David was wonderful to work with!! I first came in when purchasing a celebration ring last year and then returned when my partner and I were shopping for an engagement ring. We had a rough idea of what we wanted and budget, but didnt know much about selecting diamonds. David was happy to educate us and never pressured us on a purchase. He really went above and beyond to come up with options and ideas to help us stay within budget. We couldnt be happier with the experience of designing the ring and how it turned out!

Malka has become our go-to jeweler. We have had fantastic customer service experiences every time and theyve been able to make our visions a reality. They currently put a family stone in a necklace for us and helped with choosing and soldering my wedding bands to my engagement ring. Both turn out beautiful!

Have had a number of pieces made here, from my wifes engagement ring to some unique necklaces. David, Ronnie, and the whole team have always been great to work with, very welcoming and have created phenomenal pieces at very reasonable prices. Would highly recommend

Malka will be my forever jeweler! Chloe went above and beyond to create a very special piece to represent a difficult time in my life. She was supportive, kind, very collaborative, and her communication was amazing! I am so thrilled with my piece, and will cherish it forever!

I am a person that does not normally wear jewelry of any kind so I had some questions. When I emailed Malka, I wasn’t sure what to expect, since I wrote such a messy novel to them. When Ronnie emailed me back, she sounded so nice, and was incredibly patient with us. We set up a virtual meeting with Ronnie about customizing a ring for me, and she showed us stones within our budget. We were stuck between 2 GORGEOUS stones, so she sent a video of them being worn so we could see what they would look like in real life. Super helpful and if I decide to get a wedding band, I’m going straight back to Malka!! I loved this process and experience, thank you Ronnie!

Our experience with the Malka team was amazing! My fiancé worked with David to pick out an engagement ring and then the two of us met with David and Chloe a couple times to pick out our wedding bands. They made everything so easy and were a joy to work with. We are very thankful!

We had the good fortune to work with Ronnie, David, and Chloe over the course of several months. They helped us assess, repair, and reset many pieces from my grandparents jewelry estate and took great care of us. Now these pieces are living new life every day with people who love and appreciate them, instead of sitting in a dusty box under a pile of socks! Thanks team for bringing Bubby and Papoo a little closer to our hearts, and for honoring their gems and jewels with us.

Malka Diamonds was wonderful to work with in crafting a custom engagement ring. I was working with Ronnie directly through the whole process and she made sure it was everything I wanted. Her response to my communications was quick every time. After receiving the ring, I couldnt have been happier! It was better than imagined. Not only did I love it and my fiance loved it, everyone who sees it is impressed with what Malka Diamonds was able to create. Thank you Malka Diamonds!

My wife and I will only recommend one jeweler - and thats Malka Diamonds. When my Father-in-laws cancer diagnoses took a turn for the worse, David and his team stepped up to help us with purchasing wedding bands and resetting my wifes engagement ring, all within 48hrs. We are forever thankful for their professionalism and personal touch. Looking forward to visiting their new storefront.

I wanted to have a duplicate wedding band made for my moms 60th wedding anniversary as a present from my dad. David was able to make the ring in a short time frame and at a very reasonable price. He even offered to deliver it to me personally. Curbside service plus!When my dad gave the ring to my mom the moment was priceless!Service above and beyond for priceless moments. What more could a Jeweler provide?

Absolutely beautiful bridal collections. They really care about making sure you are happy, listen carefully and make accommodations for busy schedules. My lab grown diamond is gorgeous. I changed my mind on my ring design and Im incredibly happy with the end result. They are patient and they care. Highly highly recommend.

I am super impressed with Malka Diamonds & Jewelry! They treated us so great, especially considering that our first visit there was for an inexpensive diamond earring reset. I love my new earrings!They were also willing to polish, clean and check all of my best jewelry for free, since I had not been to a jeweler for this since moving here four years ago. The results were amazing. It was like a brand new jewelry collection when I picked everything up. We were treated as if we were buying an expensive heirloom at Malka. I wanted to find a jeweler similar to what I had in CO. True artisans that can create custom pieces onsite and are a local business (pretty rare). I look forward to the new shop coming in summer 2021, and putting together a new jewelry creation with them in the future. I am an older married lady, but if I was newly engaged, I would have them make my ring in a heartbeat.

