I came for a permanent bracelet and was so happy with my experience. Kali was so friendly and helpful with me making my decision. She didn't rush me and helped me try on different options. Her personality was so bubbly and I definitely would recommend this store to anyone. They had a great selection of chains to choose from whether you're a gold or silver girly plus the cutest charms! It was a bit pricey, but I think worth it! I've had my bracelet for 8 months and it still looks brand new. read more

Grayling Jewelry - Gold permanent bracelet - Jewelry Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Stopped in while visiting Portland and had a great experience- the shop staff were so kind as to help me swap out my jewelry. They have a decent sized selection of reasonably priced threadless jewelry that is still high quality and they actually include backs which my piercing studio here does not. I was super impressed and they worked with me to take the best advantage of their sale. Loved some of their non earring options as well. Overall a sweet little shop that I will keep in mind for future trips to Portland! read more

Have loved this business for a long time. Excellent craftsmanship and very helpful and fun customer service.

After further correspondence with the owner, it is clear that the satisfaction of her clients is very important to her. My wife and daughter's experience appears to have been a one off, and Katy took steps to find where the experience fell short and correct it. read more

Just got home from my appointment to get an endless piece! They offer bracelets, anklets, and necklaces. I opted for a necklace. They have a number of options for sterling silver and 14k gold plated as well as a few solid gold chain choices it was hard to choose which chain to get because they were all cute and so shiny. Aside from my indecisive nature the actual appointment was quick and the process was painless (literally and figuratively lol). I was able to browse around and also picked up a cutie middie (?) Ring. I've always been interested in wearing and styling rings on my fingers like the cool kids but it's hard to find size inclusive rings that are affordable and cute. I was happy to see that greyling went up to a size 14, and I'm sure they could make it happen for anyone who cannot find their size in store. The two people working were so sweet and I look forward to going back and getting more jewelery from this cute shop. read more

I had the best experience with Kim at the Portland location today. Not only are the pieces of jewelry gorgeous and well made, but the customer service was awesome. I purchased two sets of the flat back earrings and Kim went above & beyond in helping to get them in my tragus piercing. I couldn't have done it at home and she was happy to help. Also, today's Cyber Monday sale was great!! You can't beat 40% off and I love supporting this business. They are my go to for jewelry and the good quality works perfectly for my sensitive ears. Love their designs! read more

My daughter and I got matching permanent bracelets for my 50th birthday! What an outstanding group of people and an adorable, accessible location. They are even puppy friendly! We had a great experience and they provided a local lunch recommendation that was superb! Thank you for being so amazing read more

Stumbled upon Grayling via social media ad several years ago advertising permanent jewelry. Booked an appt although still unsure about how 'permanent' it would be. Two years later and many many many hand washings and gloving/ungloving hands as a nurse, the two bracelets I got are still going strong with no issues (knock on wood)! They are not as delicate as you would think. Since the quality was fantastic, I have since purchased many other items from their store with complete satisfaction. read more

My sister and I went for the permanent bracelets while we were visiting Portland. Grayling is located in a lovely neighborhood with plenty of quaint shops and some food spots. Our session went by fast. The team was helpful in determining the ideal fit. Getting zapped literally only took seconds. Very pleased with the work. Would consider swinging by for another bracelet if I find myself in Portland again :) read more

I happened to be in Portland for a few days and wanted to walk around a few shops before heading to the airport. I happened to see Grayling permanent jewelry store and thought I would pop in to see what permanent jewelry looked like. I was very impressed with being greeted right away by this cute, friendly gal who showed me around. She was very knowledgeable and while I was in there a few other employees smiled and acknowledged me. I have been in the customer service industry for 50 years. 5 of those years was working at a jewelry store and that was one of our priorities to treat people the way you want to be treated whether they made a purchase or not. I saw this in the staff and thier friendliness to whoever walked in the store. They had excellent customer service skills. Since I was short on time and had to get to the airport and had told the sales gal that when I entered but she continued being sweet and helpful showing me the different pieces of jewelry knowing that I probably didn't have time to buy anything. But definitely will be back to purchase some jewelry when we go back there in another month and that will be one of my first stops. read more

I was looking for some opal earrings, which I was having a hard time finding all over portland. One of the staff members texted me pictures of all of the choices and when I showed up in person it was all hands on deck creating beautiful custom earrings. So many of the employees helped give me unique options and made sure all my wants and needs were fulfilled. I really appreciated everyone's help, clearly going above and beyond! read more

