Valerie Madison: Seattle's Finest Jewelry Store for Unique Style

When we were picking out my engagement ring, we originally had an appointment at a large jeweler that has a Seattle location. After looking through their website and reviews the night before, I was no longer as excited to pick out a ring. Panicked, we searched for other options in the area. I am SO grateful we discovered Valerie Madison at that point- they even had an appointment the next day. The process of designing a custom ring with Amara was so fun and straightforward. We always looked forward to coming into the beautiful storefront. I am so happy with my sapphire engagement ring and am still dazzled by it over a year later! We also both got our wedding bands at VM and are extremely happy with the quality. You truly cannot go wrong here and it’s a great way to support a local, woman-owned business. So much love to the VM team!

I had an incredible experience working with Valerie Madison Jewelry to create a custom engagement ring for my fiancé. Valerie made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. She was exceptionally easy to work with, always receptive to my thoughts and opinions, and offered valuable insights and suggestions based on our initial conversation. Her responsiveness was impressive—she answered all my questions within 24 hours and guided me through every step with patience and expertise. The final ring exceeded all my expectations; Valerie's creativity truly shone through in the design. If you're looking for a personalized, high-quality experience, I highly recommend supporting this local business. Trust Valerie to create the magical ring of your dreams!

Chelsea was such a pleasure to work with! She helped me find the perfect wedding band to match my engagement ring and style. Would 100% recommend Valerie Madison for jewelry pieces.

If you’re looking for a Black / Latina / Women owned jeweler for your yourself or special someone look no further. I am based on the east coast and I couldn’t have picked a better place to work with! You’ll get white glove service and a luxurious and unique product. One of the amazing things about Valerie Madison is a lot of her engagement rings are one of a kind, unlike a chain jeweler. Offer yourself or your special someone a symbol as irreplaceable as they are! After my fiancé selected my ring it was removed from the website (I know because I’m a sneaky little fiancée and wanted see how much he paid lol). I worked with Amara to select a wedding band to go with my ring and she was amazing!! We had several calls to discuss what was best and even worked through a couple of custom designs. Keep in mind we worked with the east coast / west coast time difference! I ultimately ended up ordering 2 rings online! And guess what! I received a call and email with a picture of what my stack would look like with the rings I selected so I could see before my order was filled! Turns out Amara saved me from selected a ring that would not fit in my stack! Thank you Amara!! I bought my rings on Black Friday and after my order was perfected VM still honored my Black Friday discount. 12/10 customer service!! Can’t wait to wear all my rings this July! Woo!

I designed my wife's ring through Valerie Madison in 2019. We went there to look at rings and we were both drawn to the different styles of bands offered, and to the gem selection. None of the finished rings fit exactly what we wanted, but we were able to pick out a lavender spinel gemstone we both loved and glean which stylistic choices we preferred from the rings they had on hand. Gemstone secured, I worked with them through email without my wife to pick out some ethically-sourced diamonds from Canada, and picked the band style, band material, and mounts for the stones. They send a CAD design once it was finished to get the final stamp of approval. I misinterpreted one element of the design so they walked me through any questions I had. Turns out they nailed it! The timeline and price were super reasonable and the ring was perfect when I picked it up. I think there was a deposit involved with custom rings...maybe half once the design was approved and half on pickup? Honestly I still can't believe how easy the process was. Everyone was super helpful the whole way through, and the ring hasn't had any issues five years later.

This shop is incredible! My husband and I both planned to propose to each other, so we each needed an engagement ring & a wedding band for the other. The staff was so warm, helpful, & accommodating the entire time, and made sure we understood everything about process and timeline. It’s also just beautiful in the shop and the jewelry feels like art. What was especially meaningful to me (as a multiracial person and in an interracial marriage) was shopping at a local, values-aligned business owned by a multiracial jewelry maker. I recommend VM to all my friends looking for engagement/wedding bands or other fine jewelry!

