I’m writing this review on behalf of my NEW fiancé, with his super busy and exhausting schedule, purchasing this ring was the easiest thing he had to do. After strolling down the diamond district, Roman Malakov caught his attention and it was basically a done deal. In 45min, he described exactly what he wanted and Roman Malakov created it for him. It was a stress free and enjoyable experience, he couldn’t have been any happier to enter Roman Malakov store that day. Roman was attentive, patient and he saw the vision and created it beautifully. And the price was exactly right!I was so impressed with the end result, it’s literally the most beautiful ring and made exactly for me. I cannot believe my NEW fiancé picked this ring out without much of any direction. This ring is exactly what I didn’t know I wanted. I absolutely love love love it. I’m so happy that it was a stress free experience, than you Roman Malakov. I believe that anything that stresses you out, isn’t meant to be. I’m so happy that this ring was meant just for me.
It was a great experience with Michael to get a wedding rings for my wife. They were very patient and delicate to select right one. Spending quite lots of money on this, but it was just peace of mind.They finished everything on time and most important thing is that My wife is so happy for her rings
10 out of 10. 100 out of 100. Google - you havent given me enough stars here to adequately portray the overall experience I had with Boris and Roman Malakov Diamonds.Selecting an engagement ring can be tough. Designing and constructing a symbol of your love from scratch is even more challenging. Only the best will do, but there are so many questions and variables...including the most important one - with whom should you partner? Sure - the selection at Roman Malakov is impressive, and its extremely clear that this family-run business is talented. What sealed the deal for me was meeting and speaking with Boris in person. Here was a person who had a passion and the soul of an artist. Completely collaborative, knowledgeable, patient, and gracious. Everything was perfect - down to the tiniest details that led my now fiancee to say this is the most comfortable ring Ive ever worn. Diamonds are of the highest caliber, craftsmanship is impeccable, and the service - both in person and remote (I dont live in NYC) was exceptional.As far as Im concerned, Boris has earned a lifelong customer in me, and Ill be returning not only for my wedding rings but also for any other piece we may dream up. Boris and Roman Malakov Diamonds are, by far, the only choice I would consider for a beautiful, meaningful, and impactful piece of jewelry. I cant recommend them enough. Thank you, Boris!
Prior to my engagement, my boyfriend and I went to half a dozen jewelers while deciding exactly what we wanted. As soon as we left Roman malakov, my boyfriend said “that is who I want to work with”. Me forever being unsatisfied, I still shopped around, from NYC to Antwerp. After my endless research, no one was able to match the price, selection, or satisfaction of RMD. At no point did I feel any pressure whatsoever, which made the process that much smoother. Michael was endlessly patient with all of my questions, was accommodating towards my demanding work schedule, and was always a text away. Michael helped us design the perfect ring and we could not have been happier. We have told all of our friends and can’t wait to shop with them again.
I am so excited to finally share my appreciation for the work thats been done by Roman Malakov Diamonds!We purchased both the custom engagement ring and the wedding rings from here! And I cant even describe the frustration that me and my husband been through before we found this precious place!Michael was kind, helpful, attentive and so patient throughout the visits. He explained all the details, took into account all our preferences and especially budget! All the rings are made with high quality and such an attention to details! The work was done quickly and efficiently! In addition, Michael is always in touch with you, so if you have questions or concerns, he is always there to help you out!And finally, one but pretty important thing for me was that among all the diamond stores on 47th street, the Roman Malakov Diamonds store is so so comforting! Its beautiful, clean, quiet and whenever you walk in you are welcomed with a smile!I am very happy that we tied the knot with the rings from Roman Malakov Diamonds! :) Definitely will go back for future purchases! Highly recommend!Thank you Michael and the team from the bottom of our hearts!
My partner has had jewelry designed for me at Roman Malakov Diamonds. Each piece is exceptional in quality and craftsmanship, truly exquisite. I have had the great pleasure of meeting Michael Malakov in person. He is knowledgeable, patient and true to his word, all qualities that are hard to find. I highly recommend this establishment.
An Excellent experience!I was looking for a special piece of jewelry and as soon as I walked by the window display, I knew this is the place. Michael was very helpful and presented a variety of designs until we found the one that I fell in love with. The jewelry was custom built to my specifications and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend Roman Malakov to anyone who is looking for exceptional designs, high quality stones, craftsmanship, and service.
I brought in an old peridot and diamond ring from my grandfather to be redesigned and had such a lovely experience. Meir was very helpful and nice to work with. He understood exactly what I was looking for, and the new design came out perfectly. I would trust them with any special pieces, and their store is so beautiful!
Michael was exceedingly patient, very very helpful, and such an extraordinary person. I felt very comfortable working with him and with him helping me to choose from the various gems the ones I felt that was attuned to my desires.
