Before there was a Click! Design That Fits, Click! creative director Frances Smersh was primarily a jewelry designer. Recently Frances felt she needed to create new work, and turned to Click! assistant manager Michelle Ting to help realize her ideas into physical pieces. The results of this collaboration will be revealed this Saturday with a special event at Click!.  The new collection is titled "Nos Familles" (Our Families). Michelle talks about the process of working together, and the naming of the collection: "Work begets work" is a mantra I like to keep in the studio space. For us, our work started with...

Click! is now an official drop off location for the Women's Shelter Jewelry Project. Bring your unwanted jewelry in any condition (even broken pieces, or earrings with lost mates) to Click!, and members of the Seattle Metals Guild will love them up to a condition worthy to be gifted to women in Seattle area women's shelters and the YWCA's Dress for Success program.  Saturday November 4th will be our first official collection event (coordinated with the launch of a new collection of our own Smersh Design Jewelry), though you can drop pieces at any time.

It is amazing to think that a material that was discovered millions of years ago is still being used today, and not to mention innovatively! ie. jewelry! Concrete is a sustainable and affordable resource which...

We. Love. Karen. Konzuk. Karen is a PNW-based jeweler working out of Vancouver, BC. She's known for her modern, minimal designs featuring industrial materials like stainless steel and concrete, often juxtaposed with precious metals and diamonds. We've carried her signature lines of commitment rings for years, and many of you have celebrated your engagements & weddings with her rock-solid designs. We're thrilled to share that on Saturday, April 16th from 10-5p, we're holding a launch of Konzuk's Stellar collection, featuring inlaid concrete & diamond dust (translation: sparkling, shimmering concrete). Along with her other jewelry collections (which feature coal black concrete and ombre concrete spheres), she will be bringing her...
