Highest Recommendation for Slava and Marx Jewelers.

Price, service, process and follow up were excellent. For the better part of a year, jewelry store after jewelry store, I searched for an engagement ring consistently encountering high pressure sales tactics that would make a used car salesman blush. Quite by accident my girlfriend and I stumbled across Marx Jewelers.

Slava was informative rather than pushy as he calmly explained the process of artfully designing the ring on a computer, consulting my input along the way, then producing a precision wax cast that ultimately would become the finished art work. Feeling comfortable with him, we shook hands on the deal and moved forward.

Slava sourced a wonderful princess cut Diamond at an excellent price (cheaper than my “friend in the Diamond business” from the radio) and we agreed on a design based on a designer my girlfriend and I loved. And this was to prove key… Slava listened to what we wanted, created the artwork then followed through with several edits and design tweaks until we were completely satisfied with the design. The wax mold was perfectly delivered and shortly afterward the rings were cast in 18K white Gold.

Having spent months researching diamonds, visiting multiple jewelry stores and at times feeling frustrated with the whole process of buying an engagement ring, I am so glad I ran into Slava; Marx Jewelers delivered a complete wedding set that we both love and we get tons great comments on.

I highly recommend Slava and Marx Jewelers; our ring set anywhere else would have been double in price. We received great value and excellent, professional service. Thank you Slava.

Sincerely, Mr. and Mrs. Brian Keep

Words can not describe how amazing of a job Slava did on my fiance's engagement ring. She loves the ring and was amazed at how it turned out. I can't thank you enough for all your kindness and help and PERFECT ring. We will be visiting you again soon.

I can't say enough about the wonderful experience I had with Marx Jewelers. I had been searching for a jeweler who could work with me on designing a ring for over a year. I live in Atlanta and was on vacation in Portland when I came across Marx Jewelers. I had talked to several other jewelers that day and couldn't find anything I liked. I met Slava Gurevich and told him my frustrations with finding a ring. Immediately he started showing me some pictures of his designs on the computer. We discussed my budget and some changes to one of the designs he showed me. He listened to my ideas and wants and came up with a better ring than I could have imagined. I had to trust him with my diamonds and leave for Atlanta. He kept in constant contact with me and sent computer renderings of the ring for my approval. He also came up with a design for a band to match the ring that was just perfect. His prices were very reasonable too. He had it all finished in a couple of weeks and sent it to me with an appraisal from an independent source. It was far better than my expectations. He also worked with my husband to surprise me with diamond stud earrings for my 50th birthday. I will definitely be recommending Slava to my friends and will be using him for any jewelry purchases in the future.

My experience with Marx Jewelers has been great from the beginning.

As my girlfriend and I were shopping for an engagement/wedding ring, we visited many jewelers including some of the "nearby" ones. In fact, Marx was one of the first and Slava was helpful and informative and not pushy at all. We scarcely conversed with him, but he apparently was confident that if we were savvy, we would be back to see him.

We chose to purchase a band from another store, but decided to find a diamond separately. We ultimately settled with Marx (Slava) because he was able to get us a better price (almost 1/2 the price per ct) because he didn't have the overhead or the rental cost of a mall store and because he listened to us and was able to work closely with us to meet our custom needs.

After choosing his diamond we had special needs to mount the diamond as low as possible and also to make quality improvements to the original band. Slava uses CAD, so we were able to design, conceptualize, and look in 3-D at the final product before we started any modification.

We then went step-by-step through the construction process and I was allowed to evaluate and make suggestions which were incorporated into the final ring. He even notice a significant flaw in the gold work of the channel-set diamonds on the band and repaired that nicely.

Overall, Slava was very patient and explained carefully and clearly what the limitations were and between us, we produced a most perfect ring for my now fiance.

Marx Jewelers did an outstanding job and I will certainly visit them again when given the opportunity for precious stones and custom work.

Thank you Slava!

When we went to Marx Jewelers, we had an exact idea of what we were wanting to have created. From the beginning of the process to have our Celtic knot, titanium/white sapphire engagement/wedding ring made, we were kept up to date on the progress of the ring. Slava guaranteed the quality of ring and this was demonstrated by him being so skilled in the detail work of the rings intricacies. Slava guaranteed the quality, timeliness, and satisfaction that we would have with the ring. Upon getting the ring, I could not have been more grateful for his honesty because of the rings beauty and his word throughout the process. Because of our 100% satisfaction he will get our returning business.
