Reviews of Washington Diamond
kyle kimball
Washington Diamond has been a part of our family for years. They helped me design my wedding set and most recently a custom ring. It has been a friendship from the start. They are very friendly, transparent and price competitively. My experiences over the years have been great. I highly recommend Washington Diamond.

5 star diamond experience!!! Tom and the team at Washington Diamond made this an enjoyable purchase. I never liked buying jewelry in the past and my wife is VERY particular. However this was a complete enjoyable experience. Tom was excellent in communication and in educating me about my choices. My wife absolutely loved what i picked out and I feel like I have business for life that I can trust for any future purchases.

I started my engagement ring journey with Mr Tom Daube and his team at Washington Diamond on 11/5/22. Mr Daube took the time to assess what I was looking for in a ring for my fiancée, and made the process and journey an extremely easy one. The wonderful thing about the ring that was purchased, it was custom made to my liking. Even when there was a potential international shipment issue with the ring, Mr Daube assured me that I could trust that he would deliver as initially promised. The ring turned out far beyond my expectations and my fiancée just loves it. We will definitely be coming back to Washington Diamond for our wedding bands. Thank you Mr. Daube!

Washington Diamond helped my husband design my dream engagement ring and wedding band and they are both incredibly stunning. We had such a great experience with Tom and I could not be more in love with my rings. We would recommend anyone to Washington Diamond!
Molly Murray
Washington Diamond did an amazing job restoring my nearly-100 year old family heirloom ring. It looks wonderful, and the staff was of the highest quality. Attentive, helpful, and timely, and took the utmost care with such a precious item.

Washington Diamond has gone above and beyond to help my wife and I get our wedding bands. Tom was funny, helpful, and light hearted throughout the entire process. We were measured the same day, and when we had to do minor adjustments to our wedding bands, he did so for free and quickly. I've recommended my friends and family to visit Washington Diamond, and I'd 100% come back for any upgrades to my wife's rings.
Thanks again Tom!

Wouldn't go anywhere else. Tom and his team at Washington Diamond have continually done right by me over the years and several purchases. I feel well supported, even on a tight schedule, and I always walking away feeling like I got a great deal of value.
Conor O'Grady
The team at Washington Diamond were all great to work with. They helped me find the perfect engagement ring and made it a very easy process.

After having checked out a few other diamond stores in the area, I was disappointed with their lack of knowledge and/or service. It was then a friend recommended me to Washington Diamond. I had wrongly thought Washington Diamond was pricer than other diamond stores; they are not. From the moment my husband and I met with Tom, we were put at ease. The project we were working on was a complete reset to a diamond which included hard to find shield cut diamonds and a custom made band that had several requirements. Tom immediately had sources to call and stones for us to see the next day. Mind you, these are not stones that are readily available in the market - even for jewelers. He also went to work on designing a custom setting and had his goldsmiths work on the most perfect ring which fits beautifully against my entity band. Tom and his team included small, personal details which make this piece very heartfelt and stand out. Washington Diamond is a special place of talented people who are just as great with clients as they are with their craft. Tom and team, we look forward to working with you again! Thank you.

My experience with Washington Diamond (WD) was absolutely fantastic. My girlfriend and I had been researching and shopping for an engagement ring for a few months prior to coming to WD. We set up an appointment together with Tom D. in October 2018 to see some of the stones and settings WD had to offer. Because we had been researching prior to our appointment, we knew much about what to look for in a good diamond (cut angles, proportions, etc.), but Tom did an excellent job explaining in great detail some of the questions we had which the internet had not easily addressed. He explained what standards WD uses when selecting their stones, and they are well within ideal the ideal range. We felt very welcomed, and Tom never pressured or steered us toward a purchase.
A couple months later and after deciding on a center stone, I contacted Tom again without my girlfriend. I decided to go back to Tom at WD because I genuinely trusted him and felt that he would help me find the perfect setting. The quality of products and service offered by WD was also at the top of my list for reasons to go back. I had been to several jewelers in the past year, but Tom was the only one who listened and did not rush me at all. Plus he really knows his stuff! After I picked out a few settings on their website that I thought my girlfriend would love, I set up another appointment.
Tom’s setting recommendation was the same setting I had in mind! Once again I could tell he had actually listened to me during our interactions. We agreed on a price and finalized the deal that day. A few days later I received a call from Erin stating that the ring was ready for pickup. When I picked it up I was blown away with how beautiful the ring was in person. I knew at once my girlfriend would love and cherish this ring forever, and I will always have Tom to thank for helping me through this process. My girlfriend and I are definitely going back when it is time to purchase our wedding bands. I highly recommend them for all your jewelry needs!

My wife does not wear a lot of jewelry so I don't buy jewelry often but when I do, I only buy it from Tom Daube at Washington Diamond! From our engagement rings to jewelry for births, anniversaries and special birthdays, Washington Diamond is the store where I have found success. It sounds cliche but people make the difference and Wash Diamond owner Tom D and some of his team members like Virginia, plus good pricing, and trust that the product is quality give me confidence and peace of mind in transactions that I don't do all the time.
Senora Smith
Tom at Washington Diamond reset an heirloom diamond in a bracelet for me. He carefully listened to my ideas, and his goldsmith magnificently set the diamond to be the centerpiece of the bracelet. The entire experience was both emotional and satisfying. I thank them for their experise and professional courtesy.