So let me start off by saying that the reviews are what lead me to this store and let me tell you they didn’t let down! Chole (hope I spelled it right lol) was nothing short of amazing. Very knowledgeable and she took the time to answer any questions I may have had. She wasn’t pushy like most people would be in this type of sale environment I felt very welcome! Definitely 10/10 love this place!

My fiancé and I came to Malka to pick out my engagement ring. We were able to customize a ring using diamonds from rings that belonged to my family, which made it so special. They were so helpful for the whole process and I was thrilled with how my ring turned out! Because of the great service at Malka, we came back to get our wedding bands there. They had so many great options and we both were able to find bands that we loved.

Review №18

I had a 1930s vintage engagement ring that had been fixed one too many times and needed to be rebuilt. Chloe helped me identify what was original and what was not. We were able to design a basket that was more in keeping with the period and preserved the details I loved. My goal was to get a ring back that I liked as much as the one I gave them, but the one I received is even more beautiful. Thank you, Malka Diamonds, for your patience and attention to detail!

I can’t even begin to express the incredible quality of Malka Diamond’s custom work and how amazing Chloe is. I sat down with her almost 2 years ago and went over every detail of my dream ring, and he just proposed! it’s everything I dreamed of. Sleek, sophisticated, and just absolutely perfect. Chloe was completely understanding through a pandemic and tough financial times, and 100% made sure it still happened. I am eternally grateful and will never go to ANY other jeweler for the rest of our lives! ♥️

Im so grateful for Chloe and the team at Malka! Thank you for making our wedding bands so beautiful and unique. We had no idea what to expect from wedding band shopping and each band was so customizable we felt like we designed it ourselves.The whole experience was so swift and easy. Turn around time was incredible and the communication was seamless.My engagement ring was my hubbys grandmothers and it was a tad too small and very dirty from doing construction. Malka had it cleaned, buffed and resized and now I can wear it comfortably and feel like a classy MARRIED woman. THANK YOU so so much

What an awesome family-run jewelry store. David is an absolute expert (seriously, hes one of the few GIA gemologists in the NW). I came to Malka on a recommendation from a friend, looking to have my late nannas old diamond ring refashioned into an engagement ring. I didnt have the biggest budget, but Dave talked me through all of my options and never once tried to sell me anything I didnt want or couldnt afford. He designed a beautiful ring that used my nannas gold and small diamonds, and helped me pick the perfect center diamond for the ring. Daves whole approach was all about which diamond was best for me, NOT trying to sell me the most expensive diamond. He actually ended up recommending one of the less expensive diamonds because the cut and the color were the best match for this specific ring. There’s no pushy sales pitch at Malka, just lots of friendly, expert advice.My wife and I have since gotten engaged and married (this review is well overdue) and she is absolutely in love with the ring! It is clean and classic and holds so much sentimental value for both of us. I really cant describe how thankful I am to Dave and the whole staff for their help. We ended up coming back to buy both our wedding bands, and will come back to Malka for many years to come.

We took a family ring in to Malka to give it a more modern touch for an engagement ring. The end result was far better than expected. I knew nothing of what the process would look like. Chloe was amazing; taking the time to listen to design ideas, giving phenomenal feedback, and generally holding my hand through the process. Both families are ecstatic with the end result. The folks at Malka felt far more like supportive friends in my story than vendors.

My fiancé picked the PERFECT ring with help from the owners at Malka! We went back together today to check the ring size and look at wedding bands. He was so nice and laid back! I just love how relaxed he is. Not once we felt pressured to purchase anything. What a wonderful store and amazing owners!Update: seriously amazing business owners. We just picked up our wedding bands today. David even graciously offered to clean the engagement ring along with any other accessories I will be wearing prior to the wedding day! What a nice guy!!! 😊

I had a wonderful experience working with Ronnie at Malka Diamonds. I found Ronnie to be warm, friendly and approachable. I was looking for a simple way to update my 30 year old engagement ring and tie in an updated wedding band. Ronnie quickly suggested some creative and artful solutions that not only enhanced my simple (and sentimental) diamond, but helped to create an updated style that matched my personality and needs. I liked Ronnie’s approach and style. I wish I had done it years ago! I have something new created out of something older and it still has meaning, but is now fresh and fun!Thank you Ronnie and Malka!

