Antiques in Bothell, WA

“So my 14th wedding anniversary is quickly approaching and...well, yeah, I'm kind of scrambling as I usually like to have this sort of thing figured out months ahead of time. Anyways the symbolic gifts for the 14th wedding anniversary are ivory, opal and gold jewelry and since our first anniversary we've always used those traditional/modern symbols that go with each wedding year as gift ideas. Kinda makes it easy but sometimes we had to get creative. In this case I thought meh, gold jewelry should be simple enough, but at the same time it's so cliché and well, that's always been my fall back when I can't think of anything else. I did think of synthetic/fake ivory or maybe something with an elephant, but I didn't like anything I found and didn't want to settle. Then oddly enough I came across the name Ivory Jacks on one of those side advertisements probably due to the creepy interweb stalking of my Google searches. So of course rather than clicking the link I do my own online research of the company, found their website and went from there. I asked my questions, they answered promptly. Apparently they use ivory from fossil mastodon/wooly mammoth tusks. So genuine ivory, just not from the illegal poaching of elephants. Well, after a few days of asking questions, going through their website, more online research I decided to pull the trigger and order a genuine ivory ring. And within a few days I had the perfect 14th wedding anniversary present for my wife! Though I never spoke to anyone, they were very good at answering my questions through their website and email, I found their website informative, ordering process easy, they shipped quickly, and the ring is very cool. Hoping the wifey feels the same way. On top of that they are a local small business which I do love to support when and where I can. So if you are in the market for a unique gift with actual history(I mean how cool and unique is fossil mammoth ivory) I would look into Ivory Jacks eco conscious Jewelry. They make more than rings BTW.”

“The proprietor is very friendly, but if I'm being honest, the prices are quite high. There is a wide selection of estate jewlery, watches, and other collectibles.”

“I love going into this shop and the people there. They are always so friendly and helpful. The level of customer service here is hard to find anywhere anymore! The booths are always nicely done and I never see loads of dust and trash that you normally see in other shops or sloppy thrown-together booths with broken displays. They work hard to keep it clean and nice and it shows. You can also see the different personalities in each person's unique displays. Which makes it even more fun to explore and shop in my opinion. I hadn't been able to stop by in a very long time until last week. I don't get to the Bothell area that much anymore. I'm hoping to go back this week lol... When I stopped by the atmosphere was still the same very friendly and helpful as it always was before! I would recommend everyone to stop by and check this shop out if you haven't! They have a lot of fun and unique items for sale to fit anyone's taste and style. I can spend hours just having fun exploring the large selection of items. It's great for finding a gift for someone special or that friend that's hard to buy for. If ever I was looking for something specific in the past they would try to find it for me. They are great at answering any questions you may have or reaching out to people they know to try and find an item you are trying to looking for as well. I would give this business more stars if I could!?????????????️ ??️?????”
