I brought my Breitling chronograph to market Street Diamonds after a scuba diving adventure in Maui (300Ms or not, regardless to say I did not dive with it again) and the professionals did an incredible job of bringing it back to life, including modernizing and polishing. Dino and your Master craftsman, thank you so much! Alexander H. read more

A $500 non-refundable deposit to LOOK at a diamond should tell you everything you need about this place. I was on the hunt for a lab grown diamond but happened to see a natural diamond I really liked. I emailed to make an appointment to see this diamond in person, and they responded that natural diamonds require a non-refundable deposit of $500 to VIEW EACH diamond. Not to buy, not to place on hold, just to look at. I would understand if they wanted a refundable deposit to make sure I showed up for the appointment or a smaller fee of $50 for shipping/insurance but $500? I asked for clarification on why this amount was so high, and I was met with an avoidant non-answer (see photos of the email chain). I wanted a lab grown diamond, which for them, would not require deposit to view. But, this experience raises red flags that I don't want to do business with them, lab grown or natural. I felt it necessary to leave a review for the community to be aware. read more

Market Street Diamonds was recommended to me by another local jewelry shop (Shelter, in NE) for a ring repair that they could not do because they didn't make the ring. Trusting Shelter's recommendation, I went to Market Street Diamonds and was immediately impressed with their service, quality of their pieces, and attention to detail. The repair took a few weeks longer than the very fast turnaround they predicted -- one week -- which was still an appropriate timeline. When I received my ring I could not tell a difference between the existing diamonds and the one they added, and same for the broken prong. Would absolutely visit again for a purchase, a design, or a repair. Thanks, Market Street! read more

We got my engagement ring at market street diamonds and had a fantastic experience. We had a family diamond, which they reset for us in under a month. They also really helped me think through what kind of ring I wanted, were always kind and never put any pressure on us to do a certain thing, spend more money, etc. I would highly recommend! read more

I had a great experience with Eva buying my and my husband's wedding rings and crafting my engagement ring using the stones from my grandma's 3-stone ring. All of our rings are beautifully made, and Eva was so incredibly kind and responsive throughout the process. MSD was also able to provide an appraisal with specs of my grandma's 1950s diamond. In a testament to the quality of customer service, MSD even adjusted my engagement ring setting for me months later after I realized I needed something lower profile as a left-handed person, at no additional cost. Can't recommend enough! read more

My fiancé and I had such a wonderful experience at Market Street Diamonds! I wanted a unique ring and they helped us custom design it to bring my vision to life!

Unassuming on the outside, beautiful on the inside. Parking can be tricky. Clean facility: Offers a hand sanitizing station and all staff are in masks. Responsive and friendly online scheduling. Dino did a wonderful job working with my fiancé to craft my custom engagement ring, guess my proper size, and determine the best fit for my resize.