Look no further than Roman Malakov. Though I originally stumbled into this place on a whim, I can’t imagine it any other way. Aside from being the most talented in the industry with competitive prices, they are complete gems to work with. They are exceptionally thoughtful, caring and attentive to every little detail. They listen to you, guide you, are patient with you and will help to educate you. They are truly in the business of creating lifelong relationships and love what they do. I worked with Boris for many months to create my dream engagement ring and it came out better than I could have ever imagined. I cannot speak more highly of the people behind this business. We will be lifelong customers!
We couldn’t speak more highly of our experience choosing our wedding bands at Roman Malakov Diamonds — particular our interactions with Boris Malakov. From the moment we reached out to inquire about an appointment via email to even after we received the ring, Boris has been incredibly professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful, patient, and kind. Considering the great price, excellent craftsmanship, and personal experience, there is no better place to go!! Thanks again.
This was a fabulous place to deal with.Not only was Michael fabulous, patient and knowledgeable but, great to work with,butHe created a unique and custom bracelet for me for our 50 th anniversary.. And it arrived earlier then promised and prettier than I could have imagined.Great place to work with and absolute beautiful jewelry with a considerate, professional,.I can’t say enough about him and the company.It was my pleasure to shop there.
My husband wanted to buy a special ring for me for our 20th anniversary. Somehow on a cloudy, cold day in the Fall of 2019, my husband and I were lucky enough to meet Boris. He was able to custom make a beautiful ring with a purple sapphire surrounded by diamonds. I would highly recommend Malakov Diamonds. I was so happy with my ring, I had Boris custom make a pair of matching earrings. Thank you Boris for all the great work that you do. We are very happy customers.
My husband purchased my gorgeous diamond from Meir in 2016. We had it set by another jeweler and while I loved it at the time, life with a toddler meant that I needed a simpler setting that was easier to wear. I contacted Boris at Roman Malakov Diamonds and he was so professional - reasonably priced AND creative with solutions and guidance. I could not be happier with the outcome. Their artistry is top tier and all hand made, which requires a high degree of skill. I trusted them implicitly throughout the entire process from the time my diamond left me to when it returned in a FedEx, fully insured box. Highly recommend these guys!
I went to a few other shops before this one, and they all said theyd make me whatever engagement ring I want and gave little input otherwise. This was fine, but my experience with Boris at Roman Malakov was very different.Boris has a certain style and a way about him that makes you comfortable with the ring youre buying, and also points you in a good direction. Hell talk you through all of your options and show you samples for each choice. He doesnt try to upsell you, and he takes good care of you even after the proposal. My fiancee and I needed the ring resized very quickly due to a move, and he did it for us beautifully, for free, and in one day. I highly recommend this shop, and intend to use it for all of my future jewelry purchases.Bonus - if youre getting an engagement ring, youll get a beautiful box with it that even has a little light pointing at the ring.
I cannot express my thanks enough to Boris for working remotely with my husband and me to choose the perfect diamond for my engagement ring! My husband bought my engagement and wedding rings here eleven years ago, so when we were ready to upgrade the engagement ring diamond, it was an easy choice to come back! Boris did an amazing job of sending me videos of diamond options. He genuinely wanted me to be over the moon with my final choice... and my husband and I are!
Roman Malakov Diamonds, and Meir specifically, came highly recommended from a family member. He is extremely knowledgable and caring. Every experience we have had with him feels like we are meeting with family or a well-known friend. He is more than just a jeweler. He is patient, well-versed in the jewelry industry, and truly cares for his customers that he treats like family. We started off with custom designing my engagement ring. I had an idea of what I wanted in a ring, but I could not find the exact design anywhere. They were so helpful in trying on different rings and letting me tell them what I liked about each one. They took these notes and created the perfect engagement ring that I had always dreamed about and in a tighter deadline. When it came time for us to purchase our wedding bands, we knew that we would be going back to Meir and his team. Of course, the pandemic hit and our deadline became tighter. Meir was gracious enough to book an appointment with us a few days after they reopened and once again listened to my ideas for the perfect custom wedding bands to match the engagement ring. We looked at photos together to gain ideas and he perfected it! My husband was also extremely happy that he was able to try on rings they had and found the perfect one! They had our rings ready in record time before our wedding day and had them shipped to us. Meir continued to update us throughout the process and even spoke to us after the wedding to make sure that we were happy and satisfied with our rings. They have exceeded our expectations in every way and we will be going back for any future jewelry needs.Below are the photos showing the engagement ring and our wedding bands that Meir helped us in designing. The engagement ring is a three-stone set on an infinity band. The wedding bands compliment the engagement ring and follow each curve. We have received so many compliments on how incredibly shiny and sparkly the engagement ring and bands are!
Boris is truly the best of the best. Both my fiance and my cousin recently purchased engagement rings from him, and he is the most honest and patient person we have ever dealt with. The quality of his work is unparalleled, especially given his very fair pricing. He has gone above and beyond since we purchased the rings, from resizing and cleaning to helping us find the right wedding bands even when we couldnt visit the shop in person. We have recommend Boris to many friends and family since, and will continue to work with him on all of our future diamond needs!
