My husband and I have had an amazing experience with the Malka team during every single visit/interaction! He first reached out for my engagement ring and ultimately designed and purchased my surprise ring there because of the extent of customization available, wonderful customer service, patience with gem selection, and beautiful space. He worked with David, who continued to be great to work with when we returned months later. Later on, when we were deciding on our wedding bands, we returned to Malka because of the above-mentioned reasons. I worked with Chloe, who was incredibly helpful with designing my husband's wedding band, my wedding band, and my wedding-day earrings, which all turned out even better than we had envisioned even on a short time frame. The team is adept at creative problem-solving, quick to execute on your vision, and very knowledgeable on custom jewelry! We've found lifelong jewelers! Thank you, Malka team, for jewelry we look forward to cherishing forever!

I am so unbelievably happy with David, Ronnie, and all the Malka team. They did an absolutely impeccable job, after struggling to choose between the many beautiful pieces they have there, I decided to have a custom engagement ring made. With the help of the wonderful team, I was able to show the different aspect of the different rings I loved, and they perfectly crafted what can only be described as a dream come true masterpiece. I know Malka will be our go to for all our jewelry needs past, present, and future! Thank you so much David, Ronnie, and team for all your help.

I'm sad about the experience at Malka. My partner & I really wanted to work with a Portland jeweler because this is the city we met in and the rings and practices were marketed as representing our values. We scheduled a virtual appointment (we no longer live in the city) where we shared with the salesperson our budget, ring styles we liked, and stones. She confirmed an appointment for 2 weeks out when we would be in town and would have stones ready for us to look at.We flew to Portland for the appointment two weeks later. It was clear the minute we walked that there was never an appointment made for us. We were greeted with "and who are you?" (no hello, etc.) The person that we had our virtual appointment with didn't initially remember us and to our surprise didn't have anything prepared for our visit. We had to re-tell her all of our desires for the ring and started from square one. There were no stones for us to look at because she "couldn't get them in in time".We looked at a stone online with her and got it ordered at a different jeweler in less than 48 hours. It was definitely possible to order it within 2 weeks. I'm guessing that we were not within their desired price range (though that's not what I see online) and I wish she had simply said that in the initial virtual session.Malka makes beautiful rings and I know I'll get a response saying "you can see that is not the experience of our customers in our other reviews", but something was off for us, unfortunately.

The Malka team is truly the best in the business. My partner and I are both trans nonbinary, and we had the best experience building our custom rings with Chloe. We will definitely be getting any future jewelry from them as well. Thank you for making the process so special, Malka team!

Malka Diamonds was so easy to work with from the start. I'm in WA state & was going to be visiting Portland. I set up an appointment & was given all of the personal time I needed to look at the ring I loved from the website. She also took my engagement ring (purchased elsewhere) to fix a few things & resized it for a very reasonable price. I had all of my rings shipped back to me in less than a week looking like new! Would be happy to make the trip back down here for purchases in the future!

Ok before i go into details. If you're looking for a jeweler to go to, go to Malka. Don't bother looking elsewhere.The details: When it was time to go ring shopping I was overwhelmed with the options. I had visited three other shops, two were chain brands (they were lovely but the quality was lacking), the other place was a locally owned store and was too pricey. At Malka EVERYONE was so friendly, worked with Claire. She's an actual gem! Other members of the team were also friendly and warm. Claire allowed me time to go through the different styles and was so patient and encouraging, (I was so indecisive ). She listened to my style preferences and budget goals and I didn't feel out of place. The diamond selection went seamlessly. Also got our wedding bands there. I wasn't a ring person before this but I am so in LOVE with my rings.They also have great customer service with repairs and cleaning. And their ring selection is stunning a great balance of classic styles, classic with a twist and unique styles for the bold folks. Thanks Malka for being part of our love journey!