Lovely store and the best customer service. I get many compliments on my ring, and always recommend Malka. I knew I wanted a custom ring and tried several other stores, but found what I wanted at Malka. David did a fantastic job helping design a beautiful custom setting for a family diamond, without trying to up sell me on the stone as other stores had done. Absolutely love this wonderful family business.

Ever since the moment we walked into Malka Diamonds, we’ve been treated as nothing less than gold. Chloe has been beyond accommodating, no matter what craziness life has thrown our way. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional and helped us not only create a dream ring, but helped see it to the end. I can’t express my gratitude enough and highly recommend Malka (& Chloe) to anyone looking for a personalized experience. We will be customers for life!

I have a very old chain that i wear everyday and it snapped in half. i called malka and they were responsive and so kind. unsure if they were going to be able to fix it based on where the chain had broken, they said that they would do their best and if it wasn’t repairable that they would be happy to help me find another one similar. lucky it was able to be repaired and done so perfectly plus in an incredibly timely manner. i would definitely recommend them for repairs. also i window shop there often and their selection of vintage jewelry is magnificent.

My family and I love working with Ronnie and David and visiting their store. They are easy to work with, give great but gentle suggestions and are honest. We trust them with our jewelry. They reset my mother’s wedding ring back to its original setting and it looks so beautiful!They also worked with our son to find him a new necklace that he really loved (which can be hard for a teenager 🤣).Thank you Ronnie and David!

Our experience with Malka Diamonds was wonderful. We were planning a trip up to their shop when COVID-19 happened, so were offered a virtual visit instead. I wasnt sure what to expect from this but it was a great experience. Ronnie took the time to answer all of our questions and was patient with us through the decision making process. We ended up with a custom made ring that was in our budget and exactly what we wanted. Will definitely be repeat customers! :)

The team at Malka diamonds made our engagement ring shopping enjoyable and luxurious! We went in with a ring in mind, and left with a custom design that exceeded expectations. Chloe showed us around the showroom, and then also listened with creative mindset to my customizations and executed the ring perfectly. I can’t recommend this business more. Thank you Malka!!

Review №32

When we talked about getting engaged, my dear friend suggested my now fiancé and I head to Malka, and I am SO GLAD we listened. I’ve never owned a ring of any kind and barely ever wear jewelry. I didn’t know if I even wanted an engagement ring, but I figured we’d try some on and see how they felt and look at wedding bands while we were there.We set up a time to sit down with Ronnie, who was incredibly flexible and responsive over email, and she was...I don’t know how to describe it. Magical. She made me feel so comfortable, and she adjusted our path with every little thing I said. She made suggestions but didn’t make us feel pressured in any way. She showed me a lot of different options, which was exactly what I needed to decide if I wanted an engagement ring. We wound up picking a stone, and she said she’d hold it for me and wrote down all the things we discussed so we could talk it over.We put the deposit down, and the ring was ready within the timeframe Ronnie described. When the proposal came and I saw the ring, it honestly took my breath away. I don’t know how Ronnie took the mixture of things I said in our appointment and turned it into a ring that feels like ME, but here we are. I could not be any happier with the outcome and with our experience along the way. I’m so grateful we found Ronnie and the Malka team, and I’ll treasure the ring forever!

Review №33

Ronnie and the team at Malka are the absolute best! My fiancé and I went to a few jewelry stores together so he (and I) could get some inspiration for my engagement ring. We were discouraged by the process of meeting overly pushy salespeople who didn’t concern themselves with trying to help us figure out what we wanted. That is of course, until we walked into Malka. We were greeted by Ronnie who was warm and welcoming, informative and honest. She not only listened to my back and forth about what I did and didn’t like about all different types of rings, but she used it to help my fiancé design my custom dream ring. We’ve now gone back for our wedding bands and the customer service was just as, if not better than the first time we walked through their doors. I will recommend Malka to anyone I know looking to buy or custom make jewelry and can honestly say from here on out they have our loyalty. Thank you again to Ronnie + Malka team!!

If youre looking for a quality jeweler with excellent service, Malka is the place to go. My husband had a great experience working with David to pick my engagement ring. I absolutely love it!

