Just wanted to send a big thank you to Nina (I think that’s right!) who helped me today with my wedding ring cleaning. She gave such excellent service and kept me great company – what a joy! And my ring is so very happy : )
This summer has gone by too fast. We at Maloy’s need a bit more time to frolic in the sunshine before the rains set in. To that end, we will be CLOSED Saturday, Sunday and Monday, (Sept 4,5 &6), for the Labor Day holiday.
The Story-
Mrs. H, of Bend, was in town visiting her daughter. The day before heading back to Bend, they came into our shop with Mrs. H’s lovely platinum wedding set, which she had been unable to wear for many years because of arthritis. Since she was leaving town so soon, we arranged to ship the resized rings back to her once they were done.
Her daughter called us several days after we shipped the rings, saying that Mrs. H was in tears… we held our breath… had something gone wrong, had we not measured her finger accurately? No, the daughter explained… these were tears of absolute joy. The ring was more beautiful, she said, then it had been the day her husband gave it to her, and to once again have it on her hand meant the world to her.
The moral-
Yes, we can safely ship your jewelry to you (covered by our insurance till the moment you sign for it). Tears of joy optional.
Yes, you can avail yourself of our services even if you live out of town! C.W. moved from Portland to San Diego some years ago, but still sent us her beautiful antique eternity band when it needed some repair. Once it arrived, we got right back to her with a repair estimate, did the work, and shipped it back to her (covered by our insurance till the moment she signed for it!). This is what she wrote once she got it back…
“Got my ring today and you know what? It looks much better than when I bought it. I don’t recall if it was later in life for it or it was how I bought it, but the diamonds were always a little sunken in. And its shininess is dazzling. I have one beautiful hand. Maybe I should swing by for my 15th anni ring??? 
Thank your worker bees. It actually meant more to me than I thought it would and I’m glad to have her back. cw

Please note that Maloy’s will be CLOSED on Monday, July 5th, in observance of Independence Day. Sorry for any inconvenience. Come see us Tuesday!
Please remember we will be CLOSED this Saturday due to the Grand Floral Parade, which goes right past our door! Regular hours resume next weekend, 11:00 to 5:00 on Saturday, 10:00- 5:30 during the week.
Yes, the sun is finally out, and wedding season is upon us. Just a word to remind you that this is our busy season too, so PLEASE be sure to allow enough time for us to meet your repair/ restoration/ or sizing needs. Our lead time right now is up to 2 to 4 weeks on some complicated jobs, and we hate to disappoint you!
Please note that we will be CLOSED for Memorial Day on Monday, May 31st.
Please mark your calendars- we will be CLOSED Saturday June 12th, because the Grande Floral Parade will be happening right outside our door. We hope everyone enjoys the day!
A new client came into the shop today, laden with three generations of family jewelry needing repair work. I asked her how she found Maloy’s. She told me that she had sent out a note to all the people on her neighborhood email list, asking for recommendations on where to get the work done. Evidently, the resounding response from a surprising number of neighbors was “Maloy’s!” Thanks for spreading the word… We appreciate it very much.
