Reviews of Market Street Diamonds

Kate Beacom

We could not be happier to have chosen the team at Market Street Diamonds to create our wedding rings. Their entire team is so knowledgeable and welcoming, you can tell they truly take pride in their work and it shows! We went into the showroom to pick out wedding band styles a couple of times and they were so patient and informative in the process. They worked with us to set a budget and make sure the engagement ring and wedding bands fit our budget, style and lifestyle. We have stopped into the showroom many times since then to pick up the wedding bands or get them cleaned before the wedding day and they always remember our names and make the place feel so welcoming. The rings turned out absolutely stunning. I have had my engagement ring for three years now and I still catch myself staring at my left hand in awe of its beauty. Thank you, Market Street Diamonds team for making the rings of our dreams. You now have customers for life.

I have nothing but overwhelmingly positive things to say about Dino and the Market Street Diamonds team. They are warm, friendly, professional, and truly deliver an amazing customer experience. My (now) husband and I had a custom engagement ring designed using stones from both of our families, and it turned out more amazing than I could have hoped and then came back to MSD for our wedding bands. We told Dino which pieces we want to integrate, provided some inspiration images for pieces we liked and then I said "I really love peonies and English garden roses." The ring he came up with is stunning. I could yell positive things about this design for years. MSD was fully transparent about price and didn't charge a design fee. We ended up with a piece that cost less than a standard "box" store with 1000x more meaning. Highly recommend. 15/10. Only thing I will say is that beautiful art takes time. This process took place over several months. I'm sure they would be willing to work with a more condensed timeline, but why rush perfection? For our bands, we had a custom ring designed to fit my engagement ring and my husband chose one of Dino's speciality men's bands that allowed for engraving on the bevel. They're stunning. Dino perfectly matched an emerald in my wedding band to the emeralds in my ring and engraved the platinum with a vintage scroll design...little did he know that my dress and veil both featured scroll lace. Perfection. Will be using them as our jeweler forever.

Eliza Noyes

Dino and the whole MSD Team were an absolute dream to work with. When we came in to discuss both of our engagement rings, Dino was thoughtful in helping us to take our time to think about what we really wanted. The end result was absolutely stunning for both rings. Maggie and I got engaged in Asheville, NC last May, and married this summer, and we still can’t stop looking at our rings (each of our engagement rings, and our matching wedding bands) every single day! We can’t recommend MSD enough for anyone thinking about getting engaged and wanting a truly unique and beautiful ring (or rings!).

If you're looking for a top of the line, reasonably priced custom jeweler, Market Street Diamonds is it. Owner and lead designer, Dino Lonzano, is an artistic maven-- capable of bringing my very specific engagement ring design preferences to life. His whole team was phenomenal from day one-- even before I committed to using them as my jeweler. His staff produced sketch renderings right in store according to my ring preferences. We discussed the "4 C's" of diamonds, band color/shape/sizing, and other stylistic elements. Dino was able to source a stone within my carat, cut, color, and clarity specifications, and below my targeted price. The final product was stunning and my fiancé was very happy. As a customer, Market Street Diamonds provides ring resizing and other basic adjustments at no additional cost. Dino and his team will help you create a truly unique, high quality, and affordable piece of jewelry. My highest recommendation. Customer service: 5/5 Design process: 5/5 Quality of product: 5/5 Cost and willingness to negotiate: 5/5

My fiancé and I could not be more pleased to have designed and gotten our ring at MSD. They set the bar (real high) for how a customer should be treated to guarantee return business. During our first visit, we met with Eva, who would accompany us through the design process and many questions. I brought her examples of what I like from Pinterest and Etsy and she educated us on the pros and cons of different stones, metals, designs, etc. She was mindful of our preferences, non-judgemental, and informative about: 1. diamond rating/classifications 2. sticking to a budget and communicating what kind of details on the ring would significantly add to cost (came out under!) 3. us designing the ring together but the proposal being a surprise 4. financing options 5. insurance options 6. timeline Before you stop reading: we SAVED money custom designing this ring. I went online to Kay Jewelers and Jared and was surprised to see that similar ready-to-ship rings were going for 2-4 times what we had paid for my dream ring. The design process was mostly over email, with some in-store visits, but I am sure they would customize it to your desired interactions. They make sure to give you all paperwork necessary to insure your piece and recommend a company with whom it is really easy to do so.

