Daniel Louis was the jeweler at Nordstrom’s flagship department store, located in Seattle. A jeweler for 47 years, he spent 17 of those years at Nordstrom, operating as Daniel Louis Jewelry Art.

His work was widely respected by both his clientele and peers for its creativity and design. At a time when mass production was gaining in popularity, Daniel Louis sought artistic freedom and the opportunity to experiment. He wanted to draw upon his own concepts rather than cater to manufacturing trends. Thus, a family legacy was born.