This review is long overdue, as I worked with MSD back in December of last year. I rarely write any reviews, but this type of purchase warrants an exception. It's going to be lengthy, TLDR at the bottom. When I was preparing to propose to my now fiancée, my family surprised me by showing me an old heirloom diamond that has been in the family for nearly a century. It is an antique cut stone that had a sizable chip around the girdle of the diamond. I scoured through reviews on just about every platform learning as much as I could about cutting/polishing diamonds and visited about a dozen jewelry stores in the DC area. I received a huge variety of prognoses for the stone. Most of the jewelers I spoke to said that I was looking at losing .3 to .6+ carats through cutting. Some folks said that the risk of the stone completely shattering was significant and I should consider looking at setting to hide the damage. Multiple folks even suggested that I have the whole stone recut into the modern round brilliant cut and shave down half of its weight and lose the beauty and uniqueness of the antique cut. Every single jeweler I spoke to up to that point outsourced their cutting to either NYC or California. Quoted timelines were 6-8 weeks and none of my interactions left me with confidence in the quality of work I would be receiving, Then I walked through the door of MSD. I was directed to Dino who looked at the stone and immediately identified the antique cut and sketched out the damage. Market Street Diamonds has an in-house cutter with extensive experience working on antique cut stones. Dino walked me through his process and what he wanted to do with stone. He explained that he wanted to redo the surface of the diamond above the girdle to shave off the chip while maintaining the diameter of the stone and increasing the sparkle and brilliance. He estimated a total of under 20 points (.2 carats) of loss from the cutting and had incredible confidence in his work and his team. Given his confidence, optimistic prognosis, and the quality of the rest of his work, we were excited to move forward with the process. My fiancée had always loved a minimalist solitaire ring and was in love with a design she had seen from another jeweler. Dino agreed to re-create the design. He offered a turnaround time of 5 weeks for the whole project. We were planning to head out of town around December 20th to visit family for Christmas which would cut into that time frame. Dino immediately reassured us that it would be no issue and shortened the timeline to four weeks. The four weeks included Thanksgiving and were in the midst of engagement season. The turnaround time was incredible and was half the time that we would have seen at any other jeweler in the region. We scheduled a follow-up for three weeks later to see the re-cut and polished stone, review the CAD design of the setting and receive a wax model. Three weeks of anticipation later, we walked back into the store. Pre-cut the stone weighed 2.06 carats. Dino was able to remove the chip losing a total of .04 carats. The end weight was 2.02 carats and was visually identical in terms of size. The brilliance and sparkle of the stone was absolutely incredible. We quickly moved forward with the setting and one week later we I walked out with the absolutely perfect ring. I showed my family and they were all stunned by the transformation and quality of the work. A few weeks later I proposed, and my fiancée absolutely loves the ring. It is her most prized possession, and she loves the thought of having over a hundred years of family history on her finger with a family diamond with the same antique cut that my great grandmother wore so many years ago. Market Street Diamonds was not the cheapest option. I paid a premium to have the stone cut in DC by someone with experience in antique cut diamonds and to work with a boutique shop that would provide me personalized service and whose work would be a cut above the rest. I was not disappointed. Market Street Diamonds did what other jewelers in the area said was not possible, and delivered on promises that other jewelers wouldn't even dream of making. We are so excited to be getting married and, despite now living on the other side of the country, will be returning to Market Street Diamonds to design our wedding bands. I cannot recommend Market Street Diamonds enough, they did an amazing job. TLDR: Walked in with a chipped 2.06C antique cut stone that everywhere else said would lose .3 to .6+ carats if repaired. Dino got the job done without shipping stone out and losing only .04 Carats, End Weight 2.02C. 4 Week turnaround for cutting and custom setting during busiest engagement season of the year and over Thanksgiving holiday. Incredible Quality. Will return for Wedding bands despite living 2000+ miles away now. read more