Jordan Morrisey

I had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Dino and the team at Market Street Diamonds. They were super helpful, clear about timelines, and accommodating of my desire to incorporate the stone from my grandmother's engagement ring into a new design. Honestly, I can't think of a way in which the process could've gone more smoothly. I would recommend MSD to anyone looking for honest, quality, professional service and great products.

Simon Philipose

I worked with Rayna on creating a ring as a "push present" for my wife to celebrate our first child back in December. Even during the craziness of the holidays Rayna took the time to make sure I felt valued as a customer and was given the utmost care and attention. I shared a few designs for the ring with Rayna and she gave me valuable feedback on each and helped craft a final design that my wife LOVED. Highly recommend Market Street Diamonds. I've worked with other jewelers in the past and they are head and shoulders above the rest.

Shea Hartley

I had no idea what I was doing. I had never spent any time in a jewelry store and I had no expectations on what jewelry shopping entailed beyond what I had experienced walking into a few stores that day. Then I came across Market Street Diamonds. This place set a bar for service I have not experienced anywhere else. Daria immediately greeted me when I walked into this Georgetown row house-turned-storefront. Daria spent over an hour showing my girlfriend different pieces of jewelry while asking questions about her taste, style, interests, and hobbies to guide her around the store. My girlfriend (now fiancé), who had had not shown too much interest all day at the other locations, was trying on half the store. Even I had fun. I returned to the store alone two days later and from there, Daria probably sank 6 hours with me working on the design and finding the right center stone over the course of a month. Of note, the stone I wanted was a very rare Alexandrite that Daria had to track down by making phone calls and emails to specialty jewelers when she wasn’t working with other customers. Just as impressive as Daria’s service and attention to detail, Market Street Diamonds somehow managed to turn my chicken scratch drawings into a beautiful bezel design with their extremely talented CAD team. And yes, they are the real deal, working in-house with an on-site 3D printer. And it did not end there. After she said yes (on a mountain in Patagonia) Dino, free of charge, altered the size and shape of the ring to fit her hand perfectly. Bottom line is, this place has a 5 star rating on Yelp for a reason. The MSD team is warm, fun, and happy to help bring whatever you have in your head to reality. I will be a returning customer for as long as I remain near DC.

Barbra Bearden

They resized and beautifully restored my 1920's era engagement ring and wedding band. They also created a custom necklace for me. It is so delicate, gorgeous and exactly what I hoped for. I could not have better things to say about the service, the attention to detail, and the artistry of Dino and his team.

Jennifer Dally

I brought in a pair of heirloom hoop earrings (85-90 years old) that were handmade by my great grandfather because the clasps for one of them stopped working. I wear them nearly everyday so I was really worried about finding someone to fix them properly. They fixed them within a few minutes and didn't even charge me for the service! Just looking around the store while I was waiting showed some of the most beautiful jewelry pieces I've seen in a while so I highly recommend checking them out.

Grady Mathis

My experience with Market Street Diamonds was fantastic. I purchased my engagement ring at their location in Georgetown. All of their staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. Dino was able to take my vision and design a custom ring that was exactly what I was looking for. Their team really cares about the customer. They took the time to consult with me for a design and kept me involved during the process. I would recommend Market Street Diamonds and I am planning on using their services again soon for my wedding bands!

Pete Petrin

I purchased an engagement ring (for my now wife!) from Market Street Diamonds last summer, and had a great experience! They were helpful when I shopped there in person, responsive when communicating over email, and managed to make adjustments to the ring with a quick turnaround to help me pull off the proposal according to plan! Thanks to Dario, Dino and the MSD team!

