These unique rings are impossible not to love
A simple solitaire isn’t what your fashion-loving, unconventional fiancé-to-be is dreaming of. Their style has always been tasteful, but never ordinary — and the ring you propose with should reflect that individuality.
At Malka Diamonds, you’ll find a stunning selection of Portland alternative engagement rings designed to wow. Our ethically crafted collection features recycled gold, conflict-free stones, and one-of-a-kind styles your partner will treasure.
Explore salt-and-pepper diamonds, geometric silhouettes, vintage-inspired designs, and striking modern statements — all available at our Portland jewelry store or made-to-order in our in-house workshop.