I am not the type to post any reviews, BUT I always read them before I visit a new place. The best reviews are those that provide helpful information, not those posted out of revenge. What I love about MSD: 1) unlike chains, MSD only carries metal and stones that rank from "middle" to "best"; 2) it is the "go-to" for custom diamond jewelry. Don't bring your "odds and ends" - the true beauty of MSD is for the artwork they create from the stones that they sell (check IG); 3) The customer service that I received from Dino, Rayna and Eva is unrivaled. They weren't "snooty" and don't "pressure" you. MSD made me feel like family- unparalleled kindness, genuineness, & trustworthiness. I was recommended by my receptionist (MSD did her custom engagement ring designed by Dino). Previously, I purchased most of my jewelry from Tiffany & Co. I visited MSD's website (very classy) to ensure their pricing was within my budget. I will pay the quoted price as long as it is the best quality for what I can afford. I visited MSD in December of 2021 - my appointment was at the end of the day near closing time. From the time I entered, I sensed "Nothing but class" - the décor (wall paint, artwork, showcases, stools, etc.), indicated I would be purchasing THE best quality products. In the showroom was Dino, Rayna, Eva, and 2 security guards, all of whom were masked. In the showcase, I saw the "Luna" jewelry (designed by Eva) which was gorgeous and unique. I ordered custom diamond "huggies" and gave her the specs (e.g. size, metal, diamonds). My huggies turned out to be a masterpiece and cannot be found anywhere, including Tiffany & Co. The diamonds shine brilliantly - even my mother commented on how shiny they are! I also got diamond studs. With Dino being the owner, I asked him to explain the differences between MSD's diamonds and those at Tiffany & Co., which he did in great detail. Dino is MSD's creative genius - if you want to buy a special edition Rolex (or other luxury watch), special anniversary custom jewelry that will make others envious, or create an engagement ring that will leave the love of your life speechless, he is the person to see, but be prepared to drop tens of thousands of dollars (totally worth it!). I asked Rayna about single solitaires set in platinum, at least 3 carats (and all the right "Cs"). Rayna is also a designer who spent at least 30 minutes to 1 hour with me. She was so patient and took the time to show me each and every style (different shapes, sizes, styles), and let me try them all. She suggested the perfect ring for me: very classy & elegant style, yet understated. She explained why certain styles would or wouldn't suit me. I appreciated her candor, because as an attorney, I want what I want, but I felt that Rayna truly cared about me - it wasn't about making money. In fact, the ring that I wanted cost $10k more than the one Rayna suggested. I then asked Rayna about a matching band. She explained that the style that I picked was outdated and suggested a more modern style that would complement my solitaire. Once I tried them on together, they were SOLD for $30k! This place is definitely legitimate and safe- their customers are US government, congressmembers, judges, attorneys, and other highly respected professionals. MSD takes all the precautions for COVID: clean displays, bleach wipes, cans of Lysol spray and hand sanitizer. Don't negotiate with MSD- they are a family-owned business and have overhead costs. Their craft is how they put food on their table. Even if you feel that you are spending a lot, trust me, that you are STILL GETTING MORE than what you paid for; even if you don't ask for a discount, you are definitely getting one. If you cannot afford them, go elsewhere. It's classless to wear expensive jewelry that you got by bargaining just to portray that you are rich, when in fact, you are simply living beyond your means. MSD is truly a "touch of class" and isn't for those who are: 1) shopping around (remember, you aren't buying a used car or fruit at a vegetable stand in India; You are buying quality diamonds so please have some class; 2) going to steal their creative ideas by having them do all the hard work and have the rings made elsewhere for cheaper; 3) wanting "the world for free." In this case, just go to a chain that can sell you a prefab ring and return policy. At MSD, you will 1) be treated in a respectful manner; 2) work with an experienced and creative designer who can guarantee that you will receive a unique and flawless product (they have several steps from CAD drawings to molds to prevent any inaccuracies); 3) receive a product that will last a lifetime (they provide complimentary lifetime service of the jewelry and free sizing of rings within 90 days), and; 4) have an amazing experience throughout. I will be a repeat customer of MSD. Next on my list is a Cartier watch which Dino is going to order for me. Tiffany & Co just lost me to MSD! read more

Sized my Harry Winston engagement ring in a way that messed up the band (it is clearly not flush to the eye or touch) AND ruined a 4th generation Swiss pocket watch after reassuring me multiple times they could monogram the same way by hand. When I picked up the watch it was a different size and font. So they said they could fix it and instead of welding it they used a laser WITHOUT EVEN OPENING THE WATCH which damaged parts inside of the watch with the laser. So now, this 100 year old watch that they assured me they would take care of has been damaged where they poorly monogrammed and imperfectly lasered over AND damaged the actual mechanics of the watch by lasering through the back without even opening it. What concerns me most is the repeated reassurance that they could do everything I asked as asked and then failure to do so but then(!) almost criminal treatment of a treasured heirloom without complete disregard. Just say you can't do it and let me maintain the integrity of my jewelry. I've finally gotten to another jeweler in NYC who is determining the amount of damage I have to pay to fix from Market Street Diamond's mistakes. 2 strikes and I'm done with them forever. Don't believe them if they say they can do it, they clearly don't mind overpromising and under delivering. read more

