Robbins Brothers hosts holiday influencer event in Belltown

Robbins Brothers recently hosted an intimate influencer event to showcase holiday arrivals and introduce new store manager Molly Tyler to the style community. The evening included bubbles, light bites, and an overview of the Robbins Brothers brand. Guests in attendance included Haley Knox of Simply Darling Duo, Carlene Forbes of Queen Carlene, beauty blogger Caroline Case, and Youtuber Rachel Waldorf. Guests got to try on bling while sipping bubbly and learning more about how to pick the perfect diamond.

If you're in the engagement ring market and looking for a great company to work with definitely consider Robbins Brothers. They have stores in Belltown and Bellevue, and the customer service is excellent. Ask for Molly if you go to the Seattle store and tell her that Sydney sent you! Fun fact: my husband picked out my engagement and wedding rings from Robbins Brothers back in 2009. The entire team is great and the selection of high-quality diamonds is amazing. 

Robbins Brothers is located at 2200 1st Ave. in Belltown. Follow the Seattle store on Instagram @RbSeattleWa.