We walked into the store accidentally a few years ago. Just started talking about general things we like. And Boris and his crew produced some amazing pieces for us to look at.I thought they had good stuff. But then I saw a picture of Shane Warne, who is a customer. Well, if its good enough for Shane....Jokes apart the quality of the product and workmanship here is top class.And in these Covid times, Boris has a great setup to work with you remotely, and still get you the same personal customer experience as you would expect in the store. Super easy to work with and tip class workmanship and design. Easy to customize pieces and super accommodating with all changes you want.
We had to move things around a bit for our wedding and make the best of our current situation. We made a very last minute request to Boris regarding the style and presentation of our wedding bands. Not only did Boris deliver, he delivered exceptionally, even though it wasnt convenient for him. We got our wedding bands ahead of schedule and we had a beautiful fairy tale wedding. Boris, thank you for helping to make our day even more special and meaningful with these rings.
As a former executive of Cartier on Fifth Ave, my standards are extremely high when it comes to jewelry design and quality. I cannot say enough about the three different pairs of diamond earrings that I purchased from Roman Malakov, NYC. The classic designs are timeless and the diamonds and colored stones are vibrant and very clean . I have worked with Michael who is extremely professional and very pleasant to deal with . I highly recommend Roman Malakov for all of your jewelry needs . Today I received a stunning pair of hanging Saphire/Diamond earrings that were custom made for my 10 th wedding anniversary. They are exquisite, and I will definitely contact Michael the next time I’m looking for a high jewelry Item for the next special occasion !!!
Great experience. High class, personalized service. Used them on a Zoom call to design a specific piece. Met all of our expectations and in a timely manner. Will definitely shop with them again.
I recently had a custom ring made at Roman Malakov and I am beyond thrilled with both my experience at the store and the final product. Meir, who helped me with the design, was incredibly helpful throughout the process and brought in a beautiful array of stones for me to choose from. It turned out exactly as I had hoped it would, and I had pretty high expectations. Will certainly be back in the future!
My fiancé and I worked with Boris to create my Engagment ring. Boris is an absolute gem of a man. He was so kind, thoughtful, and patient. He really wanted to make sure he created he something perfect for us, and he definitely did! Boris set my grandmother’s antique diamond in a three stone setting. He found side stones that match the antique diamond perfectly. I was really picky and specific about the setting and Boris listened to me and absolutely nailed it. I love my ring and I love Boris.
Boris and his associates went above and beyond, to help me design a engagement ring for my fiancée! From our first discussions on the phone to scheduling a meeting time, Boris was consistently kind, professional, and thoughtful as he walked me through the process. Boris takes customer service very seriously. For example, parking in midtown is notoriously bad and Boris asked one of the staff to make sure my vehicle avoided tickets or being towed.During our appointment, Boris took his time to settle us in his business, showing us his work, and calmly walked us through ring design. Not only did he help me stay in budget, the ring exceeded my expectations. We are thrilled with it and excited to continue working with him for all our jewelry needs.
Working with Boris to design and craft my brides custom wedding and engagement rings was an absolutely wonderful experience! Not only did both rings come out more stunning and perfect than either of us could have imagined, but Boris never once hesitated to go absolutely above and beyond for us with his kindness and wonderful spirit. For anyone wishing for a truly personal and one of a kind experience in a jeweler, Roman Malakov Diamonds is the place to find it.
Ive worked with Boris from Roman Malakov on multiple occasions over the years and he is exceptional. He has been my go-to for any special item (diamond studs, eternity band, engagement and wedding ring) and look forward to working with him on future purchases. He and his team are wonderful to work with and provide excellent customer service. I highly recommend them and several of my friends have purchased from Boris as a result of my experience.
I cant recommend Boris and the Roman Malakov team highly enough! Buying an engagement ring is a very daunting task but Boris took his time to really explain all the nuances attached to diamonds and provided a stunning design.The ring we designed came out even better than I could ever imagine and my wife absolutely loves it. The after care service is also outstanding, we can pop into the shop to get the ring cleaned and the team are always nice and friendly.Again, I can not recommend Boris and the Roman Malakov team highly enough!
I worked with Michael Malakov on two projects, one of which was replacing a very special ring that i lost in the fall of 2019. As the ring was a custom piece, he not only helped me find the right stones, but he was also meticulous in the construction of the piece. The outcome was really spectacular and i attribute this to his commitment to excellence.Would highly recommend Roman Malakov Diamonds, and working with Michael, in particular.
