Growing up cleaning display cases and wrapping presents in her family’s jewelry store. Pave’ Jewelry & Design Studio’s owner Janey Dodge knew she had a passion for the jewelry industry. However, when she dreamed of one day opening her own store she had something a little different in mind. With a fresh perspective on the jewelry industry, Janey is excited to present a jewelry store that is a little more relaxed than most without compromising quality or the high standards she holds for her business. Lost are the days of the intimidating, bland independent jeweler. With an on-site goldsmith and connections to some of the Northwest’s finest talent in the industry she hopes Pave’ will be known for their exceptional custom designs. Pave’ also features local jewelry designers and artists work in store. Whether you need a watch battery, to restyle your family jewelry or an engagement ring to celebrate your love for one another Pave’ is a full service jewelry store that is here to help.

Pave’ invites you to join their Grand Opening Festivities Thursday, June 6th beginning at 4:30pm. Find us on Facebook for more details.
