About Goldmine Design
We are not a "normal" jewelry store. When you walk into our store you will find yourself in a workshop surrounded by the tools and equipment used to make small metal things. The artisans of Goldmine Design are experts with over 60 years of combined experience in jewelry making who have made more than 14,000 pieces in precious metals—18k yellow/white gold, platinum, palladium and titanium.
Our philosophy has always been to preserve the intimate experience of working one-on-one with our clients to create unique pieces. We invite friends and family to become involved by participating in our casting parties. For us, this is not a business,
it is our life. The joyous part of making fine jewelry is that it symbolizes new beginnings, important life events, or personal milestones.
These are the happiest moments in people's lives
and we love making special pieces
that become part of a family's history.
The genesis of Goldmine was John Winters, who started the business in 1972 and opened our current location, just south of historic Pike Place Market, in 1994. In 2007, Cindi Hansen took ownership from her longstanding partner, though he often pops in to visit with customers,
many of whom have been with us since those early days.