Shopping for an engagement ring requires spending a lot of time doing research and patience. I have neither so I took my fiancé’s sister with me. Boris made what I thought was going to be a brutal process very simple and smooth. He wasn’t a pushy salesman and he took a consultative approach to identifying what I wanted and educating me on the options. Boris has a ton of experience, which is apparent when you speak with him. The only thing better than the high level of customer service and professionalism that Boris provided was the beautiful custom ring that was made for my fiancé. She loves it and she has already gotten tons of compliments (which makes me look very good btw). Not only would I highly recommend his services, I know that this is the beginning of a long relationship. I can’t wait to go back and purchase wedding bands.
Had a great experience! Boris is very knowledgeable and helpful. He made us a great ring exactly how we wanted it and in a very timely manner. It was a pleasure working with him to make the design perfect and he kept us updated on the progress. I had been popping in and out of stores and just didn’t get a good vibe until I talked to Boris. He made us feel comfortable, gave us a lot of information, and made us a beautiful ring. High recommend!
I cant say enough good things about Roman Malakov Diamonds. I was looking for an engagement ring, and the task looked overwhelming, until I got in touch with Michael Malakov, who was very diligent and helpful, and took the time to help me design the engagement ring that I was looking for. He offered a very reasonable price, was upfront and very communicative, and kept me posted about the entire process. Finally, when the ring arrived, it was beautiful and my fiance was ecstatic about it. I will definitely be returning here for all my future needs.
I spent a couple months looking the perfect engagement ring. I looked in jewelry stores and online trying to find exactly what my fiance described to me. I walked into Roman Malakov on a whim, just to browse a bit, and started describing to Boris what I wanted. He found a band that was close to what I wanted and then offered to customize it to give me exactly what I was looking for. He also brought out a selection of center stones, and I found just what I was looking for. The ring was finished very quickly, and I proposed to my fiance the same day. Recently, she and I went back to look at wedding bands, as we wanted hers to complement the engagement ring perfectly. We found a few contenders, and Boris helped to explain the benefits and drawbacks to the items we were considering. Ultimately, he recommended a less expensive option for the wedding band, as it was a better fit with the engagement ring. Ill definitely be back on our first anniversary to find that perfect gift!
Highly recommend! Meir and the Roman Malakov team are outstanding, and I can not thank them enough for the beautiful custom design they were able to make. They were honest, consultative, and very fair through the entire process. I brought them an idea, with a few pictures. They recommended a stone that was better than I had imagined, and set the stone exactly how I asked with fantastic attention to detail. I will absolutely be a long time customer, and refer them to anyone that I can!
Literally so thankful that I found this gem of a place randomly. After having exhausted all other options in the diamond district and frustrated by the quality I had seen everywhere else, I luckily found Boris! I needed my ring’s diamond set into a very specific setting due to some poor craftsmanship by another jeweler. The moment I saw the Malakov designs and spoke to Boris, I knew there was no one else who could bring this ring to life. I felt so reassured speaking to him and even gave him a tight time constraint, but he came through with everything he promised and more. He customized the ring with me according to every intricate detail I wanted, had it completed a week ahead of the deadline, and seriously blew my mind with the end result. The ring looks so beautiful that I almost cried when I saw it. A diamond is nothing without the right setting, and Boris is a jewels magician. His precision and quality speaks for itself. Can’t thank you enough, Boris!Highly recommend. You won’t regret it.
Want it to take a moment and thank Mr. Boris Malakov for helping us to find perfect wedding bends. He did a great job. We highly recommend this jewelry store. Very professional very precise. Me and my partner are more than satisfied. Thank you once again.
If you are in the market for an exquisite piece of jewelry, look no further! This is the place for you. My fiancé worked with Boris to design the most beautiful engagement ring. We loved his work so much that we will be going back for the wedding bands! Their work is impeccable and with high quality materials. They are very professional, trustworthy, friendly and quick.
Love this place! They made my engagement ring, wedding band and a new ring that I just recently customized with them to pass down to my daughter when she is older. All of their diamonds are beautiful and top of the line. You cannot get better quality anywhere else and the pricing is very fair! If you dont see anything you like on their site or in-store, they are more than happy to customize something for you. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.
I went to Roman Malakov based on a friends recommendation to get an engagement ring. It turned out another friend had been there too and was also very pleased.I dealt with Boris throughout and the first thing that struck me was that he was very friendly, but no-nonsense. There was an understated sense of quality that is lacking at other places on the street who have salespeople on the street trying to pull you inside.Boris was thorough in explaining the way that the industry measures quality, as well as guiding me through the different levels of clarity and colour. I wanted to be sure of my ring so I had a friend of my fiancee take her there to look at the rings for fun. Boris was smooth and didnt give the game away and got the size of her ring.The price was great, and they were very flexible on timing to accommodate my needs to get the proposal done on the weekend I was aiming for. Everything went great, though the ring needed a minor adjustment, which they took care of also.I would highly recommend this store, and not just for engagement rings. The trust I built during this process would take me back again and again. Thanks!!
From start to finish, Boris was incredibly helpful and patient. He was an expert guide, the process was transparent and the resulting ring was ... AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!
