Octo Designs

Can’t say enough great things about the service I received. Fast, friendly, professional, and a high-​quality repair for my gold links.

Bought our wedding bands from Tony 13 years ago and he has polished our rings twice a year
free of charge to this day. Wonderful person, great business.

My name is Joni. This is my review:
Based on reviews at other sites I chose to have a ring made here. It didn’t look anything like any of the samples I chose from a site to which I was referred. I decided to wear it and give it a chance to grow on me however, the band of the ring and the point of the stone cuts into my finger. Based on people saying how Tony goes to great lengths to fix things so people are happy I asked him to redesign the ring so it doesn’t cut into my finger. That was months ago and every time I call or email him he says the ring is almost ready.
I hope my faith and trust in him was not misplaced. I prefer to praise people rather than denigrate them.

I needed a sterling silver ring resized, and Tony was great. I made an appointment, told him what I needed, and he did it right there in the blink of an eye! Very friendly, and very professional.

What a delight to spend 10 minutes with Tony at Octo Designs. He is just as great as Unilocal says he is! I needed the hooks replaced in a pair of earrings I’ve had for years. Apparently no job is too small for Tony, who replaced the hooks while I waited, no charge. I offered a tip and he replied, «Armenians don’t accept tips, but we do accept beer money.» I’ll definitely be back for any jewelry repair needs. Thank you, Tony!

Very friendly and helpful! I came in with a pearl earring that needed to be glued back on the post. He fixed it in five minutes while I waited and didn’t charge me anything.

He lives up to the hype and the other reviews. Tony sized my engagement ring in about 15 minutes while I waited. Great work, nice guy, fair price.

After my pregnancy my ring just didn’t fit right anymore. I was super disappointed in not being able to wear it, and I know it bothered my husband.
I found Octo Designs on Unilocal and I’m super happy everyone was right!
He was reasonable priced, ready and willing to work with me on scheduling so I could make it in and fast– he fixed my ring while I waited. Now I have my engagement and wedding band as one ring and I feel whole again.
He also guaranteed his work which means I’ll be going back if every I need anything else repaired.
Thanks!

WOW! This guy is the cream of the crop when it comes to jewelry design and repair! Look no further, he’s your man!
I needed my engagement ring resized (sized down) and Tony took care of it the same day I called in less than 10 minutes! My ring is from a custom design from etsy with twig detailing on the band. The etsy shop owner is in Denver and was going to charge us $ 75 plus $ 50 round trip shipping!
I showed up to Tony’s little studio & barely had to say a word before he was off working his magic. After measuring my finger we figured out I was in between two sizes, so he just made up my own personal ring size!
I expressed my concern about my finger swelling in the summer & he assured me he could upsize it for free if I needed!
It was great to see Tony work so quickly yet meticulously. He’s like Willy Wonka in the chocolate factory, buzzing around all this machinery and making things come alive!
The best part of the deal, it only cost me $ 30 to resize!!! He also polished the ring so it sparkled brighter than I’ve ever seen and assured free cleaning as long as I could catch him!
Look no further for any and all jewelry repair needs. This guy is the jewelry whisperer!

I have always wanted to have «a guy.» You know, like «Oh, you need a hummingbird feeder? I got a guy.» «Oh, you looking for flavored cement? I got a guy.»
Well now I have a jewelry guy. His name is Tony, and he is fantastic.
Tony is the awesome (and rare) combination of knowledgeable, professional, trustworthy, and affordable. The center stone on my engagement ring was loose, so I was understandably eager to get it repaired. I got quotes from other places for $ 20, $ 50, $ 100… places that said I’d need to leave it there for the day, or for the week because they’d be sending it off… Tony did it right it front of me in literally 5 minutes, tightening other small stones on the basket that I couldn’t even tell were loose, polished it up with his crazy machines so it looked newer than new, answered all my ridiculous questions with patience and a friendly smile… and didn’t charge me a cent. Guess where I’ll be going for my wedding bands, and any other jewelry I have made or repaired. No question: Tony’s my guy!

Fantastic jeweler. Small little shop hidden in pioneer square, but don’t let it fool you he does some of the best work in seattle. Had my wife’s wedding band repaired-​it is a one-​of-​a-​kind ring from a high end shop down in l.a., (a diamond had fallen out)-and work was so good we couldn’t even tell which one had been replaced. Timing just as he said, and reasonably priced; highly recommended.

What a joyful guy. All of the reviews are true — he will talk your ear off — in a good way. He is a great person, reasonably priced, and does great work.
He is also open minded if you are looking for a piece that is spiritual or is intended to carry the energy of the gem or mineral.
I am so glad I followed the Unilocal trail to find Tony!

Tony is awesome! Less than a week before our wedding we realized that my finance’s ring was too small. Tony sized it while I waited for a very reasonable price. He took a lot of time adjusting it until it was perfect. He’s done other repairs for me as well and his work is always expert, timely, and reasonably priced. Parking is free and he’s just a really nice guy. Highly recommend this jeweler!

I have dealt with Tony for a number of years. He has fashioned jewelry of my design and with his expert advice, guidance and excellent craftsmanship the end results have been perfect. He also repaired my wife’s wedding ring which I designed over 30 years ago (the design flaw I created finally manifested itself in a big way). Tony repaired the ring and the design flaw and the wife was very happy.
Tony has moved to 900 1^st Ave. S. on the corner of 1^st and Occidental on the 4^th floor of the Squire Building. And has a new phone number — 206 850 6254.
Tony’s price each time has been very reasonable, especially considering that he deals with precious metals and gems.
Also, a real plus, Tony is just a great and engaging guy who will talk your arm off especially if you get onto the topic of Armenia. Be sure to look for his poster on Armenia and ask Tony to explain it to you.

I went to the Antiques store at Pike Place Market and asked for a recommendation for an inspection and any necessary fixes for my antique 1930s vintage engagement ring. They referred me to Tony at Octo Designs, who does all of their jewelry work. I emailed him and set up an appointment and had a great experience. He found that my main diamond was loose, and fixed it and cleaned my ring in a matter of minutes. Very friendly to work with.
His location has changed to South First.

Tony is a REALLY GOOD old school jeweler that has also updated his skills and equipment to the latest techniques. He fixed a very expensive custom Natural Alexandrite ring of mine that no one else would touch, and I have not had any problems with it since — and at a very reasonable price to top it off. I would trust him with anything.

Tony is a great jeweler. He is affordable and honest. His clients and colleagues trust him.
We love Tony and Octo Designs.
