Malloy's is a treasure and a landmark shop that you should visit anytime you are looking for great pieces of vintage jewelry and vintage watches and timekeeping pieces. They have a great collection of beautiful rings, necklaces, pendants and other items gathered from obviously upper and estate sales and the like. The watches they have for sale are unusual and many nice pocket watch pieces as well as men's and women's wrist watches. Many are out of my budget range, but they also provide prompt and friendly service for replacement of watch batteries and adjustment of sizing of metal watch bands. I visited last week to have the metal band of my new Seiko watch properly sized by removing three metal bands and Jennifer did a great job removing 3 links and giving them to me for possible future use if my wrist expands. I almost walked out without paying her then turned back to settle up, but she refused to take any payment!. Anyone should visit this wonderful little shop that has been there for as long as my office has been here, at least 20 years. Great service, great inventory, and great ladies.
In just about any situation, I respect an approach that is guided by the most knowledge, the most evidence, and is the most fair. The vintage dealer that sold me my ring told me one expectation about the condition of it. And I got another expectation from a different jewelry shop. And I did a little research. Then I went to Maloy's. I didn't say what I was previously told. I just asked their opinion. What they told me about my ring made the most sense and was well supported by my prior experiences. Also, I could tell that they were being much more fair with me than the other jewelry shop- not just in price, but that was certainly part of it. They did a beautiful repair for my ring. They have gorgeous pieces in the store. I feel like I gained a truly knowledgeable resource by being their customer. And the fact that they were immediately down-to-earth is something I will remember and respect. And the skillful work is right on the heels of that. Next time I'm in the market for jewelry, I will come here first.
Stopped in to look at the antique settings, but there weren't too many options that would fit the .5c diamond I inherited. We decided to get a quote for a custom engagement ring instead. The lady we spoke to was very helpful and pleasant to work with but not the actual designer/jeweler. We were given a few rough estimations and asked to narrow in closer to an actual price, but were told we couldn't have a final quote until after we had paid the design fee. I prefer to have a more specific quote with line-items called out such as price-per-gram for metal, design cost, casting fee, setting fee, etc. Overall the price seemed reasonable for the audience (NW Portland) and it looked like they were very talented craftsmen/craftswomen. The pieces were beautiful. We decided to go somewhere else that gave a more specific quote that came in around $1500 less.
I have to express my total gratitude for the service and craftmanship of the jeweler who restored my wedding ring of 49 years to its beauty. I had small rubies which the prongs kept failing. I kept restoring the rubies and prongs only to continue same problem. And then I found Maloys. Within a half hour consultation we decided to remove the ruby and change the design to replace it with a gold leaf which balanced the other two leaves with the diamond in the middle. When I saw and placed it home on my finger, I felt it better than original... as if it was always the way it is today. I fell in love with my simple classic wedding set from 1972. From my moment of walking into Maloy’s Jewelry, we were treated with profession and warmth, and expertise which brings trust. Thank you very much. Valerie Roche
Maloy's Jewelry Workshop is awesome! I have a 50 year old mechanical watch that needed service. I'm always hesitant about places that don't service in house, but I took a chance and was pleasantly surprised! Jen was very polite and communicated with me through the process. I never met the watch maker, but he had my watch back in less than 2 weeks and running well! If you visit the shop, ask about the old man who brought in the watch he was wearing on the USS Indianapolis... Update: Over a year later my 51 year old basic workhorse Seiko 5126 movement is still keeping perfect time! The watchmaker obviously took exceptional care in servicing and regulating my timepiece. But you don't have to take my word for it, let the atomic clock show you how good this place is!
I am sorry that I wasted my time visiting this store. They were recommended by another jewelry store to take a piece I had that I was contemplating selling. I never wear the piece and I had it sized down to wear on my pinky finger which was a horrible mistake. In a rather cold tone I was informed that they wouldn't be interested in it because it had a very large crack in the 1 carat stone. I had already mentioned that I was told it had a chip. You can't even see it unless you use a very high powered lens. Being rude to a potential seller/buyer doesn't bode well with me. I brought my fiance with me and they didn't acknowledge him but, did look at him as if he were going to rob them. When I made the appointment, they were told that he would accompany me.