My wife and I purchased a pair of diamond earrings from the store in New York. Michael was extremely helpful and patient during the process and delivered an excellent set at a fair price. Will definitely return for future purchases and would highly recommend.Edit: We were so happy with the diamonds earrings we went back for a custom ring. The process was friendly and professional. We were completely blown away by the quality and how well they fit what we were looking for, despite communicating over FaceTime and email exclusively.
Purchased an engagement ring here after many hours of research and considering ~10 competitors including diamond district peers, out of state shops, and online vendors. I selected Roman Malakov because they had the best blend of quality craftsmanship, customer service, experience, diamond inventory, and competitive prices. My fiancee is thrilled with the ring and so am I. Boris was a gentleman throughout the process and I am very pleased with my decision in all regards. Highly recommended.
My husband and I bought our wedding bands and have had such great experiences with Boris. Our rings (which were very reasonably priced) arrived in a beautiful box that has a light and really accents the diamonds on my band. Boris also doesn’t mind that I stop by and ask him to clean my rings probably a little too frequently. He’s really the best!
I honestly can’t say enough about my experience with Roman Malakov and more specifically the one on one with Michael. I’m a very skeptical shopper and was very wary about shopping for an engagement ring. When I walked in Michael sat with me and I told him the idea I had in mind and let him know that I didn’t want to commit to anything right away. He said he understood and took everything I had under consideration and let me know that he was there to build a relationship and not to push anything onto me that I didn’t want. Needless to say I was impressed by this.After exchanging emails back and forth and one more trip to the store he showed me the perfect diamond that was within my range. When I saw it I knew I had to get it. My girlfriend had sent me pictures of rings that she wanted, I discussed this with Michael and said that I wanted to come up with a ring that combined the details of these pictures. Michael then sent me a rendering of what I had described, although it was great I told him that it wasn’t exactly what I had in mind and I asked for another rendering of the split shank ring. He understood and the final rendering looked pretty good but I admit it required some imagination. Although I was apprehensive Michael talked me through and assured that it would be a great ring.Michael sent me pictures of the final product and told me that it looked even better in person. When I came into the store to see it all apprehension and caution dissipated and I was amazed. It looked great, it felt right and I was happy.Thanks to Roman Malakov and Michael for making my special occasion great and giving me a treasure that will stay with me and my wife to be forever. I could not recommend them enough.
Meir was extremely helpful in the engagement ring purchase process. My fiance loved the design and quality of the ring. At no time did i feel pressured, but every conversation was very informative. I will definitely go back again for other jewelry purchases in the future.
I just wants to share I have being a customer for over 9 years of Roman Malakov Diamonds .I meet Michael many years ago since we meet I have being a customer .He is very talented and very creative to make all my especial requests of making my Jewelry.It feels like a family from the first day I went to his place.He made a engagement ring for my friend and all she gets is good compliments of how beautiful the ring is .And I get so many beautiful complements daily on all the pieces he made for me over the years .I wont go to any place else to buy new jewelry.Thanks Michael and his team for all your professionalism.
Boris is really great, he helped me to choose and redesign a fantastic necklace set for my wedding with generous discount. I will definitely recommend this store!
As soon as I walked into the shop, the vibe from the busy diamond district streets changed and gave me a good feeling about Roman Malakov Diamonds right away. Once we began looking at options, Boris made the experience of buying my wedding band not only easy, but fun and so much more special. He made us feel so well cared for by remembering small details and has years of experience that made us feel confident in the quality of our purchase. I can’t wait to look down and enjoy my beautiful ring for years with this memory in mind.Thank you so much!
Boris and the team at Roman Malakov listen to what you want and execute beautifully! I created my custom wedding band and had my own vision which came to life! I trust this team and would recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, friendly, quality jeweler. Also fair in price, not pushy, and will ensure youre getting the best item for your price.
They have unique and simple design for jewelry...which was exactly what we wanted. Saved a lot of time on looking because of that, so worth the money.And Boris is nice and helpful in all sorts, rushed the procedure and everything for us. Talking to him feels easy and comfortable, recommend to all.
I am so thankful for Michael at Roman Malakov Diamonds. I use to work in a jewelry store back in college, but this company blew my expectations out of the water. My ring came out so much better than I imagined. The engraving is perfect. The prongs are sharp. I am so thankful for how perfect this engagement was. Highly recommend them to everyone!
Highly recommend Roman and Boris! My fiance had a great experience working with them. I have since been to have my ring polished and it looks fantastic. They are very thorough and trustworthy. Will be going back for our wedding bands and look forward to continue to work with them.
Highly recommend working with Boris at Roman Malakov! I first met Boris + team over a year ago when a friend suggested I visit them to resize my engagement ring (family heirloom). They did a terrific job resizing AND fixing the setting when my stone came loose AND polishing the ring. A year later when my husband and I were looking at wedding bands I remembered the great experience I had with Boris and revisited. I shopped around for eternity style womens wedding bands and didnt find anything that came close to the style, quality, or price offered here. They custom made my ring and I absolutely love it. Boris also engraved my band AND my husbands band (purchased elsewhere) beautifully. Overall, received excellent, friendly service and got a beautiful ring I will cherish forever. Thank you Boris!!!