I just got my bracelet shorten in Washington Diamond store. The staffs are kind and patient. They finished the fabulous work in 24hrs. It's a good experience to shop at Washington Diamond.
Michael Pugliese
My experience at Washington Diamond was great! I had went to several different jewelers while looking for an engagement ring and found that Washington Diamond was where I felt most comfortable. Tom was great to work with, I felt he was honest, sincere, and extremely knowledgeable. Unlike some other jewelers in the area, I didn't feel like I was being pushed to buy above my price range, Tom never tried to "sell" me on anything. He knew my budget and make sure to work within the parameters. I plan to use Washington Diamond for my wedding rings. I would 100% recommend them!
Adam Compton
I went to Washington Diamond with just a few pencil sketches and stones from our families, hoping to create my ideal engagement ring. Tom Daube helped me work through the ideas and find the best ring to use as a base, then the in-house team of jewelers made the finishing touches to make it a reality. They were able to beautifully set three stones in a unique ring that my wife adores. I had such a great experience working with Tom that we went back for our wedding bands, too, and he was able to get us exactly what we were looking for.
All-in-all, Tom was an absolute pleasure to talk with and was not at all a pushy or aggressive salesman. If I recall correctly, our first appointment consisted solely of discussing my thoughts and him showing me a few possibilities, and I walked out empty-handed to check out a few other shops. I quickly came back to Washington Diamond after realizing they were the best! The rest of the staff is totally professional and courteous, too. I have nothing but great things to say about this place, and will certainly be coming back to shop for our anniversary!
Richard Ingebretsen
My fiancée and I began our search for an engagement ring at Washington Diamond and it pretty much ended there as well. While we had initially intended to visit several different jewelers in the DC region, Washington Diamond quickly impressed us with their selection, pricing, customer service, and friendliness. Tom was incredibly friendly and very patient with us and our questions as he determined what we were interested in, what was important to us, and what he could do for us at our price point. I never felt any pressure to buy anything and never felt like he was trying to upsell me. Tom and the rest of the staff were incredibly responsive to our phone and email correspondence and made the entire process, from window-shopping to final pickup, seamless. We are incredibly happy with the engagement ring and I cannot recommend the team at Washington Diamond enough!
Taylor Hallagan
My partner had my ring formed here at Washington Diamond without any insight to my ring size in order to keep the proposal a surprise, so my first interaction with Washington Diamond was getting the ring resized. I came in on Tuesday and worked with Janelle who allowed me to try on a few sizes for comfort, explained the difference my winter fingers would arrive to come summer, and shared that the resizing would be completed by Friday.
The ring was ready Thursday! I worked with Virginia on Thursday for pickup, and she made me feel soo good about the ring itself! She must see fabulous rings all the time, and yet when she brought mine out, she wowed at it and everything and it was such a nice feeling.
Then before leaving Thursday, I got to see the Sharon who not only recommended the place to my partner in the first place, but she works there, too. Before leaving, she asked me about my entire experience. I let her know how fast the resizing was and she let me in on their quickness for first timers, since they're aware of how much the newly engaged feel off with out the ring. They think of everything! Sharon talked to me about the security of the location with the two-door locked access and how safe the office is, she spoke emphatically over how the display pre-Covid, and even offered for me to come by anytime to get my ring freshened up before a night out or just because I feel like it.
While engagement is already a special time, Washington Diamond made it even more so with their warm and hospitable nature. I could not be happier with my experience.
Chelsey McMillan
My fiance and I went to Washington Diamond on a recommendation from family, and couldn't be happier! We met with Tom in June 2010, just before getting engaged, to look at engagement rings. Neither one of us really knew what questions to ask or what to look for. However, we were well taken care of!
Tom was very patient and let us take our time and instead of trying to pressure us into getting a diamond that might not have been right for us, he gave us endless options and let us make our own (informed) decision.
Not only was the customer service fantastic, but they have a wonderful selection! They have very high standards, so you really can't go wrong with anything they have to offer.
We were so happy with the engagement ring experience we just went back to pick out wedding rings a few days ago. As always, Tom was fantastic and we walked away with a beautiful wedding band that was the perfect compliment to my amazing engagement ring.
I have been so happy with the experience that I have raved about them to everyone I know, and would absolutely recommend Washington Diamond again and again. The next time we look for fine jewelry, we will absolutely return. Thank you Washington Diamond and thank you Tom!
Sharlene
I'm always skeptical of extremely positive reviews, but they're all true when it comes to Washington Diamond. Tom was very kind, helpful and knowledgeable. I was thrilled when he told me my damaged engagement ring could be repaired when another jeweler informed me it could not be fixed. I'm so happy with the final result, such beautiful craftsmanship!
Margaret Bumgarner
Amazing pieces + creative minds + friendly customer service + amazing senses of humor = a gem of a store we look forward to returning to again and again 💕💎🌟 thank you WD for creating such beautiful pieces for my husband and me …
Jan
Tom at Washington Diamond was awesome. He helped us design my engagement and wedding ring, using diamonds I already had. We also bought my husband's ring - which was a non-traditional metal - from Washington Diamond. Everything went smoothly, the sizing was perfect and the timing excellent. I have no hesitation about recommending Washington Diamond strongly.
Nick Koutris
Bought my engagement ring here. I worked with Tom to create the perfect ring and we could not be happier with the result,. Washington Diamond took their time with me and made sure I knew all my options. You can not get this kind of customer service at a chain jewelry store. I will definitely be coming back here. Love their work and the people are amazing!
Matt Krawczyk
There really isn't enough I can say about the entire staff and specifically Tom Daube at Washington Diamond. I made an appointment on the recommendation of several friends who had purchased engagement rings with Tom and company. Having looked beforehand at a number of other well-known jewelers, my experience with Washington Diamond surpassed any expectations from the start. Tom guided me through the world of diamonds and settings with incredible patience and a great sense of humor, which I very much appreciated, which led to my purchase of a gorgeous engagement ring. My fiance and I came back to purchase our wedding bands and Tom and the team took it up another step and helped design and create a custom piece for us. It takes a truly exceptional experience for me to recommend anyone, and Washington Diamond has truly earned it. First rate staff that put the customer above themselves.
Michael Narvaez
My fiance and I had a wonderful experience working with Tom while picking out our wedding bands for our special day. His friendliness, wit, and experience are second to none. In the span of an hour, we went from complete strangers to him telling us that he's going to be a little late for our wedding reception! Cannot recommend him and Washington Diamond enough!
Vic Lim
Washington Diamond came through for me when I was needing an engagement ring in a short period of time. Tom and his staff provided excellent customer service and most importantly, a beautiful ring for my wife. She LOVES IT! Tom knows his diamonds and provided great options for me. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for quality jewelry. Will be back again. Thanks again Tom, Lauren, and the entire staff!
Jeremy Milliken
I am a complete amateur at all things jewelry, so finding an engagement ring proved daunting. I visited three local jewelers. The first was a complete disaster. The second had some nice rings, but was quite expensive.
Finally, enter Washington Diamond. With a quick appointment made for later in the week, I met with Tom Daube, who was an absolute joy throughout the whole process. We discussed options and settled upon a design I saw online. The design I liked was quite expensive, but using a 3D printer and modeling, Tom was able to deliver me the perfect ring and saved me a couple thousand dollars.
Tom was always available and made the process as smooth as possible. We had about a month to make the ring, and it was completed a week early. Tom kept me notified at every step of the process and ensured we were on time. The fit was perfect and couldn't have gone better.
I would highly recommend Washington Diamond to friends, family, or anyone looking for jewelry recommendations.
Wayne Crowder
We had a concept for bands to accompany her engagement ring. Washington Diamond created exactly what we wanted. Superb service from knowledgeable experts.
Tim K
The BEST jeweler in the Washington DC area! Why? Because they sell only high-quality products; they give very professional advice; they don't put any pressure on buyers; they have an excellent selection--especially of engagement rings and wedding bands, and the people are terrific. When I first started buying diamond jewelry for my wife (starting with her engagement ring), I found it difficult to evaluate diamonds by their cut, clarity and color. Why was each so important? What did it all mean? After a couple visits and some tutoring, I now feel very comfortable evaluating diamonds. I understand what makes a diamond look great. And, my wife has always been very pleased and proud of the diamonds that I've bought for her at Washington Diamond. To this day, her engagement ring and wedding band look fantastic. For me, Washington Diamond means TRUST, and for that reason, it is the only place I will buy high quality jewelry.
Mike Armstrong
We worked with Tom at Washington diamond to set a family stone. It was our first time designing a piece of Jewelry. Tom was extremely helpful and patient. The whole team and showroom have a calming and reassuring atmosphere. We highly recommend Washington Jewelry and will be using them again with all future purchases.

