I have many pieces of jewelry from Modern Life Designs. I have two gold rings set with sapphires that I have worn daily for over 20 years and they are just as beautiful as the day I purchased them. Doug puts a lot of gold into his jewelry so they are not flimsy like a lot of other jewelry. I have also worked with Doug and Kathy to make some custom pieces and they have done outstanding work. This shop is my «gold standard» for quality design, crafting and creativity. My only regret is that after I got divorced, I no longer can wear the beautiful wedding ring that they made for me.

My boyfriend and I came across this jeweller in passing, on our walk down Polk st. My boyfriend, having an obsession with skulls noticed the beautiful selection of silver skull rings in the window. Extremely rare and hard to find, as these were tastefully crafted and designed, not tacky and gothic. After entering the store, we felt as if we were walking right into the artists studio. Very amazing jewellery and sculptures everywhere, that are uniquely different, but tasteful and definitely there is something for everyone there, from edgy statement pieces to subtle witty pieces. Douglas Brett was super helpful, and even sized the ring we bought within an hour. From a picky Canadian couple, Awesome awesome awesome!!!

When one first enters this one-of-a-kind, magical bronze and fine jewelry art gallery, you’re immediately struck by both the incredibly prolific energy and prodigious, imaginative talents of Douglas Brett, a thoughtful, soft-spoken, gentle artist with an intuitive eye for fluid sculptural motifs and uniquely beautiful design. Ever playful at heart, he has created an entire bronze and silver oeuvre of fish and other whimsical, delightful forms and creatures from smooth hearts to round cows to nubby crocodiles that would look great on your nightstand or shelves. Looking for a special and memorable gift for the holidays? Visit this modest, unassuming storefront on Polk Street between Clay and Washington for a treasure trove of stunning, original bronze sculptures and lustrous jewelry.

The first review of Douglas Brett is so unfair and out of touch that I have to respond. My husband and I have been going to him off and on for over 15 years. While we may not like all of his designs, we have purchased a number of items that we really do like. Also, we have used his cleaning and repair services for our rings and he does an excellent job. Give him a break, ‘friendly’ neighbor!
