    In love with my rings
    Z B.

    My husband got my engagement ring at this location in 2015. This month, for my birthday, he agreed to have it upgraded and I was happy to go back to Charleston Alexander. Karen was not only knowledgeable about the jewelry, but she was very patient, she answered all my questions, allowed me to try all the rings I wanted, along with the ones she thought I would like and with the help of the owner John, I picked a beautiful ring that John designed and the wedding band to match. John agreed to put a rush order so I could have the ring ready in a couple of days. Karen and John exceeded my expectations, they were AMAZING and the quality of the jewelry is incredible... I am definitely going back.

    USAA does not insure loose stones. Getting a GIA certificate and appraisal from another jeweler will cost a few hundred.

    I am extremely pleased with the ring that I bought from Charleston Alexander. Karen was so very patient, friendly, and supportive throughout the entire process. I initially thought it would be fun to customize a ring from scratch, but honestly that process took longer than I expected and the autocad graphic left me nervous about saying "yes--I want you to make that ring." So, I spoke with Karen and we revisited the styles I wanted. Our next meeting was so productive. She went through several setting options and we ended up adding some embellishments to a lovely ring from the Sylvie collection. I am so proud of how everything turned out. When I look at my fiancée's hand I am so grateful. The ring turned out even better than I could have imagined. She loved it.

    Wow...is all I can say. I can't say enough about the service I received from Karen and John at a Charleston Alexander. Karen is so friendly and is incredible. I walked in with no idea what style, what size, or what type of diamond/ring I wanted. My fiancé gave me no hints or help prior to me going shopping. Thankfully Karen is able to match a ring with a persons style so well. She helped me pick out an individual center stone and match it perfectly with engagement setting and wedding band. It's nice to see someone actually care about matching a ring with a persons personality, as opposed to people just wanting to make a sale. The ring turned out absolutely stunning! Words can't describe how beautiful it is. My fiancé is absolutely obsessed with it and refuses to take it off! Lol She wanted to get it resized, but didn't want to drop it off for a week and have to come back so they did it right there within a 2-3 hrs for her. I highly recommend going to Charleston Alexander if you're ring or diamond shopping. I live pretty far away, but if I'm ever looking to upgrade or buy more diamonds I will 100% be making the trip to see Karen and John. They gave me such a good price and incredible customer service A++

    The wedding band advised to us was tasteful and didn't take away from the engagement ring

    Came back to Charleston Alexander for our wedding bands. While Mr. Sabet couldn't see me this time around, I was taken care of by his associate with the same level of care and honesty when I came to purchase my engagement ring. I can't be happier with the choices we made and for the advice on which bands would match best. It wasn't about what was the most expensive, but about what suited our style. I can't be happier with the overall experience at Charleston Alexander. They have a lifelong customer in me!

    If you want to lose your diamond due to poor craftsmanship then choose Charleston Alexander. Long story short my wife was shaking out bed sheets from the laundry when prong failed and the diamond dislodged. Luckily for us this was in the bedroom so we were able to recover the diamond. I contacted Charleston Alexander and they asked me to send it in for repair. I took it to another jeweler for a second opinion and was informed the prongs were too small to fit the diamond! They replaced the head with the proper setting and the diamond is much more secure. I have called the company and been referred to DWAYNE who will not return my calls after multiple attempts. Poor customer service. It seems as if Charleston Alexander cut corners to save a buck. Don't be the next victim. Feel free to see attached picture as a reference.

    Beware, DO NOT USE this place if you want your watch unharmed. Do not reward incompetence, save…read moreyour watch, go somewhere else. I visited M & J Jewelers, as it has excellent reviews and is right in Rosslyn Metro. I brought 2 watches with me, both just needed their batteries replaced. My Tissot Touch, an irreplaceable gift from my dad, and a Wittnauer, titanium watch with 20-year long-life battery. I called ahead and let the technician know what kind of watches I am bringing, "no problem sir" I heard. What followed is a total nightmare that resulted in a destruction of my Tissot closely followed by vitriol barrage from the owner, who try to hide his complete and utter incompetence by his aggressive verbal assault while laughing out my concerns and patronizing me along the way. He spent 15 minutes trying to open my Tissot with increasingly more forceful techniques and tools. This resulted in multiple scratches so deep that I can't put the watch on without really irritating my skin. I tried to stop him, but only heard that he knows what he is doing and to let him work. I am attaching a picture, it may be difficult to see the scratches, but trust me, they are deep. After I told him to just give me the watch back, he popped the back of my Wittnauer and announced to me "there is no battery here." This is the first time this watch with its long life 20-year battery has ever been opened, but he could not even find it inside. Yes this battery does look different form your ordinary watch battery, but instead of acknowledging that he's never seen one before, he laughed his cackling, laud and toothless laughter at me for claiming that there is a battery there to be replaced. Unreal! I felt insulted and my watch (made precious by virtue of a special gift) damaged, I was literally pushed out the door. I would like to think that we are an open and inclusive society, and I practice it daily in my business and consumer choices. I try to judge people on their merit and not accents and appearance. This experience was a sobering one however, where someone from a culture of non-existent customer service and obvious patriarchal disdain for women, treated me in a way that is incompatible with the most basic rules of civil behavior and polite human interaction. I believe that such businesses should not be supported and we should demand better. Here is my attempt at doing just that.

    Tiny little place in that horrible Rosslyn metro "mall" that most people don't know even exists…read more It's on the second floor in a somewhat junky tiny store. They don't really sell anything by repairs seem to be the thing. I was disappointed in the lack of good watch/jewelry repair spots in the area, especially reasonably priced ones. This place is where to go, and the friendly old man that is the only employee is very nice. He fixes watches and many things just while you wait, and charges a super small amount. For a more complicated necklace fix it was ready the next day. If you lose a piece of pin of a watch for example he has those as well.
