which we both felt was a great deal. (At other stores we would have spent twice as much for what I wanted). We were told it would take two weeks to get the setting model done in sterling silver. When we were finally called in my fiance looked at it and said "wow I'll take it in silver, it looks just like platinum!". That was because John had went ahead and just made it in platinum thinking that if I didn't like it he would keep it anyways. The setting is perfect and the stone is crazy sparkly, so I get tons of compliments! I took the ring back a couple days after I got it because I noticed a small scratch in the cathedral (maybe happened in the setting process?), and they took it back and fixed it within a day no charge. I recently took the ring back to get it polished and setting checked. They are great and I recommend them to all of my friends. Marci is not a place who will give you first class service until you pay then kick you to the curb. I will go back for purchases in the future!

My Fiance and I recently bought my engagement ring at Marci and we couldn't be happier. The ring is absolutely gorgeous! After shopping around all the various stores in Seattle, I find that Marci's price is reasonable and the staff is not pushy at all. Most importantly, they found me a beautiful and crazy sparkly diamond. I've been getting a lot of complement on my ring. All the staff there is simply wonderful. We are definitely going back to Marci for our wedding rings. Thanks Marci!

My hubby bought me the most beautiful engagement ring 14 years ago from Marci (on his mom's rec - she had shopped there a lot) and flew down from Alaska to make the purchase. It's a marquis in a custom set w/ 22 princess cut diamonds on the side. When we were in Seattle last month, I lost one of the princess cuts, brought it in to them, they replaced it for a fee (I was supposed to have it serviced over the last 7 years and didn't...so I had to pay) and they remembered me and our family and the ring! The ring looks like new and I can't believe how they brought it back to life! They've helped us out numerous times over the years and John is always available - he's awesome! Thanks Marci for making us feel special, for having such high quality and for not being just 'another jewelry' store.

My husband and I were "just looking" to see how much it would be to "trade up" to a new diamond for my wedding ring. I found a very fiery diamond in a good price range, after going through quite a few. This diamond was beautiful and my husband said yes. Then they showed us this new diamond in a platinum band with two small emerald-cut diamonds on either side. I almost started crying. It was gorgeous. Well, it was still within the price range (pretty much) and I have been asked if it's a 3 carat stone, even though it's not even close. I have had many women grab my hand and some even ask to try it on. I feel it was a good deal. I feel like I'm a trophy wife. Even if I had put my older smaller stone into this new band, it would have been gorgeous. These people have taste. (I also have a gold brooch from a Marci's sale which I bought years ago.)

We went there after meeting them at the Wedding expo in Tacoma. Although they did not remember our faces, they remembered my engagement ring, and made us feel like the most important customers ever, eventhough we were both in our weekend's best... jeans and t-shirts. We told them what we wanted, and they showed us the best possible thing for us. They have an eye for matching jewelry to their customers. Their sales people are wonderfully honest, and not pushy. I will be going back!! It is no wonder they have a reputation for great customer loyalty

PROS: Honesty, and no pushy sales people
CONS: can't think of one

I liked Marci Jewelry a lot. They have a lot of special 'events' bringing out a lot of jeweler reps. We got much better deals on our wedding bands there than we were priced elsewhere. The atmosphere is nice and the jewelry is high-quality. We were always treated very nicely, although we are young and looked a bit scruffy on the weekends.

One man who worked there was a bit annoying, slow and kept sizing my husband wrong. So that ended up taking us another month or two to have the band resized, but everyone else was great.
