History
Federal Way Custom Jewelers has served the people of South King
County from the community of Federal Way, Washington for over two
generations. The store was opened in 1955, and it remains today the
oldest continuously operating jewelry store in the region. It began
as one of the original complement of businesses included in the
Federal Way Shopping Center.
This was the first shopping center
/ mall in Federal Way, and was quite innovative for its time, with
multiple buildings, and each of the 50 merchant spaces named for one
of the states. The shopping center, located on Pacific Highway South
(then known as Federal Highway 99, which became the city's
namesake), featured many historic log buildings from pioneer days.
There was also an Olde World Square, which was constructed with the
guidance of European craftsmen, an indoor amusement center known as
Toray, as well as a passenger train, which encircled the property,
among other attractions.
The shopping center was considered
visionary for its time, but eventually, as explosive growth and
inevitable progress came to Federal Way, it was slated for
redevelopment as a new shopping center. It was at this time, exactly
40 years later, in 1995, that our store was relocated to its
beautiful and more spacious current Federal Way location in Sea-Tac
Village, across from Sea-Tac Mall, where we continue to serve the
wishes and desires of our many wonderful customers.
Rene Criss, owner and
custom jewelry designer, and his wife and business partner, Lorraine
Meckley-Criss (seen here), delight in seeing a piece of jewelry go
from concept to precious reality.