I had a wonderful experience working with Eva at Market Street Diamonds in August 2023 ahead of my proposal to my girlfriend at the time. When I first came in, I was at a complete loss at how to go about the process. My grandmother had given me her own engagement ring's diamond to clean and reset into a new piece. Eva was extremely patient and helpful in working with me to go over the different options at hand, including the setting, band type, and accessory diamonds. Despite the short timeline I had, Eva was able to help me put together a design that my fiancé ended up LOVING! The quality of the final product is just as impeccable as the customer service. read more

The team could not have been more efficient and professional. Everything related to consigning my Cartier pieces was carefully explained. A thorough appraisal was completed as I sat comfortably and watched. Highly recommend MSD. read more

I have nothing but overwhelmingly positive things to say about Dino and the Market Street Diamonds team. They are warm, friendly, professional, Covid-19 cautious/compliant and truly deliver an amazing customer experience. My fiancé and I had a custom ring designed using stones from both of our families, and it turned out more amazing than I could have hoped. We told Dino which pieces we want to integrate, provided some inspiration images for pieces we liked and then I said "I really love peonies and English garden roses." AND THIS IS WHAT HE CAME UP WITH. I could yell positive things about this design for years. MSD was fully transparent about price and didn't charge a design fee. We ended up with a piece that cost less than a standard "box" store with 1000x more meaning. Highly recommend. 15/10. Only thing I will say is that beautiful art takes time. This process took place over several months. I'm sure they would be willing to work with a more condensed timeline, but why rush perfection? read more

Dino did such a beautiful job on my engagement ring! The ring is even more beautiful than what I imagined! He is so incredibly knowledgable and experienced. He even provided a 3D printed version of the ring and setting so I could see the ring but still have the surprise factor. I can't wait to go back to Dino for the wedding band. read more

Rayna was great throughout the whole engagement and marriage process. She was patient, nice, and friendly. We couldn't have been happier. (I also remember when we were picking out engagement rings that she did the opposite of upsell me which speaks to her character.) read more

I was stressed out and confused in my search for an engagement ring for my girlfriend (now fiancée!) before I visited Market Street Diamonds. I wanted the ring to be perfect, but I knew next to nothing about engagement rings, and I felt very outside of my comfort zone in the process of shopping for it. I am *extremely* grateful that the staff at Market Street Diamonds took the time on a busy Saturday to sit me down and educate me on shapes, sizes, settings, colors, and a number of other factors that I didn't even know I should be asking about. They even recommended a few other reputable jewelry shops in the area that I might want to visit before making a final decision--and I did. But I ended up coming back. Everything about the experience was classy and professional from start to finish--which is exactly the type of positive energy I want to be associated with to an object that will be part of our lives forever. I enthusiastically recommend that anyone shopping for engagement rings around D.C. give Market Street Diamonds a visit. They didn't just sell me a ring--they taught me how to shop for one. I knew my girlfriend would say yes to me, but I was so happy when she said yes to the ring too! She loves it. 10/10 read more

My fiancé and I had such a great experience buying an engagement ring! Rayna and the entire team were dedicated to helping us find the perfect ring while staying within budget, and we felt incredibly welcomed and comfortable each time we visited. Thank you! read more

Best customer service I've ever experienced in my life. Would recommend for all jewelry needs!!

When my fiancé asked what I wanted for an engagement ring, I spent hours researching ring specs, designs, and jewelers. After I handed him a 3-page document detailing everything I wanted, he went straight to Dino. I cannot express how much I love my ring. Dino took my notes and my fiancé's budget and used his own eye to design a beautiful custom ring. It's comfortable and gorgeous and I never want to take it off. Market Street Diamonds overnighted the ring to the rural location where my fiancé planned to propose (he didn't want to risk flying with it himself) and, when we realized the ring was too big, had it resized and back on my ring finger in under 24 hours. Dino does a great job at working with people's budgets and incorporating their tastes to create beautiful, high quality pieces that will last forever. I can't recommend them enough! read more