My fiance and I bought our wedding bands from this jeweler and they have been fantastic to work with every step of the way! Buying a diamond can be a stressful experience, but we worked with Ronnie at Roman Malakov Diamonds and he was incredibly patient and knowledgeable the entire time. Their service is excellent and their style is impeccable, similar to high end designer jewelers, but at reasonable prices. I highly recommend Ronnie and his team in the diamond district - they are the best!
My fiancé and I searched the diamond district and the Malakov window showed they had very beautiful unique jewelry that stood out above the others. We met with a Michael Malakov and he designed and had made a custom ring that was gorgeous beyond any hopes we had had. A pure pleasure to be so well treated and understood.
We were recommended to go to Roman Malakov Diamonds from a friend of ours who bought all her rings from Boris. Boris was absolutely fantastic making my engagement ring. It is more than I could ever imagine, it is perfect! We left with an engagement ring and our wedding bands! Couldn’t recommend Boris enough, he’s a gentleman and a fantastic craftsman. We will be back!
After spending countless hours searching for an engagement ring at Tiffany’s and other big box jewelers for a large round cut sapphire in a minimalist setting, my husband came to Boris at Roman Malakov Diamonds. Boris created a minimalist design that ultimately became the center piece of my wedding set. The stones used in this custom piece are of the highest quality with the center sapphire set perfectly for maximum sparkle. Roman Malakov Diamonds also designed both of our wedding bands to our exact wishes and they could not be more perfect. Boris and the rest of the staff were fantastic about addressing all our questions on care and cleaning of our jewelry. We have taken several other pieces to them for modification and they have consistently delivered exceptional work and craftsmanship. There location is gorgeous with a stunning collection of stones and settings. If you are in the market or just need a master jeweler, go see Boris at Roman Malakov Diamonds.
Greatest Place ever! They are so hospitable and welcoming when you walk in, it feels like you are home. I truly appreciate Michael for all his effort. As a teacher looking to get married my price of a ring is very stretched. Not only did he cater to everyone of my needs he really help you choose the right ring within you budget. Please check this place out you will not be disappointed!
My wife and I bought our wedding rings and her engagement ring from Boris. Boris came highly recommended and was great throughout the process. I believe the most important trait in a jeweler is finding someone you can trust, because, as a layperson, I need to rely on my jeweler to be fair and honest absent my own personal expertise. I feel that Boris is very trustworthy, based on my own personal experience as well as the long line of personal recommendations I received. You are in good hands here.
While shopping for wedding rings, my fiance and I made our first stop here. Our guard was up and we were wary upon entering the store, as many shopper might be at the beginning of the ring journey. Even though (I assume) we were not the biggest sale the store would make that day as our tastes are relatively clean and simple, we were made to feel important and cared for. They were patient, informative, easy going and open regarding any questions we had. I believe relationships are important when making meaningful purchases and I look forward to building on ours with this jeweler in the future. Would recommend this store to anyone in the market. Thanks for the great experience and taking the time Boris!
I bought my engagement ring with Boris help and couldnt be happier! He was patient and answered my millions of questions. I thought I wanted to get my ring custom made, but I ended up finding the perfect ring ready made at Roman Malakov. (They also do custom rings)! Theyre great at working with all budgets and make sure everything is great quality. You dont need to worry about getting ripped off! I cant wait to go back for our wedding rings...and earrings...and bracelets...and basically all other jewelry I plan on buying moving forward!
Extremely happy and excited to wear my 7.26 carat Aquamarine set in 18k White Gold surrounded by .25 carats of Diamond. My husband and I have been customers of Roman Malakov Diamonds for over 20 years. We met with Boris a little over 2 weeks ago to discuss the design of this ring. He offered great suggestions and oversaw the project from start to finish! We could not be more pleased with the final product. Thank you!
Boris and his team are fantastic! He did an amazing job resizing my engagement ring on short notice -- got it back to me the same day! And he threw in a beautiful polishing. I came back in for an appraisal and some questions about other jewelry I had and he was so helpful and walked me through everything. Good, sweet, professional people here.
Outstanding customer service. Everyone was extremely patient, helpful, and educated me and my fiance about the different options before helping us design the perfect wedding band for us. They worked within our budget, they never pushed any items on us we didnt want, and they were honest about what could and couldnt be done. My wedding band turned out PERFECT. A friend of the family who has over 20 years of experience as a jeweler said it was an extremely well done job. I will be coming back in the future! Great store, great family business, and they offer the finest quality!
Fantastic diamond quality and service. I bought a pair of diamond stud earrings here and couldn’t be happier. Boris was very nice and helpful. Definitely recommend stopping by.
