I ordered a men’s wedding ring from Aide-mémoire in the spring and couldn’t be happier with my purchase. My wife and I went into the shop beforehand to discuss ring options, and the staff was very informative and easy to work with. There was no pressure to buy anything and they were more than happy to let us think more about the ring options before we purchased. We love how eco-friendly their products are while also being affordable and high-quality. 10/10 recommend this place to others!

Fantastic customer service and high quality jewelry. My never ending questions were answered quickly and politely with great feedback and suggestions. Aide-Memoire's jewelry is beautifully designed, from simple and classic to customized and unique. I'm thrilled to support a small business that focuses on recycled and ethical jewelry.

The folks at Aide Memoire helped my fiance and I select the perfect wedding bands (even over video, during quarantine!). They really know their craft and not only offer several great styles but are also open to custom work with many different metals, stones, etc. The price point is extremely reasonable for the quality of work as well. Highly recommend!

My partner and I love supporting local artists, because they tend to care more about fair-trade and sustainable products. We came across Aide-memoire after doing some research for wedding ring options in Seattle, and were sold when we read about Aran's commitment to ethical jewelry. This was truly a fabulous experience from beginning to end, and we couldn't be happier with the rings that we have now. Even though I opted for a more simple engagement ring and wedding band, I was so thankful for the amount of options there were to pick from!

We were delighted to have Aide-mémoire Jewelry craft our wedding rings and to support this woman-owned business. We made two visits to their shop in Seattle, during which they worked with us to discern the type of metal and style of ring design that would be best for each of us. The results were just what we had hoped for. We’re proud to wear our wedding rings every day!

Aran’s designs are like no other. my husband lost his first band & we spent months looking for the right replacement. Finally we found Aide Memoire and we ordered my husband’s ring, an Ancient textured band, after a consult in their adorable studio in Wallingford. He couldn’t be happier with the ring. It fits to perfection and looks custom, but with an affordable price tag. The whole process was so intimate and each interaction handled with care and attention to detail. We will definitely work with her on future jewelry purchases and couldn’t recommend the experience and product highly enough. Thanks Aran!

We decided we wanted locally, ethically made rings at a reasonable price. I was enamored with their website, and the pieces were even more alluring in person. Every interaction, they were courteous and responsive. The physical business is inconspicuous and somewhat difficult to find. We asked a neighboring business and they didn't even know there was a jewelry maker nearby! My husband and I both have simple, rose gold wood-textured wedding rings. They are beautiful, comfortable, durable, and - above all - unique. I feel they truly capture our story. I've told my husband that I want any future jewelry to come from Aide Memoire!

We are are so pleased with the wedding band we purchased and, just as importantly, the process of purchasing it. My fiance chose the wood textured wedding band, which is unique and stunning! Alaina was great to work with and we love knowing the ring was handmade by Aran. Their company philosophy aligns with our values, which made us feel even more confident in the purchase. The process took less time than was quoted and we were very pleased with that, too. Thank you for a great ring-purchasing experience! We highly recommend this business!

Earlier this year my partner and I started doing on research on engagement rings and after doing lots of looking around Aide Memoire really stood out to us. We met with Alaina in the spring and did not really know what to expect since neither of us has purchased jewelry before. When we arrived at the shop, it was cozy and tucked in a small building. Alaina let us into a bright and well-decorated room and offered us some chocolate peanut butter cups. Throughout our appointment, she was friendly, knowledgeable and kind. We had a truly wonderful experience and ended up with a ring that not only fits my style and what I had been hoping for but was in our budget, is woman owned, environmentally and socially conscious and the ring constantly gets compliments! We cannot wait to go back to get our wedding bands made early next year. If you are looking for a personal and local experience when you are ring or other jewelry shopping, this is your spot.

We discovered Aide-Memoire after looking for a local jewelry maker in Seattle, where my partner is from. We were immediately smitten with the beautiful designs they had, and knew we had to drop in to see if they were just as gorgeous in real life. From the moment we arrived at the shop we felt so special and taken care of. Alaina was super helpful and let us try on so many different rings and styles until we could find the perfect fit for us both. She graciously answered our many questions over email and ensured that we were getting exactly what we wanted. When the rings arrived in the mail, we were completely smitten! We are over the moon with our rings and love them both so much. They're unique and classic at the same time, and uphold all the values we hold dear when shopping for jewelry (eco-friendly, conflict-free, etc.). Most importantly, they are stunningly beautiful! If you're looking for wedding rings and are in Seattle to try some on, make sure you check out Aide-Memoire.