Market Street Diamonds - 3-stone platinum ring designed by Dino - Jewelry Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I had a very specific, nontraditional design in mind for my engagement ring, that I knew would have to be custom made. To ensure I got a ring I loved, my fiancé and I opted to go through the engagement ring shopping process together. Neither one of us had any experience with Jewelers, engagement rings, diamonds, or custom jewelry, but lucky for us, a friend of ours suggested we go see Dino at MSD. BEST RECOMMENDATION EVER! The experience was so overwhelmingly positive and easy. During our first appointment with Dino, I explained the design I wanted, which was based on a custom ring my mom had designed by a jeweler years ago with a few minor tweaks. Dino took his time to listen to what I wanted, look at my mom's ring, ask us a few questions, and gave us some valuable insight on a few things. He did all of this without pressure or judgment. He also asked my fiancé about his budget, because he wanted to make sure the ring he designed stayed in budget, which it did. Two weeks later we went in to see the wax mold, 3D CAD image, and the diamond..... we ended up pulling the trigger right there on the spot. I'm not one to rush into large purchases without some due diligence - so when we first started the ring shopping process, we had planned on shopping around before making a decision but Dino was our first stop and after seeing the CAD image of the ring he designed for us (exceeded all my expectations - it was love at first sight - which, for me, is rare - just ask my fiancé ). Just like that, I had no interest in shopping around. Over the course of the next three weeks, practicing patience was very difficult for me, I had gotten a glimpse of my engagement ring, and I was SO READY to have it on my finger. Before I knew it, the wait was over, and it was so worth the wait. There are no words to express just how amazing our experience was. From start to finish, Dino and his team are exceptional. There is no question, they know what they are doing, they do it well, and they clearly care about their work and their customers. Thank you, Dino and MSD! read more

I went to MSD to get a jeweler's expert opinion after I got a ring resized elsewhere. Rayna was incredibly nice and knowledgeable, examining my ring, measuring, explaining the resizing process, and even cleaning the ring after. There was no pressure to have my ring repaired there, or to look at additional rings. I also liked that you could just walk in without an appointment, and the merchandise was on display right there, no hidden backrooms or anything. I would definitely become a paying customer here! read more

Dino and his team at MSD are hands down the best jewelers in the DMV. Quality, selection and customer service are all first rate, as is the expertise of an outstanding gemologist. Plus they have fabrication and cutting capability onsite, which is exceptionally rare. read more

TL;DR: Don't go to Zales or Kay. You can get an original piece of art for a reasonable price while being treated like the most important customer when you come to Market Street. Here's why: From start to finish, our experience was phenomenal. Now that I'm engaged and look at the ring everyday as I wear it, I am so thrilled! It's even more beautiful than I thought it could be. We came to Market Street on a personal recommendation. I expected attentive, professional service but these aren't strong enough adjectives. Shauna spent hours with me trying on and re-trying on rings as I tried to narrow down what I did and did not like about each. She took notes on my feedback and used them to suggest a design that embodies my style and taste better than I could have described on my own. She was mindful to my boyfriend's taste, and also suggested a second design that embodied his ideas, resulting in a second option to boggle my already overwhelmed mind. After all the consultation, Dino put together 2 CAD computer drawings and when I still couldn't decide, he made 2 wax renderings of the bands so I could hold each and try them on for comparison. In the end, they were both beautiful designs. My boyfriend chose which he wanted so I was still surprised by the ring when he popped the question. One important thing to note- we came with our own diamond and a gold necklace setting that the diamond was on. They were wonderfully attentive with my diamond and bought the gold from us to put towards the ring. While I don't know exact cost, my ring was a fraction of what you'd expect for that level of individualized service. read more

