I was very pleased with my experience in working with Washington Diamond to find my perfect engagement ring.  I felt very good with the purchase and my fiancee LOVES the ring - success!!  I worked with Walter and he was excellent.  I never felt pressured or like I was being sold or steered into something I didn't want.  Walter was very patient in working with me to understand the 4cs and how they may impact the finished product.  I thought the in-house selection of ring styles and settings was excellent.  In selecting the diamond, I felt confident that I was well informed on price and the quality of the stone within my budget.  The service was excellent, the staff kept me informed on when the ring would be available and they were able to get me the finished ring in only a few days.  After all the research online and visiting a number of area jewelers, I am very glad I choose to purchase at Washington Diamond.  Sean L. 11/7/10

Everyone at Washington Diamond did a great job at helping me and my wife pick out the perfect wedding rings. I had bought the engagement ring at another location, but we bought the wedding rings at Washington Diamond. We got married last week and everyone who saw the rings, thought they had been bought together because of how perfectly my wife's engagement and wedding ring looked together and how my ring fit right in as well. 

On the day we bought the wedding rings, we had been to about four places before going to Washington Diamond. Our plan was just to look that day, and not to buy anything. Go to all the places, go home, and compare. But Washington Diamond just blew us away. They did not try to force anything on us. They listened when we said what we wanted and what our budget was. They then didn't just try to force on us the most expensive ring within our price range, but instead really worked with us to find the perfect rings. Once we listened to everyone at Washington Diamond, and saw the beautiful rings they had to offer, we did not hesitate to buy our rings from them that day. Our only regret was that we didn't make Washington Diamond our first stop. Everyone there is very professional, they have a great selection to fit within whatever your budget might be, and they are very knowledgeable. We were 100% satisfied with all aspects of our interaction with Washington Diamond and 100% satisfied with our purchase. Without question, from now on, we will head to Washington Diamond to buy any jewelry we may need and we will no doubt recommend them to anyone we know who needs to buy rings or any other type of diamond.

My fiance and I bought our wedding bands here after my fiance had a great experience working with Walter to purchase my engagement ring. The engagement ring and diamond selection process was very low pressure and they had a great selection with competitive prices.

They also had a great wedding band selection and very patient with us as we made our selections. At no point did we feel rushed or pressured. They even encouraged me to come back a few days before our wedding to have my engagement ring cleaned for the big day! Karen A 10/12/2010

My husband had a great experience at Washington Diamond when he went to pick out and purchase my engagement ring. When it was time to pick out our wedding rings, we decided to go back to Washington Diamond and I'm so glad we did. We are very happy with our wedding rings! The gentleman we worked with was patient and knowledgeable. They have a wide variety of rings from which to choose and because you have to have an appointment to go there, you have undivided attention from a jewelry expert. We never felt pushed into buying rings that weren't right for us either. For example, though I tried on wedding bands with diamonds in them, I knew I wanted a ring that was similar to my mother's. I wanted a solid, platinum, delicate band. I would think that many sales people would want to push the idea of adding diamonds to it, but the gentleman who was helping us never did that. Instead, he helped me find a band that coordinates beautifully with my engagement ring and is exactly what I wanted. My husband's band looks like it was meant to be on his hand. We also got our rings inscribed on the inside and they did that very quickly and beautifully. We are very happy with Washington Diamond and absolutely recommend them.   K & S, 8/3/10

My husband and I purchased our wedding bands at Washington Diamond last year.  Tom and his team are fantastic.  Since we have come back to repair some old family jewelry, purchase gifts for a family member, and to purchase an additional ring.

Great selection and outstanding customer service.  I highly recommend anyone considering a jewelry purchase to make an appointment at Washington Diamond.  A.E., 5/16/10  Arlington, VA

My fiance and I cared about finding a jeweler that was educated about conflict diamonds and (obviously) did not sell them. We also wanted to use a local jeweler to buy our rings. Washington Diamond came up right away in our initial search.  Of all of the websites for local jewelers that we visited, theirs was the only one that provided clear information about what a conflict diamond is and how to be sure that you are buying a safe diamond.

While this is what initially attracted us to Washington Diamond, we had an excellent experience with the staff. The service was phenomenal, and they had a wide variety of styles to choose from. They offered lots of information and answered all of our many questions. After purchasing the engagement ring with them, we went back to buy all of our wedding bands from them too.  

I couldn't recommend them more highly. Washington Diamond is a socially-conscious AND customer-conscious business.  Amy M., 3/22/10  Arlington, VA

My fiance and I had a very good experience with Washington Diamond.  If we ever need diamond jewelry again, I am sure that we will go back there again.  My fiance spent MONTHS searching for the right stone and setting.  He said that Tom at Washington Diamond had a great selection of stones and was very knowledgeable.  Another thing that is great about this store is that they aren't PUSHY.  They also really work with you to create exactly what you want.  I have tiny fingers and my fiance had wanted to get me  two very thin wedding bands just like his mom has.  Although they normally don't make rings that thin, they came up with a way to do it right there on the spot, and made it just perfectly.  For my fiance's ring the one we ordered first came back from the company they got it from with a few nicks, they ordered a replacement, and again it had nicks. (note: they don't use this company any more because of this incident)  With our wedding date getting ever closer, rather than risk another problem ring, they just had their metalsmith create one that was very similar, only EVEN BETTER than the original ring we were looking at.  

Regarding the other staff, the ladies who work up front who answer your calls and help you out when you come by are just lovely.  They are very nice and quite knowledgeable themselves.  

And as a personal aside, I LOVE my engagement ring.  They are always happy to clean it for me any time I drop by, but even when it is FILTHY, it still sparkles like nothing else I've ever seen, and people always comment about how pretty the detailed band work is.  They did a phenomenal job, and we couldn't be happier.  I would suggest them to anyone looking for an engagement ring or any other diamond jewelry.  Vail M, 9/8/09  Alexandria, VA

Excellent selection, excellent service and very professional.   Christine, 8/3/09

This place is GREAT! A local place with top notch customer service! 

My husband got my engagement ring there because out of all the other places this was the only one that really had great customer service. I had to take my ring to get resized, and during the process the sales people were extremely professional and friendly. 

We had such a great experience that we got our wedding bands there!! The selection was great and again, the service was excellent!

We look forward to using them for all our fine jewelry purchases in the future.  K & M, 2/24/07

I thought you probably had the best selection of diamonds in stock of anyplace I visited... T.S., Wash., DC

Thank you for sending on this appraisal. It was a pleasure to visit Washington Diamond again and purchase two very special pendants. Washington Diamond is a very special organization and I am privileged to be a client. Please pass on to Tom and the entire Team my sincere thanks for once providing outstanding customer care and having a very exceptional selection of exquisite items which are truly treasured...Warm Regards, Jack S. - London, England

They have the best customer service, selection, quality and prices. And don't forget Tom who is totally wonderful. You tell him what you are looking for and the price range and he comes up with it on the spot. Every purchase is private and not in front of other shoppers. I wouldn't go anywhere else. by A Phillips

Great selection, quality and prices! by Corin Lee Akers