TL;DR : This place has great customer service, fair prices, and high quality diamonds. What more could you ask for?
Full Story:
It was completely by chance that I ended up at Washington Diamond, but I'm so thankful I made it there. I meant to schedule an appointment with another local jeweler, but mixed up the phone numbers and hurriedly scheduled a visit without verifying the place. Lucky for me I realized my mistake in time to change travel plans and make my appointment at Washington Diamond.
I knew very little about diamonds besides some research I'd done online before my visit. Tom walked me through everything, educated me, and gave me time to double check information via the literature they had there and via my phone. I never felt rushed or pushed into buying anything. In fact, I left after the appointment without a ring or having put down any money. I wanted to check some other jewelers in the area and compare prices. Tom not only understood, but was supportive. He wanted me to be comfortable with my purchase; wanted me to be confident that I was getting the best combination of quality & price that I could.
After further investigation and speaking with friends and family, I found out that some of my relatives used Washington Diamond for +10 years. They had nothing but good things to share about Washington Diamond and Tom. Needless to say I went back and purchased an engagement ring . My (now) fiance' loved it and the rest is history.
If you're shopping for any sort of jewelry, especially engagement rings, schedule an appointment with Washington Diamond. You won't be sorry.
Irina Lopez
I would like to share another great experience at the Washington Diamond. We have been going to the store for years. The jewelry and service have been just outstanding. Tom always makes sure that customers are well taken care of and you get a piece of jewelry that fits your needs just right. The jewelry is beautiful and I get a lot of compliments on all items we purchased from him. Everybody at the store is great, they care about you and it shows. Wonderful quality pieces and great experience all the time!
StephenVittoria Jacobsen
Tom was pleasure to work with when choosing an engagement ring!! His knowledge of diamonds and styles is unmatched and I felt super confident in my decision making. He offered me different options and made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. Erin was also very helpful in scheduling and gave great tips for ring care. Overall I can't recommend Washington Diamond enough and I look forward to doing more business with them in the future!
Christopher Nelson
Just make an appointment, you will not be disappointed. The worse that can happen is you will get a education with zero pressure sales. If you're buying an engagement ring like I did, Tom will spend the time with you required to get the perfect stone and setting. We also bought our wedding rings from Tom, my bride was very comfortable and impressed with the experience. I would recommend Washington Diamond to anyone.
Chris Butler
I purchased an engagement ring from Washington Diamond in 2013. I was so satisfied with the ring that I just purchased both wedding bands from Washington Diamond as well! Excellent quality at a great value. Service has been nothing but excellent, from making appointments (same day when needed) to Tom's help selecting the perfect engagement ring and now wedding bands! Tom guided me through picking out a diamond, based on my budget, with no pressure to buy. He gave me all the information I needed to make the decision for myself. I am happy I chose Washington Diamond (twice) and recommend anyone looking for diamond jewelry to make an appointment!
Sam Hayes
I had a terrific experience working with Tom and his team at Washington Diamond to find the perfect engagement ring. After visiting some "fancy" downtown DC jewelers, I was disappointed with their selection and the flexibility to create a unique piece. My experience at Washington Diamond couldn't have been better and I was thrilled that Tom could give great advice (I really didn't have much direction) without making me feel pressured. We ended up modifying one of the rings they had in stock to make exactly what I wanted. Everything was done in less than two weeks, completed well within my budget and the quality of the craftsmanship was superb.
Brittany Vigil
Washington Diamond is absolutely amazing! My fiance bought my ring from here and not only is it beautiful, but the people that work there are phenomenal! Ryan has been wonderful to work with, is super friendly and communicating with her has been a breeze. I had my ring re-sized and had it fixed when I slammed my finger in a door and both experiences were wonderful. I recommend Washington Diamond to everybody that wants a beautiful piece of jewelry and wonderful service!
Naomi Fikremariam
My husband had bought my engagement ring nine years ago from Washington Diamond. We also bought our wedding rings from there. After nine years we went back to Washington Diamond because of the service we got from Tom. Tom provided us with excellent service both times. He was so patient with us. He ensured that we were satisfied with the ring we chose. The ring we got was excellent. It was of great quality for a great price. Everyone there is very helpful and friendly.
Clarissa W
My engagement ring and wedding bands were originally purchased from a jeweler in my home town (1000+ miles away) and after I moved to this area I did not have a trusted jeweler. A friend recommended Washington Diamond and I was truly impressed. I wanted to get my rings soldered together. One of my bands did not sit flush with my engagement ring, and they said they might not be able to fix it but they did fix it and I could not be happier! Erin was very nice and helpful, and their work quality is the best.
Kevin McGee
Twenty years and some ago my wife and I purchased a custom made engagement ring and wedding band from Washington Diamond. That set was my wife’s pride and joy and she received many compliments on it. Fast forward a couple of decades and my wife and I went back to Washington Diamond for an Eternity Band. While we were choosing a band, Mr. Daube suggested we reset my wife’s engagement ring to match the new ring. We took his suggestion and the new set is simply gorgeous. My wife is over the moon about this anniversary gift and I have earned epic husband points. Thanks to Washington Diamond.
Laurie C
My experience with Washington Diamond was incredible from start to finish. I inherited a 30 + year- old diamond from my mom that needed some work and repair and also had great sentimental value to me. I chose Washingtom Diamond because it was local and I knew they had a great reputation. Beginning with my initial call with Erin, I felt secure and happy to leave my ring for repair. My ring ended up needing special attention and I was advised along the way of some possible obstacles in the work. Nevertheless, the jeweler was able to complete the work and I felt that my ring was even given extra care given its age. I am so happy with my ring. The repair and appraisal were reasonably priced and the customer service was impeccable. I would recommend Washington Diamond to anyone.
William Lear
Struggling to find a jeweler I felt comfortable with, I thought I was destined to essentially go it on my own with an online retailer until I found Washington Diamond. I live 4 hours away and never set foot in the front door, but that was not necessary. Tom and his team were so easy to work with from a distance. They listened to me, helped answer questions I had from my own research, and provided outstanding diamond and setting options for me to select the perfect ring. They made me feel comfortable, respected, and at home working with them.
The diamond is just breathtaking. The setting is exactly what we were trying to find. The engagement ring surpassed even my wildest expectations of quality and what I thought I could afford. My fiancée absolutely loves her ring! I could not be happier! Washington Diamond even followed up a few weeks later to see if I was satisfied with my purchase. Great customer service! I’d recommend Washington Diamond to everyone – regardless if you live near DC or not. Thanks again Tom and Washington Diamond!
Nathan
I bought my first engagement ring through this company. Tom was the most clear and honest jeweler I spoke with throughout my entire process. Location was not an issue. I live in Houston and this company is in Virginia. Tom always went the extra mile and I got a spectacular ring at a fair price in a timely fashion. Thank you Tom for helping someone new to the jewelry industry with honesty and integrity!
Tamara Shanker
My fiancé recently proposed with the most gorgeous diamond ring from Washington Diamond.
During his search for a jeweler, my fiancé made an appointment with Tom and was immediately sold. Tom was patient, very experienced, and made the process very comfortable for someone who had limited knowledge on diamond rings before. Tom showed genuine interest in getting to know what we liked so he could best help find the perfect ring.
We can't wait to return to Washington Diamond when we are ready to buy our wedding bands. Thanks Tom and Washington Diamond!
Nora Dyak
My fiancé bought my engagement ring here and we went recently to get our wedding bands. This place is amazing. Tom is the best! He is not pushy and really takes the time to educate you on the pieces you are looking at. He’s also hilarious too. If you are looking to propose or even just to get any kind of jewelry for an anniversary, gift etc I highly recommend Washington diamond!
Donald Francis
My experience with Washington Diamond was exceptional. My wife was uncertain of the exact style she wanted. She had her mind set on a vintage eternity band and had that custom made with Washington Diamond. Upon receiving it she decided it wasn't really what she wanted. Without a moments hesitation, they took the ring back with a full credit and patiently worked with her to create a beautiful ring. With the calm expert direction from Tom she was able to get the perfect wedding set. The setting of the ring and the nearly perfect diamond has made her ring spectacular. It seems daily friends and strangers comment on its beauty.
Arvin Espanola
I recently purchased an engagement ring at Washington Diamond. It is by far the best place I went to. The service and expertise I received was far beyond my expectations. I could not find another place that could beat their price and quality of the diamonds I was looking at. The appraisal of the engagement ring was well above what I paid for. Unlike most places I went to, I did not feel pressure on purchasing their product. Tom Danube was the one who helped me out, and he was absolutely great to work with on my purchase. My financee loved her ring! Thank you Tom and the rest of Washington Diamond!
Romin Zandi
Washington Diamond is the best! When looking for our engagement rings, my fiancée and I went to many different places prior to coming to Washington Diamond. I myself work in the hospatility industry and know great customer service. Tom and his staff are fantastic! Upon meeting Tom for the first time he took the time to learn more about our story and us. He really is a genuine and personable person. When looking for our rings he not only made sure to keep us in budget but provided us with something that was beautiful and unique to our vision. Thank you for helping us through a special moment in our journey and making us feel comfortable and ease. You have customers for life! - Romin and Johanna!
Daisy Silva
My fiancé and I had an excellent experience with Tom at Washington Diamond. We were looking for a local jewelry store with personal experience. We loved the personalized touch we got with your purchase of my wedding band. The quality of the jewelry was superb and very reasonable fair prices! We look forward to continuing our relationship with Washington Diamond!
Jaime Banach
Our experiences with Washington Diamond have been nothing but exceptional. They have always done the right things for us. Tom is extremely reasonable, helpful, and passionate about his job. The customer service is great. Now living in Ohio, we continue to use Washington Diamond, it is the only place we fully trust to ensure we are getting the absolute highest quality jewelry. Highly recommend Washington Diamond!!
Howard Verlander
I was looking for something stunning, absolutely breathtaking and unique while still staying within my budget. It was suggested, by my soon to be brother-in-law, that I visit Washington Diamond. He assured me I would receive the best price, best quality and best service. When I first met Walter Via, I felt very comfortable in knowing that he really understood what my girlfriend and I were looking for in regard to the design and qualities of the ring. We discussed for weeks and I compared prices to other jewelers and there was no comparison in what they could offer. I searched from Richmond VA to Northern Virginia & even online & no one could compare to Walter’s knowledge and the comfort I felt with him and Washington Diamond. In my opinion, Walter is Washington Diamonds most sparkling diamond! In the end we received a gorgeous ring and most importantly she said yes and absolutely loves it! Thank you Walter and thank you Washington Diamond for such a marvelous masterpiece!
Steve Summerford
Washington Diamond went above and beyond to help me find a unique wedding band for my wife. Looking to complete a wedding band / engagement ring set with the third and final duplicate wedding band that we didn't purchase nearly a decade ago when we got married, Tom of Washington Diamond crafted a beautiful exact copy of my wife's wedding band! The detail was impeccable - mill grain, filigree, and channel set diamonds. I actually live in Atlanta and trusted him remotely (found them online due to their excellent reviews) to complete the process, and couldn't have been happier! I highly recommend Tom and his team as top notch professionals, excellent craftsmen, and willing to go the extra mile to meet every customer's needs. If you're looking for a great buying experience (trust me it's exciting to get a beautiful piece of jewelry in the mail that you've spent nearly a decade looking for), or need to have a custom piece made, I highly recommend Washington Diamond.
Matt A
There's so many wonderful things to share about my experience with Tom at Washington Diamond. I can't thank him enough for his patience and shared knowledge throughout my engagement ring shopping experience. Washington Diamond is one of those few buying experiences that I'm excited to share and refer friends and family.
I really put Tom through the wringer, and throughout the entire process he never wavered. He remained patient and friendly despite my constant inquiries. I compared numerous diamonds, some even from other vendors, and when other diamonds seemed better, he was honest in his evaluation. His expertise was very influential in helping me to design a custom ring based on a photo I provided. He delivered an amazing ring that met our design specifications, and when I requested a small last minute tweak afterwards he was happy to adjust the setting. Throughout the process he remained consistent in his mission to build the perfect ring to match my desire, but also at a quality level that all of us would be happy to say was a Washington Diamond engagement ring.
I should also give a big thumbs up to the rest of the Washington Diamond team that I had a pleasure of working with. Whether it be meeting scheduling, appointment greetings, product construction updates, or quality assurance follow up, they're really very good at professionally managing the customer relationship.
And of course the greatest fan of all is my fiancé. She is so incredibly happy with her engagement ring, which really is the most important part. Thanks again Tom for helping me to design the perfect ring.
Erica Teti-Zilinskas
I'm so glad I chose Washington Diamond to purchase a gift for my wife after delivering our baby boy. As an LGBT family, we are never quite sure what customer service will look like in these traditional situations, and we couldn't be happier with the purchase, and the support of their incredible team. Tom listened carefully to my needs and was very courteous in helping me select the best possible ring for my budget. We will definitely be going back the next time we want to commemorate a life milestone. Thank you Washington Diamond!
L Kennedy
Great sales and customer service. We purchased an engagement ring and wedding band a few years ago. Met with Walter, he is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He helped us design the setting and the wedding band. They provide free cleaning services twice a year. Highly recommend Washington Diamond if you are looking for a personalized experience.
M Miller
We have purchased several pieces of beautiful jewelry from Washington Diamond.
Tom Daube and the staff couldn’t be nicer and very
helpful.
I had them redesign my engagement ring.
They did a beautiful job.
I highly recommend them and have recommended
them to many people.
You will not be disappointed.

