Fancy Jewels, Dottyspeck & More

July 15th, 2009

Picture 9Fancy on second avenue in downtown Seattle has the corner market on playful dedication to the whimsical and cute. Owned and operated by Sally Brock, who has been designing jewelry since she was 13, the petite store carries the complete Fancy line (handmade in the USA by one lady with two hands), and fabulous local jewelry by independent artists.

Brock is the only woman I know who could write “Custom orders are available -any piece you see can be re-made just the way you like it, unless you’ve got bad taste, or maybe if you want your ring made of bacon and titanium.” and bring a smile to your face. Maybe it’s Leroy the labradoodle but we suspect it’s Sally’s charm.

The above images are from new batch of work from Seattle’s own- Dottyspeck (named after Pee-Wee Herman movies of course) in all sterling silver. Use your City Stimulus card on these, or other purchases, and receive 10% off, including custom orders & free gift with any purchase over $200.