I came into Maloy's searching for the perfect engagement ring and found it. I spoke with Eve, I showed her photos of rings I'd tried on at other jewelery stores and briefly mentioned what I liked about them but that I wasn't feeling that spark that would make a ring worth the price. She told me she has a knack for matching people to their ring and she nailed mine on the first try. She showed me this ring that was outside the budget I'd first given her, but I felt that spark so strongly I didn't mind adding to my budget. The history, craftsmanship, unique style, and sparkle of this antique ring was all so special, I'm so glad Maloy's was recommended to me after I struggled at the traditional new jewelry stores.
We have been coming to Maloy's since we found my engagement ring there 2 years ago. Everyone there always takes such good care of us and their prices are very reasonable. I've been in several times to have my ring resized, which I feel self conscious about and on my last visit the gal at the counter was so sweet and made me feel better about having to upsize my ring (again). She also helped me get it resized short notice in time for Christmas. My ring always comes back so sparking. I won't go anywhere else for my jewelry needs. THANK YOU!
I stopped by today with a set budget for a birthday gift for my sister and they were wonderful. It wasn't my first time in Malloy's and it won't be my last. Knowledgeable staff and so helpful spending the time with me it to pick out the perfect gift. Time and money was very well spent today, they even gift wrapped my selection and my sister loved it. I've taken pearls there in the past to be restrung and have had amazing service every time. Shopping local and going vintage with estate jewelry is the only way to go.
I brought an inherited chain bracelet in for repair after one of the links broke. They told me since it was heavily worn that they couldn't guarantee the repair long-term, which was fine, but once I got the "repaired" bracelet back it broke within a couple hours! I called to tell them and they would only refund me half of what I had paid, even though the women on the phone told me they made a mistake taking the job at all. Really disappointing and I will not be returning, I'd take your repairs somewhere else.
I took in a couple of pieces I was considering selling. Eve was very professional and knowledgeable. As well as bidding on two of my items, she cleaned one of the rings free of charge, and gave me some history on a pendant watch I didn't want to sell, but was curious about. Their stock is unique and varied. Lots of interesting and beautiful pieces. The store is well-staffed. I would definitely recommend a trip to look around and maybe pick-up a treat for yourself or a special gift.
While this shop may have some lovely items...the owner is incredibly rude and not completely truthful. 10 bad reviews is 10 too many! I left feeling disappointed and deceived. The work was not done "in house" and they did not stand behind the shoddy job. After being told that they would redo the work, I was called 10 days later to pick it up...and they hadn't even touched it, but kept insisting that they had redone it??? I have camera photos and eyes.
Very helpful with major and minor jewelry repairs. Glued and reset a cracked opal for me, being quite honest about its limited life expectancy. When the opal eventually died and I decided to replace it with a harder carnelian, the new stone had to be ground to fit the old setting. No problem. They have built special tools to remove particularly difficult watch backs and replace batteries. They appreciate old stuff, and I appreciate them.
My fiancé did some research and found this place on google. We went in to look at possibly purchasing my ring there - which we did. They had a great selection in a range of prices/metals/stones and the customer service was excellent. When the ladies in the shop found out we were leaving town the following morning they offered to resize right away so we could leave with the ring! Definitely would recommend purchasing from Maloy's!
Great estate jewelry with a highly skilled staff. They know their products and are backed up by a gemologist and jewelers who can create jewelry for you or customize a piece they or you already have. They are patient and and very thorough. I trust them to do fine work with fine materials. If you can't find that special piece that you didn't know you were looking for, this is the place to go.
I had my diamond eternity wedding band fixed here two separate times. (I'm hard on my jewelry), and they perfectly matched and replaced two small diamonds on different occasions, and resized my ring. The work was beautiful. Their service was friendly, efficient, and good with communicating with me during the process. I will return for future repairs. Thanks for great service and work.
