Last Minute Gifts

I am beyond overjoyed with how my rings turned out. I haven’t been able to wear my wedding ring for the last couple years because I’ve needed to get it resized. Unfortunately during the ice storm our house flooded, we got displaced and my wedding ring was stolen. 😔 Fortunately, I had my Grandmother’s diamond she passed down to me. I couldn’t wait to take it to Betsy to get a custom setting. The whole process was so enjoyable. She is such a lovely person. The communication was excellent. The space is so inviting and the other team members are wonderful to work with. When I saw my rings it truly took my breath away, and I got emotional. I know my Grandmother is smiling down seeing her stone in such a beautifully crafted piece of artistry. I can’t wait to pass my rings down to my daughter someday. Betsy and team, thank you so much for your passion and dedication to your craft. -Colie 🫶🏽

Seriously everything you want in a shop. Beautiful jewelry, great clothes, perfect gifts AND truly the best customer service all around. I love going there for anything and everything.

I am absolutely over the moon at the experience I had working with Betsy & Iya!! Not only did we work to do a custom wedding + engagement ring stack, but I’ve also purchased necklaces, earrings, and a dress at their store. After having a not-so-positive experience at another jeweler, Betsy and Barrie made us feel so heard, and created a design that ultimately blew us out of the water. They were very communicative and I would 12/10 recommend them to anyone who is looking to design a custom engagement/wedding ring.

I first bought a ring from B&I when walking through the airport in Portland in early 2019. I loved it soooo much. I've been wearing that ring ever since. So when I wanted another ring this year, I checked out their site bc I knew I could find something that was high quality and fine craftsmanship while also being unique. I bought their Colima ring this time and I can't say enough. I'm going to be wearing this everyday too. It arrived in a cute box, well packaged and with a little care guide. Today, I received a handwritten letter from them, thanking me for my business. I feel like that's going above and beyond and I appreciate their efforts in connecting with their clients. Thanks so much!

Betsy and her team used jewelry I own to design a custom ring that I love! My experience from the first team member who showed me the custom jewelry case in the store to my meeting with Betsy to discuss design, and with the team who communicated with me during production and pick-up was top notch and highly professional. Betsy and Iya's has a polished and notable business model, and their jewelry is contemporary and timeless. Check out their website and Portland store.

Wow! I bought an item from this store online (I live in another state) that that was offered by lots of other vendors but I could never find in a brick and mortar store. I chose Betsy and Iya because I grew up in Portland and like to give small businesses a leg up when I can. Not only did the item arrive sooner than promised a few weeks ago, I just received a separate hand-written note of thanks from one of the staff. I 100% will be doing business with them again!

Working with Barrie at Betsy & Iya on my custom wedding ring was an absolute breeze. At one point I think I told her, "This is a lot of fun!" From our first meeting, she completely understood what I wanted from my ring and perfectly nailed the design in the first round. She was friendly, personable, and communicative. But nothing can really top her talent. I am so in love with my ring, and highly recommend working with Betsy & Iya to anyone who wants a design that's perfectly YOU.

We found Betsy and Iya years ago on a trip to see our daughter in Portland. They were still at their old "digs" and we found their work very creative. They were kind enough to give me a tour of the their workshop as I had interest in their metal work processes. Their jewlery is ARTWORK. Truly creative, very reasonably priced and just nice people! Each time we go to Portland REQUIRES a stop at Betsy and Iya. Love this place love their "stuff."

I have been working with Betsy and Iya for several years, and when I made the decision to get engaged I knew there was only one place in Portland that could deliver a custom engagement ring that matched my expectations. My fiance is so proud showing her engagement ring to friends and family, and we were both so pleased throughout the process that we asked them to create our custom wedding bands as well! Truly a special boutique that is so much more than just another jewelry store. Thanks again!

The Betsy & Iya team are absolute magic! From the moment we stepped into the store, their team was friendly, fun, and open. We worked to design a wedding ring based off of one of their existing designs. Their team listened and supported us, all with expertise and thoughtfulness. It was truly a great experience and we look forward to visiting their space every time we are in Portland!

I am absolutely impressed by the quality of Betsy & Iya: they sent me a handwritten card (!) to thank me for my recent purchase and ask if there is anything they could improve. Amazing service, amazing quality, amazing delivery timeline and package! Will definitely be a returning customer. Much success to Betsy & Iya!

My partner and I had our engagement ring set custom designed by Betsy and IT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RING SET I HAVE EVER SEEN. Betsy and her team were prompt, responsive, paid attention to detail, and most importantly, designed the ring of my dreams that is even more beautiful in person than I could have imagined. They worked with an heirloom stone I had and worked within my budget with ease. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else for custom jewelry design.

The team at Betsy & Iya were wonderful in bringing my vision for an heirloom tenth anniversary piece to life. They listened to my story, took into consideration my personal style and worked with stones that had very special meaning to me to design a stunning piece the celebrates the past, present and future of my family. It was a privilege to work with them. Highly recommend.

The Betsy and Iya team were incredible to work with! I came in looking for a custom engagement ring for my partner and they made the process easy, transparent and stress-free. I appreciated the communication and thoughtfulness that went into creating this very special ring. My fiancé absolutely loved it and could not be happier. Thank you Betsy, Barrie and the whole team for helping to make our engagement so special! We will see you all again for our wedding bands ;)

My fiancé and I could not be happier with the experience we had with Betsy & Iya. We got custom engagement rings designed and created, and the rings are stunning and so well coordinated to go with each other. I was nervous about the design process because I felt like I didn’t know exactly what I wanted (I’m not a very visually creative person), but Betsy managed to create 3 designs that each spoke to me and I ended up with a combination of 2 of them. Thank you to the whole team SO MUCH for the amazing final product and being such an unbelievable joy to work with!

We had the most incredible experience with Betsy & Iya creating custom rings from heirloom family jewelry as well as new stones for our engagement ring and wedding bands. I really cannot imagine a better experience, more competent and patient people to work with, and a great value for what we wanted. If I could give them 7 out of 5 stars I would!

Our experience was great! Betsy & her team are talented, diligent, and quick to respond. In our initial consultation, Betsy shared that based on our wants we should opt for the less expensive customized process. I always appreciate honesty! We look forward to creating/purchasing more fine jewelry from Betsy & Iya in the years to come.

I’m not a huge reviewer but I felt compelled to write a review for Betsy & Iya based on the exceptional Level of customer service I received when trying to get my wedding ring to fit. I was probably the most annoying customer ever, coming in at least 10 times, & they were so sweet & accommodating every time. I finally got some adjustment beads to keep it from sliding around & it fits like a dream now! Thanks again for all of your help!
