We provide a counter-weight to the world of negative news cycles, internet trolls, and daily stresses. Our goal is to offer superior customer service, and also to provide that service with a friendly, helpful attitude that leaves you feeling good. ** Admittedly in 2020, it's a little tougher to keep -- and share! -- that attitude, with our phones not working due to our recent move combined with the local phone company's COVID-related short-staffing. custom basketball shoes kyrie 5 **

It doesn't matter whether you are starting out on your first jewelry project or whether you're a professional artist who's been honing your craft for years ... sometimes, questions arise. We train our staff in the use of our products so they can better help your fulfill your artistic dreams.  ** 2020 update: Although our phones are currently not open, we are happy to help you via email!

Our founder, Russ Nobbs, knew that the jewelry industry hasn't always been the friendliest industry to Mother Earth. As a result, Rings & Things does what it can to tread lightly on the planet. Efforts have included an extensive recycling program, incentives for employees to use commute alternatives, the use of eco-friendly corn-starch packing peanuts, and downsizing our footprint, to use less resources. Currently, we also donate a portion of the sales of all Bee-related jewelry items to the Pollinator Partnership, and Leaf, Tree and Earth-related jewelry-making supplies to Conservation International.

As the internet progresses, so do we. Our goal is to achieve and maintain high standards in web design, site speed, and usability. We want you to feel secure and comfortable navigating our store and educational materials. Not only that, we want you to have fun. Admittedly, sometimes with technology and security upgrades, we lose a bit of the fun, but we're always striving to bring the fun back into our website and daily working, while keeping your data secure.

We live each day not in isolation, but within the communities around us - both our local community, and the worldwide community. At the local level, Rings & Things has actively donated to food banks, community radio, and other grassroots efforts that improve our hometown of Spokane, Washington. In the worldwide community of crafts and jewelry makers, we donate products to a number of organizations and charities.

From our humble burgh in the Northwestern U.S.A., we have a global vision to share our spirit of superior service around the world. We've always offered reliable worldwide shipping, and we're ready to serve customers no matter where you live.

Rings & Things' founder Russ Nobbs started his jewelry career in the 1960's selling handmade wire name pins and beaded wire earrings at state fairs, first at the 1964 World's Fair in NYC, and then at state fairs throughout Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and Washington. In 1972, after several years on the fair circuit, he opened a tiny retail jewelry store in Spokane, Washington. Over the years, the store's earrings were joined by turquoise rings, ethnic & hand-crafted sterling silver jewelry, beads ... and a whole lot more.

When the original store's location was torn down to build a bank, Rings & Things moved to a nearby downtown shopping mall where the retail store expanded to include a small mail-order business. Our original 19-page catalog grew over the years to become a 750-page print catalog. Now, instead of a print catalog, our thousands of items are available 24/7 in our online store.

In 2000, we closed our downtown mall store to focus on growing mail-order and online business -- Rings & Things had become a jewelry supply resource for the nation and the world! When we outgrew our downtown mail-order digs, we moved to our own warehouse in 2005 (and then a new single-story warehouse in 2020, with better parking). In our current home, we're ready as ever to help you with your jewelry-making needs! Our Spokane Showroom features thousands of items on display and holds regular demos and hands-on workshops.  

Rings & Things is now a second-generation family business. Founder Russ Nobbs passed the business on to his daughter and son in 2014, who are excited to continue the family tradition of excellent customer service, quality jewelry-making supplies, and stewardship of the earth.