I love my permanent bracelet! As seen in the photo, I chose a simple white gold endless chain. My boyfriend took me here for my birthday, which took a little preplanning on his part to coordinate the white gold. They do a great job providing detailed information on how to go about scheduling an appointment depending on if you prefer silver, gold or white gold. It's a bit to read, but it does clarify the entire process and ensures availability of your preferred chains. They recommend contacting them in advance if you have specific white gold interest as it's not something they keep large stock of. My boyfriend shared that Kate was really helpful in planning my visit, easy to communicate with via text, and wanted to ensure I enjoyed my birthday surprise. He had ordered two separate white gold bracelets for me to select one of or both. I preferred to start out with the small simplistic design, knowing I can always add another laying piece later. I live an active lifestyle, workout (sweat) regularly, and wanted to make sure a permanent bracelet didn't hinder any of my activities or bother me before I add another layer. I've only had it for two days now but so far, I love it, and don't see it getting in the way at all. I may or may not add another laying piece to my bracelet in the future, but am considering adding a simple permanent necklace in the very near future. This was a great gift! I'd definitely recommend. read more

Grayling Jewelry - Permanent bracelet (white gold) - Jewelry Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Love this shop! Both the jewelry and the store have a simple, modern clean vibe. The jewelry is displayed like art along the walls and on tables against clean white walls making it easy to peruse the selection without distraction. There are beautiful pieces in all price ranges making it easy for anyone to pick up a treasure. They will even customize pieces for you. I drool over all of the chains and materials in the "workshop" area behind the counter where you can watch "New Jewelry Made Everyday" which is also the sign out front. While most pieces are not sterling, they are nickel free so anyone can wear them and it keeps the price point down. Many necklaces are 34" long and you can wear them doubled up so they fall along your collarbone or wear them long giving you versatility; they call this style convertible. Love. Most styles come in shiny silver, antique silver or gold allowing you to have the piece you want in the metal that works for you. The sales people are friendly, helpful and not intrusive. This shop is on my "rounds" meaning I regularly stop by just to see what's new. On those days, I don't want a sales person hovering over me and they are usually expert at reading this vibe. Highly recommend this shop whether you are buying for yourself, a friend, your bridal party, your wife - you will find a piece of jewelry that the recipient will treasure. Oh, and they have a small selection of lovely candles and wraps/shawls also! read more

I spent $150 on an anklet that broke less than a month being on me. I had personal stuff going on and was out of state. When I finally reached again about possibly getting it put back on Grayling wanted another $10 per their policy since it had been outside of the 30 days and signed waiver. Then they ended the conversation with a great holiday. I basically wasted $150 on something that broke right away and I love that a Portland based shop doesn't really care about customers just their bottom line !!!! Mos definitely don't recommend permanent jewelry there!!!! read more

Really nice local jewelry shop. Classy looking pieces at affordable prices and the staff is always friendly. I ordered earrings from here for my bridesmaids and they were nice enough to wrap each item and also replace the backings for free when a couple of my girls requested that (though I don't think the original backings bothered them). They also offer a rewards program. Love being able to support this local business. read more

During these times, since moving to Portland last June, we have been trying to only support local, small businesses. I was perusing local jewelry makers and came across Grayling who are located in the Alberta Art District (an area we loved when we first visited two years ago, prior to moving!) I placed an online order and received my first purchase, a beautiful trio of gold filled stacking rings.. I have been wearing them ever since, 3 months. They are so special and unique and I love how they are wearing, and I have never taken them off! I just placed another online order for their delicate gold filled huggies and I can't wait to receive! You can truly tell when communicating with them, their true love to make and sell special jewelry. I have loved everything from them and plan on collecting fun little pieces along the way :) Definitely check them out! read more

Jewelry shopping AND champagne? Yes please! Best friend snuck over here earlier in the day and then convinced me to go back with her. They offered us champagne immediately while we browsed. Everything is made there and you can see the jewelry-making set-up in the back. And, they can make anything longer or shorter at your request. Best friend made a second purchase and needed the chain shortened. There was enough chain left over that they threw a clasp on it and she essentially got a "free" bracelet. I bought a lovely necklace and got a neato pair of earrings free with my Yelp check-in. If you're on Alberta, check this place out. read more

AWESOME! I don't know what more to say about Katy, her staff and her line of jewelry: But My Wife Loves It! I don't know how many pieces of Grayling Jewelry she wears, but you can probably catch her five out of the seven days of the week with something that they have created. The best part of it is that my wife can either order it online, go in person or attend one of there special events. If you are looking for something to buy your wife, girlfriend of significant other, I would recommend Grayling Jewelry. Also, they are locally owned, but all of the USA loves their creations. Support this locally owned business that is doing a damn good job creating their mark against those big conglomerate jewelry companies - Grayling Jewelry will be a name to remember in the future - GO KATY and the Gang! Thanks, KSD read more

