About Owner, Stacey and Stan Friant
Stacey Friant originally started at Ken Walker Jewelers in 2002, first as a Sales Associate, then Store Manager, and now, as Owner of the store. Along with her husband, Stan, Stacey is committed to keeping this strong local business thriving and growing for years to come. Stan, who comes from a family of small business owners, can often be found at the store, offering help and support.
Ken Walker Jewelers is known for outstanding service, an impressive selection of engagement/wedding rings and fine jewelry, creative custom design, and masterful in-house repair, all offered at fair prices. There are some changes in the works with Stacey and Stan as the new owners. The couple is headed to Antwerp, Belgium, to begin hand-selecting diamonds and offering customers an even better diamond shopping experience. They are also planning an increase in in-store events to bring more excitement to this Gig Harbor landmark.
Stacey says that her favorite part of working in the jewelry industry is creating custom designs. “I love bringing our guests’ visions to life. From doodle to sketch to wax to masterpiece. It’s the most satisfying part of the job!”
When Stacey and Stan are not working, they can be found interacting with their four children who range in age from their teens to twenties. As a family, they love camping, paintballing, and spending time outdoors.
