After we got engaged we went to Alchemy to have them make my ring. I had a good idea of what I liked and wanted (we had stones) but the CAD design drawings were brilliant in helping us finalize the design. After David (owner / goldsmith / artist / jeweler) sketched some designs based on what I liked he was able to show some some very accurate computerized renderings. When you are investing in a custom designed ring you plan to wear for the rest of your life, it is a bit nerve wracking! Being able to "see" a very accurate approximation gave us confidence. A few weeks later I was able to try a mold and before too long an unpolished casting. I now have my beautiful ring and I love it! It is beautifully made and I really appreciated David and his staffs patience and talent in making something special. He also kindly saved the vintage family heirloom ring that we used a stone from and was curious and sensitive about the story behind the jewelry. I also love the rest of the store - he has a wonderful selection of jewelry from other master jewelers and whether you are going there for a custom piece or to find something beautiful that they have in stock, Alchemy is a place to find something a little different and gorgeous. Highly recommend!

I was initially hesitant to visit Alchemy. From what I saw on their website, the style of Jewelry they carry didnt seem to match my fiancees tastes. Im so glad I went in anyway. What distinguishes Alchemy from other jewelers is their service. From the moment I walked in, until I walked out, with a ring, weeks later, Alchemy treated me as though I was spending thousands of dollars there - when in truth it was considerably less. I bought a humble gold band, but to me it was the most important purchase I had ever made. Adam worked with me to find the right one, within my budget, and even ultimately helped me customize it with his particular etching style to make it truly unique. I couldnt be happier with the product and the service at Alchemy. While I would normally not look to shops in the Pearl for big purchases, I am so glad I went to Alchemy. I will be back.

This Place Deserves 10 stars! Customer for Life. David and Sander have truly stunning and unique pieces in their store. I purchased a wedding ring here 4 years ago and most recently a replacement ring. I was so impressed with how dedicated and caring they both were in assisting me in getting my exact ring made. It made a stressful situation go much more smoothly. I also get so many wonderful compliments on my ring. I dont think I can go one day without a stranger saying how beautiful it is! I really cant imagine purchasing a piece of jewelry from any other store other than Alchemy. When I wear my ring I feel like I am wearing a little piece of art! You will not find nicer pieces or better service anywhere. Definitely a customer for life! Thanks again so much! :)

After exploring multiple jewelry stores across Portland and Seattle, my then-girlfriend, now-fiancé, and I ended our engagement ring search at Alchemy. While the store would receive high reviews based on that fact alone, the staff at Alchemy also adds in unique offerings and excellent customer service for a five star experience. Sander was informative and friendly without being pushy - in addition to offering a great pizza restaurant suggestion! While we found the perfect Anne Sportun vintage engagement ring at Alchemy, the selection was so amazing that we were also able to find a matching wedding band in-store as well. For anyone looking for a ring outside of the generic jewelers with an unforgettable buying experience, look no further than Alchemy Jeweler.

Alchemy is such a find! David, Laura, and Sander are warm and honest and they are passionate and knowledgeable about the jewelry arts. They treat each piece of jewelry--whether it was made by them or another jewelry designer--with the utmost care. The gallery is gorgeous--steel walls reflecting Davids background as a steel sculptor, walls adorned with antique oil paintings, and beautiful cases displaying high-end jewelry--and entering it feels like youve stepped into an oasis of tranquility. David and is an amazingly skilled goldsmith who pays special attention to detail, and he, Laura, and Sander are a pleasure to work with.

Having been in many jewelers over the years I am beyond impressed with the professionalism, artistic depth of knowledge, and ability to marry the desires of a client to the medium. I recently brought my fiancé in search of rings. Within minutes a fabulous design was on paper, stones selected and the ring ordered. Any other time would have experienced multiple visits to many stores searching for something to inspire. Sander brought the inspiration to paper while David came in to provide the design expertise. Not only are the rings bringing smiles to our faces but the price was more than right! Thank you for being a great artist!

Alchemy is the only place in Portland where I know experts are handcrafting jewelry. You can actually see their workshop from the showroom. They are the real deal. So much of the jewelry at Alchemy is inspired by nature, which sets the perfect tone for the shop atmosphere and collection of jewelry as a whole. Anyone who appreciates fine art and expert craftsmanship will like this shop. Alchemy is a gem in the pearl district, and you should visit their showroom whether shopping for jewelry or wanting to see something beautiful.

A truly exceptional experience. Wife and I have worked with Alchemy on several pieces from the basic to the full custom and we have been completely satisfied with the customer service and quality. When shopping for a jeweler to design a custom engagement ring David and his team intently listened to our stylistic preferences and created a truly stunning piece sure to stay in the family for generations.

Extremely helpful, and knowledgeable. I came in to get some very soft stones set in 14k gold, and instead of charging me or damaging my stones they gave me very practical advice on how to set them myself. They also sell some of the most beautiful, unique jewelry Ive seen anywhere. I highly recommend them for repairs, or for buying a truly beautiful piece of jewelry.
