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.

***** 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

I first learned of Washington Diamond back in 1994 when I was shopping for an engagement ring. The service was so good, that we got our wedding bands there as well. Since then, Washington Diamond has been there for us when I had them create a custom necklace for my wife and when we asked them to take my grandmother's cocktail ring and remake it for my wife. In addition to a couple of small pieces along the way, I just picked up a pair of beautiful diamond earrings for my wife as an anniversary present. The customer always comes first at Washington Diamond. I always recommend them to people I know who are looking for quality jewelry.  Dain W. 10/23/10

My fiancé and I just purchased our wedding bands at Washington Diamond.  From the outset, it was a great experience.  We worked with Walter, who had previously sold me the engagement ring.  He knows his stuff, is patient (when you are working with people trying on lots of rings that's important) and all around great to work with.  

Washington Diamond has excellent jewelry at a great price and is convenient to get to.  I come from a long line of referrals to Washington Diamond and did my homework (shopped around) before I went.  You won't be disappointed.  My fiancé is thrilled with her engagement ring and has received many compliments.  Once we add the wedding band in a couple of months it will look even better.  Jason T 10/20/10

Steve in Reston, VA: I recently purchased a pair of earrings from the Washington Diamond in Falls Church, Virginia. The diamonds were a gift for my wife for our wedding anniversary. I had spent a considerable amount of time looking for the perfect pair of earrings at the best price. I had checked all of the big brand stores in the Washington D.C./ Northern Virginia area and found that Washington Diamond consistently provided a better quality diamond at a better price, with impeccable service. Each of the staff members we dealt with at Washington Diamond was very knowledgeable and helpful. They took the time to help me make the right purchase and never pressured me. In addition to exquisite diamonds, their custom made settings were absolutely incredible. I am now a committed customer and will save a lot of time in the future by going straight to Washington Diamond. 10/14/10

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

Washington Diamond offers unsurpassed value and expertise. My wife and I went to many stores but Washington Diamond was the only one that solved our problem. She wanted a wedding band that fit snugly against her engagement ring. All the other stores said she had to get either an unsightly curved band or an equally unsightly dual band. Tom at Washington Diamond was the only one who suggested a slight modification that both improved the engagement ring and allowed it to sit snugly next to the preferred wedding band. They saved us 40% to boot.  -Andrew S.  10/1/10

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

I had had a lot of trouble looking for wedding rings because all the big chains seem to have the same items and all the boutiques seem to have the same huge mark-ups.  Washington Diamond was one place I found to be different - great selection at reasonable prices.  And if you can't find what you want there, they can make it for you.  Caitlin K, 9/1/10  Arlington, VA

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

After my fiance proposed he could not stop saying how happy he was with Washington Diamond.  After visiting Washington Diamond today to select wedding bands, I understand why he was so impressed.  We worked with Tom (the owner), who was very knowledgeable and patient.  He helped guide us through the process but did not push us in any way.  
I would definitely recommend Washington Diamond and look forward to working with them in the future.  Joanna N., 6/19/10  Washington, DC

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 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
