Earthworks Gem Design Studio

If you haven't visited Earthworks on the corner of First Avenue South and Titus Streets in downtown Kent, make time to stop by. This jewelry boutique, owned by Steve & Donna St. Louis, is one of my favorite jewelry stores. I bought a gold & silver ring designed by Steve there a few months ago, and I just love it. It's pretty, funky and different. They have unique jewelry, hand created by several different artists. They have a great selection, particularly of wedding jewelry. I stopped by last week to check out wedding bands for my fiance and they had a good selection ranging from affordable to pricey. What I liked is that there were unique choices...not just your usual gold and silver bands with the occasional diamond tossed in. In addition to their inventory, they also do customized designs, jewelry cleaning and appraisals - your one stop jewelry shop, I guess you could say. Stop in next time you're downtown and make sure you tell them Dana said, "hi!"

I love Cookie Lee Jewelry!

A few years ago I had never heard of Cookie Lee jewelry. Maybe they didn't sell it in Indiana, but I've met several sales reps since moving to Kent. Everyone does something a little bit different, but my favorite Cookie Lee rep is Dena Brandt of Kent. She has a low pressure way about her, and she has a great collection of items to try on. She's even let me take a few items on a test run. In fact, for a PSA we filmed for Northwest Afternoon on KOMO4-TV for Wine, Women, Wow, Dena let us all wear some of her latest jewelry.

Dena is always decked out in her newest pieces, and usually has a catalog or display purse with her, so you'll know her when you see her! If you need something sparkly to set off your newest outfit or a gift for that hard-to-buy-for someone, give Dena a call. She loves to talk Cookie Lee!