Tom Daube and Associates at Washington Diamond have been my personal jewelry consultants for more than 20 years!
I Love my Most recent Exquisitely Hand Crafted
Sapphire, Diamond, and Platinum Engagement Ring!
Tom never fails to amaze and please me with his creativity in suggesting and designing the perfect ring for me.
The quality, professionalism, and personal attention to fine details are always displayed from Tom, Walter, Erin, Ryan, and other staff.

I've been going to Washington Diamond for about 12 years when I bought my engagement ring. They've always been professional, courteous and customer focused. I've always appreciated the advice given and would highly recommend them for any jewelry needs, including repairs, which was my last visit. They fixed my wife's necklace and it looks great.

My husband and I had talked about purchasing a pair of diamond earrings for about a year, every time a special occasion came along...birthday, Christmas. But I wanted to wait for our fifth wedding anniversary. When our anniversary drew close, he didn't mention anything about the earrings. Then, out of the blue, Washington Diamond sent me an email about a big sale they were having. I knew it was an omen! I made an appointment online and Tom called me to see what I was interested in. He had several styles, sizes and grades together when I went to the store. It was easy because I knew what I wanted and he had a very good selection. He was very easy to talk to. There was no hard sell. The earrings are awesome! I wear them all the time because we know....diamonds go with everything.

I went to Washington Diamond after a friend of mine recommended Tom. I had done quite a bit of research while shopping for my fiancee's engagement ring. Everyone there was very friendly and helpful. Tom fielded all of my questions and helped me pick out the most gorgeous diamond for my future wife. He compared his price with similar diamonds online and explained the difference between them and how each measured up. I've been back with my fiancee to a couple of times and they have always taken time to help us with cleaning or sizing, etc...All in all, I was completely satisfied with my interactions with Tom and would recommend him to anyone looking for quality diamonds at a reasonable price.

Everyone at Washington Diamond was great. I visited a number of other jewelers in the DC area and Walter and his team were the most professional I dealt with. They have a wide selection of settings and can get any stone you want. Most importantly, my fiancee loves the diamond and setting, and for me, the buying process was straightforward and stressfree.
Donna Reid
We purchased a diamond and wedding bands from Washington Diamond almost 30 years ago. I still have our rings checked and repaired there. The people who work there are all extremely courteous. It is outstanding quality workmanship done in a very timely manner. People here make me feel they care. I would not trust my shining gem with any other jeweler. Thank you so very much Washington Diamond!
Todd Harrod
Tom and his team are not only exceptional professionals, they are warm and wonderful people who truly care about their customers and customers’ satisfaction. They taken great care of us through the years and they get my highest endorsement- Kudos to Tom and the folks at Washington Diamond!!!

Jewelry shopping, let alone finding the perfect engagement ring, can be very intimidating. The staff at Washington Diamond made it extremely simple and stress free. Denelle is amazing and worked with me in person, on the phone, and via email. She made the whole process super easy and answered all my questions. Everyone here wants to help and will accommodate your schedule and budget. When it came time to have my center stone mounted, Tom suggested a different setting than what I originally picked. His suggestion was great and really complimented the center stone. Eventually, my now fiance and I went back to buy our wedding bands from them, too! Highly recommended!!
Leila Dujany-Ruiz
Walter at Washington Diamond was beyond helpful in helping us pick out our perfect wedding bands. He was patient when we went back and forth on designs and came back for a second look before ultimately deciding. He also did extra research to help us make our decision. They also provided a ring cleaning service right before our wedding day to make sure that our rings were perfect! I highly recommend Washington Diamond!
Robert Doss
Enthusiastically recommended; fine jewelry sales done right. I had the pleasure of observing my good friend purchase an engagement ring from Tom at Washington Diamond after visiting many of the big-name vendors in the DC-area. He, like I, was extremely impressed with the professional, no-pressure environment; knowledgeable, accommodating staff; and high quality inventory.
When it came time for me to purchase a ring, I didn’t think twice about driving six hours back to the DC area to Washington Diamond, without looking elsewhere—they didn’t disappoint. In a matter of minutes, Tom produced a high quality center stone and setting that matched exactly what I had in mind for my fiancée, well within budget and on an expedited timeline to meet my schedule.
I look forward to returning for all future jewelry purchases.

