Excellent workmanship, we love our wedding rings! We had them specially made for us, and when they weren't exactly what we wanted, he made them perfectly! Thank you!

Wonderful jeweler to work with! James and Terry were careful to explain the nuances and considerations of jewelry design to me, answered the multitude of questions I posed to them, and made sure that I was able to select the right ring at the end of the day. The end result was stunning, and I couldn't be happier. We've since had a lot of people ask where the ring was made, and I'm always happy to point them in James and Terry's direction.

Recently had a ring custom made, using a very sentimental stone. This was arranged through a local jeweler so I didn't interact directly with Mr. Binnion. I've seen a lot of pictures online, and the jewelry shop had some examples, but nothing prepared me for how it looked when it arrived. It took a little longer than estimated but in my opinion, was totally worth the wait. I chose 4 colors, a simple narrow band, etched. The ring is absolutely perfect. It's a stunning piece of art. James Binnion took a simple sketch and turned it into something above and beyond what I'd expected. Very, very pleased. ETA - March 2018 Due to weight loss and reduction in size of my finger (like everything else), the ring became much too loose. It was in danger of falling off and I was tired of wearing a guard ring next to it. So I contacted the Binnions directly to see about resizing it. They guided me through the whole process; they sent ring gauges for me to try, and a box to send the ring in. In a couple of weeks it was done. I paid the bill and they sent it back to me. It fits perfectly. Terry and Elizabeth were so helpful. The artist who did the resizing did a great job. My ring is perfect now and I'm really happy. Great customer service, and wonderful artistry and workmanship.

My husband and I got our wedding bands from James and Terry Binnion. James does the metalwork and Terry handles the front-end business. They're both wonderful people to work with. Since we live in Seattle, we were able to make multiple trips up to visit them so we could get exactly what we wanted. James is one of the top experts of mokume-gane in the country. It's a very old technique used first used in Japan to make samurai swords and fine knives. The technique has now been modernized but it's still a very labor intensive job. We first became interested in getting these wedding bands after a friend showed us their work online. My then-fiance was very interested in getting something different for his band (but not flash) and when he saw the wood grain mokume pattern, he knew he had to have it! They don't have a storefront - all the work is done in their home studio. We called ahead to make an appointment (we only gave them a few hours notice the first time - oops), and Terry was able to show us the bands that we were interested in. They are very warm people and they welcomed our hyperactive puppy into their home as well. Their work is not cheap, but we wanted to get nice bands since it was going to be the only jewelry that my husband is ever going to wear and we wanted them to last a lifetime. Terry was able to provide us with a variety of quotes for different metal combinations so we were able to find one that was in budget. She also answered a multitude of questions over email and very patiently over the phone. I would definitely recommend James and Terry for wedding bands and other jewelry.