I love shopping Grayling both online and in store. I like that their jewelry is locally made, and that the customer service is top notch. The sales staff go out of their way to help you find the look you want. My most recent purchase was the Kyoto necklace and earring set, but those won't be my last! read more

What a gem. A friend recommended this jewelry store and I was able to visit since they have reopened. The styles are unique and they offer ever size. I wanted a piece in another color and they were able to satisfy my request quickly. You will love this place! read more

My go to jewelry store. Amazing quality and many of their designs can be worn long or short. I love that. Katie the owner is so talented and welcoming to her clients. I find their jewelry is my easy go to when I am trying to accessorize quickly. I can't say enough great things about Grayling- go there and support this awesome local business! read more

Grayling Jewelry - Grayling jewelry now open at 16th and Alberta. They have amazing jewelry and the owner Katie is so welcoming. - Jewelry Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The store is attractive, modern and yet classy. My personal experience when shopping at this boutique is unlike any other jewelry store. The sales associates are intuitive to my likes and style- they themselves adorned with the most fabulous pieces made in-store @ Grayling. Nothing beats the in-store experience, but perusing the website is also effortless. You are sure to find a gift for anyone here, including self-love gifts! ;) read more

Visiting Portland for a friend's wedding and stumbled into Grayling because of their beautiful display of jewelry and to escape the sudden sprinkling of rain--I am glad I did! Did not pick up any of their jewelry since I'm usually too lazy to wear earrings/necklaces but felt very welcome in a 0 pressure way to try them on and could imagine myself making their simple yet elegant pieces an everyday item in my outfits. What I really loved most was the warm atmosphere and the friendliness--I received attention but was also left to explore and do my own thing. Walked out of there with AMAZING smelling candles by Voluspa (the Saijo Persimmon) and received a pro-tip on how to burn large candles effectively as I've never purchased long-lasting scented candles but couldn't resist this one. Lovely people and business. read more

Grayling Jewelry - Jewelry Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I can hardly believe the quality and accessible pricing in this beautiful, fun, practical jewelry boutique. I went in for some special pieces for an upcoming wedding. I bought a sterling silver convertible necklace with the black-silver pearls and matching earrings. I was willing to buy a matching bracelet and one of the women owners/artists talked me out of overdoing the matchy matchy. Who does that? The next time I came in was just a drop in to show my daughter (20) and husband the cool designs. We ended up buying her a simple sterling choker with two asymmetrical black-silver pearls. $43. Wow. So gorgeous. read more

These ladies and guys put so much care into their beautiful jewelry and the cute packaging they come in. I ordered a ring that was too big for my hand and the return and exchange was painless, which I always appreciate. Glad my friend, Allison, intro'd me to Grayling Jewelry. read more

Grayling Jewelry - Grayling - Jewelry Near Me - Portland, Oregon

A friend recommend Grayling to me and I love it! I had to write a review to tell others how great this business is. My necklace, which I wear all.the.time, got tangled when traveling. I called Grayling to see if they could tell me the length I had ordered, because when I ordered it a few years ago, they only sold one length. When I told the woman who answered why I wanted to know, she told me to send back the necklace and they would untangle it for me! Not only did they untangle it, they also cleaned it, sent me a cleaning cloth, and did not charge me anything, not even shipping!! I can't recommend this business enough. I have already sent a few friends (one local in Portland, who shops there regularly with her kids) and will keep telling everyone I know to support this business. Thanks again Grayling!! read more

The jewelry is gorgeous. They have a range of styles from delicate studs to larger statement pieces, so it's easy to find a gift here. The boutique assistants are very friendly and helpful; not pushy at all. Plus, everything is made in their workshop at the back of the boutique! Random Tips: - Katy, the owner and designer is often in the boutique. Say hi! - They also sell Voluspa candles (they smell amazing) and some greeting cards - Complimentary gift wrap, you just need to ask. - Closed on Monday. - Their jewelry is nickel-free, which means it's safe for peeps with sensitive skin read more

I have to follow up with another 5 star review. One of the pieces I bought during the holiday was for my mom who lives in California. She needed an extension for her necklace. She sent them the necklace and they made the process easy and quick. With her paying the shipping, they did not charge her extra for the extension. She accidentally broke a part of the necklace when she received it back. She reached out and they were more than happy to take back and fix for her. My mom spoke to me and could not rave enough positive comments about how helpful, kind, and understanding they were. She is coming out in May and made a request that we stop by the store to personally thank them and also see what new items they have. Thank you Grayling for taking such good care of your customers! Highly highly recommend! read more