My fiance and I had an initial experience with a Malloy's employee that was was not fantastic. However, the owner was extremely kind, exemplifying wonderful customer care, and rectified the situation by gifting the repairs to my fiance's ring at no charge. I so appreciated the kindness and sensitivity as well as craftsmanship he demonstrated.
Was looking for a vintage wedding band to go with my heirloom engagement ring from my fiancé's grandmother and they had a great selection, unique and affordable options, and friendly and knowledgable staff. In addition to sizing, they did some maintenance work on my engagement ring and it turned out beautifully. Will definitely be back!
Such a wonderful experience at Maloy's. I brought in my Mother's vintage ring to have it repaired and reset and they couldn't have done a better job. Nina was a joy to work with and she knew exactly what I wanted. It's so well done and worth the price. It was even less than another place had estimated for me. Thank you Maloy's!
I have been a long time customer and never has Maloy's disappointed me...They've been honest about jewelry, gave sound advice, excellent appraisals and have indulged my creativity when I want a new sparkling bauble. Their expertise is to be trusted, their dedication to customers praised. Will not go anywhere else for jewelry.
I walked in to ask about getting my vintage, silver ring hammered back into shape (it got smushed and was too mangled to wear). The kind staff took my ring and reshaped it on the spot. It took less than 10 minutes and was free of charge! I'm so happy to be able to wear my ring again, and highly recommend this shop.
My husband and I got our wedding rings here. The staff was absolutely lovely - helpful and knowledgeable, not pushy, communicative and went out of their way to make sure our rings were ready in time. The selection was great - wide variety and unique pieces. Highly recommend and look forward to visiting again!
We bought my wife’s wedding band here and had it welded with her engagement ring. They are some of the most kind, attentive sales people. They have remembered us since our first visit. They were able to get the rings welded rough after the wedding for a super reasonable price, and it was done while we waited.
Antique jewelry should not be taken to a “regular” store. Antiques must go to people who know about them. This is the place to go. These guys are fantastic. They know their stuff. This is the place for family jewelry repairs and even match ups. They are also very creative with pieces you don’t use anymore.
These people are rude and snooty. Evidently if you don't have something like the garish monstrosities they sell your jewelry is "poor quality" and they can't work on it. So we went to ABC, who managed it just fine- better than fine, in fact. They also treated us like human beings not of "poor quality."
My husband and I found our rings here and were very happy with the knowledge and how fast they were ready. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a vintage/antique ring that's unique. We also got a voucher for Momo's next door for champagne since we purchased engagement/weddings bands.
Always amazing customer service, and incredible attention to detail. They take the quality and overall integrity of your vintage jewelry very seriously. Both my engagement ring and wedding ring came from here, were sized here, and they did an amazing job. Each experience left me beaming and happy.
Stopped in to get a cleaning on an antique diamond ring, assuming it'd cost me $20-30. The service was complimentary and the ppl were more than happy to chat with us and show us some beautiful pieces. Definitely worth checking out if you like old gemstones and happy friendly ppl who sell them.
I felt completely dismissed and disrespected the entire time I was in there. I apparently look to young to have any money. Every moment I was there they made me feel like I wasn't worth their time. Every request I made was met with sighs and eye rolls. I'll never enter this shop again.
I was in town from Charlotte last week and shopped around some valuables I wanted to liquidate. Shannon gave the best offer and was very patient. Went back the next day and did my transaction, plus got a tremendous deal on a gorgeous vintage watch. Highly recommended.
I came in with a hatpin I wanted to make into an ear crawler and one of their amazing bench jewelers figured out how to turn it into exactly what I wanted for a super affordable price! Is she a magic elf? Probably. Go spend your money here- you will thank me.
This shop was recommended to me by a co-worker and it's adorable! Their styles are great, love the vintage looks of their jewelery. We ended up buying an engagement ring the same day as our appointment and it was sized within the week! Highly recommend ❤️
AMAZING!!!!!! I got engaged on our trip to Portland and we really needed to get my ring resized before traveling home. Nicole got it down 2 sizes AND smoothed out a nick in the silver band in 30 MINUTES RUSH ORDER!!!!!! Forever grateful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sweet little jewelry store with cool vintage jewelry. I went here to get a couple rings re-sized. When one didn’t fit proper and I brought it back they were very accommodating. They also changed the shape of a ring my Grandma gifted me. Thank you!