Malka Diamonds and Jewelry was fantastic!! My boyfriend and I looked at multiple jewelry stores looking for engagement rings and Malka was by far the best. Their selection and customer service was unmatched. I had an idea of the ring that I wanted but wasnt sure about the specifics. We worked mostly with Chloe, who was so helpful and friendly. She gave us plenty of options and was very responsive to my opinions. She was incredibly knowledgable and asked the perfect questions to find the exact ring that I was looking for. She was never pushy but gave us all of the options. We are so happy and satisfied with our experience at Malka and found the PERFECT engagement ring.

One of the many reasons that I love Malka Diamonds and Jewelry is that they are happy to help me indulge my fantasy of being a jewelry designer. What do I mean by that? I love jewelry and I especially love jewelry that I have helped design. So from a gold pendant that I had made 15 years ago, to a opal ring created in honor of my daughters birth, to most recently, my Grandmothers 3.3 kt diamond set in a simple and beautiful setting, all of the jewelry I have had made at Malka Diamonds has been meaningful to me and is worn with love. No piece was too small or insignificant (a necklace made out of my Grandmothers hatpin maybe?) for David and his staff to help me with. I cannot recommend them highly enough and I look forward to the next creation they help me with! Thanks for everything!

Super helpful staff that helped me purchase a ring for my dad. Didn’t know all the right terminology but they were very sweet and talked me through what I was looking for. Had to special order but it came 1 day earlier than expected and called me right away to pick it up. Of course I got the wrong size but they offered free resizing even though the ring was increasing by more than 2 sizes. Rare to see this kind of service any more. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending this jeweler.

Review №41

I really thought this was a classy place. With great people. I had the David look at a ring. He told me it was basically junk. Diamonds were signal cut and set in silver. He was wrong. Had it appraised it is a 6.6 ct Chrome Tourmaline. Full cut diamonds set in 18kt. As inexpensive as Amethyst is. I know now They change my real Amethyst for 300.00 for a synthetic one. I now have 0 trust in this company. I was sure he new what he was doing being the owner. Ill take the blame for the stone change. But I do no he could have put a real stone in for 300.00. Make me sad that they took advantage of me.Mary Black

I was so impressed with the people at Malka Diamonds! I didnt exactly know what I wanted in a wedding ring, but knew that I wanted a unique band without any diamonds. They created a ring for me based off of one I already liked and it was perfect! The engraving on the inside is beautiful and the ring is exactly what I wanted. They even managed to make the ring for me in only 2 weeks!! I would definitely recommend Malka to anyone looking for a wedding ring.

The team at Malka is very professional, I have a wedding ring from my mothers side of the family originally purchased in the 1850s but it was too small, not only did they adjust the band, but they polished it and cleaned it which I didnt even ask for. I also cant even tell a difference in the band. Two thumbs up and I will be back for all my jewelry needs.

Review №46

I’ve never written a review before but really disappointed in this experience. Went in twice trying to give them the benefit of the doubt too. As a newly engaged person shopping with my fiancé we had no clue where to start, it’s overwhelming and a big investment. Had the same woman twice and she was completely unhelpful, snobby and looked annoyed when I didn’t even have the vocabulary of what kind of ring I was shopping for. She just looked at me like she didn’t know what I was talking about instead of helping. Didn’t try to educate or consult or find options. Would not recommend for first time shoppers. Terrible experience.

I cant speak highly enough of Malka Diamonds. Dave, Tess, and the entire team have been such a pleasure to work with. They were not only professional and detail oriented but they also did a great job of communicating with us while our wedding rings were being created. They helped us find the perfect stone and were patient with us while we thought through such a big purchase. We would highly recommend them over online diamond dealers. There is something to be said for being able to see and compare diamonds in person!

Review №48

After visiting just about jewelry store downtown and out at the malls, I purchased an engagement ring from David at Malka Diamonds.At the chain stores, I was turned off by that feeling of marketing blitz and a sales push, as well as the followup calls. I was looking for something more meaningful than just plunking down a credit card and getting taken for a ride once again. She is going to be wearing this ring forever, hopefully, so that experience mattered to me more than it normally would.We decided on a vintage, 1930s ring. Malka has a good selection of classy old rings, and they are completely restored by their in-house jeweler. In addition to modern styles, they actually have new rings that are designed to look vintage... I think we looked at every ring in their cases. Actually, I think we looked at every ring in within the city limits.David is a gemologist. It was a down to earth, quality experience. There was no hawking over us, it was comfortable. My fiance even checked out the ring a second time at her lunch hour. It really was a great experience.

