    I flew to New York from Chicago for 3 days with the intention of exploring the diamond district and all of the Instagram jewelers that I have followed. After day 1 I was exhausted and felt like the jewelers werenā€™t listening to what I wanted, and I was frustrated. In my notebook I had 5 places; prices for diamonds, and I rated the jewelers. Day 2 when I entered the diamond district I stopped in Roman Malakov after it not being on my initial list. Meir sat with me for 45 minutes, and listened to what i wanted. When I left to look at other places I knew that I wanted to work with him; if we could meet on pricing. When it came to decision time we met in the middle on pricing; and that was fine with me because I knew heā€™d execute my vision. Long story short in front of 20,000 people at the Golden State Warriors game in San Francisco I presented this masterpiece of a ring to a standing ovation. Definitely visit them, and even if you can get better pricing that doesnā€™t mean youā€™ll get a better piece of jewelry.

    My now fiancĆ© had the best experience possible with Roman Malakov. He spent two weeks in NYC having flown in from Australia and Michael was absolutely brilliant. He was so genuine and honest in helping him pick out the perfect ring, going as far as making changes to the ring after the purchase all within 4 days. We couldnā€™t be happier! Thank you so much for all of your help Michael!

    I went to a few other shops before this one, and they all said they'd 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 you're buying, and also points you in a good direction. He'll talk you through all of your options and show you samples for each choice. He doesn't 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 you're getting an engagement ring, you'll get a beautiful box with it that even has a little light pointing at the ring.

    My fiancĆ© and I did a ton of research on diamond stores in SF and NYC with a specific design in mind for my engagement ring. We went to 5+ jewelers, some of the high-end brand names and some local shops. We were delighted to work with Meir and find Roman Malakov. We were scared of getting judged for our age, as well as budget but Meir was the only one that heard and understood what we wanted, and designed the perfect ring with our preferences in mind. We enjoyed the experience so much, we decided to have our wedding bands designed there as well! Couldnā€™t be happier with the experience and outcome. They will always be our favorite jeweler and will have our lasting business.

    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 won't go to any place else to buy new jewelry. Thanks Michael and his team for all your professionalism.

    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 you're getting the best item for your price.

    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.

    I honestly canā€™t say enough about my experience with Roman Malakov and more specifically the one on one with Michael. Iā€™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 didnā€™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 didnā€™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 wasnā€™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.

    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. Iā€™ve even gone back in since the engagement and theyā€™ve been happy to help resize the ring. Canā€™t speak highly enough about this team and their approach to services without any hard sell.

    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.

  • 5/5 Allie A. 2 years ago on Google
    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 ā€œthat is who I want to work withā€. 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 canā€™t wait to shop with them again.

    I am so excited to finally share my appreciation for the work that's been done by Roman Malakov Diamonds! We purchased both the custom engagement ring and the wedding rings from here! And I can't 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! It's 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!

    I had the absolute BEST experience with Roman Malakov. I entered not knowing much about diamonds, what to look for, etc. Boris was very kind, helpful, and taught me a lot. From the second I stepped in there, I knew I was in good hands. I provided them with a range of what I was looking for and 2 days later they had a handful of options for me to look at. The final ring came out better than I could have expected. My (now) fiance can't stop looking at it. And, she said yes! 5 stars- highly recommended!

    Mier delivered the most beautiful wedding bands I have ever seen! And he did it in no more than a week and going beyond our expectations. He was very patient and thorough in the beginning showing us various options, and then he speeded up the customization process so that we could get the rings in time! We cannot thank him enough for his service and I can't wait to go back, maybe for our first anniversary! :)

    I squeezed in a visit to the Diamond District while attending a family wedding in Jersey City. So glad I found Michael and Roman Malakov Diamonds. They were able to see me as a walk in, spent time with me to help me find the right "upgrade" diamond for my wife's engagement ring as we celebrated our 10-year anniversary. They set everything up beautifully... helped plan how to re-purpose her original 1 carat stone, how to fit the new stone onto the old ring. Everything was smooth and we felt like family. Great communication throughout all the steps of the process. Even in Florida, we consider this a relationship that we will keep for many years to come. Can't recommend these guys enough.

    Iā€™m writing this review on behalf of my NEW fiancĆ©, 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 couldnā€™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, itā€™s literally the most beautiful ring and made exactly for me. I cannot believe my NEW fiancĆ© picked this ring out without much of any direction. This ring is exactly what I didnā€™t know I wanted. I absolutely love love love it. Iā€™m so happy that it was a stress free experience, than you Roman Malakov. I believe that anything that stresses you out, isnā€™t meant to be. Iā€™m so happy that this ring was meant just for me.

