“This store is a gem - both for everyday beautiful pieces and for designing custom pieces. I designed 4 customs pieces with the Shelter team and from start to finish they were patient, helpful, and insightful, offering expert opinions and recommendations about what would best protect and represent my stones and my vision. I could not have been happier with my experience!”
“This is an excellent local jewelry store conveniently located one block from the Cleveland Park metro station. I recently needed some custom jewelry pieces cleaned and repaired and wanted professional feedback. I was quoted a very reasonable price with a quick turnaround. Overall, it was a great customer experience, and I will be a return customer.”

“I have been very pleased several times with Ideal Cut Jewelers for jewelry repair. Their prices are reasonable, and the craftsmanship is excellent. I highly recommend this jeweler.”
“I got two watches from a Bolivian street market in 2020, so they aren’t really expensive but they are special to me because I bought them on an international trip. Anyway, I took these watches in Secrète fine jewelry in DuPont circle because the batteries were out and the links needed adjusting to my wrist. I was greeted warmly and my issues were addressed timely by Ginevra. I thought I needed links removed, but actually my watch has a band that allows it to be adjusted without removing links. She showed me how to do that free of charge. She asked if I was a “collector” and Im like no but I am interested in starting a collection. Ginerva gives me the run down of Hamilton Watches and I think I have a new favorite brand. They are affordable but expensive enough to feel like a big gift to yourself. I have myself a new jeweler. Five stars for Secrète fine jewelry.”
“Very kind and courteous staff. Ahmed Mazen in Rolex was exceptional and genuine in listening to my interests and obtaining a timepiece for me. I’ve purchased two timepieces so far from Tiny Jewel Box, looking forward to continuing the relationship.”

“The staff here are very knowledgeable and honest, and the service is prompt. They fixed my watch after I dropped it on concrete and knocked several of the numbers off the face.”
“Love, Love, Love!! This DC location allows you to pick up to 3 loose diamonds you are comparing online, and view them in store via an appointment with their gemologist. I highly recommend this service as I was surprised how diamonds look very different online versus in person. Just take care with what you order because you are going to fall in absolute love with the biggest and the best and the most expensive guaranteed!! They also have bands you can try on in their design center. My channel band was not available in store and they would not bring it into the store so luckily it's exactly what I wanted. My understanding is you have 30 days to return or exchange if you want something different.”
“No matter the business, it feels rare to find an establishment that excels in both quality and customer service. iGorman exceeds expectations on both counts! I’ve been there several times and always feel welcome and heard. Even when issues arise, the Bonnie and the rest of the Gorman family are quick to make things right. I will definitely be going back for any future jewelry needs.”
“Had to get a watch resized. They were very welcoming and friendly. I had basic questions about my watch and they took the time to show me what to do. Absolutely amazing!”

“Loved the efficiency of the customization process and the beautiful designs! Our associate Denvil was attentive and extremely helpful. Very pleased with the promotions and military discount.”
“I was walking by and saw the sale. Leah was so warm, friendly, and knowledgeable about all the products that I got so much stuff! I also got to learn about the Color Bar. This is my new favorite store!”
“Who knew this process was so stressful ??. That is until I got connected to Boone & Sons...From the first call, Pete Boone and the team were warm, easy to work with, and made the process simple. The finished product was beyond expectations and done at a competitive price point. I will ONLY go to Boone & Sons for my custom jewelry needs from now on.”
“I cannot give enough praise for Afram! I had a custom ring designed for my engagement and the end-to-end process was fantastic. Miriam was incredibly responsive, and she took all of my design requests into consideration. She was incredibly considerate of the specificity we were looking for, and worked with me to make sure the ring was exactly what my partner wanted! This was such a stressful time, and the amount of care, kindness, and dedication that went into making me feel like a valued customer was amazing. In store, Eva and Sam were a pleasure to work with. Eva was wonderful to showcase all of the jewelry, from bands to stones she was so knowledgeable and considerate. I also brought watches to Sam for cleaning and battery changes, which were done to perfection. We will be coming back again and again!”
“I started classes after a jeweler I admire recommended studying with Dan to learn metalsmithing with the proper techniques, and I'm so glad I did!
Years later, I've set up my own workshop and do custom projects for clients, but I still study with Dan through the extended program because:
-The shop is so well-equipped and I've never been restricted by the availability of tools/equipment
-I am still learning so much from the class projects he designs, which result in beautiful, wearable pieces that allow students to learn and practice multiple skills and techniques through the process.
-Dan is there to provide solid guidance and help figure out the tougher/unfamiliar parts of my custom projects so I feel confident in delivering good work to clients
-There's an open attitude and general expectation of feedback. Students genuinely want to learn and have high expectations of their own work.
-It's fun and feels great to be in the studio! The students are supportive and fun to be around; everyone has their unique style and focus, and there's a sense of community.
It's a unique experience, whether you just want to explore or make it a big part of your life.”

