We can deny it no further… it’s fall. Time to put away the flip flops, bring out the sweaters, go through the closet and figure out how to make what you have work for a new season. Might be time to sew new buttons on that coat, too…
The same process can work magic in your jewelry box. If looking into your jewelry box does not inspire you, perhaps it is time to make some changes. Spread everything out and take a good look at it, then start making some piles…
Pile #1, the beloved but bedraggled- Bring these items into Maloy’s for cleaning and inspection. A few minutes of complimentary “spa” will work wonders. We will then check for weak links, loose stones, worn prongs, and all those things that can lead to bigger problems down the road. If those problems have already occurred, we can likely fix that too, replacing missing stones, rebuilding damaged filigree, rebuilding a worn shank.
Pile #2, the just plain wrong- This is where the broken gold chains, single earrings, awkward 80′s necklaces, crushed bangle bracelets, and even those creepy gold teeth in a pill bottle from your aunt go. Let’s turn this pile into money to sponsor some of your other projects.
Pile #3, the not quite there- Perfectly lovely little diamonds… set in a corporate lapel pin from your great uncle. The awkward ring you never wear that has a beautiful sapphire in it. The beautiful antique earring you lost the mate to. Grandma’s tiny ladies diamond watch with the face too small to read… This is the fun pile! Let us help you think creatively about these things, we can turn them into your new favorites. How about a pair of dangly diamond earrings made by harvesting the sides of grandma’s watch? Or a redesigned ring with that sapphire and the lapel pin diamonds? The single earring, carefully converted to your new favorite pendant. We can truly work wonders with the things you already own.
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

I simply cannot thank you enough for being so incredibly kind to me yesterday, Saturday, the 3rd of July. I came in about an hour before the store closed with my antique wedding ring that had a loose center diamond due to very small prongs that (as I later found out thanks to Maloy’s) had not been repaired or re-tipped, despite a promise from “Jeweler X”, where we purchased the ring, that they would be before we took the ring home. I had tried to take it earlier in the day to Jeweler X, where we had purchased it, but to my dismay the store was closed early (like four hours early!) with no explanation. I was heartbroken because we are having some pictures with my fiancee’s family taken today, and I hated the thought of not being able to wear my ring or having to worry the whole time about the center stone falling out. Well, I don’t have to worry any more! The moment I walked into your store I was greeted by a warm smile and hello, and the woman who helped me was genuine and very knowledgeable. I could not believe that the owner was willing to take the time out of his busy day (right before a holiday weekend, no less!) to not only look over my ring, but tighten the center stone and come down to talk to me about my ring. I think he even polished my ring! He didn’t even charge me for all the help he gave me. I just can’t say thank you enough, and I hope that you all know that you now have a very loyal customer who will be back time and time again. Thank you, thank you, thank you! All the Best,
Emily B.
