Services
Since opening the doors of K. Alan Smith Gem & Jewelry Salon in 2004, Kim has been crafting and selling innovative, fresh, and meaningful jewelry in the heart of downtown Seattle and now in Kirkland. Kim began his career in the 1960s by tagging along to his father's jewelry store in Spokane. Although he spent most of his time sweeping floors and polishing silver, it was great fun and made a permanent impression.
K. Alan Smith's philosophy is one of placing great importance in the area of service, being performed with great care and respect at a fair price. We employ the finest of craftsmen, artists, and technicians to provide the best of service. From watch battery replacement to the service of high caliber fine timepieces, we provide efficient service and coordinate with many manufacturers.
In 2004 when I opened K. Alan Smith Jeweler, some said to me, How on earth will you get customers to come into your store? Why not locate your store street level or in a mall? Things in retail were starting to change at that time. The industry was becoming more about the "the product" and "their brand" and less about their actual clients.
My business's strength couples the privacy, comfort, and individual attention I provide my clients with high-quality jewelry at fair prices. Jewelry is personal. So is my approach. Whether you're in search of a fine quality diamond, rare gemstone, unique timepiece, wedding jewelry, or innovative custom jewelry design, I invite you to visit my salon.

Kim's work is absolutely flawless. He provides the highest level of one on one service that's incredibly hard to find these days. He gives so much attention to detail in his work and no matter what the piece is, the quality of his work stands out in a room. For those new to jewelry design or selection, Kim is the expert and will guide you candidly in making really sound decisions to get the most value out of your money.

Kim provided a wonderful experience. I would leave 6 stars if I could. I have high expectations and Kim hit all the marks. Not only was the experience a great one, but the quality of the work was flawless. Kim tailors each experience to the individual and I know I will be a repeat customer in the future. The high quality work speaks for itself. Thank you Kim!

K Alan Smith is who you want to deal with in anything jewelry. He is so professional, knowledgeable, a great communicator and easy to work with. When I was getting ready to propose to my now wife he helped us design a custom engagement ring that had the "WOW" factor for us. He took care of our every need along the way and never left us in the dark about a single thing. My wife loved his services so much that she got my simple, yet elegant wedding band from him too. I will only buy from my trusted Jeweler, K Alan Smith.

We have known Kim for 20 years and have been happy clients of his since 2004. He is scrupulously honest and extremely knowledgeable and professional, making him ideally suited to this business. He is also a wonderfully talented designer, and if that's not enough, you couldn't find a nicer guy! We always enjoy visiting his salon.

Never disappointed. I gave him total control on a couple of loose opals for a necklace and they are different and beautiful. Also he did the same with earrings. Very flexible. Great vision. He is one of the nicest no pressure individual. He is professional and trustworthy.

I highly recommend this business.5+ stars. I recently lost one of the diamonds in my wedding ring. I was very concerned that I could get that replaced. K. Alan Smith was able to replace it and my ring was restored to its original beauty, all at a fair price. I am thrilled with the outcome. Exceptionally nice and professional service!

Working with K has been nothing but an amazing experience for me. Between helping me plan how to create the perfect engagement ring and wedding band to always being available for any on going adjustments, I've always felt comfortable, well informed and completely satisfied with his work. If you have any doubts, meet with him and it will become abundantly clear how awesome his work is.

I was referred to K Alan Smith by my insurance agent for a jewelry appraisal. I found him to be very knowledgable, hard working and efficient. I then turned to him for some repairs, which were done with excellent craftsmanship at a reasonable price. Finally he purchased and set some stones for me, and I love these pieces! So, I would highly recommend his knowledge for appraisals and his craftsmanship and discerning eye for jewelry creations and repairs.

Kim was very helpful in evaluating family estate jewelry for us and also in restoring one piece. His knowledge, pleasant demeanor and patience were in evidence on all occasions. I learned a lot through working with him about the history of the jewelry pieces he evaluated. Truly a pleasure to work with and now my "go to" jeweler. I think he really likes his customers and considers them friends!

I can't say enough about the wonderful service and thoughtfulness that my husband and I have received from Kim Smith at K Alan Smith. Our first business interaction was to have some appraisals made on a few pieces of family heirloom jewelry. Kim was efficient and had the appraisals completed in a very timely manner. Subsequently I had Kim help me redesign my wedding ring when I received a diamond upgrade.

Even though the diamond was not purchased from Kim, he gave me excellent service from the start. Kim really listened to what I wanted, not trying to push any style opinion on me that he may have had, but rather worked with me to find out what I would be most comfortable wearing. It turned out amazingly beautiful. My husband has since purchased a few unique pieces for me, which I absolutely love. Kim carries a variety of estate pieces, as well as more modern looks.

He also is the 'go to' man if you are looking for a watch. He found a beautiful previously loved Breitling for me to give to my husband for his 60th birthday. My husband loves it. For a personal, professional jeweler, and no hard sell, just care and great service, Kim Smith is our choice.

Kim at K Alan Smith provides the ultimate personal experience when it comes to finding the perfect piece of jewelry. The engagement ring he made for my wife was both unique and classic. Kim makes you feel like your experience is special and he truly cares when it comes to helping you find/create something you will love.

I can't take credit for finding Kim's secluded 14th floor treasure trove high above the commotion of downtown Seattle. My husband did. Aside from being highly skilled & experienced, Kim truly is a consummate kind and earnest professional. He has always provided me and my husband with undivided care and attention--helping us design each other's wedding bands (and my engagement ring) with a sincere appreciation for our vision and budget. When it comes to making big decisions around big purchases, I can't think of a better human to guide you through it than Kim.

I have known Kim for many years, and have had the pleasure of working with him on several projects. He is extremely knowledgeable in the fields of jewelry, watches, estate jewelry, gem stones, special gifts, and any other field that you might need from a personal jeweler. He is also a personable, professional, and fun person to work with. Kim gets my highest recommendation!

I loved going here when I lived in Washington. A close friend took me once and I was hooked. They made the most amazing custom ring for me and a few years later made a band to match. I can't possibly say how much I appreciate the time an attention they put in and how I wouldn't change a thing.