I am very happy that I found Washington Diamond when looking for engagement rings. Their staff displayed a level of customer service that I rarely get to experience. As a first time buyer of diamonds, Tom took the time to educate me on what to look for in the perfect diamond and patiently showed a variety of examples. What I really appreciated was the stores lack of pretension, and that I never felt pressured to buy a diamond even after they spent an hour showing me rings.
There emphasis on ensuring that I received the perfect ring was evidenced when they modified part of the ring I ultimately chose to match another ring that I liked, free of charge. There craftsmanship is excellent, and there prices are better than any other brick-and-mortar store that I visited.
Not only did I find the perfect engagement ring, I went back to Washington Diamond for both wedding bands and two diamond bangles. The bangles were less expensive than what I found on any online jewelry store for the equivalent quality. I would gladly recommend this store to anyone in the market for any quality piece of jewelry. I look forward to going back soon the next time I'm in the market for any jewelry.
Breanne Balzano
My fiance, Joseph, and I recently worked with Tom and the staff at Washington Diamond for our wedding bands. My engagement ring is a vintage heirloom, so finding a band that would fit with it was very difficult. Tom designed us a custom band to match my fiance's great grandmothers engagement ring...and it is so beautiful! It fits the vintage ring and the style matches perfectly. Tom also worked with my fiancé for his wedding band as well. He is extremely friendly and professional. We will trust Washington Diamond for all of our future needs regarding jewelry and maintennance! Thank you Tom!:)
Chris Abplanalp
I was in the market for an engagement ring, a friend suggested Washington Diamond because of the great service he received, that level of service held true to my experience as well! The entire staff, especially Tom, he was extremely helpful navigating through the ring purchase. I also had a previous engagement ring; Washington Diamond bought the ring from me and credited that money to my current ring. They're spectacular!
Michael Biscardi
My experience at Washington Diamond was fantastic. I witnessed first-hand the high level of service that Walter provided to a close friend of mine when he was getting ready to propose to his wife a few years back, so when it came time for me to do the same, Washington Diamond was my first and only stop. I already narrowed my search to a diamond with a very particular set of features, and Walter found the perfect stone for me. They also created a fantastic custom setting that was exactly what I was looking for, while staying within my budget. The whole process was transparent and painless and I’d recommend Washington Diamond to anyone!
Kenneth Westling
You certainly won't find anything better than Washington Diamond. I came across them when I was looking to purchase an engagement ring for my fiancee. Oddly enough, it was the first place I went to see for engagement rings, and I certainly didn't expect to be so impressed on my first visit. I met with Tom Daube, and his very personable attitude and expert knowledge of engagement rings provided me with a superior jewelry shopping experience. What I found particularly comforting was his ability to work with me in finding the perfect engagement ring at the price I was looking for. Before I made any decisions, he encouraged me to look around the area, and see if I could find another jeweler offering a better price. True to his word, I couldn't find a better price! I went ahead and purchased the engagement ring, and I couldn't have been happier with my decision and my fiancee also can't seem to stop smiling whenever she looks at the ring on her hand.My fiancee and I are now on the second part of our ring adventure. Rather than looking around, we headed straight for Washington Diamond for our wedding bands. This time we met with Afton Boykin, and she provided us with yet another pleasurable shopping experience. She sat down with us and showed us a whole line of different wedding bands we could choose from. After some time, we eventually decided on the ones we wanted, and knew we made the right decision.I highly recommend Washington Diamond. You certainly will not be disappointed!
Lexie Bond
We went to Washington Diamonds for a custom engagement ring and I'm in love with the results. I didn't make it easy because I wanted an emerald cut black diamond, which isn't easy to source. But Tom helped us find one and then created a super elegant and unique ring design with two "bullet" diamonds on either side of the black diamond. Everyone comments on how unique it is-which is exactly what I wanted.
The service is great too. I had to come back to have the ring resized and Erin is so pleasant and great to work with. They resized and cleaned the ring free of charge.
Highly recommend Washington Diamonds for custom engagement rings in the D.C. area.
Aaron Byrd
I had an incredible experience with Washington Diamond when searching for an engagement ring. Tom and the rest of the staff were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in answering my questions! Amazing customer service and wonderful staff. This is the most trustworthy and well-run jewelry business in the northern Virginia! Thank you!
David M
Fantastic Value! Thomas was very knowledgeable and helpful! I did a lot of homework before I made my appointment and Washington Diamond did not disappoint! The stones and setting was a higher grade/cut then their competitors and the pricing was amazing! I highly recommend you set an appointment and start with Washington Diamond, they will exceed your expectations and all with no pressure.
Tarcy Thompson
Was recommended to Washington Diamond by a coworker when I said I wanted a custom engagement ring - it turned out way better than we even imagined. Tom & team took great care of us and made sure everything was perfect. We went back to get my wedding band and - again, perfect.
Chris DeBlanc
I had Washington Diamond repair and restore a ring that is a family heirloom. They did a phenomenal job. It looks brand new. The fit is perfect. And the meticulous detail work that was involved proved to me that their goldsmith is truly an artist. The representative I worked with, Tom Daube, is wonderful. His service is impeccable and he was a joy to work with. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. You have become my jeweler for life. I thank you and your team for a job well done.

