I bought a vintage engagement ring here. The staff were really helpful. My partner loved the ring and multiple women have asked her where I got it.

It can be daunting buying fine jewelry online but this is my third purchase from Oko and each time has been great. I really appreciate how they balance the detailed accuracy of their listings with beautiful descriptions that really capture the spirit of the pieces. I haven’t had any real issues but every interaction I’ve had with their customer service has been responsive and friendly.

Oko is the most lovely place.I have bought two rings from them—who doesn’t need a gift… or 2… for themselves!?—and they are so utterly beautiful. I never take them off and never plan to.Those working in the store (including the owner) clearly care so deeply about what they do. They understand jewelry and listen to what you have to say. They make you feel like a friend immediately.The first ring I bought I came in to try on two times before deciding to splurge and each time they were so sweet and patient and not sales-y at all. Their ring sizer (which I needed for both rings) did an amazing job as well for such a reasonable price.At some point I told them I wanted a ring with a snake one day, not thinking anything of it. A few weeks later they texted me with a picture of a new snake ring they’d gotten in, which took me by such sweet surprise.They’re truly the best people with the most unique and special collection of beautiful and stunning jewelry. And I should have written this review a year ago.

I’ve admired this shop’s selection for years but made my first purchase today after losing my wedding ring a while ago. They were incredibly warm, patient and helpful. I wanted a wedding band that was durable, low maintenance, and would go with everything, but that was also exciting and balanced boldness with delicacy. They seemed to almost read my mind and show me the perfect ring right away, but kindly entertained me looking all around the shop until I was ready to commit. This place is an absolute joy to visit.

I have purchased from Oko a few times now, and each piece is so incredibly special to me. I have immediately put on each item and have never taken them off. Oko offers a truly incredible curation of vintage and antique jewelry. It is a pleasure just to browse on their site! Thank you Oko!

i do not recommend taking any jewelry repairs to this store. i described in detail what i wanted with a necklace (which they repeated back to me and confirmed that this would be fine, not a problem). they then chose to do it a different way from what i had described to them. this changed the entire look of the piece such that i knew i would never wear the necklace.they never checked in with me before these new and unapproved changes were made. not only that, they refused to admit their mistake, blamed me for my request not “making sense” and tried to charge me additional money to fix it. i had to argue quite a bit for them to finally waive the additional fee that they were charging me due to their mistake.yikes! definitely not a customer service experience.

I had about 3,500 to spend on wedding bands so i decided to give this shop a peruse. Everyone said this store had gems like the one in the titanic, so i moseyed on down. That's when i saw that they are pro bandits in the store! I moved here from texas, where i once had a harrowing experience in a pawn shop. I wasn't engaged yet so i was just there looking at beer coolers, but before i knew it, a bandit had walked in, pulled out his rifle, stared down the barrel and aimed it right at the jewelry case. I had had a shock that had not come back to my mind again until the moment i stepped foot at OKO. It is quite triggering for me knowing they REQUIRE people to disguise themselves especially after they were robbed recently. My daddy always said, put your money where your mouth is, and i don't hide my mouth because i ain't no bandit, sister.

Very nice and thoughtful collection. Everyone who works there was extremely kind, genuinely caring and very helpful. I have visited two times, and I was delighted with both experiences. I will be back again.

Thank you to Lisa for creating a relaxed atmosphere and a laid-back sales approach! As totally clueless jewelry shoppers, my fiancé and I were pleased (and so relived) when Lisa patiently answered our questions, educated us a bit on the wonders of old jewelry making techniques, and had a nice sense of humor. Rather than making endless uneducated suggestions, she let us browse on our own.... she stopped us only once to show us a piece she'd just gotten in... which turned out to be exactly what we didn't know we were looking for! We're now the happy owners of a stellar vintage ring from this little local shop.If you need a less In-Your-Face Jewelry Shopping Experience and just want a place to quietly hear what your heart has to say about a special piece of jewelry, please check out Oko, you won't regret it!

I recently purchased an engagement ring from Oko. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and overall it was a very pleasant experience! They recommended a person to resize, who was also a pleasure to work with. Highly, highly recommend Oko ?

It only took one pass through of the shop for me to become a fan of this shop! Lisa does a fantastic job of finding and curating a tantalizing and revolving style of vintage/modern/eclectic jewelry. If you love moonstones and emeralds, this place is special. I've purchased one of both from Oko, both rings, which I love and wear all the time. For anyone who loves truly unique pieces with a laid-back feel, this shop is for you!

I could not love this jewel box of a store more. The owner, Lisa, has the most exquisite taste in jewelry. If your looking for a special gift, something for yourself or engagement jewelry, this is one of the finest places to shop in Portland! Plus, the staff is absolutely delightful!

Jewelry Heaven!! The most unique selection of vintage jewelry in a luscious, dreamy atmosphere. (Seriously, can this place pleeease turn into a speakeasy by night?! So gorgeous!)

At OKO, the owner's passion for extremely unique antique jewelry is so palpable and her attention to details makes for a truly immersive jewelry shopping experience. The staff is kind, helpful, knowledgable, and in no way pushy. As a jewelry retail worker myself, I never hesitate to send couples looking for unique engagement or wedding bands to OKO... or, really anyone, for that matter. They are truly a special destination in Portland.

The Italian cornicello & cornuto gold charm necklace that I wear every day I purchased from OKO. Truly a place of rare treasures that has something for everyone. If you are looking for unique, high quality vintage jewelry, put this place on your list!