Malka is awesome. My husband got my engagement ring from them and I have taken it back a few times to have it cleaned and checked over. They always make sure to catch any loose stones and get it back to me looking like new each time. I also recently took a special bracelet there to have it fixed. I always trust Malka with my sentimental pieces. They are professionals, but the experience always feels personal. I am a loyal customer and couldnt recommend them enough!

I have a unique ring that I purchased in France about 4 years ago. Its silver and was showing wear. I wanted them to make an exact duplicate in white gold.

Working with David and Ronnie Malka was an amazing experience as they helped me find the necklace of my dreams, and they helped design the most beautiful and sentimental ring using my late mother’s emerald cut diamond.

Im a huge fan of Malka. I came here to see if they could help me make a custom engagement ring for my to-be wife. I worked with Tessa to make a ring my wife ended up loving. Tessa was gracious enough to work with me and all my design revisions and they even sourced a gem they dont normally carry. We also came back here for my wifes wedding band - they did a great job designing a band that paired great with the engagement ring.Also, David is awesome. He resized my ring (twice) that I didnt even buy from them, for free!All around great family business. Go here and support your local jewelry shop. Highly recommended.

Review №56

I wish I could give this shop 100 stars for the quality of work and level of service. I received a beautiful vintage engagement ring that my fiance got from his mother. The stones and band were beautiful, but the main stone was set way too high and needed a completely new head. This was a big job and I was terrified that I might not like the end result. I was foolish to worry because the ring looks better than I could have ever imagined. They are masters at what they do. I would recommend this shop to anyone who is shopping for a ring or is in need of someone to make some adjustments. They are hands down the best in town!

We were on our way to grab some lunch and passed Malkas BEAUTIFUL assortment of vintage rings. We decided to pop inside and look around for a little bit. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by the friendliest people! Tessa chatted with us and happily let us try on any ring we wanted. She even cleaned all of our rings and made them look so beautiful. Hands down the best jewelry store I have ever been into. If I was getting married, this would be the place I would buy my ring based on the selection of rings and the friendly service.

Review №58

TLDR: Dont come here. They pretty woman you until they find out how much you can afford and decide if you are worth it. Disgusting.I was absolutely disgusted with Malka Diamonds & Jewelry. My Fiance (former girlfriend) and I were excited to go look for engagement rings. We had gone to a few places and were nervous about the whole thing. Its a big deal in a relationship and life. We entered Malka (second place) of the day feeling more comfortable from going to another place before. When we entered the store, the woman at the front didnt even look up. We started to look into the cases and still no visit from the woman. She finally came up asking if she could help us with anything. No smile. just pure attitude. Like we did not belong. (Which funny enough we both madeit a point to dress nicely). When we told her the ring we thought my faince liked, she said they only had one to show (pear shape) and that it wasnt a popular choice. (Which is untrue according to the other various places we went to after). She then didnt give us a time of day as we asked various questions and if there was anything similar to the pear we would like. We had to dig to get answers from this lady. Fast forward a few minutes as we ask about prices by karat for a ring like a pear and when we told her our budget her tune completely changed. NIGHT AND DAY. She started asking for our information, bringing out more rings and saying she could get some brought in to show. It was disgusting. I will under no circumstance ever recommend Malka Diamonds.

Review №59

The customer service at Malka is great. The selection is great. There is no sales pressure at all, they only help you find the piece of jewelry that youre looking for. My wife was steered towards a less expensive ring as it better matched the style she described to them. We found Malka after visiting a larger friend in the diamond business, thinking that the latters selection or prices might be better. The experience at the larger store was off putting; you see someone at the front, you wait, you see a second person who hurriedly shows you as many rings as possible in a short amount of time all while trying to get you to commit a deposit, then you go to another room with cashiers. Malka is the complete opposite. One friendly person to greet you, direct you towards their available pieces, while offering helpful advice and letting you know there is no rush or need to decide on the spot. Its a pleasant, no pressure experience.

