This place seems approachable and quaint. A lot of nice pieces at all price points. However, when I asked to see a few pieces behind the glass the woman helping me literally raised the price of one ring over $200 more than the sticker price while it was in my hands. Gross who in there right mind would be like oh it's $200 more than listed, SOLD! I mean yuck. Maybe put in some overtime to fix pricing or stay quiet. What an odd way to do business. Spend your money elsewhere. This place is not worth your time. read more

Oro is the best! The staff is always so welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable. I have gone in to just browse or to pick out specific custom made gifts. I got my mom a bracelet here last year for mother's day and they made it quickly and nicely. It looked exactly like what I had wanted. Pretty affordable for the quality. I recommend this place to anyone who asks about where to get worthwhile jewelry in Portland. read more

This place is fantastic! I recently went on my birthday, and I spent a ridiculous amount of time in the store. There's just so much good stuff to enjoy. I spent forever choosing some crystals and stones, contemplating a major jewelry purchase, and looking at what felt like every single item, just for the sheer pleasure of it. The staff were super kind - - helpful when needed and also giving me space when I wanted to look by myself. The selection was fabulous. If you need a gift for a cool/hipster/woo woo person, this is your store. It's also your store if you need a gift for yourself, and who doesn't these days? PRO TIP: Oro carries small ring sizes! I wear a size 4 through 5 depending, and they had tons of rings in the size behind the counter. read more

They can make any piece you like with any stones you want and they'll finish them within a week or two. I got earring made with my birthstone for my wedding and left with 2 sets of earrings because they surprised me with one they thought I might like. Nothing goes to waste because they'll sell it in their shop if you prefer something else. They're unique because they'll sell it make gold crystal/stone jewelry when the majority makes silver. They sell silver as well but all the gold girlies? Come here! You won't be disappointed and their stones are ethically sourced read more

This was a fun shop to browse. The crystals sell at a higher price point than other stores in the area and they don't seem to carry any tarot cards. It seems like they sell more crystals and decor. It's a beautiful shop though read more

This shop is so beautiful and I always find the best gifts for myself and my loved ones! Their staff is so kind and I always feel welcome and at ease to browse for as long as I want to and they are always happy to answer any of my questions. There have been multiple times they have gone above and beyond to make my jewelry dreams come true and make the most beautiful custom jewelry out of beautiful genuine gemstones and high quality metals. Their pieces are all reasonably priced as well. I love that they support so many women artists and that it is a women owned and operated business. Any time I need a gift or a new piece of jewelry they are my first stop! It also smells amazing in there! Highly recommend anyone from or visiting Portland to come here and support local art! read more

My fiancée bought a pair of mini earrings for our elopement and loved them so much that I decided to buy my mother a similar pair. They didn't have exactly what I was looking for in stock but were willing to make them on the spot! Employees were very kind and helpful and prices were very fair. Great experience read more

ORO is an amazing shop! Every time I go there I find something that I can't live without and it is hard to choose from the wonderful selection of locally made and handcrafted gifts.

ORO - he baby - Gemstones & Minerals Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The store is beautiful but the people who work there are so passively rude and are not welcoming in any way. I have shopped here multiple times and will keep coming back because I love the soaps they sell but every time I come in here they have this energy like they are superior to everyone shopping in their store. I'm not sure why it would be this way every crystal girl I've ever met is sweet and loving but everyone here gives mean girl read more

This is basically my favorite store in Portland. They have an amazing selection of new beautiful things every time I come in. I love that it's owned and operated by a Latina woman with a staff of amazing women. It's so welcoming inside and everyone is always incredibly friendly and helpful. Definitely stop by if you haven't! read more

I love coming here to look at crystals and to admire the handmade jewelry. I've gotten a pair of earrings that were about $20 and I've also bought this beautiful Opal ring that was about $40-$50. They have great service. Usually saying hi to customers while they are coming in. I love the aesthetics of the store. read more

A friend recommended this place to me because she knew I enjoy crystals and it also happened that when I complimented her on her earrings she said she got them from Oro so clearly I needed to stop by. This shop is very cute and has many handmade jewelry pieces and a smaller selection of crystals. I was drawn to a pair of earrings and I found myself trying to find a necklace with the same kind of pearl. I couldn't find one with the silvery/pastel pearl but I did find one with a white pearl on it. I feel bad that I didn't catch her name but when I asked the person working if there might be a necklace somewhere that would match she offered to switch the pearl on the spot and even let me pick the pearl that would go on the necklace! That was so amazing to me. She also assured me there wasn't any pressure to buy if I changed my mind which was really nice of her. I sat on the couch they have in the shop and hung out while she switched the pearls. I talked a little with her and learned that the owner makes the designs and has trained a few people to make the jewelry as well which is so cool! I love that someone could customize a piece of jewelry on the spot I've honestly never experienced that somewhere before. I'm in love with the earrings and necklace and it's been a long time since I've felt so welcome in a shop. Thank you Oro for an amazing experience and I'll be back for more! read more

We visited this store today and felt uncomfortable. My partner and I entered and exited with the store without any greeting or acknowledgement. This would not be an issue normally but we were surprised as the White couple who entered after us and exited behind us were greeted each time. We are Hispanic and Black, this felt at the bare minimum like a microaggression toward us. read more

As someone who works in customer service, I have to say the staff is awesome! They take time to recommend home good products and jewelry, they take time to explain the material of the jewelry and stones too! If you are in a rush, they are happy to put some gifts together as well, all around fair prices even in this time of inflation. I will always recommend Oro to friends looking for a special gift or something new for themself. Also to mention it's a kick ass women owned and run business featuring tons of small artists along side their house line! read more

Felt very unwelcome in this store. Was looked at as if I was stealing and watched while they paid no mind to others (which by the way I was just normally browsing barely touching anything and came in with a means to buy stuff) . Seems like they racially profile as-well as they weren't looking at other white shoppers. Would not come here again. read more

It's very cute and lots of nice products but the crystals are VERY overpriced and there are other shops very close by with similar crystals for way less! But if you don't have a budget then I'd say go here! read more

Really lovely little shop with contemporary jewelry at all price points - cheaper pieces and fine jewelry and beautiful antique selections as well. My two fav pieces - a tiny golden unicorn sitting in a pasture as a small necklace pendant, and a snake ring in gold with a small emerald eye. read more