Jack Downes

I am sorry that this review is long overdue. I worked with Dino and his team in 2017 to have a custom engagement ring created. I was living on a remote island at the time but I still wanted to work with them based on their stellar reputation and excellent customer service. We did all of the design work remotely and I could not have been more pleased with the final product. I picked the ring up on a trip back to DC and it was perfect. My wife loves it so much that we decided to have our wedding bands created by Dino's team as well. I should also mention that I had some loose diamonds that I was able to "trade in" with Dino at a fair market value and applied the credit to my balance for the rings. Do yourself a favor and don't buy a ring until you've paid a visit to Market Street Diamonds.

Jessica Norby

The team at Market Street Diamonds is absolutely incredible, and their service is top-notch. My now husband and I visited Market Street Diamonds first, to look at engagement rings, and we didn't look any further. Rayna worked very closely with us to design my engagement ring, and we just love her! We also purchased our wedding bands there, and couldn't have been happier with our experience and with the service. If you live in the DC/MD/VA area, Market Street Diamonds should be your go-to!

Elizabeth Hung

Dino did such a beautiful job on my engagement ring! The ring is even more beautiful than what I imagined! He is so incredibly knowledgable and experienced. He even provided a 3D printed version of the ring and setting so I could see the ring but still have the surprise factor. I can’t wait to go back to Dino for the wedding band.

David Cooper

Fantastic customer service - they really make you feel like you're getting the VIP treatment. And the jewelry is exceptional too. Dino's custom-made engagement ring and wedding band for my wife are beautiful and unique. My wife loves them. If I needed fine jewelry again, I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Nils Persson

I purchased an engagement ring here and was thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. The team at MSD helps you design a custom setting, complete with a CAD model that shows you exactly what the ring will look like before it's made. I didn't feel like a customer so much as a collaborator, and the result is a ring that is unique and personal, not just the biggest shiniest thing that was within my budget. My fiance gets compliments on it almost every day!

Anthony F

I haven’t bought anything yet, but when the time comes I will always remember the owners genuine love for his craft and helping you as a buyer. I was so impressed with how the whole experience was that I will never forget and had to leave a review

A'Melody Lee

Thank you Daria for an amazing wedding band purchasing experience. You made me feel welcomed from the moment I opened the door. You cleaned my engagement ring so it would sparkle, helped me select between pave and plain bands, and took your own rings off to show me some more options. Then, you sized my finger and my engagement ring three times to make sure we have the right fit for the wedding band. I'm so glad I decided to come here. You guys are amazing.

B Dodds

My husband (then boyfriend) and I went to Market Street Diamonds to look for an engagement ring back in April 2015. We had read some raving reviews and thought we would give it a shot - but didn't really have any expectations for our trip. We could not have had a better experience. I thought I knew what I wanted, but was strangely nervous when we started looking at rings. The folks there were fantastic at putting me at ease. They took me through the entire store and had me pick out rings that I liked. If I still liked it after trying it on, it made the "top 5." Throughout the entire experience, the woman we worked with picked out options that were a bit out of my comfort zone so I could try those on as well - which really helped me to build my confidence that what I thought I wanted was actually what I wanted. At the end of the experience, the woman we worked with had me narrow the top five down to the top one, but also took notes on what I had liked about the others. She and my husband then worked out the details over email and Market Street made the exact ring I wanted that incorporated all the elements that I had loved about rings I had seen. We just got married and I could not be happier with my ring. I constantly get complimented by random strangers on it. I am sooo glad we went with Market Street Diamonds!

T S

Got my wife's band here and was very satisfied. Engraved my father's wedding band that I wear now, as well. Very pleased with their work and Dino was a pleasant person to work with on the ring design and fabrication - not at all pushy. Highly recommend his work as well.