    My entire experience with the Malakov family, Michael in particular, was stellar. I went to nearly all the stores in the diamond district to find a jeweler to work with for my fiancƩ's engagement ring. Michael's professionalism and character shined through from the first meeting. He was incredibly patient and understanding of my needs and wants, helping me find the jewel and designing the ring from the ground up. Michael found me the most gorgeous emerald and designed a ring that had gotten so many compliments. On top of that, he was fair with his pricing and timing and kept my informed at each leg of the journey. I cant recommend Roman Malakov diamonds enough. Their entire staff was kind and accommodating. I felt that I could trust them with such an expensive product. I cant wait to come back for future purchases!

    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 helped me and my fiancĆ©e creating my dream engagement ring. We had an idea of what we wanted it to look like but were completely lost when it came to the whole process and construction. Boris guided us through it all, providing excellent advice and leading us with great knowledge and expertise. We had a chance to give our opinion on every details and could craft the ring throughout the whole process. Overall we recommend 100%! Thank you again Boris, weā€™re more than thrilled with my engagement ring!

    My fiancee and I got two fully customized wedding rings here. The service was incredible, the turnaround time was fast (beat the estimated end date by two weeks!), and I felt like I was truly valued as a customer. I highly recommend purchasing here.

  • 5/5 Chelsea X. 6 months ago on Google ā€¢ 5 reviews
    Boris was extremely helpful and patient throughout the whole process! He really tried to understand what we wanted and tried to provide the best options for us. We customized our engagement ring, and we even had to make a couple last minute changes, but Boris was always willing to accommodate us. We are in love with the final product! Thank you so much!

    My husband and I searched all of the diamond district before we decided to circle back to Roman Malakov - walking into the store the first time left a great impression and we immediately had a sense that we would be welcomed with a more refined experience. We were not wrong. Not to mention, RM also offered competitive pricing. Our custom design experience was a drawn out process that took several months, as I came in not being entirely sure of what kind of stone I wanted. I knew I wanted a yellow diamond ring but did not have my preferences defined beyond that, nor did I know too much about diamonds in general. Michael was very helpful and provided us with best in class service in each of our appointments. He was patient in sharing his extensive knowledge and explained the several grading criteria for coloured diamonds. Each time we met, Michael would show me something new, and through this iterative process, I began to understand what I was looking for and my vision crystallized. Once we had settled on a stone, Michael paid careful attention to note the delicate details I was looking to have in the setting. A rendering was generated after the design process was finalized, and the ring took 3 weeks to create which was fine as we were not in any rush. I must say Michael and his team were right on mark - the ring he created for me is absolutely gorgeous and is even more stunning than I imagined it would be. It looks like a work of art and the understated details in the setting were executed perfectly. I am over the moon and fall in love with it again each time I look at it. I am so grateful for the experience I had with Michael and all the patience, expertise and professionalism he demonstrated. It was an incredibly memorable experience - looking at stones through the loupe was a lot of fun! I cannot recommend them enough - if you are looking for a refined custom experience and a high quality end product, this is your place!

    We had the pleasure of working with Michael at Roman Malakov's to create the engagement ring of my dreams last December. Luckily enough we already owned the diamond but needed help resetting it into a ring that was perfect for me. When looking for a jeweler we could trust my mom instantly thought of Roman Malakov. She had remembered her previous experiences with them from decades ago and was quick to offer praise and admiration. I myself know next to nothing when it comes to diamonds and typically become quickly overwhelmed with options and details. I was immediately put at ease when Michael greeted us and walked us through the process step by step. He was incredibly patient, kind, and thoughtful throughout even going as far as personally escorting me to the GIA to get my diamond graded. Afterwards he followed up to make sure it went smoothly and to let me know I could reach out with any additional questions. When creating the ring itself his knowledge and expertise made the entire process effortless and most importantly incredibly exciting and enjoyable. I trusted him fully and took every piece of advice he could provide. He answered all of our questions and when we left the diamond with him to set we were at ease knowing he would create something amazing. Fast forward to last month and the proposal when I finally saw the ring for the first time. I was speechless! It was absolutely stunning and everything I had envisioned. I was and still am amazed at how it turned out but am not the least bit surprised after my memorable experience with Michael. Most recently I went back to Roman Malakov's to show Michael that I had finally gotten my ring (which he had made over 6 months ago). As soon as I walked in, I was immediately greeted by name once again reminding me of why I trusted Roman Malakov's in the first place. They make you feel like family all the while offering the finest quality jewelry imaginable. I have already begun shouting about Roman Malakov from the rooftops and I will continue to do so!!