I walked into Washington Diamond to get a general feel of a ring, but that same day I picked out the ring I used to propose. After being grilled on what my fiance wanted for awhile I was able to list a couple things off, and an entire tray of diamond rings matching that criteria was brought out. The overall cost was nothing compared to the value of the ring. I ran into some difficulties coming up with the funds to pay, but they were really understanding and worked with me. I made a couple of payments and proposed the same day the ring was turned over to me. Really glad I went to Washington Diamonds and have recommended a couple other of my friends to check them out if they were interested.
Kim Apperson
Our experience with Washington Diamond was flawless! Tom was experienced, helpful, and a lot of fun to make this special, and expensive choice with. The diamonds and settings they offer are beautiful. They work within your budget and the prices were fair. We couldn't be happier with our rings and the choice to go with Washington Diamond.
Chris Cook
Washington Diamond provided a wonderful experience for me and my fiance. They provided a no-pressure environment, were kind, and answered all of our questions. We could not be happier with the rings we chose for our wedding. Highly recommend Washington Diamond over any other jewelry store in the DC area!
Ian Cruz
Let's face it, buying an engagement ring is a not an insignificant financial decision. At Washington Diamond I told Tom my budget and he never pressured me to exceed it. As a matter of fact, he bent over backwards to help me create the perfect custom ring for my perfect fiancé without spending a penny more than I had planned. Tom is a true professional and a pleasure to work with in every way. We will be back soon for our wedding bands!
Shira Gottlieb
My husband and I went to Washington Diamond for my engagement ring and our wedding bands. The pieces turned out perfectly and we could not be happier! Tom Daube was great to work with--very helpful and we never felt pressured. We are so glad that we found Tom and Washington Diamond!!
Korey Benton
I looked all over the DC area for several months searching for the perfect ring and kept coming up short everywhere I tried. I finally heard about Washington Diamond and I knew I needed to check into it further. From the first call, to the day I took my custom designed ring home everyone was great to work with. I met with Tom Daube who I felt very comfortable with from the start, great knowledge and really listened to what I wanted instead of just trying to sell me like the other stores I had visited. Tom had a vast knowledge he helped to share with me and his passion was immediately evident. There was no pressure and he knew how to listen to what I wanted and help me find/build exactly what I wanted in an engagement ring. He found the perfect diamond and then built me an beautiful ring that my fiancée absolutely loved. I will encourage anyone to visit Washington Diamond for their engagement rings. I couldn't be happier and will certainly be back in the future. Thank you so much Tom, I appreciate all of your help.
Jim Cogbill
This was my second time to purchase an engagement ring, the 1st being through a well known online retailer. The prices between the two were comparable, but the service at Washington Diamond was vastly superior. They helped me to sell the diamond on the old ring and then custom designed a new engagement ring. We've been back a couple of times since then for the wedding bands and it's been a pleasure working with Tom and the rest of the staff.
J
I worked with Tom to create a custom ring. Through the whole process the customer service couldn't have been better and by all accounts the ring came out perfect and was the exact design requested. In particular, you could tell that the ring was built more sturdy than normal and Washington Diamond took pride in the work.
Xavier Pitts
The service at Washington Diamond was absolutely amazing. Walter, Ryan, and Charlotte all played a role in helping me select a diamond ring. Walter was my salesman, he was patient, kind, and listened to my needs. I made a total of three trips to Washington Diamond and each time Walter provided exceptional service. The quality of diamonds Walter provided was all above average, GIA certified, and competitively priced. Walter was confident enough to provide me quotes to price check other diamond stores. After price checking several stores and researching online outlets, I was assured that I was getting the best value from Washington Diamond. Now that I have proposed and hear the compliments my fiancée receives, I would definitely recommend Washington Diamond to anyone looking to buy an engagement ring or jewelry more broadly.
Ruth Rasby
Bought our wedding/engagement rings here. We spent the day visiting stores and we lucked out and got to walk in (usually you need an appt) and work with the owner of the store Tom.
Such a good experience and we are very pleased with the rings. Tom talked to us about all the technical aspects of the gem and ended up making a mold because he didn't have exactly what I wanted.
All around awesome place, if you are going to spend a lot on fine jewelry do it here. They know what they are doing. I am pretty sure they are family run.
Steve de Lazaro
Our experience at Washington Diamond was excellent in all respects. When I was ready to propose, I was referred to diamond expert Tom Daube by friends of ours who obtained their engagement ring and wedding bands from him a few years earlier and I understood immediately why. Tom and his staff were engaging, personable, and professional from the beginning and all throughout. Most importantly, they listened to me as I described the style of engagement ring I was seeking -- to include examining some rough drawings I made -- and my affordable price range. Tom very easily narrowed my search down to four or five stones and separate rings for me to consider. With Tom's help, I chose the engagement ring and subsequently surprised by bride, Stela. Later, we were easily able to exchange the setting to something more compatible with Stela's wedding band (I did get big points for trying, though). Actually, Tom was able to easily match the styles of engagement ring and wedding band to achieve a look that is often complimented by family, friends, and others. Re-sizing was also easily accomplished. Tom made the experience understandable by explaining the different diamond cuts, grades, and other characteristics and by doing the same for the various metal options for the rings. His patience in answering all of our questions and understanding our preferences kept this a very positive experience. Likewise the client care specialists -- many thanks to Ryan and Charlotte -- made scheduling, payment, delivery of invoice and insurance documents, and pick-up very smooth and convenient. We recommend Washington Diamond to anyone ready to make this decision and investment.
Marcus southern
The customer service experience is truly what sets Washington Diamond apart from stores we looked at. Erin and Walter have provided us with welcoming and knowledgeable service each time we've come in. Walter spent time educating us on the nuances of the 4 C's (Cut, Clarity, Carat, and Color) in way that left us feeling informed and empowered to make a great choice. They have continued to take care of us even after we bought the ring. They have repaired and cleaned free of charge.
Thank you for everything!
Patrick Bean
I visited Washington Diamond in search of an engagement ring. I was so impressed by their product and service that I returned to them for their wedding rings! Their customer service is helpful and pleasant. I had Walter help me and my fiance with the selection and we learned all about the rings and diamonds we purchased. We worked within my budget and made sure that the rings were unique to us. My fiance and I are thrilled about our rings. Walter answered all my questions and demonstrated expert knowledge and Ryan is very friendly and made sure that I received the appraisals, the best deals/sales, and assisted with scheduling appointments. Their hours are similar to bankers hours and it is required that an appointment is scheduled. The availability was reasonable for a thriving business, and the turnover time for my rings were excellent! I definitely recommend this gem of a jewelry store above the others in the area.
Patrick Tadesse
Hands down the best place to go to when picking an engagement ring! The staff is super friendly and Tom worked with me for over a year to help me plan a once in a lifetime event for my Fiancé. I walked in there with a certain budget and walked out with a certified top quality antique diamond ring that my Fiancé gets complemented on daily. We even walked into another diamond store that stated they could not beat the deal I received for the quality of diamond on her hand.
If you are looking for true quality and a place that will work with you on your budget at incredible prices then this is the place to be! We will definitely be back to purchase our wedding bands.
Dave Morrison
After several weeks of reading all I could find about diamonds and engagement rings I was more confused than when I started. Several friends and co workers had told me about Washington Diamond and said they had a great experience so I called and spoke with Ryan. Unlike may places nowadays, when I spoke with Ryan over the phone, and since then over email, she was very helpful, courteous, and professional. From the moment I walked into the store I felt comfortable and that feeling for Washington Diamond continues on to today. When I first sat down to speak with Walter all I had was a picture of engagement ring style that I had found out my girlfriend loved and her ring size. Walter explained what style ring that was, since I had no idea, and we set about choosing the diamond and setting. During this entire time I did not feel pressured or that I was wasting his time.
The ring turned out splendidly and my fiancee is getting compliments on it all the time.
I can not say enough about how happy I am with the ring and the service I received from Walter and Ryan.
Paul Knowlton
My wife and I are new to the NOVA area and when the need arose we didn't know a jeweler. In the process of the usual online research we happened to ask a recently married couple in our neighborhood who said, "Washington Diamond and look no further." Fortunately we took their advice are couldn't be happier. Tom Daube and his team are more than expert professionals, they're also fantastic people. We got the service and product we wanted at a fair price, and we left feeling like family. I encourage you to accept the good advice we did, "Washington Diamond and look no further."
Steve Roche
As I was shopping for an engagement ring, I was directed to Washington Diamond by a number of friends and colleagues and I was not disappointed. Tom Daube and the staff there were very helpful, especially with a newbie in the ring buying/jewelry process, and helped me find a perfect ring and setting within my budget. Their commitment to service, personal care and quality products have made me a lifelong customer!
Jake P.
My experience with Washington Diamond was so positive that I need to leave a lengthy review. A friend recommended Tom so we made him our first consultation. I called him the day before and told him my modest budget, which he did a good job at keeping secret in front of the lady. Tom quickly identified which tradeoffs she cared about and which she didn’t and presented us with his best tailored options to that end. One option pushed my budget, but he explained why it was in fact the best value. Afterwards I spent a week researching everything there was to learn about diamonds. Tom was telling the truth: it was a smokin’ deal.
I set out with Tom’s quote and went on other appointments around DC. I shopped intelligently, like I was buying a new car: here’s my leading quote, can you beat it? No one could even come close. As I became increasingly educated on the market and the options available, I began to understand that Tom had truly extended me an amazing deal. I went for it. Needless to say, the final product was stunning. Online may be king in 2019, but there are still family-owned businesses out there who can beat all other options and provide a valuable human relationship at the same time. We both loved Tom’s humor and the intensely personal process at Washington Diamond. Go to Tom and rest assured that this average Joe with a modest budget already did all of your homework for you: it doesn’t get any better than this. If you go anywhere else you are not only making a serious mistake, but also losing out on the experience of letting WD make this purchase a special and memorable process. Would give them 20 stars if I could, but all these reviews speak for themselves.