As an engineer, my husband is very particular when it comes to making an important purchase. When searching for my engagement ring, he went to multiple jewelry stores but the genuine service, patience, and quality is why he chose Roman Malakov Diamonds. Boris and his team are absolutely terrific when it comes to helping you find or design something special. This is also the reason why we keep returning for not only our wedding bands, but for other pieces as well. I continue to receive multiple compliments on my engagement ring, wedding band, and now anniversary band. Whenever I stop in, Boris is also always willing to clean my rings, and I leave with them looking good as new! We will continue to return for years to come. I always recommend my friends and family to go to Boris. You will not be disappointed!
I worked with the Boris and Michael with custom designing my engagement ring and wedding bands. They were extremely helpful and a true pleasure to work with. They were knowledgeable and provided excellent advice toward completing the designs. Since then I have used them for appraisals and maintaining our jewelry. My wife and I have been very satisfied with their work, service, and prices. We highly recommend Roman Malakov Jewelers.
I really enjoyed my visit to Roman Malakov. Meir helped us out to find the perfect diamond at an honest price. They totally customized it into a beautiful necklace, exactly like I wanted it. We previously bought diamond earrings with Roman Malakov - again with Meir - and Im super happy with the quality. They still look brand new after several years. If youre looking for a great service, honest price and qualitative product, this is definitely the right place to go to.
While figuring out where to find an engagement ring, I was lucky enough to stumble upon Roman Malakov. We were extremely lucky to meet Boris who went of his way to explain the significance of the diamond and how to properly shop for one. My girlfriend (now fiance) was able to create the ring of her dreams and the expression on her face as she received it is forever etched in my mind. Thank you for making my/our dreams come true! We will definitely get the wedding bands here!! You are all amazing!!
I would highly recommend Roman Malakov Diamonds! I had the most amazing experience working with Boris to design the diamond hoop earrings I had in mind - the earrings exceeded my expectations - they are absolutely stunning! I explained what I was somewhat looking for, and Boris brought them to life! I will most definitely be back!
I was looking for engagement rings and was referred to Roman Malakov Diamonds by a very good friend of mine who has had nothing but great things to say about them. I knew next to nothing about the ring buying process or how diamonds are graded, but Michael took his time to explain to me the key differences and helped me pick a beautiful diamond that fit my price range. He was also very attentive and helped me custom design a setting . Overall, Michael was a great help and I walked away very satisfied. My fiance and I plan to return to Roman Malakov Diamonds to purchase our wedding bands in the future. 5 stars!
I dont often write reviews, but I am happy to for Roman Malakov. We have now worked twice with Boris on two pieces, and he and the team have done a phenomenal job on both. The workmanship has been great and their flexibility in terms of customization and delivery time frames has been outstanding. I would highly recommend them.
It is very refreshing to be in the diamond district of NYC only to discover a business that holds to the highest standard of integrity and quality. The ring we acquired from Michael Malakov is his own design. It is truly radiant. The quality and value were only exceeded by the exceptional service we received. I give them 5 stars.
My husband and I first discovered Roman Malakov Diamonds when I was hoping to get my engagement ring reset. We met Boris and immediately felt so comfortable with him. He is extremely patient and precise and is excellent at translating your ideas into real pieces. We have since gotten our wedding rings from him, and each time he has understood our vision and created an end result that is more beautiful than we could have ever imagined! The whole team is very friendly and approachable, and you will have total reassurance that they really do care about how you feel when you leave!
I had amazing experience working with Roman Malakov Diamonds. I purchase my engagement ring and wedding bands here. They are kind and very helpful on explaining everything. If you are planning to get marry anytime I would highly recommend them.
My husband and I got our wedding rings and wedding gift (earrings) here and we couldn’t be happier with the service, quality and prices.I trust them 100% and would defiantly use them again in the future.We came for cleaning a few times and they were always happy to help!When buying diamonds you wanna know you have someone you can trust - this is the place to go.
Michael at Roman Malakov was incredible. I visited a dozen times sourcing the perfect sapphire, globally - and was welcomed each time like a second home. I’ve even gone back in since the engagement and they’ve been happy to help resize the ring. Can’t speak highly enough about this team and their approach to services without any hard sell.
Me and my mother went into so many stores in the diamond district but Roman Malakov was the most honest jeweler in terms of prices, cuts, etc. The store had very unique high quality pieces. My mother asked for a piece to be custom made and shipped all the way to the UAE. She received her diamond piece within a short period of time in a perfect condition. Additionally, they are so open to consultation on any pieces.
I am a 100% satisfied with my first purchase. Boris was so helpful and honest during the entire process. I highly recommend this business.
Meir and his team were amazing. We bought some very special pieces for a very special occasion. Meir managed our expectations perfectly and made the experience so exciting. The finished pieces surpassed expectations and we have since returned for more Malakov Luxuries. If in doubt choose Roman Malakov, and be sure to ask for Meir.