Joe Morgan

Got my fiancée's sapphire engagement ring here. The ring is gorgeous and the staff was extremely helpful. We are also getting our wedding bands made here.

Charisse Furlongue

I would recommend Market Street Diamonds to anyone looking for an amazing piece. I recently took my brother there to shop for an engagement ring and the experience was beyond amazing. My brother and I didnt feel pressured to buy and the talked through every aspect of diamonds with my brother. Don't let the Georgetown location deter you, they welcome all people with all budgets. They really take their time to get it just right for you and your love one. Their jeweler is in house and every piece is custom, made just to your needs. My brother just proposed and she loved the ring! Thank you Market Street for making the process an easy one.

Andrew Bloom

Market Street Diamonds is undoubtedly the jeweler par excellence in Washington DC area. Dino is a wealth of knowledge about diamonds and designs and helped me to reach the right decision about my engagement ring. They produce everything in-house in the same building at Georgetown. They send 3D CAD designs, shows you wax designs during the process and make the custom design process comfortable and enjoyable.

Jason LoVerdi

The only place to go! For somebody who knows nothing about jewelry, they made the ring buying experience a breeze. Shauna is incredibly knowledgeable and worked with us to create the perfect engagement ring, and they do incredible work. When we discovered my wife has an allergy to gold/nickel, they were happy to re-make the ring in a different metal! I can't thank them enough for everything they did - doesn't get any better than Market Street Diamonds.

Scott Galey

Dino and his team at Market Street are top-notch. They continuously worked with me and my budget to deliver exactly what I needed and when I needed it. They are incredibly nice, patient, and professional. I entered this process with a lot of hesitation and fear in dealing with jewelers and the diamond industry, but I couldn't imagine a more straightforward and honest experience than Market Street. Also, the ring and products they design and sell are absolutely impeccable quality. Highly, highly, highly recommended.

Arya Seghatoleslami

Working with the Market Street Diamonds team is enjoyable. They make you feel very special and quickly become your friends, making the whole experience stress-free. I was in need of an engagement ring and Dino met with me multiple times to discuss design and specifics all the while staying within my budget. I never left there without a smile on my face.

Annie Miller

I had a lovely experience shopping here for a pair of earrings for my mom. There was a nice selection within my relatively modest budget, and the salesperson was warm and knowledgeable. Also, I have several wonderful pieces from here have been given to me as gifts, and I have found the quality and design to be exceptional.

Jason Goltermann

I brought in a mix of pictures of engagement rings with various design elements, and explained what I wanted to Dino. He created exactly what I had in mind, even producing CAD images before hand. My fiancee loves the ring. A fantastic jeweler and the costs are very competitive.

Angela Tang

Five stars all the way. My upgraded engagement ring (from another jeweler, not MSD) broke. Strange right? My center stone chipped and insurance would not cover it because they said the prior jeweler made the ring improperly and allowed the side stone to touch the center. I was really worried and didn’t know what to do. I went into MSD and talked to Daria. She and Dino immediately knew what to do. They clearly explained my opinions and suggested the most reasonable solution. We sent my center stone for either repolishing or recutting. We ended up having it recut to preserve its shape. I lost very little weight from the diamond. Daria helped me look at representative rings we could use to remake my setting. She presented a wax model for me to try to ensure I would be happy with the end product. In all, it was a very positive experience out of a non-ideal situation. My ring is more beautiful than before. I also had them resize a platinum sapphire ring that was mis-sized by another jeweler. Pricing was very fair for a tremendously high quality job. They kept me informed every step of the way with reliable estimates of when my ring would be done. They are true professionals you can trust. Don’t hesitate to walk through their doors for all your fine jewelry needs. I am glad I did.

Jason Ward

One of the most upstanding, respectable jewelers I have ever met. Dino, his wife Rayna, and the entire staff of Market Street Diamonds make the selection and shopping experience easy, unpressured, and dedicated to finding you the highest quality materials and stones to match your needs. I came in looking for the top of DC's custom jewelers and was easily impressed. Ultimately, I landed on a paladium wedding band, custom engraved and set with a stone. They made sure I was content and absolutely satisfied along the way. He is a true artist and craftsman. I will continue to come there for all my diamond needs and highly recommend it to my friends. Thank you Market Street Diamonds for making my pre-wedding experience amazing!