I have now had two rings made by Dino Lonzano at Market Street Diamonds. My engagement ring-- made elsewhere--suffered a chipped center diamond. Dino and his team came up with a plan to have the diamond recut and reset. The center stone lost very little carat weight, and Dino designed a beautiful three stone setting that was a great improvement over my earlier ring. I was worried my ring was ruined after I chipped the stone, but it was better than new after Dino's work. I have since taken a loose sapphire ring, which he repaired quickly and made it like new. I am updating my review because I just picked up a new sapphire and diamond three stone ring today. I had a plan and budget in mind for a long-planned ring, and took the idea to Dino. He designed a ring more beautiful than I had originally conceptualized and worked with my budget. Aside from a great product, the store is in a great location, and the staff go above and beyond. I highly recommend Dino for any jewelry purchase or redesign. read more

I needed my band re-sized (I am trying to figure out why he got the wrong size - duh) and a bangle fixed. Of course I hopped on yelp as I needed recommendations on someone that could re-size and eternity band and not damage my ring. The responsiveness of this company was amazing. Based on my email communication, I decided to visit to check them out PRIOR to leaving my jewels. Upon walking up, I was thinking.. oh okay, they are the REAL deal. I can't recall the gentleman's name that helped me, but he was pleasant and informative. He took both items and informed me that I would receive a call. My estimate was received the next day and my jewels were ready that week. They did an amazing job, have a beautiful showroom and have security if you are thinking of trying them :) read more

5 stars. A million stars. I have nothing but praise for Dino. I am so impressed by him that I felt compelled to write a review, even though he already has five stars and so many reviews. It sounded too good to be true when I checked him out on Yelp, but he's the real deal. tl;dr: Any chain stores are NOT worth it. You will forever cherish your experience here, and will get a better price, value, and memorable story. In the fall of 2017, my fiance and I checked out probably 10 other jewelry stores because we really like to do our research. It was apparent that we were going to get ripped off anywhere else we went. They would get you with a fairly cheap setting, but once you started talking diamonds - it was ridiculous. For example, Helzberg diamonds offered us settings ranging from $100-$2000 in the style I liked - but offered us a diamond that was $9000 but under 1 carat, of terrible quality, and with visible imperfections. Also, I was looking for a pear- or marquise-shaped engagement ring, and any store we went to only had a small handful to browse. Dino told us that he loved that shape and practically had a whole case to show us. Dino truly cares about your engagement ring experience. He started off by saying that he is a little old-fashioned and will talk design with the bride-to-be but only discuss price with the man - which didn't bother me since the proposal was going to be a surprise anyway but we share finances. Dino knows everything about design, setting types, different metals. He's the only gem cutter in the region - so it's one of the few places around where the jeweler ethically sources your diamond, cuts it, creates the setting, and sets it. I felt confident that if something went wrong, he would be able to fix it. We discussed creating a design from scratch, but then I fell in love with one of the settings in the case. It had a pear-shaped stone in it but he assured us he would find a marquise that fit the setting, our quality standards, and our budget. He went above and beyond to accommodate our budget. I will forever be grateful for his amazing creation that is on my finger every day! THANK YOU! read more

Dino is the man! I am obsessed with my engagement ring, and my husband had nothing but great things to say about working with Dino. I was so happy with it that I went back to get an old ring made into a necklace. Dino knew exactly what I was going for and the necklace turned out perfect! I wear it every day. Can't say enough good things about Market Street Diamonds. read more

It's always been important to me to have ethically source diamonds in whatever engagement/wedding ring I would someday get. My fiance and I had planned to check out Market Street first and make our way down to Arlington, but I ended up falling in love as soon as I came in. Obviously, most jewelry stores care about their products and want the customer to get something they will enjoy; however, despite the fact that they must see dozens of starry-eyed couples each day, they really made us feel like we were special. Like, they were truly happy for us to learn we were getting married. Right off the bat, we were paired up with lovely Eva. I'm just going to say right now that she is a saint. I am one of the most indecisive people I've ever known, and I must have sat their for ages just trying on the two "finalists" and fretting because they were both so beautiful. Eva just stood there with a patient smile on her face and didn't make me feel at all rushed, even though I'm sure she had better things to do with her day. In addition to this, when she found out that my fiance and I don't have the world's highest budget, she really tried hard to find something that would fit within our range but wouldn't require a microscope to see. I never once felt like she was trying to "sell" us anything. When we asked about moissanite--a much cheaper (but super quality!) option--she didn't try to convince us to switch back to a diamond or stretch our funds. Instead, she just brought out a gorgeous stone that we eventually ended up going with. She even repeated this process almost a year later when we went to get my band! Honestly, I couldn't be happier with the finished product. I've been wearing my engagement ring for 9 months, and I still find myself occasionally staring at my hand and admiring it! I would sing this place's praises to the end of the earth, and I cannot wait to tie the knot and see the complete set. read more