I visited Portland in February (pre-Covid) and purchased a gorgeous ring from Grayling Jewelry. Upon returning home to California, I realized (through my decision not the advice of the shop) that the ring I purchased was slightly large, which I casually mentioned in a review to assist others in purchase size decisions. The staff at Grayling Jewelry contacted me about this and have gone ABOVE AND BEYOND to ensure my happiness with my purchase. They went as far as sending me a ring sizer to get the correct ring and are helping me get a new size. I couldn't recommend them more both for their customer service and the quality of their products. 100% recommend this store and will for sure be purchasing other items in the future. This is the ring I got in case anyone is interested: https://graylingjewelry.com/collections/gold-rings/products/woven-ring-14k-gold-fill read more

Grayling is one of my favorite Portland brands. Not only is Katy Kippen, the owner, fantastic and sweet, she also makes amazing unique, high quality items. I want to buy everything! Her stuff is in some boutiques, but you can also shop online or at her show room, which is so cute. The only downside is that my favorite pieces are $200+ but they are worth it! She also has a lot of great pieces for under $100. 00. If my boyfriend is reading this..BUY ALL MY GIFTS HERE! read more

Every time I wear my jewels from this place no matter where I am, in LA or PDX, I get complimented. I own some fancier bejewels and a couple turquoise pairs I wear out to music venues with jeans and compliments galore. Their studio in SE is cute and in the fabulous Olympic Provisions building so you can make a lunch and shopping date. Follow them on FB and twitter for sales. And I always love the thank you note I receive in the mail from Katy. PS I have lent many a necklace out for a wedding too to girlfriends. read more

As a stylist, I LOVE having the resource of Grayling Jewelry. The pieces are incredibly well priced and versatile, and they are the sort of easy "outfit makers" that I seek for clients across the country. Katy and her team are delightful to work with, and they treat everyone so well. The collection has something for a wide range of aesthetic tastes, but everything is beautiful. They are a super knowledgeable team, and they are never pushy. For handmade pieces that make getting dressed easy, Grayling is a go-to haven. read more

Husband surprised me with a necklace and earrings for our anniversary. They are so lovely. Mint green with gold drops and chain. The loveliest. I am so happy. Can't wait to come back and get more! read more

I am a big fan! Super nice and funny staff. Thanks to two years of sample sales and drop by's my jewelry box is starting to look like a show room. I am too short for the earrings that I covet, but there still are many choices that end up with a good home. Thanks! read more

Grayling is my absolute favorite jewelry! I love giving it as gifts and especially receiving it as a gift! I recently had the opportunity to have Katy create couture jewelry to my dream specifications. First we met to design the pieces together. After she created my jewelry, Katy met with me for a final "fitting" and adjusted my necklace so it is perfect for me. She also made me 2 bracelets and coordinating earrings. Katy and her team also adjusted and polished my friend's Grayling jewelry (that she previously owned) as a complimentary service. My friend and I are both thrilled with our final pieces! Thanks, Katy! We would definitely do this again! read more

I LOVE grayling and Katy and her team. My husband knows this is my favorite shop in town-- I love that Katy knows me well and helps him always pick the perfect piece for me. Her styles change each season, but I still love all of my jewelry. I always get compliments when I am wearing my Grayling jewels. The service is impeccable and they always remember me and stand by their jewelry. I can't recommend them highly enough! read more

Grayling Jewelry is hands down my favorite jewelry line. I've never worn jewelry that so perfectly suits my style. I was lucky enough to spend 6 months in Portland and had the opportunity to meet Katy and her staff. They are the sweetest & coolest. I have many pieces of Grayling and I am always looking to add to my collection. I buy Grayling Jewelry as gifts as well. Just yesterday at New Orleans Jazz Fest, I wore Grayling and 2 of my friends had on the Grayling pieces that I gifted them. Each time I get a package or a piece of mail from Grayling, I feel as if I'm receiving it from a friend. That's how the staff makes you feel. Please go check out the new store! Next time I'm in Portland, you better believe it will be my 1st stop. read more

Grayling Jewelry - My favorite Grayling earrings. They are so easy to wear. I own them in 2 different colors. - Jewelry Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This review is for their online experience only. I haven't had a chance to go to their new boutique yet. I bought 2 bracelets for my BFF's to celebrate her birthday; they were huge hits. The bracelets arrived quickly and gift-ready in pretty packaging. I also feel good supporting a small business. All of Grayling's items are made in the U.S. Yay! Tip: Sign up for their newsletter to get the scoop on sales. You also get a special deal on your birthday, read more

The jewelry is under stated beauty at it's finest. Two years I got an earring set for my birthday and unfortunately lost one. I just stopped into the Alberta location and was so pleasantly surprised to learn that they will provide replacement earrings for half price!!! Wow what a top notch customer experience, I will definitely be back soon. Thank you! read more