A very pleasant experience. I took many cufflinks and misc. pieces that came from family, but without sentimental value. They were able to evaluate it as I waited and I walked out with a check. Very professional and friendly. Highly recommend.
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They went through loads of jewelry after cleaning out my parents house. They purchased a bulk amount of old unused jewelry at a good rate. Will continue to use them for my jewelry needs in the future.
Maloy's is a great jeweler. I had them perform a stickpin-to-necklace conversion with an antique Deco stickpin I purchased from their store, and the work was excellent and completed quickly. Years later, the necklace is still worn daily!
Thank you Nina for going out if your way to fix my earrings. Despite of the work orders you receive each day you made me so happy to solder my earring for my bday. It was an excellent job and excellent customer service. Thank you.
Highest quality workmanship and customer care. A classic Portland business that carries itself with integrity. Reliable and consistent, Maloy's Jewelry Workshop is highly recommended for jewelry related services. We are grateful.
Can't recommend enough! I've had two custom rings made by maloys. The staff is very easy to talk with. Laid back vibe (no feelings of typical "jewelry store pressure"). Prices are extremely affordable and quality is top notch!
An excellent place to source indigenous jewelry. They have a large assortment of other items that are antique and might be what your looking for. It's great to have a place local instead of trusting an eBay seller.
Friendly staff, convenient location, eazy transaction look me up on. If you need to get some quick cash and have a handful of jewelry you need to repurpose, this place will give you more than the other guys.
A quaint shop filled with beautiful jewelry. Very knowledgeable and attentive staff and a great selection. Nina is amazing, you can definitely tell she cares about her customers as much as vintage jewelry!
I highly recommend them for jewelry repair. Both pieces I have had repaired came out looking great. They were even willing to repair my gold plated earrings that a pervious shop refused to do.
Nina patiently helped me navigate the process of making an engagement ring for my partner. Great selection of of stones. It was such a pleasure and my partner loved it!
Great place to sell old and antique jewelry. Some of the best prices in town. Will go back to them to sell more old jewelry and possibly buy some different jewelry.
Rude and unhelpful customer service. Not willing to discuss and work with me on a compromise at all and immediately shifted blame to the customer.
great service wonderful inventory they take the time to talk to you find out your needs and help you through the jewelry shopping process
Eve, your compassion, knowledge and kindness while helping us find a replacement ring has earned a customer for life. Thank you so much.
i've been a customer since 1986. their custom design work is fantastic and the attention to detail is far better than any chain jeweler.
Amazing selection, knowledgeable and courteous staff - purchased my wife's engagement ring here and couldn't be happier with it.
Fixed my beautiful necklace on the spot! The workers were so lovely. I will definitely be back for jewelry repairs and needs!
Crate service wonderful collection have antique jewelry knowledgeable staff willing to help you find just the right piece
They do great work here and can actually fix your vintage jewelry! It's expensive but you get what you pay for
Got my wife an amazing vintage 20's ring here. Nice folks. They also maintained the ring at no charge.
Best customer service and even better if you purchase one of their pieces, then you are family!
The lady was short with us. Wasn't anything like what we thought the experience would be like
Excellent work quality and truly exceptional customer service. Highly recommended!
They offered me $2k for the same item I bought from them for $11k the year before.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff, I was able to get my gold jewelery appraised.
So helpful and easy to work with. Also affordable for alterations and repairs.
Very knowledge and friendly staff. Great for all your jewelry needs.
The best customer service! Great selection of beautiful jewelery.
My wedding ring was designed 27 yrs ago and I still love it!
I am beyond thrilled with the work they did for me.
Very rude, highly over priced and pushy.
Great jewelry, great people.
Great selection and service
Great friendly service
Nice place