Love, Love, Love Malka!They were so great for my fiance and I all through the process, we both love our rings and Malka saved the day when our rings and everything was stolen the night before our wedding. (No I am not joking, I wish I was.) My now husband called David and told him what happened, David was able to re-create my band that day and came into the shop early to work on it so I would have it for our wedding that afternoon. We will buy all jewelry from there forever. Small super classy shop with great prices and beautiful work. Highly, highly recommend.

After getting engaged my fiancé and I took a family diamond to Malka Diamonds to have it reset. The diamond is from the 1920s so we were looking for a setting from the same time period. I researched many jewelers in Portland and settled on Malka because of their clean website and family history in Portland (also they have an amazing vintage diamond collection). The store is really cute and we were greeted by Chloe. After a brief conversation, Chloe walked away and returned with a box full of vintage settings; she immediately understood our vision. After picking my favorite vintage setting, I had my dream engagement ring a week later. The whole experience was so wonderful, the customer service was amazing and the prices were great. We love my ring and I cannot thank Malka enough for the awesome experience!

Review №66

I went to Malka without reading reviews. Initially I came to sell my beautiful Tacori wedding set that I had bought at a consignment shop impulsively earlier this year. It was uncomfortable because it had diamonds and decoration all around it. Ronnie was very helpful and suggested some different options. The ring had CZ as the main stone and after consulting with Ronnie I decided that I wanted a colored stone in it to make the set more for fashion rather than daily use. She said they could order a stone and also make the ring more comfortable to wear. The price quoted was very fair and they did exactly what they said they would in the time framed promised. When I bought the ring it was bent and a little big. I had asked another jeweler to size it and fix the bend but she said she could not fix the bend it was to difficult. Malka not only did the requested work beautifully, they also made the ring a lot straighter in the process. I will absolutely be back, hopefully very soon!

My fiancé and I had a very good experience picking out my lovely engagement ring at Malka. David and Ronnie (the owners) are very knowledgeable, accommodating, and friendly. Since we have no prior knowledge of diamonds and jewelry, we had a lot of questions and the owners patiently responded to all of them. I love the interior of the shop and the display of their stunning jewelry. They have a very nice selection of beautiful engagement rings and we found the perfect one that fit our budget and my style.

I went in there last winter. The guy in Malka Facebook profile picture (David) treated me like homeless probably because I was wearing a casual workout clothes. He seemed like he had no interest of selling his business. I went there with an intention of buying engagement ring because of my friends referral but I wasn’t happy with his approach. I ended going to blue nile in washing square for the engagement ring and wedding band.

My husband and I have been regular customers at Malka’s for several years and for good reason! David and his team are professionals that go above and beyond to make sure every detail is accounted for and my jewelry looks great and stands up to my heavy wear and tear. David’s warm smile and no pressure energy make shopping and just browsing a completely enjoyable experience. I highly recommend Malka’s for your jewelry buying and maintenance desires.

I have bought from Malka Diamonds on several occasions and they have exceeded my expectations every time. The customer service is outstanding and the quality of their jewelry is impeccable. This is the only place you should look to buy jewelry!

David made our engagement ring. We decided to go with him because of his personal approach. David gave us amazing attention. He was very patient with our requests and changes. He made my fiancé very comfortable. He did a wonderful job with our custom design. We will definitely be back!

I had an overall incredible experience with Malka Diamonds. After searching in what felt like every diamond store in Portland I found myself again and again in Malka. The people at Malka were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and fair. The selection in their store is great as well. Thanks for a great experience!

Dave helped me find the perfect diamond, and then build a unique ring from scratch. (And under budget!) I was able to provide design insight during the entire CAD, 3D printing, and final casting process. The final product is exactly what I had in mind: beautiful, elegant, one-of-a-kind.

I love Malka! My husband got my engagement ring and the wedding band here and they are beautiful and so perfect! I can come in anytime and get my ring cleaned. Recently I lost 3 diamonds and they did a professional job at fixing and upgrading my ring!

This company is the best! We had them custom design my wedding band (which was a fairly intricate design). I essentially gave them a napkin drawing, they made a few suggestions to improve the design and within a very reasonable timeframe they delivered back to me the most beautiful and perfect wedding band! To top it off, on a separate occasion, they took the time to fix my engagement ring, which was not even purchased through them. They fixed the prongs, straightened a couple of the diamonds that were set poorly and got it back to me within a week. I trust these guys 100% and could say more about the quality of work that they do!

