We were referred to Washington Diamond by a friend who has been going to them exclusively for many years. The experience was fantastic. No high pressure sales pitch, just great customer service, great selection of diamonds, and great prices. I worked with Walter to design a ring for my fiancee and it blew us away! It was SO gorgeous and she can't stop staring at her hand :) GO THERE. They will not disappoint!Thanks to everyone at Washington Diamond. You knocked it out of the park!Don

Tom from Washington Diamond was the consumate professional. After scheduling an appointment, he spent time with me to talk about my needs and expectations from a diamond store. I couldn't be happier with the service, value, and service that they provided. Whether it was resizing the ring, cleaning services, or picking out wedding bands, I was treated with the upmost respect and care. All I can say is that I am so happy to have gone to Washington Diamond and I would whole heartedly recommend this place to anyone.

I can't say enough good things about Washington Diamond. My husband found them while he was researching my engagement ring through a "certified diamond website" that I can't recall its name. He said he had an amazing experience with them through his engagment ring buying stage.We went back to buy our bands and I knew immediately why he liked them so much. You need to have an appointment, be buzzed into the building, are offered a beverage, and then are sat down with a consultant. We did all our work with Walter. He was great! He worked wonderings with our pricing, resized my ring in one day (made an extra effort since we were driving in from 3 hours away).We live in Newport News so it was a trip to go - but definitely a well worth it trip. I love my rings as does my husband!

I bought a diamond for an engagement ring at Washington Diamond. It was a great experience all around - Tom Daube was tremendously knowledgeable and helpful. My only regret is not finding them sooner - wish I would have bought the entire ring their - rather than just the center stone.

Washington Diamond defines what a modern day professional jeweler should be. Expect warm but candid attention by people who know and genuinely understand their trade. Prices are fair to good on most pieces. Don't expect to get a steal at Washington Diamond; you will get knowledgeable jewelry professionals whom appear to deal with high integrity and offer fair prices. Highly recommended.

The group at Washington Diamond is excellent- very helpful, accommodating and really worked hard to find us the perfect wedding bands. My engagement ring also came from the store and it is perfect! I would highly recommend purchasing any jewelry through the store.

We worked with Walter from Washington Diamond for the engagement ring as well as the wedding bands. He was one of the most straightforward jewelers we talked to when looking for engagement rings and was very receptive and worked with us on designing the rings for my wife based on what she liked; as well, the prices were very reasonable.

Not only is Washington diamond great value for cost, but they are knowledgeable and so professional. Out of all of the jewelers we went to (and we even met ronnie mervis) the guys at WD put us the most at ease. They didn't try to push us on anything we didn't need or want. They listened to us and kept us in budget. We couldn't be happier with our rings.

I found Washington Diamond just by searching online, and I'm so happy I did! We had previously tried some other very well-known places in DC, but hadn't found the right combination of attentive, trustworthy service and rings that we truly liked. We worked with Tom, who was wonderful! He was patient, helpful, not pushy at all, and we actually had fun ring shopping! He was helpful and responsive even after the sale. We feel that we've found a trusted jeweler that we can return to in the years to come! We would recommend Washington Diamond, and Tom, to anyone.

I felt that Washington Diamond had the best setting selection for the price. Craig provided additional education on diamond color (he showed us how to see the yellow in a diamond on white paper), clarity & cut (sparkle), and diamond location. We weren't sure if we would purchase the ring here after our visit. Craig kept in touch with us via email to ensure that all our questions were asked. My finance later surprised me with the ring over New Years Eve last year. I was expecting it later this year. He ordered it in October and the ring was ready in 2 weeks. Unfortunately, Craig is no longer working there, but I would still trust any other salesperson at Washington Diamond and highly recommend this place for wedding/engagement rings.

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.

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.

My husband (then-fiance) and I went to several places to look for wedding bands and finally felt comfortable and satisfied at Washington Diamond. We worked with Tom and he helped us find what we were looking for and patiently kept track of which designs I liked and didn't like. He's very polite and not pushy. He also gave us a nice discount when the sticker price didn't match the current value of my ring. I have already brought a friend to look for an engagement ring for his girlfriend, and my fiance has said he wished he'd gone to look their for my ring. Make sure you set up an appointment before you go!

Tom at Washington Diamond is absolutely wonderful. He truly listens to his customers, educates them, and doesn't push anything on them. With Tom, you don't feel like you are getting sales b. s. You are getting the truth. Tom definitely wants every person who walks into his store to become a customer, but he honestly understands when, for whatever reason, someone doesn't end up purchasing from him. We got my engagement ring and our wedding rings from Tom, and absolutely love everything we purchased.

These guys are wonderful to work with! My husband was thrilled with their service while shopping for engagement rings and really liked their unique selections. Walter was great to work with for both the engagement ring and the wedding bands. They have a wonderful dedication to service. I stop by for my free ring cleanings and I'm in and out in under 10 minutes. A great value with wonderful customer service. You can't beat it!

I got great service from Tom at Washington Diamond. He offers his honest professional opinion. My husband did not get my engagement there, but I went there to get my engagement reset to match my wedding band. It was the choice I have ever made. On December 2011, I went there to get an anniversary band and I am very happy with my selection. You will not be disappointed when their selections. The price is fair. If you want a quality piece, you will need to pay the price. But I think their price is pretty fair.I have recommended Washington Diamond to my co-workers and friends.

They're not out to get you to spend more money. Tell them your budget. Get what you ask for. They serve refreshments to their customers.Every 3 months, free ring cleaning. Sometimes they have cleaned my college ring when requested as well. We love it.

Once I saw the ring I knew this was for my wife she was surprised to see what good taste I had she had to cry.