Highly recommend going to MSD and asking for Rayna! She was super welcoming and helpful while I was looking for an engagement ring. What stood out was that when I walked into the door Rayna introduced herself and then asked me questions about myself and my girlfriend. She really spent the time getting to know my girlfriend and I and never brought up money or budget. She got to know me and I got to know her and this was so nice. She asked me what kind of design I had in mind and always asked me for my opinion and thoughts before sharing hers. She really wanted to create a ring that my girlfriend like and wanted and that I also liked. She even pointed me to do research during our first encounter/meeting to really put in the time to look at the perfect ring that I wanted. She never rushed me and even told me to go look at other jewelers which was so surprising. So I did the research and even went to other jewelers. However I had such a different experience with the other jewelers. They never really asked about me and my girlfriend, and more so on what kind of ring I wanted and my budget. It really felt homey with MSD. I went back to MSD after researching and knew they were the perfect place to do the engagement ring for me. Through the next 3-4 meetings: I showed them the design I wanted, I picked out the center diamond I liked, they created CAD design and 3D print of the ring (so cool), and then saw the finished product! The ring was stunning and my fiance absolutely loves the ring. It was so easy and nice to work with MSD and Rayna and HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM! Thank you so much for everything Rayna and the MSD team! read more

If you're looking for a top-of-the-line, reasonably priced custom jeweler, Market Street Diamonds is it. Owner and lead designer, Dino Lonzano, is an artistic maven-- capable of bringing my very specific engagement ring design preferences to life. His whole team was phenomenal from day one-- even before I committed to using them as my jeweler. His staff produced sketch renderings right in-store according to my ring preferences. We discussed the "4 C's" of diamonds, band color/shape/sizing, and other stylistic elements. Dino was able to source a stone within my carat, cut, color, and clarity specifications, and below my targeted price. The final product was stunning and my fiancé was very happy. As a customer, Market Street Diamonds provides ring resizing and other basic adjustments at no additional cost.

Great experience! I came here to get my wedding ring sized, which they would have done same day but it was a little more complicated than that. I had the wedding ring custom made in Australia to fit my scallop-edge vintage engagement ring, but it came as a size 7.75 when I'm a 6. So they couldn't resize the ring so much without altering the way it fit around the engagement ring. But, they figured out a solution and still had the ring ready within a few days. I was so relieved! They were great to work with and I was so impressed with the turnaround. read more

Market Street Diamonds - Complicated resizing job...but they did it and it fits perfectly! - Jewelry Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Amazing jewelry store! They are experts and they are accessible! Go here rather than going to a chain for your jewelry--you won't regret it.

James did a great job with our custom-made engagement ring, and if this review was only about him & the final product, it would be 5 stars and I would be singing his praises until the end of time. If you are going to do business with this shop, you should absolutely work with him. I found Dino's customer service could use some polish: deadlines were missed, communication was lacking, and apologies were not made. I believe I was not treated as a valued customer, and that was very disappointing. Not sure if this should be a 3 or 4, so out of disappointment, leaving it as a 3. read more

I bought our wedding bands here and had exceptional customer service! They are very helpful and knowledgable. I did not feel pressured into buying their product which made me want to buy from them even more. They have a large variety that is beautiful and will suit anyones taste. From the moment we walked in they treated us phenomenally. We will now be life-long customers. We highly highly recommend! read more

Visited Market Street to have a ring sized. Chose them because of the great reviews. We were surprised that the work could be done on the same day. Wonderful customer service! As promised work was completed the same day! read more
