Stick to small, local jewelers
Sure, there are some benefits to shopping at large chain stores and online-only retailers when you’re shopping for everyday items. If you’re looking for a good deal on a pair of jeans or a new set of silverware, exquisite quality, a curated inventory, and personalized assistance from industry experts may not be your top priorities.
But when it comes to buying something as important as an engagement ring, small, independent jewelers are your best bet — especially during the pandemic.
By nature, boutique jewelers like Malka Diamonds are far better suited to the personalized, intimate shopping experience COVID necessitates. Plus, now more than ever, supporting small local businesses can make a big difference in your community.
Whether you’re shopping in-store, online, or via 1-1 video chat, working with a local jewelery company will give you the highest quality, best value, and first-class service.
Shop online
Opting for local boutique jewelers still means you can enjoy the convenience (and safety) of shopping online from the comfort of your own home. The pandemic has prompted a lot of independent jewelers to take advantage of the technology available to us and set up online shops and showrooms.
Even if you don’t want to actually make your purchase online, browsing a store’s online shop ahead of your appointment can be a great way to get a sense of their collections and figure out what styles and cuts you like. Check out Malka’s online pop-up shop here
Opt for a virtual appointment
Another COVID-safe option for finding that perfect ring is to schedule a virtual appointment, where you’ll meet with your jeweler via phone or video chat. This allows you to discuss your options and benefit from their personalized, 1-1 attention and expertise without having to leave your home.
At Malka Diamonds, we perform virtual consultations by phone, Zoom, FaceTime, Google Hangout, or another video-chat method of your choice. You’ll get the same thoughtful attention, high-quality service, and customized experience we offer in-store from the comfort of your own home. To make the most of your consultation, we’ll ask you some questions ahead of time to get a sense of your tastes, budget, and preferences. Contact us today to schedule your virtual appointment.
Schedule in-person appointments in advance
Not everyone is comfortable purchasing an engagement ring online or via video chat, and that’s perfectly okay. Most jewelers are still offering in-store shopping — it just looks a little different these days.
Scheduling your in-person appointment in advance not only keeps everyone safe, but allows for a more intimate and personalized shopping experience. In fact, many people find that they actually prefer appointment shopping to traditional walk-in ring shopping.
At Malka Diamonds, we offer private appointments at our new location in Portland’s Pearl District. We’ve taken extra precautions to ensure our store meets the highest standards of safety, cleanliness, and sanitation protocols.
