Ari Diamonds

Mark Ryan

I walked in one morning nine days before my 25th anniversary with a sketch of a ring I wanted to give my wife. By the end of the day with Scott’s help we had pretty much finished up the design. He said they were about three weeks out but would do their best. Turns out that they got it done by our anniversary. Under promise and over deliver baby. That’s how you do it. This whole process was a bunch of fun and was made all the better by Scott’s enthusiasm, laid back professionalism, and excellent communication skills. Ari’s will get all my future jewelry business. Thanks a million Scott & Co!

Scott is amazing. He made my wife’s engagement ring and then a year later made the attached wedding band. My wife didn’t want to go the traditional (cookie cutter) route and found a picture of the ring she wanted. It was different/detailed and Scott was able to reproduce it exactly using only a picture. He provided 3D drawings of the ring and allowed as many revisions as I wanted (I didn’t require any revisions) before he created the physical ring. Not only did I save thousands, but my wife got exactly what she wanted. I would definitely recommend Scott to anyone looking to buy an engagement ring. Find a picture of what you want, send it to Scott, and he’ll recreate it exactly.

When it came time to find an engagement ring, I had a very specific idea of what I wanted, including a diamond that had been passed down through the family. We met with Scott at Ari first and then visited several other custom Jewelers in Portland before returning to Ari. He was by far the most patient and transparent of everyone we talked to. Most couldn't even give us specific pricing details while Scott broke down everything line by line and helped us plan something that matched my vision but was within our budget. We ended up with a beautiful and unique Platinum ring that appraised for more than we paid for it and cost 50% less than what some other stores were estimating. Other reviewers mention that this place is very casual and that's true but it was perfect for us. I'd much rather talk to the guy making my jewelry than a suited-up salesperson who can't answer my questions. I happily plan to make Ari Diamonds my long-term jeweler.

My husband, at the time Fiancee found Scott (owner) who agreed to work with me to design my engagement ring and select the stones. Scott took my hand drawings, made a wax mold to fit the diamonds I selected. The whole process was fascinating, engaging and I so loved the personal aspect of having a custom ring made, they even created heart shaped tips on my prongs based on my drawing. I get comments on my ring daily and Scott couldn't have been any easier to work with. He does beautiful work, a true craftsman!
