We adored our experience with Anthony. From the first consultation with us, he was kind, informative and took the time to explain everything we needed to know. He guided us through the process and our budget, and helped pick out the best quality ring he could find. My fiancée cannot stop gushing about her ring, and we will guide anyone we can to Protea for their engagement ring experience.

Anthony is a true professional. He walked me through buying a ring for my then girlfriend, and I had no idea what I was doing. Now I'm engaged, and the ring and, more importantly, the diamond was perfect. He's transparent, straightforward, and will not rush you into a decision. His prices are better than anything you'll find in a store, on par with online wholesalers, but his service and quality are 1000 times better. Go with Anthony (Protea Diamonds), and you will have no regrets! 6 out of 5 if Google would let me.

Anthony absolutely nailed the final product. He worked with us through all of our request modifications and adjustments, took his time explaining the process, and is overall an honest businessman. We could not be more happy with the end result, and we cannot wait to come back for our wedding bands. It’s everything we wanted and more.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Protea Diamonds to create a stunning custom anniversary band, incorporating several small heirloom diamonds that I inherited. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional.
Anthony exhibited a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout the entire process. He listened attentively to my ideas and preferences, ensuring that the final design reflected both my style and sentimental value.
The resulting anniversary band is truly exquisite. The diamonds have been beautifully set, showcasing their brilliance and uniqueness. Every time I wear the band, I am reminded of its significance and the craftsmanship that went into its creation.
Thank you, Anthony, for creating a piece that I will cherish for years to come.

In 2013 we visited Protea and Anthony helped us to design a wonderful engagement ring. For our 10th anniversary of our 2014 wedding, I wanted to surprise my wife with a piece of special jewelry. Once again, Anthony gave me great advice and I picked out a beautiful emerald-cut diamond pendant. Anthony is very knowledgeable, provides clear explanations and different options. We really value his insight and personal approach.

Shopping for engagement and wedding rings with Anthony was a truly pleasurable experience that exceeded all my expectations. He explained how to choose good quality diamonds and bands while showing lots of examples from his vast collection. We were able to customize all aspects of our rings to get exactly what my wife had always dreamed of. The one-on-one attention with Anthony made us feel at ease, and he doesn't employ high-pressure sales tactics like many traditional jewelry stores. My wife gets complimented on her ring everywhere we go, and it just exudes quality. We couldn't be happier.

Had a great experience selecting and building our wedding anniversary ring at Protea. Anthony expertly guided us through the available options for our band and made some terrific recommendations. We couldn’t be happier with the end result and the price was very reasonable. We’ve been buying jewelry from Protea for about 25 years now and would happily recommend them.

Anthony at Protea Diamonds made my engagement ring shopping experience truly exceptional. Having visited several major diamond retailers in DC and almost settling on a ring, I decided to explore one last store for due diligence, and I'm so glad I did. Anthony's expertise, genuine care, and passion for the business set Protea Diamonds apart. He guided me through the selection process without any pressure to make a quick purchase. Thanks to his knowledge and commitment, I left with a stunning ring that surpassed my expectations. I highly recommend Anthony and Protea Diamonds for a personalized and outstanding engagement ring shopping experience.
