An interior renovation of nearly 6,000 square feet of space for Jewelry Design Center’s new Kennewick location is now complete, and the store is open to the public. It is easily recognizable by a large, spinning diamond perched atop the building.
This is the second location for the family-owned business that was founded by Doug Toone in 1977 in Spokane.
The new full-service jewelry store in Kennewick includes a showroom with glass-encased workshop studio. The jewelers’ benches are equipped with magnified cameras to broadcast their work to TV screens on the showroom floor. Large screens show renderings and custom design processes. Through large glass windows, customers can watch as jewelry is being worked on. State-of-the art lasers and growing machines are in full view and combine with old world jewelry techniques. A 50,000-lb. walk-in diamond vault is exposed and accented by beautiful rock work.
Baker Construction and Development Inc. was the general contractor and designer of the renovated space; Zach Bull is the project manager.
Owner Brian Toone said Jewelry Design Center involves its customers in the design process from start to finish, and as a manufacturer, the company is able to offer better quality, service and value than a traditional retail jeweler.
