Evidently I was in the 33% of purchasers that are male buying the ring on their own, that is with out the future fiance' or another friend of the female persuasion to guide their decisions. I wanted the ring to be something that I had decided upon. Through the truly educational experience, I basically readjusted my original assumptions as far as the 4 c's parameters, and ended up with a much nicer ring for less money than I had earmarked from my internet research. All that, not to mention that my sales rep Walt was a genuine good guy who made the entire process very enjoyable exclusive of any pressure whatsoever. I suspect Washington Diamond knows the quality of their service, product and price, so there is no need for typical salesmanship. Needless to say, I highly recommend them. John T.

Washington Diamond is the best around! They only have GIA certified diamonds and are great to work with. I really enjoyed my experience there and I was very pleased with the ring (my fiancee was as well!). We will definitely be back for our wedding bands.  Steve, 9/6/10

we definitely enjoyed working them. husband felt very comfortable with the service he received when buying my ring and we went back for our bands. i tend to be awful at making decisions and he was very patient with me. unfortunately we moved away from the area, or else we would certainly return for my stud earrings :-)  Hannah, 8/7/07

Hi Tom - I just wanted to follow up and tell you that the ring you made for me (actually, for Her) is absolutely stunning. In addition, I found the evaluation and purchase process to be very comfortable, even enjoyable. I felt like you were my partner in finding a ring that suited my preferences and budget. You didn't pressure me and you gave me your honest opinion. Your prices were competitive with my other options. All in all, an excellent experience. I'm planning to give it to her this weekend. I think it will be a big hit. Much appreciation. - Steve B.

I enjoyed the fact that your employees are salaried, not commissioned. At no time did I feel that staff was trying to push something on me. ..M.M.

Not sales driven, so it was enjoyable to do business with you. - very straight forward, no haggling and no pressure. It really sets you apart from the competition. ..J.M.