Working with Valerie Madison is a dream experience. We worked with Amara to design my engagement ring and the whole process was easy, approachable, and fun! After we described what we were looking for, she brought out various gems and went over the qualities and sources of each stone. The process of creating the ring exceeded our expectations. We also purchased wedding bands from Valerie Madison. They helped customize my husband’s ring to match the stone in my engagement ring – which is such a cherished touch. Since our wedding, we’ve revisited the shop for gifts and more jewelry to add to our collection – I LOVE the Dua Ring and Emerald Bubble Studs. It’s always a pleasant shopping experience and the team consistently offers us complimentary ring cleaning whenever we pop in. If you're searching for unique and well-crafted fine jewelry, look no further than Valerie Madison. Their passion, creativity, and dedication to their craft shine through in every piece they create. Thank you to the Valerie Madison team for making our special day (and beyond!) even more unforgettable with your beautiful creations.

Recommended to us by a friend, my husband worked with Lauren to make my custom Zara oval diamond engagement ring. We also purchased our wedding bands (diamond wave band and classic domed band) through Valerie Madison. We love our rings and had the best experience. I love stopping by Valerie Madison when I am in the neighborhood to shop and look around. They have small items such as cards, candles, and lotion that make great gifts for any occasion.

Working with Valerie was as wonderful and easy as I could've ever hoped for! From stopping in the first time to try on different styles to designing a ring, every step was so easy with Valerie and the result is the most beautiful ring that made my fiancee and I's engagement the perfect moment. I can't thank Valerie enough, and I will be back for future special moments in our lives!

Such a great experience! We worked with Nia in October to design my engagement ring. She answered all of our million questions and gave great information. The ring came out even better than expected and is perfect!

Working with Valerie was amazing. I had a very general idea of what I was looking for an engagement ring and she was able to understand what I wanted (and did not want) and work with my fiancé to create an absolutely stunning ring. I am beyond happy with how the ring turned out and know my fiancé loved working with Valerie. I couldn't recommend her and her staff enough!

I ordered wedding bands for our 36 th Anniversary, we were due for an upgrade. Let me tell you Valerie Madison DID NOT disappoint. The rings are stunning and the customer service was superb. I'll definitely be making future purchases from this company.

We had such a wonderful time working with Lauren. She was very knowledgeable and thorough in helping us design our engagement ring and offered great suggestions for the paired wedding band (wave). Couldn’t recommend them more and are thrilled to have an heirloom family piece from Valerie Madison.

Love, Love, LOVE!! After following Valerie Madison for years on Instagram, I finally was able to get to the store. It's absolutely gorgeous. The pieces are STUNNING. I fell in love with everything I saw. The lovely lady who helped me was wonderful. She let me take my time and helped me with my selections. I decided to go with the Emerald Cut Pink Sapphire Demi Band, but was a little hesitant. Even though I loved it, I wished it was in white gold instead of yellow. Well, turned out they were more than happy to custom make my ring in White gold at no additional charge! A few short weeks later, I now have a beautiful ring I wear everyday that I constantly get compliments on. This was my first time shopping with Valerie Madison, but it certainly won't be the last!

The team at Valerie Madison made purchasing an engagement incredibly easy. The full process was very enjoyable, with consistent communication and incredible attention to detail. The ring was exactly what I was looking for. My fiancé loves the ring, and it is exactly what she envisioned. She gets many compliments on it. I fully recommend anyone work with Valerie Madison, especially with excellent staff member Lauren.

I got my wedding band from Valerie Madison after lots of research. Customer service was extremely helpful on instagram and promptly sent me examples of bands with a similar engagement ring to mine. Absolutely love my rings together!

My partner and I had the absolute best experience at Valerie Madison! We are so happy with how everything turned out and cannot recommend them enough. I had been following their Instagram for a couple years and knew that should we ever choose to get married that this was the place for us. We had custom consultations with Amara, who is exceptional. She made the entire custom ring process feel so easy – and for someone who overthinks everything, I truly appreciated her attentiveness to creating the perfect rings for us. The peach sapphire ring set they created is truly stunning. I was over the moon that Amara was able to blend two of my favorite styles from Valerie Madison into something unique for us, I cannot imagine having done anything different now! We will be returning soon to choose my partner’s wedding band as well. We can’t wait to be back!

We bought my husband's wedding band from Valerie Madison, and he gets compliments for it on a daily basis! We are so grateful to have a unique band. The VM team was very helpful through the whole process, all their jewelry is truly stunning.

Valerie Madison was the only company we wanted to work with for our wedding set. Collaboration with Amara was flawless: she listened to our ideas and worked with my (now) husband to create my dream engagement ring, so of course we returned for our wedding bands. We’ll be customers for life!
