Hi, we’re Nick and Jenna, the humans behind

 Way Out West Jeweler.

We make fine jewelry for people who don’t necessarily want their jewelry to look like everyone else’s.

Nick fell into jewelry in 2014, working in a production shop and quickly realizing that the part he loved most wasn’t making jewelry faster, it was making it by hand. The carving, sawing, soldering, stone setting, engraving, and all the tiny decisions that turn a lump of metal into something completely its own.

So we built Way Out West Jeweler around that idea: fine jewelry with a little more personality, a little more fun, and a whole lot more hands on.

Jenna brings the design brain, the obsessive eye for details, the collection curation, and the general ability to keep this wonderfully chaotic little operation moving forward.

No Factories. No Copy & Paste.

Every piece we make is built from the ground up in our small Pacific Northwest shop. No mass-produced jewelry, No 3D-printed shortcuts.

Nick builds each piece the traditional way, by hand! From the first sketch and hand-carved wax to fabrication, stone setting, and hand engraving.

And yes, the engraving is actually done by hand, too. Every tiny line. Every imperfect little detail. Every piece gets the time it deserves.

The result is jewelry that feels less like something you bought and more like something you found.

We use recycled gold and ethically sourced diamonds and gemstones whenever possible because beautiful jewelry shouldn’t have to come at the expense of the places we love.

But responsible materials are only part of the story.

We’re interested in creating jewelry with a point of view, pieces that can feel romantic, strange, rebellious, playful, sentimental, or all of the above. Jewelry that looks like you, not a trend report.

From a tiny charm with a secret meaning to a completely bespoke engagement ring, every piece is made with intention and built to be worn, lived in, and eventually passed down.

Fine jewelry, but make it weird. That’s Way Out West Jeweler!
