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.

Went to Anthony to resize my wedding ring. He was very accommodating and made the whole process super easy. Definitely will go back for any future needs!

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.

I first came to Protea Diamonds in 2015. I had lost a sapphire and diamond band and wanted to replace it. I visited a highly-recommended store in Fairfax and priced a replacement, then made an appointment with Anthony. The quality of the ring was better and the price was lower at Protea. Then, when I decided to buy a diamond band, naturally the only place I went was Protea. I regularly receive compliments on how pretty my rings are. I also recommended the store to a friend’s son, who went to see Anthony and bought an engagement ring for his girlfriend.

Anthony is a great to work with! I brought in an heirloom item for work. He expertly cleaned my mother's diamond engagement ring and increased the band size. I highly recommend him.

First class experience - I was not pressured one way or the other, and was given great consultation and personal customer service to help me end up with exactly what I wanted. They were able to move fast on a very tight timeline and helped resize the ring shortly thereafter exceedingly fast as well. This was a great experience for a once in a lifetime diamond buying process!

Anthony was very helpful in securing our engagement and wedding bands. He’s an honest jeweler which is very hard to find. Although he’s running his business he’s really in it for what you want and has your best interest at heart. His prices are also very reasonable and quality of work meets the highest standard.

Anthony made the entire engagement ring buying process extremely easy and walked me through every step in detail. I knew nothing about diamonds/jewelry and was intimidated on how to even begin and he put me at ease. Would recommend to anyone!

I had a very pleasant experience with Anthony at Protea Diamonds for my engagement ring. Unfortunately, I came in with a broken ring and Anthony was very helpful in planning out next steps of how to fix the ring/which styles were available/which options would work. I love how the new and improved ring turned out and would definitely return to work with Anthony on other pieces in the future.

Professional, knowledgeable, expert - Anthony was a gem to work with! While my rings were purchased elsewhere, time and a broken knuckle made them unwearable. Beautifully polished, repaired, and resized, my rings are better than new! I will certainly use Protea again for any and all of my jewelry needs!

Anthony transformed my late mother's engagement ring into a gorgeous necklace for me. I'm thrilled with the results.