We chose to use Malka Diamonds to create a custom engagement ring based on a vision my partner had.Ronnie was engaging and professional, she walked us through many different displays to find the perfect cut and size.The team presented a physical model of the ring within just a few weeks which allowed us to see how the stones would sit, and approve the final design. This went a long way to help us feel confident that the design would embody the vision we had.The product was a unique and beautiful ring that highlighted their craftsmanship and quality, delivered on time without any surprises.We are very happy with the ring and would use Malka for future projects!

I cannot recommend Malka highly enough! Incredibly professional business and great communication throughout the process. I came to Malka after having a traumatic experience with another jeweler who remade my custom wedding set that did not meet my expectations. Chloe took my inspiration, the existing rings and diamonds and made magic happen! And all in less than 3 months! They offered a CAD rendering, and multiple casts before I received my new set! I can't stop looking down at my rings, after years of not having a wedding set its a dream come true. Thank you so much Chloe + Malka!

I took an heirloom ring to a national chain to have the setting looked at because the diamond was loose. I was told they would not work on it, not clear why? Googled local jewelers and read the reviews for Malka. I took the ring in and spoke with David. He suggested a new setting and showed me several options. I got a quote a few days later and the ring was completed when promised. They also included an appraisal. I love the setting! This could not have been easier and they really know their business. Highly recommend!

I purchased my engagement ring, wedding band, and fiancés wedding band from Malka. I could not recommend them more. They are so accommodating and such a wonderful team to work with. I am IN LOVE with the rings and they do amazing work. I had to get my ring resized a few times, and they were so quick and helpful. The quality is outstanding and it’s such peace of mind to know that they will be there if any resizing, cleanings, etc are needed in the future.I will be coming back to see about purchasing other jewelry in the future. I can’t wait to visit and buy from them again!

Working with Ronnie and David at Malka Diamonds was such an amazing experience. It all started with submitting an online inquiry through their site and would have never expected to receive a reply directly from the owner! I’ve purchased through other “big box” stores, and the level of attentive service and communication I received with Malka was unparalleled. My wife loved her anniversary gift and I’m so happy I found Malka Diamonds. Highly recommend!

I worked with both Ronnie and David when shopping for an engagement ring and I would highly recommend going to Malka. I had non-traditional requirements for my ring and one of the reasons I went with them was because they were able to custom make the piece. Overall the process was smooth, the communication was great, and I was really happy with the result!

My husband and I got our wedding rings here and had such a great experience that we decided to get all our wedding jewelry here. They were able to work with us to make custom designs so we could each have something unique and special to have forever. Would definitely recommend Malka to friends and family!

I designed a custom engagement ring with David and Chloe at Malka, and I'd recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone looking to do something similar. They were very personable, clearly knowledgeable about their craft, and got the design made in a very time-efficient manner. Very happy with the finished ring

My partner and I have had three wonderful experiences with the lovely Malka team.When we decided to get engaged, we were able to make an appointment with Chloe to decide on an engagement ring. She was so helpful through the whole process, and took her time to really listen and understand what we were looking for. She helped us understand what all of our options were, determine what was most important to us when it came to design, and helped us understand the intricacies of the gems and stones, and was mindful with our budget. After listening to what we wanted most, she went out of her way to find the most perfect diamond for the ring!A year later we came back for my partner’s wedding band. This time we worked worked with Claire who was kind as can be. Turns out there’s more to men’s bands than we realized and she led us the whole way. Since we had extra time, Claire took the time to show me some (actually, ALL) of the wedding bands in the case and was more patient than a saint while I tried them on and helped me figure out what direction I wanted to go in.After some deliberating I went back to Claire again to instead design a custom wedding band for myself. She made the designing process so easy and fun, and the end result was truly better than I ever could have dreamed of.We are so, so thrilled to have worked with Malka throughout the process of getting our engagement ring and wedding bands, and can’t wait to go back for other gorgeous jewelry later on! Everything they make is beyond beautiful, as is their store, and their people.We love supporting a local and family-run business and could not have had better experiences! Thank you <3