Greg Bath
I've been a customer for 20 years and have always been 100% pleased with the excellent quality and honesty of Washington Diamond! I have bought new jewelry from them and also had them repair and redesign old jewelry. They are the best! I highly recommend Washington Diamond!
James Cohen
I had the pleasure of designing an engagement ring as well as purchasing wedding bands from Washington Diamond. The real gem in the store is Tom. Tom is open, helpful, hilarious and made the entire process enjoyable. Highly recommend.
Scott Sforza
This was my third time working with Walter Via. He helped us select our engagement and wedding bands two years ago, and the assistance he gave us was the same as it was then - absolutely wonderful! On my last visit, I asked Walter if he could help me find something special for my wife to remember a family member that we recently lost. He understood exactly what I needed and found the perfect item. He was very compassionate throughout the process, and Erin McGann was, too. They went the extra mile to make sure the gift would be very special for my wife, even ensuring the box and wrapping paper were just right. I would recommend Washington Diamond to anyone. I know we will continue to come back in the years to come.
Eugene He
I bought my Fiance's engagement ring from Walter here last holiday season. I didn't want a "big box" experience, so I opted to give them a call. I'm glad I did. I had an appointment later that week, and the entire process was instructional, informative, but most of all PRESSURE FREE!
I had my eye on a sapphire gemstone, with a specific band design as well. After looking through several stones and bands, I found the perfect combo, at the perfect price. No haggling back and forth, and best of all they are right down the street so I know I can always call and talk to someone if there are any issues.
Speaking of which, shortly after my Fiance started wearing the ring, one of the small diamonds came loose on the band. One phone call, and visit later Washington Diamond replaced it with no questions asked! Several months later, a resize was needed, and once again, easy and very smooth process.
We are now looking to get our wedding bands here, and if the experience is anything like the original I know that we've made an excellent decision!
Michelle Owen West
Washington Diamond has been my exclusive jeweler since I upgraded my engagement and wedding ring set for my 5th anniversary in 2005. Since then, I have purchased platinum engraved bands, a diamond pendant necklace, a string of pearls, custom asscher cut stud diamond earrings, and most recently a set of pear shaped aquamarine drop earrings set in diamonds with a matching pendant.
That last purchase helped me commemorate my grandmother and my professional mentor, both of whom I lost in 2015. My grandmother taught me to map the great events of my life in jewelry, so I mapped her passing with a beautiful set she could be proud of in aquamarines, my professional mentor's birth stone. I think of them both every time I wear these remarkable pieces.
Washington Diamond has been helping me mark the great events of my life for 11 years now, and I would never consider going to anyone else. The quality, the customization, and the high-end service is unmatched. This store is a jewel in sleepy little Falls Church, and I always look forward to my visits there.
Jon Wollam
Excellent Customer service!
My husband chose to get my engagement ring and bands here 10 years ago because it was rated top jewelry store in DC area. He did a lot of research, and chose one of the best sellers in the DC area. Since then I have not went anywhere else! Not only do they have a wide variety of high value unique jewelry but the customer service is amazing. I would highly recommend!
Brian Douglas
I went Washington Diamond because I wanted the best for my fiancée and I knew they would have a great selection of diamonds to choose from! My brother-in-law purchased there first, followed by two other friends of mine. I randomly got paired with Walter upon scheduling my first visit. Immediately after the visit (yes it took me 4 to decide!), I knew I was in good hands. Walter educated me on every "facet" with respect to diamonds, and he was respectful of my budget (which you always go over!). We also realized that we had about 8 degrees of separation, so it made the whole buying process much more personal. If I could sum up my experience in a word it would be "personal"!
This is the single biggest cash purchase you will make, next to a down payment on a house, and I couldn't have been happier with the customer service experience. This included everyone at the service desk, as Ryan was also polite and very helpful! As others have indicated, I went elsewhere to make sure I was getting the best deal possible, which included jewelers that my family has used for a long time. I looked forward to future purchases at Washington Diamond!
Pauline Waddell
Washington Diamonds was recommended to me by a friend. I'm so happy I went there to choose my diamond ring. I brought my grandmothers diamond and they set it into a beautiful ring. Adding grandmother's diamond made the ring extra special. I'm so pleased with the results. Thank you for a no pressure, fun and informative session. I will definitely shop here again.
Kaylie Clark
Do we recommend Washington Diamond? As highly as we can. The way Tom Daube runs things at Washington Diamond is a picture of they way I would want to run a business. Customer service and quality is the name of the game. We were able to develop a relationship with Tom who worked with us directly on our ring. He is relatable and has a genuine way of interacting with you. It feels more like he is your friend and not just a business owner. You get to know him as a person as he gets to know you and you feel comfortable communicating all of you concerns and desires. You have his full attention for the entire hour you are there at each appointment and he really cares about finding what you want and getting it done, and getting it done the best way possible. Yet he also has a casual candor that facilitates knowing each other on a real, human level and helps you get the best product even if something you want might not work. After shopping around at a number of jewelers, we felt completely confident that his place stood out. We had him create a custom ring I drew. He seemed like he took a real interest in my work and wanted to get it exactly right with painstaking accuracy. He was really careful to talk through all the details and feasibility of each flourish (making sure it captures what you want but also ensures the structural integrity for a long-lasting product). He wanted to make sure the final product was up to his high standards. He even adjusted his standard workflow to what he thought would best get the final result right, even he incurred additional costs doing so. That was really impressive to me. He was able to work through the challenges of bringing our design to a final product in a way that created a positive relationship of respect between us. We were really happy with the ring we bought. I admire it daily and we’ll continue to go back to him. We felt motivated to do our best by him as he did his best by us. He was always gracious and professional at every turn. I ended up sending a coworker there to get their custom engagement right made, and they were pleased too. I was and am happy to do all I can to support Tom’s business. I was so grateful we chose him.
Joseph Rainey
My fiancé and I had a great experience picking out her engagement ring with Tom Daube of Washington Diamond. He clearly explained our options and recommended some things we ultimately adopted. The ring turned out amazing and my fiancé loves it!
Dan Golovato
I have been purchasing jewelry from Washington Diamond for over 35 years. My son recently purchased engagement rings and matching earrings so we are in to our second generation. WD is always fair on price and provides exceptional service. I live on the west coast and WD is in Virginia. Most recently my wife commented on a multi strand gold necklace worn on TV. I took a screen shot and sent it to Tom Daube. We worked back and forth together over about 30 days to get the length, separation and overall look correct. Tom had the necklace fabricated in time for Xmas and it came out fabulous. I recommend WD to everyone I know on both coasts. They are a pleasure to do business with.
Frank Wang
I was referred to Washington Diamond, and I was told that I could put my faith and trust in them. My friend was absolutely right. They were professional, informative, knowledgeable, friendly, and excited to be a part of my engagement story. They put absolutely no pressure on me to buy from them, and they went the extra mile to find diamonds that met a higher than normal standard of documentation (all without an agreement to buy). It was an awesome experience that did made every other jeweler I visited look bad.
Jean Shortsleeves
I had to have an MRI and had not taken off my wedding band in many years. Finally, I did get it off so it didn't have to be cut off. I decided I would get it and my engagement ring sized. Erin at Washington Diamond took the measurements of the rings and my finger to get the right fit. When I picked them up, it was like they were brand new even though they were 45 yrs. old. Erin was a great help. She was professional and efficient but also made you feel comfortable. It was a joy to work with her.
Darren Caumont
Simply put, you will not find better value for your money or a more enjoyable fine jewelry shopping experience. Tom and co. are attentive, friendly, and genuinely care about their customers. I've been shopping with Washington Diamond for well over a decade and despite moving 100 miles away, I won't place my trust in any other jewler.
Kelly Brown
If you are looking for quality jewelry at a good price, go no further than Washington Diamond. And if you want to deal with people who know their craft and can make recommendations, than you are also at the right place. I am proud to say that 3 generations of our family have shopped at Washington Diamond. They are the best!
Sandy Gilchrist
Best jeweler ever! The customer service by all members at Washington Diamond is the best you could imagine. We have been using them for over 6 years now, and have been very pleased with all of our purchases. Tom is the best!
Keane Kellum
I worked with Tom based on a recommendation from a friend. I checked out a couple of the other local places in that area as well. I just felt more comfortable with Tom and his approach. The process was painless (For me), we talked about the pros and cons of the design, the diamond and everything in between. He didn't seem to mind the questions, the redesign or the waffling on my part etc...He even talked me out of spending more money at one point. In the end, I got something that completely exceeded my expectations. The ring was beautiful in the store but it is absolutely gorgeous in everyday life.
Matthew Olsen
Bought a ring from Tom Daube; he was very professional, all business, and helpful. I had also shopped around at Mervis and Jared's; compared to the reps at those places, Tom was the most knowledgeable. Tom can sometimes come across as a little gruff... like I said above, he is all business. Don't let this mislead you; pay attention to the facts/data, not the emotions the store instills in you. That said, Tom offered the best quality diamond for the lowest price. I also personally found the ring settings to be best at Washington Diamond. The Mervis sales rep showered me with praise every step of the way, but the diamonds all contained inclusions visible to the naked eye (beware EGL israel; inflated diamond ratings). Jared's sales rep were downright aggressive... they wouldnt let me leave the store with out putting down a deposit; unfortunately their ring settings were all ugly.
My fiance receives random compliments from strangers on her ring; before I started looking at rings, I wasn't sure if buying such a material gift would be worth it; it was.

