Who We Are

Who we areWe built our company, the same way we build our jewelry; from scratch. Portsche's Fine Jewelry was founded in 2011 and thanks to our many loyal customers, we have been growing steadily ever since. Good old-fashioned honesty, integrity, and the highest quality craftsmanship are the fuel behind the force and the reason we are rapidly becoming one of the most sought after custom design stores in the Northwest. Phillip Portsche: Owner / Master Goldsmith / Jewelry Designer / AJP Certified As a retail jeweler specializing in design and custom manufacturing, Philip has almost 20 years of experience on the bench, classically trained in the art of jewelry making.

Not one to "color in the lines" he is an artist and technician who strives to create finished pieces that are greater than the sum of their parts. He works collaboratively with his clients, creating art that expresses their individuality and interpreting his client's desires into stunning custom jewelry that will be enjoyed for generations to come. Designing and creating custom jewelry is not only his specialty, but his passion. Nick Jones: Custom Designer/Goldsmith/Jewelry Repair Technician