“ArtTepuy? boutique at La Cosecha has such a vibrant and beautifully curated collection of
art, jewelry and handcrafted items from various Latin countries. The jewelry on display is really eye-catching and unique. ArtTepuy has so many lovely earrings and bracelets along with colorful cards and decorative items.
I had a chance to meet and chat with the owner, Mariela, who is wonderful and so passionate about showcasing a broad range of art and handmade items from Latin American countries.
It was a joy to explore the boutique, which is so colorful and filled with some very special pieces that would make great gifts.
It’s Hispanic Heritage month, so an especially perfect time to support a small business like ArtTepuy.
Parking is easy in that there is a parking garage under La Cosecha where you can park for free for 3hrs.”

“Mia Gemma has both beautiful jewelry and amazing customer service. With less than a week until our wedding, I still hadn't found earrings/gifts for my bridesmaids. I contacted Mia Gemma and Irene helped me find a beautiful and unique pair of earrings that was just right for their dresses, their taste, and the aesthetic of the wedding. Everyone loved them. Irene was so understanding of my last minute time frame and rushed the order. She arranged for me to pick them up at the nearby home of a Mia Gemma colleague (Lynn) who wrapped them beautifully and even gave me a card and small gift to celebrate our wedding. The earrings were just lovely and Irene and Lynn were so kind and helpful. This was my first time working with Mia Gemma and definitely not my last. Thank you so much!”
“Very pleased with the instant service I received on a watch battery replacement today! Really appreciate the stellar reception and reasonable cost. Thank you for your friendliness and courtesy too!”
“Such an awesome cute little boutique in the heart of DuPont Circle DC. All kinds of beautiful Mediterranean knick knacks, dresses, craft jewelry and such.The owner and employees are very kind and friendly. Reasonable prices on their merchandise and a little bit of something for everyone.”
“This is the most classy and high quality jewelry location in the DC area. We've been purchasing from Ann Hand for over 10 years and have always been pleased with the in person and mail service. Classic designs, one of a kind items in the showroom, and Friendly staff. It's my first stop for a special gift.”
“This was my second time visiting The Phoenix. Very cute shop with a unique inventory. I was able to find a cute gift for my brother. I do agree with other reviews, the employees watch you as a hawk, but I just ignore them. The cashier was very nice and even offered to pack the gift, free of charge! I will the wrapping paper would have been Christmas colors instead of a bright yellow. Most items are on the expensive side. Still, I'll be returning... probably for Mother's Day.”
“What a wonderful experience in updating my mother’s charm bracelet for me. 8 charms with my siblings names and DOB.When Mom passed away, 1 sister inherited it. When she passed I got it. I have her mother’s ring.I shall proudly were them both next week during one of my other family members memorial.I have a happy heart and will enjoy wearing the love of family.”
“Went here with what I thought was a broken watch I inherited. They told me straight away it didn't need a battery or fixing as it recharged via movement. 10/10 their honesty impressed me, I'll be coming back.”
“I love catbird and am so glad to have a storefront in DC! I stopped in and while the pieces are always beautiful, the staff are lovely too. Heather was so helpful and sweet and made the jewelry shopping experience what it is meant to be — fun and magical! I will definitely come back”
“What a fun and fabulous store! Lisa went above and beyond in helping us choose several gifts for dear friends! There are so many terrific and witty gift ideas here ranging from luxe items for divas to earthly eco-gifts for botanical loving friends. The gorgeous diamond charms and linen scarves are worth a look.”
“The most incredible jewelry, impeccable make and only the best quality... I.m fortunate enough to have several of their stunning pieces, and The Shah's and team there are aways open to collaboration and re-inventing old pieces. Just the best!”
“Visited with MIL - a gem of a find. While small, lots of beautiful and unique gifts, especially for the hard-to-shop-for category. The owner was a delight and we were happy to leave with nice gifts for others (bags, jewelry, and definitely some for ourselves). It's right off Eastern Market and upstairs from a cards and balloons shop so a bit hard to see from the street - but worth seeking out!”
“I love this store, both the Shirlington and Wharf locations! They have a variety of unique gift ideas - but my favorite is their selection of vintage jewelry 5 stars all the way!”
“It was an absolutely pleasure dealing with Janette Davila. She was so caring in understanding what I wanted and was very knowledgeable and friendly. She found me exactly what I was wanting plus she was a pure treasure in helping find a beautiful Mother’s Day gift for my wife. Janette is definitely an asset to Mercia Diamonds, Thank you once again.”