    Boris filled the role of a really supportive advisor, not just a smooth salesman. He helped me stay focused on the vision of the perfect engagement ring for the woman of my dreams. We talked about it, sketched it, and then he made the imaginable come to life. Thank you, Boris!

  • 5/5 Jeffrey S. 3 years ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 Bruce G. 3 years ago on Google
    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 Iā€™m looking for a high jewelry Item for the next special occasion !!!

  • 5/5 Larry J. 3 years ago on Google
    Shopping for an engagement ring requires spending a lot of time doing research and patience. I have neither so I took my fiancĆ©ā€™s sister with me. Boris made what I thought was going to be a brutal process very simple and smooth. He wasnā€™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 fiancĆ©. 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 canā€™t wait to go back and purchase wedding bands.

  • 5/5 carl c. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great experience there. Boris worked with me. I told him what I was looking for in an engagement ring. He provided me some recommendations without being forceful. It was a stress free environment. It felt very personal. I definitely plan on going back to get the wedding bands at Roman Malakov with my bride to be.

  • 5/5 Josepf P. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely perfect experience! I worked with Meir throughout the entire process and was more that satisfied. This was my first time purchasing piece of jewelry, in particular an engagement ring and he really helped simplify the process and made be feel comfortable with my decisions. The best part was that he was not pushy and really gave me the space to ask questions and guide the purchase. I got engaged a little over a month ago and to say the least she was blown away by the ring and gets tons of compliments. Thank you for the help!!

  • 5/5 Stephanie B. 2 years ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 Miles W. 3 years ago on Google
    Working with Boris to design and craft my bride's 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.

  • 5/5 Cassandra D. 3 years ago on Google
    Look no further than Roman Malakov. Though I originally stumbled into this place on a whim, I canā€™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!

  • 5/5 Mitra J. 2 years ago on Google
    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 couldnā€™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.

  • 5/5 elizabeth l n. 3 years ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 Emily S. 3 years ago on Google
    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 couldn't 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!

  • 5/5 Rajiv D. 3 years ago on Google
    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 it's 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 purchased my wedding band from Meir and only have positive things to say. The quality of service and the professionalism of everyone who works there is exceptional. Would highly recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Alberto G. 2 years ago on Google
    The experience was top notch and seamless. Boris guided me in each step, from the ringā€™s basics to the final product, in a personalized and professional way. The diamond is beautiful and sourced by themselves, which made things easier. Malakov delivered outstandingly.

  • 5/5 Laurie M. 3 years ago on Google
    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!

    A Masterpiece of Love: An Excellent Engagement Ring by Roman Malakov As my wife's birthday approached, I knew I wanted to give her something extraordinary to commemorate this milestone in her life. When searching for the perfect diamond ring for my wife birthdayā€™s gift, After an exhausting searching for a diamond ring I decided to call Roman Malakov a true gem in the world of Diamond District in New York City. I purchased an engagement ring 10 year ago from them and that was extraordinary experience. I couldnā€™t visit their boutique due to being out of state, so the entire deal was completed over phone and online with Boris Malakov. I am thrilled to share my experience and review of the impeccable engagement ring Boris Malakov crafted for me. The design process was an absolute delight. Boris possesses an extraordinary ability to transform emotions and stories into tangible art. They listened attentively to every detail, ensuring the ring would be a true reflection of our love story. The attention to detail was remarkable, and they skillfully interpreted my vision, adding their own touch of creativity to elevate the final design. When I received the finished engagement ring, my heart skipped a beat. It was nothing short of breathtaking! The ring was an exquisite blend of timeless elegance and contemporary flair, a true masterpiece. The craftsmanship was unparalleled, evident in every facet of the ring. The dazzling center stone, brilliantly cut and perfectly set, sparkled with every ray of light. The surrounding diamonds gracefully accentuated the center stone, enhancing its beauty. Presenting the ring to my wife was a moment that will forever be etched in our hearts. The sparkle in her eyes and the tears of joy that followed were proof that the jeweler had successfully captured the emotions I wished to convey with this gift. It was a moment of pure enchantment that we will cherish forever. Aside from the remarkable craftsmanship, Roman Malakov stood out with their outstanding customer service. The entire process, from the initial consultation to the final product, was seamless and stress-free. They were always available to answer any questions and provided regular updates, ensuring I felt confident and well-informed throughout the journey. In conclusion, I cannot speak highly enough about Roman Malakov and the exceptional engagement ring they designed for me. Their passion for their craft, unmatched talent, and personalized approach truly set them apart. If you are looking for a jeweler who can turn your dream ring into reality, look no further. I am forever grateful to Boris Malakov for creating an engagement ring that surpassed all expectations and became an embodiment of our love.