Nicholas Kroll

Absolutely tremendous experience from start to finish. MSD was able to re-work my wife's heirloom ring into a beautiful new design that incorporated every aspect of the old ring. The customer service is excellent and the music playing is always subtlety great....not enough people playing Motown these days. They have a wide variety of rings and designs that seemingly cater to everyone and were spot-on with their delivery time of the engagement ring, which was on a tight turnaround. If you are like me and gchatting friends to find a great spot in DC to buy an engagement ring save yourself the time and go to MSD.

David Valente

This review is long overdue. My fiancee and I stopped in a few months ago on a whim as we walked by on a Saturday afternoon to look at wedding bands. Although we had no appointment and they were terribly busy (and we know wedding bands are not where a store like this makes their money), they were extremely accommodating. The saleswoman took her time with us, walked us through their men's and women's selections, discussed custom options, and really treated us as if we were the only people in the store. We have since visited a handful of other jewelers of equal quality in the area (being sure to go mid-day on weekdays, now that we know better) and only one other provided comparable service. This is the kind of store that makes you want to buy from them. Stop in, you won't regret it.

Arthur M. Szabo

Great service from friendly people along with creative and skilled craftsmanship - a perfect combination. My wife couldn't be happier. I would trust Dino and the team at Market Street Diamonds to exceed all expectations with any significant piece of jewellery.

Irina Servais

The level of service is unmatched. The quality of my custom-made earrings is outstanding. The price is quite reasonable. What’s not to like?

Erin Kilroy

I inherited my Mom's engagement ring, and decided to have it reset. We looked at 6 different jewelers, and I was about to settle before we made a last ditch effort and tried Market Street Diamonds. One of the best decisions I have ever made! I had a dream ring in mind, but had yet to see anything like it (anywhere.) I fell for the 3rd ring I tried on at MSD, and the staff made it clear we could make any customizations that we wanted! Service- Eva was a dream to work with and sent regular email updates. She went above & beyond in helping me try on half the store so I had NO regrets about the design. This was the first store that treated my mom's ring the way I did. At EVERY other store they would say "whats what stone, about a carat?" 2, actually. "Its a cloudy stone" RUDE. MSD told me how beautiful it was, complimented me on it and noted that the stone just needed a quick cleaning to be back in sparkling shape. They understood my emotional attachment to the ring and were extremely respectful of that. Quality - Dino Lonzano is the owner & designer at MSD. he has his own line sold in the store (among others.)This was the only store I was able to meet with the designer, get his expert opinion, and shake the hand of the person creating something I will pass onto my children. Dino listened to the design I dreamed up & it came out BETTER than my dream! Its stunning, I get compliments on it from everyone. Even cab drivers! Plus, it was specially created for me. How awesome is that?! Variety - I'm not going to lie, when we saw the gorgeous interior of the store with the amazing products and realized it was on M Street in Georgetown, we didn't think we would be able to afford it. But, MSD has rings at every price point. Out of the 6 jewelers I looked at in DC, they were the most cost-effective. They also have an amazing variety with several cases of rings. No worries about seeing a handful of rings that all basically look the same. Dream ring, dream service, at an affordable price? HEAVEN. I will absolutely be a lifelong customer. I can't stop looking at my gorgeous Dino Lonzano custom engagement ring, and when I do I think of only how positive the experience was!

Ryan McBride

Amazing and high quality work. Knowledgeable, charming, and patient staff that were always happy to help us, and never pressured us with any decision. The engagement ring was absolutely perfect, our bands are amazing and everything was made to our exact wishes and delivered on time, without fail. Cant say enough good things about MSD. Worth every cent.