My husband and I got my engagement ring and our wedding bands here. Boris always looks after us. Coming from Dublin we were delighted to have found Roman Malakovs its been a firm favourite with our entire family. We will never go anywhere else. The quality is excellent and Boris is a pleasure to deal with. Such a gentleman his knowledge is amazing.Highly recommend
Its a family affair. From uncles, aunts and cousins high recommendations, 18 years ago a gorgeous diamond engagement ring was purchased by my now husband. Six months later my diamond wedding band and my husbands platinum wedding bands to now, numerous pairs of earrings, bracelets and necklaces. Each piece is either created together with our jeweler, or I have walked in and fell in love. There is no pressure to buy, but honesty to help purchase. The warm smiles upon entering, to mine and my daughters upon leaving. There is no other place to buy your jewelry from. Diamonds are stunning. Great family business.
Michael was patient, thorough and very helpful in assisting us in designing the perfect ring. His ability to take care of everything in a timely manner was appreciated, and he did a great job of keeping me updated on every step of the process without leaving obvious voicemails so as to maintain the secret for my fiancee. The ring is exactly what we designed and we couldnt be happier!
I went to the store and I was beyond impressed with the customer service and the high quality of stones and beautiful jewelry that presents in the store! Highly recommend to go there if you need a beautiful and high quality jewelry.Elena
Ive dealt with Meir on several occasions since I first purchased my engagement ring here in 2014, and have been consistently impressed with his level of knowledge and service. I enjoy shopping around but always end up buying here. The quality of work is exceptional (Ive purchased both custom and ready to wear pieces) and Ive never experience buyers remorse dealing with these guys.
My boyfriend proposed recently with the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. He has great taste but he said Malakovs helped him with the process from beginning to end and could not have been more helpful or professional. Shortly after, I wanted to make the band a bit tighter - they added sizing beads and I had my ring back within hours. I plan to work with them on wedding bands and would highly recommend Malakov for any jewelry needs!
Recently visited this store in New York and had a fantastic experience. Ronnie was really helpful, showed us some great options and we found the perfect engagement ring. Would definitely recommend. Thanks again.
Got recommended Roman Malakovs by a work friend. Lets just say they didnt dissapoint. Went in with plan to get an engagement ring and left with engagement ring and wedding bands and definitely the directions for the best cup of coffee in New York thanks to Boris .. Boris was an absolute gent, no pressure put on us at all and worked to our budget.. Ring was made within the time frame that we were in New York and everything was perfect.. I must also say we had to get a band made which he shipped over to us and it arrived as expected and in the time frame he gave us.. Couldnt recommend the place enough and will be back in next time we in new York..
Friends of ours (from Perth, Australia) had recommended we visit Roman Malakov on our trip to New York. We were not disappointed. Michael helped us select the most beautiful sapphire and diamond ring. Definitely recommend Roman Malakov for their beautiful, classic designs and lovely service.
I have dealt with Boris at Roman Malakov for over 10 years and I would never go anywhere else for diamonds and other fine jewelry. Boris is as honest, fair, and kind as they come! and makes beautiful jewelry to boot!
My fiancé and I spent the afternoon in the Diamond District searching for the perfect set of wedding bands.As soon as we walked into Roman Malakov Diamonds, we knew it was different from the other sketchy storefronts and pop-up shops.Roman immediately greeted us and helped us find two incredible platinum wedding bands. He said they would be ready in three weeks, but we received a call from Boris less than two weeks after we ordered them.Not only did the rings fit perfectly, but Boris sent an appraisal over right away so we could get them insured. We cant wait to have Roman, Boris and the rest of the team help us with our jewelry needs in the future!
Boris at Roman Malakov has served me through several significant purchases over the past several years. From the beautiful engagement ring he made for my wife to every diamond and jewelry piece Ive bought for her since, Boris has been my go to guy. Honest, trustworthy and always the best value, I highly recommend Roman Malakov Diamonds.
So pleased with my first custom order I returned to have a single original earring duplicated and it too came out extraordinary. The staff are gems as well - patient, knowledgeable, prompt, and extremely professional.
This family business is a gem. The Malakov family provides warm, personal service and is honest and immediately responsive. The diamonds are very high quality at a price that cannot be found elsewhere.
I bought an emerald and diamond ring at Roman Malakov Diamonds and the whole experience was very positive. After shopping around the diamond district, their price for the ring was the most competitive. Michael Malakov took care of very detail needed to have a replica of the ring I brought as a reference. He delivered the ring ahead of schedule. Im positive my wife is going to love it.
We have had a wonderful experience working with Boris Malakov. He worked with my fiancé to design a beautiful engagement ring and was extremely helpful helping us choose our wedding rings. I had to get my ring re-sized a couple of times, which he happily adjusted very quickly for us. The quality of work at Roman Malakov is the best in the diamond district and we highly recommend them.