This shop is the epitome of family-owned, local business. I went in with a very specific kind of antique design in mind for an engagement ring. Ronnie and Dave helped me find an amazing piece well within my price range (they didnt push me at all on that!), and then had great suggestions for some slight alterations. Long story short: I needed the ring resized and reset with a new diamond within a day, and THEY CAME THROUGH. AND at an incredible price. I would highly highly recommend this place!

My experience with Malka Diamonds & Jewelry was easily the best experience Ive ever had with any jeweler. They are friendly, helpful and patient. They pay strong attention to detail and I can tell they do careful work, which I appreciate so much.I dropped off my engagement ring to be resized. The jewel on the ring had came loose, but I forgot to tell them this upon dropping it off. I received a call that the ring was finished exactly a week later (when they said they would call) and when I picked it up, I discovered a beautifully polished and resized ring... the best part? They fixed the jewel. I didnt even have to ask them, they just went right ahead and fixed it.I call that real customer service. Malka truly cares, and I would recommend them to anyone.Thank you Malka!

David helped me find the perfect vintage engagement ring. Id looked all over town and found Malka to be the best combination of selection, service, and value. They can customize, clean, and resize rings right in the store, and their follow up cleanings and maintenance really add a lot of value. The ring looked good in the case and looked great after theyd done some work to bring out the details in the fillagree.The whole experience left my (now) wife and I feeling great—which is important considering well be back every 6 months or so to get her ring cleaned.

I shopped 4 different jewelers in Portland before deciding on Malka. The reason I selected Ronnie and the Malka team was because unlike the other jewelers trying to push anything they could, she took a consultative approach to learn my fiancé’s style and helped me design something unique for her.I first came into the store about a year ago with my soon to be fiancé to look at engagement rings. We met with Ronnie and looked at a bunch of different styles to a sense of what my fiancé likes. What I really appreciated about Ronnie was the consultative approach. After we left, she didn’t call me every day trying to sell me something. Instead, I was able to email with her for a few weeks to determine the best type of ring for us. She ordered stones within my budget and I was able to come back into the store to pick the best fit. As a guy who knows very little about the jewelry, designing an engagement ring seemed a little overwhelming. Luckily, Ronnie helped me look at different options and helped me design the perfect ring.We recently came back to pick out our wedding bands. I will continue to recommend Malka to anyone looking for diamonds or jewelry. They provide an important personal touch when making a special purchase.

When a favorite pendant broke Malka was able to perform a repair surprising quick. Their staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. I was impressed with their designs and am considering having some custom work done by them.

The owners of Malka are quite amazing. We have had appraisals and work done on existing jewelry which turned it great. We also had my wifes band done. I cannot express how great of an experience Malka is. No pressure, a ton of expertise and very fair. I would reccomend them to anyone. I wont go anywhere else.Ryan Manougian

I cant say enough good things about Dave and everyone at Malka Diamonds. I had spent months searching for someone to make the right engagement ring, and ran into obstacle after obstacle with other jewelers who werent able or willing to make the ring that I was after. Daves response? Sounds like a fun project to make someone happy. The communication was fantastic, and on more than one occasion he actually talked me out of more expensive options to stay the course with the initial concept. The work was done quickly, it looks great and I couldnt be happier. Shopping for an engagement ring can be a horribly nerve-wracking experience, and Dave made it effortless.

I went to Malka to have my fiances grandmothers wedding ring remade for our wedding. David (owner) and Stewart (craftsman) attentively listened to my design requests; allowed me to personally review the wax prototype; and promptly delivered an elegant ring, designed exactly as I requested.

I had some sort of idea what I wanted to get for my now Fiancé but no idea what exactly to get since I didnt have much knowledge about the diamond industry, David did a great job helping me find the perfect engagement ring. He gave me a few options to narrow it down, definetly recommending it to my friends for when their time will come. Also definetly coming back for the wedding bands, they have a pretty wide selection of the best quality over quantity diamonds and rings.

I had a custom engagement ring made from two family herilooms at Malka and, not only did I get an amazing piece of custom jewelry, I was treated with great respect. Although their prices are higher than your everday mall jewelry store, it is totally worth it for the quality and craftmenship.