Katie

I had my engagement ring fixed at MSD and the experience couldn’t have been better. They did a great job completely re-making the ring and the ladies I worked with were very professional.

Joe Grause

I have been going to Market Street Diamonds for years and am always impressed with the quality and service. I have gotten everything from a watch battery to my wife's engagement ring to our wedding bands there and totally trust Dino and Rayna with any jewelry advice.

richard brown

This is a very easy 5 stars, would give 6 if I could! I recently worked with Dino and his incredible team (shout out to Rayna) to design a custom engagement ring for my girlfriend of 6 years. I had a very specific design in mind that would feature a particular colored Montana sapphire and a delicate setting/band. Dino was quickly/clearly able to envision exactly what I wanted and the end product was absolutely perfect and exceeded all of my and my now fiance's expectations. Given that this was a fully custom piece, the process involved a lot of communication and personal attention. Dino and his team were incredibly responsive and attentive in answering any questions that I had throughout the entire design/production process. I would recommend MSD to anyone looking to design a ring or purchase an already-made piece. When you walk into the shop and look at the jewelry on display the master craftsmanship is apparent and I couldn't speak more highly to the level of customer service.

Doug Abbott

I knew nothing about rings or jewelry in general but Daria very patiently walked me through the ring-buying process, clearly explaining each aspect and answering my questions. Her guidance was incredibly helpful and led me to the perfect ring within my budget.

David Burick

Working with Dino and his team was so much fun. They had lots of great ideas for my piece and I couldn’t be happier with the end result. Excellent turnaround time too. Thanks everyone!

Kristina Canady

Wow. Wow. Wow. This place is amazing with unique designers and reasonable prices for high quality jewelry. Went shopping there with a friend for a gift and my husband bought my engagement ring there. They have one of a kind pieces that you will not get ANY where in the world.

Tristan Snow

As close to perfect customer service as I have ever had. No attempt to up-sell, only to help me find the perfect ring. If I ever propose again, Market Street Diamonds will be my first stop.

Dr. T. Khedir Al-Tiae

I am very impressed by the atmosphere, the service is exceptional and there is a beautiful behind every piece. The curator of this museum is a beautiful reminder of God's Majesty, he has an exceptional eye for the finest artisan hands from the latest artisan creations to the prestige of the vintage collections.

Miara Rasamoelina

Great experience!!!! I went online and called too and it was an easy process. I got earrings for my mom at a good discount compared to other Jewelry websites.

Jonathan Moak

The Market Street Diamonds team is the single most professional team I have worked with before when having jewelry made. I highly recommend them for all of your jewelry needs.

Andrew Catomeris

The reviews are utterly true: absolutely great place and excellent service. If you have no idea what you're doing (yours truly), they guide you through every step of the way and produce a really beautiful product. Custom rings take about 3-4 weeks and they inform you of progress at every step of the way.

Katie Gallagher

Amazing customer service. They have fixed a silver necklace for me on multiple occasions and are always quick and friendly! I would recommend them to anyone looking for jewelry repair.

Aisling Cushnie

I can't recommend highly enough. The service from Eve and the whole MSD team was exceptional, from resetting an antique diamond ring to cleaning and resizing another their professionalism, expertise and customer service was second to none, thank you!

Anastasia Castro-Alvarez

A superb place with superb service! Attention to detail and quality above all else. I was in the diamond exploration business in Canada and have dealt with exclusive jewelers in California - and market street diamonds is my spot on the east coast.

Nicholas Despotidis

Great customer service and quality Diamonds. Dino and Eva were able to direct me to a custom ring my fiancé loves. Thank you!

Elad Silberring

Really nice store with lots of varieties of earrings bracelets and necklaces in the store prices are pretty high but they have a catalog which you can choose specific chains or earrings and then add or customize where you want to add the diamonds and which material it would be off of so you can do silver instead of gold and it would be half the price and could do small diamonds instead of a big one.nice sales people and good prices