    We had an incredible experience with Roman Malakov. Meir and the team were so helpful, insightful, patient, and kind throughout the entire process. We began looking for engagement rings with no knowledge about diamonds or the industry and Meir not only helped us explore the different options but educated us about all facets of the practice along the way. They were able to work within our budget and we got our dream stone. The final product is stunning, and everyone we know canā€™t stop talking about it! But beyond the ring, Meir made the process feel easy. He understood the stakes and was so accommodating to my schedule, my plans, and my budget. They stayed late so I could come in to see the final product after work, allowed me to break up the payment, and responded promptly to all my questions, no matter how dumb. I could not have asked for a better experience, we will absolutely be coming back for our wedding bands and all our jewelry needs going forward. I cannot recommend them enough!

    From start to finish, the process of creating my custom marquise diamond studs was absolutely seamless. Michael took the time to understand my preferences and design ideas, ensuring that every detail was captured perfectly and communicated with me throughout the process. I can't thank him enough for bringing my vision to life.

    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!

    My fiancĆ© 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 grandmotherā€™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.

    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 can't 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 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.

  • 5/5 Brian P. 4 years ago on Google
    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 didnā€™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!

  • 5/5 Morgan R. 4 years ago on Google
    If you are in the market for an exquisite piece of jewelry, look no further! This is the place for you. My fiancƩ 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.

  • 5/5 James B. 4 years ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 JDG 4 years ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 Dusan V. 4 years ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 Melissa Lee B. 4 years ago on Google
    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 doesnā€™t mind that I stop by and ask him to clean my rings probably a little too frequently. Heā€™s really the best!

  • 5/5 Alex L. 3 years ago on Google
    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!

  • 5/5 Avneet K. 4 years ago on Google
    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 ringā€™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. Canā€™t thank you enough, Boris! Highly recommend. You wonā€™t regret it.

  • 5/5 Dan H. 4 years ago on Google
    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. I'll definitely be back on our first anniversary to find that perfect gift!

    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!

  • 5/5 Singular Couture Sarah N. 4 years ago on Google
    My fiancƩ 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.

  • 5/5 Brad M. 4 years ago on Google
    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!

  • 5/5 Sai S. 4 years ago on Google
    I bought my engagement ring with Boris' help and couldn't 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)! They're great at working with all budgets and make sure everything is great quality. You don't need to worry about getting ripped off! I can't wait to go back for our wedding rings...and earrings...and bracelets...and basically all other jewelry I plan on buying moving forward!

  • 5/5 Mike M. 4 years ago on Google
    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!

  • 5/5 Charlene T. 3 years ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 Maddie H. 4 years ago on Google
    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 women's wedding bands and didn't 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 husband's band (purchased elsewhere) beautifully. Overall, received excellent, friendly service and got a beautiful ring I will cherish forever. Thank you Boris!!!

  • 5/5 Lindsay W. 3 years ago on Google
    I've 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.

  • 5/5 Micah C. 3 years ago on Google
    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!

  • 5/5 Henry U. 3 years ago on Google
    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 wasn't 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.

  • 5/5 Anne R. 2 years ago on Google
    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!

  • 5/5 Randy James and Ashley F. 3 years ago on Google
    Boris and his associates went above and beyond, to help me design a engagement ring for my fiancƩe! 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.

    10 out of 10. 100 out of 100. Google - you haven't 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 it's 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 I've ever worn". Diamonds are of the highest caliber, craftsmanship is impeccable, and the service - both in person and remote (I don't live in NYC) was exceptional. As far as I'm concerned, Boris has earned a lifelong customer in me, and I'll 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 can't recommend them enough. Thank you, Boris!

    Roman Malakov are the absolute best in class. My husband went here for my engagement ring, wedding band and a couple diamond ring gifts. Their craftsmanshipĀ is unmatched. Their attention to detail is noticeable in all of their work.Ā  I am very specific in my taste in jewelry and pay attention to even the finest details and they constantly exceed my expectations. I will never purchase jewelry from anywhere else. You know when you go here, it's money well spent since you're getting top of the line service and craftsmanship. Meir is also fantastic to work with. When creating custom pieces, he always understands what I'm looking for and executes perfectly. I never have any doubt that I'll absolutely love my piece upon seeing it for theĀ first time. They are true artists at Roman Malakov.