Tom makes you feel special and part of the family at Washington Diamond. Not only have I personally had a wonderful experience at Washington Diamond, but I have many friends who use Tom as their Jewerler and they have nothing but great things to say. I will continue to recommend Tom to all my family and friends!

Tom and the rest of the staff here are absolutely amazing. He listened to what we wanted and was able to pick out pieces that were perfect. He also was able to pick the different aspects from rings that my husband liked and combined them into one custom ring.
Great quality. Great service. 100% recommended and we will be coming back for all our fine jerewely needs.

I could not be happier with my experience at Washington Diamond. Within 7 days, Tom Daube guided us through the design phase offering creative and value add suggestions which ultimately led to a definite "Yes". Level of Service, Quality, and Price are unbeatable.
Travis Hallman
Tom, Erin and the Washington Diamond staff were tremendous to work with. The quality of my Fiance's engagement ring turned out absolutely stunning. Looking forward to working with you all again soon!
Stephen DiMuzio
Their customer service and attention to detail are second to none. I also really appreciate that they pride themselves on educating the consumer (without being highbrow or condescending) and adhere to a strict standard of working with only GIA certified diamonds-ultimately protecting you as a consumer.
They respect the fact that most people don't have an unlimited budget when it comes to making a diamond or jewelry purchase, and take the time to show you a wide range of options to meet your needs. While they can be slightly more expensive than the local and national chains, the quality of their pieces provides a great value to the consumer, and the continued level of personal service after your purchase definitely sets them apart.
If you are looking for a great customer experience I would definitely give the folks at Washington Diamond a call.
Michael McAdams
Like many first time diamond buyers, I didn't have a clue where to start. Tom Daube and the folks at Washington Diamond helped me every step of the way, turning what can be a very stressful process into an enjoyable experience. Tom provided me with a wealth of honest information to ensure I got the best diamond within my budget. I appreciate everyone's help at Washington Diamond and look forward to being a customer for years to come.
J Matthews
I looked everywhere trying to find a wedding band to match my unique engagement ring. I was starting to lose hope when a friend recommended Washington Diamond. I could not be happier. I found exactly what I was looking for and the staff was amazing. They answered all our questions and helped me find the perfect wedding band. I would recommend them to anyone!
Francine S
I get my husband and my wedding bands cleaned here. I’ve gone twice already, and they are the best! Very quick, yet diligent in their work. Our rings continue looking brand new thanks to Washington diamond!
Susan Thompson
Have been a customer since 1992...never disappointed. They always have the best price compared with ANY other jeweler and the absolute BEST service anywhere. And Tom Daube is a rock star in terms of knowledge in his industry and how helpful and HONEST he is. Cannot say enough good things.
Kevin Kelly
I looked at many jewelers in the greater DC area to find the design I wanted and had no luck, within moments of my appointment at Washington Diamond Denelle not only showed me the exact setting style I desired, but also helped customize the ring design to meet all of my needs. All other jewelers seemed to try and work to find a setting that was like what I wanted, but Washington Diamond worked to create exactly what I desired.
Mitch Wynnyk
Fantastic service, Walter was great. Work is done on site and quickly. It is by appointment only, but this allows them to give you plenty of one-on-one attention, without having to look over another customer's shoulders to see the jewelry. Walter felt more honest than some of the other jewelers in the area I've talked to... he's not just trying to make the sale at all costs like other salespeople I had met with. He simply gives the best honest service, which sells itself. Evening hours are convenient.
John Koehn
We have been customers for over 10 years. I bought my wife's engagement ring here in 2006 and have subsequently purchased several items. The staff are nice and professional without being pushy. I highly recommend this store to anyone looking to purchase jewelry, especially diamonds.
Aaron Trout
I came in to pick up my wedding bands after they were engraved. The hand engraving was amazing and customer service was great as always. Erin also had the engagement ring cleaned as well before my wedding this weekend.
Jeff
Washington Diamond's buying experience made us both feel quite comfortable. Tom helped us find the perfect ring! We greatly appreciated his professionalism and dedication.
Ben Husch
Could not have been more pleased with the entire package. From customer service (Walter and Ryan) to the quality of their products and even the prices. Even helped me with adding to my issuance policies I bought bought both the engagement ring and wedding bands and will definitely be back.
Chris P
A true professional team offers great service while making sure you get a good deal.
Let's just say when it comes to shopping and researching things, I am not an amature. I have done my homework, consult with friends, visited the mass advertised dealers and did my rounds multiple time in those advertised "half priced" custom stores in the area. Not only the service was not that impressive as they said but the prices are not that good as people said and thought. (I did my home work).
Just about the time I was about to give up and settled with what I found at the time, I called Washington Diamind down the street to just check them out by chance. I was lucky enough to meet Denelle and have her help me to pick out the engagement ring that I needed.
I keep asking myself why I did not go there earlier, it will save me all the time and hassle, but I was also glad that I didn't go to them at the beginning because I won't know what a difference they have made comparing others.
I can write up the entire process if people are interested. To save your time on your shopping experience, don't waste your time in those mass advertised "custom jewlers" who had to make up their advertising cost on you. Forget the other jewlers who might want to make a quick sale on you as well and visit Washington Diamonds. You will not be rushed, ignored or overcharged. The team at Washington Diamond will truly make the experience easy, stressless and feeling good about your purchase.
David Tenney
Washington Diamond was, actually, much better than I could have expected from a jewelry store! I must admit I was a bit scared at first just because this was the largest single purchase I had ever made (all my cars have been second or third hand thus far). But as soon as I got in the store, I could tell there was no pressuring or trying to impress me with over-the-top fancy displays and gimmicks, unlike another jewelry store I visited before. Anyway, all the way from the owner to the receptionist, WD treated me well and listened to my every wish and concern. I was recommended WD from a roommate and have already bragged about it to others and hope some of them end up considering WD for their future jewelry purchases!
Impressed and thankful.
Rachel S Chiang
My experience was wonderful. I got my engagement ring reset and my wedding band there. They initially put in the wrong order but corrected it right a way and was very accommodating. The atmosphere was very downn-to-earth, not pretentious or overpriced. the representatives were very knowledgable.
Megan Moulton-Levy
Washington Diamond always takes good care of us. They are extremely knowledgeable and and helpful. We highly recommend them and will continue to work with them for all of our diamond needs :)

We purchased our wedding bands and engagement ring from Washington Diamond. Our family has been going here for years. Wonderful experience. We will only go back to Washington Diamond.
Sheila E. Isong
Great experience overall. Staff communication was excellent and they were flexible with my unique needs. I also felt that pricing was fair and honest. I'd definitely recommend working with Tom but the entire staff was helpful; not to mention the ring was beautiful. 6 stars out of 5!!!
Mike Ragsdale
I purchased my an engagement ring here in July and could not be happier (neither could my fiancee). Tom was extremely helpful in selecting the right stone and ring for me. I can't recommend this place enough.
Kevin Turner
Purchased our rings there four years. My wife's ring was a custom design and they a great job. She still gets compliments to this day. Great service, top notch professionalism.

Leigh Lam
Washington Diamond delivers high quality products and services. This is the only place I trust and I have high standards. Tom is very helpful and fair. He knows how to retain old customers. Thank you!
Jill F.
I would highly recommend Washington Diamond Co. The staff offered a quote via email (better then any other quote previously received from other places) which was then honored at the appointment. Tom made the selling process quick and painless and followed-up as promised. Great experience!
Dan Walter
I've been going to Tom and his team for 10+ years. Always memorably great service and beautiful, high quality jewelry. I continue to recommend them to friends looking for advice on important purchases.
Alison Warner
Customer service was great! The wedding rings that we purchased there years ago were cleaned and polished for free. We also had a ring sized and cleaned. They all came out beautifully.
Pam Adams
Wonderful in every way! I am so pleased with the custom piece that they made for me! They had made a ring for me years ago which I was also so happy with. They are easily my "go-to" jewelry store and I would highly recommend them to my friends!
Brian Fleury
I had a great experience! Tom was great and helped me design an engagement ring, and then helped us pick a wedding band. Would definitely recommend!

Ben Lundquist
Best place to buy jewelry ever. Been going here for over 20 years now and I have yet to find another jeweler that makes me feel like I am getting a good piece and good value, for the money that I spend :)
Teddy Matheu
This was my second purchase at Washington Diamond. The staff, and specially Walter, are knowledgeable and professional. They ask you question that make it easy to describe what you are looking for and produce what you want. I trust Washington Diamond as I know they will find, put together, and deliver on time every time.
Thank you!
Todd Spignardo
Great experience! Wonderful service and quality. Thanks Tom, she loves it.
Gemechu Aga
This is the best place to go if you are looking for best diamond rings for engagement at a reasonable price. Most of all, the team is very supportive, efficient and they deliver what they promise.
Highly recommended.
Anne Grelier
I brought a ring of my own to the shop for engraving. It was a small/narrow ring with very little space for engraving but they did an excellent job! The price was very good too. I am very satisfied!
Thomas Calhoun Jr (T.C. The CATALYST)
Tom is quite possibly the most knowledgeable diamond expert in Washington D.C. If you're thinking about getting an engagement ring, drop your sketchy mall jeweler, call Washington Diamond, and ask for Tom!
Bridgett Sanders
Tom is absolutely wonderful! The staff is gracious and helpful. What an incredible experience today. I would go again and again. Thank you, Washington Diamond.
Christopher Restino
Great service, Walter was wonderful and provided me with no-pressure advice. Was ecstatic with the finish product as well as the price. Really enjoyed the appointment only shopping and the service was great.

Went beyond my expectations by getting a ring done in one day and very reasonably.
