***** 5 stars out of 5 *****
I got my fiance's (now wife's) engagement ring from Washington Diamond. I got to discuss with Tom D. and was highly impressed by his trustworthiness and honesty. I knew little about diamonds and found that he seeks to educate and help you make the best purchase without trying to be pushy at all. He spent a lot of time with me looking at individual diamonds. He is both professional and personal. I also checked out some other more radio- and TV famous jewelry establishments in the DC area, but I loved Washington Diamond the best for its homey family oriented feel and came back to make my purchase.
I did not know what setting my fiancee would like, so Tom suggested we get a temporary band. After my proposal, my fiance came back and we purchased the setting she liked with the diamond I got beforehand. She has gotten endless compliments on it (especially on how sparkly and shiny her ring was), and I couldn't be prouder.
For our wedding a few weeks ago, we really could go to no other place but Washington Diamond to get our wedding bands because we know we could find the right style and fair price for our purchase. We again got wonderful service from Tom and love our wedding bands. Washington Diamond also helped clean my wife's engagement ring and helped polish it, which is a wonderful service they offer for all purchases made from them.
We highly highly recommend Washington Diamond and will tell our friends, coworkers to go there for great service. People say that you have to know the 4 Cs (Cut, Clarity, Color, Carat) as you look into purchasing a diamond. Perhaps more important, I would add Character and Courteousness of the people you deal with, and Washington Diamond has both of those. Alex T. 10/25/10
