A little late of a review, but better late than never! My fiancé and I had the best experience designing my engagement ring here. Amazing attention to detail, and happy to work closely with us to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. It was really great to see a 3D model to know exactly what we were looking at throughout the process. Very transparent about pricing and upfront about what types of things are or are not feasible that we were looking for in a ring. Highly, highly recommend for engagement and wedding rings! read more

We had an incredible experience working with Kavish after being recommended Pave Jewelers by a close friend. We knew absolutely nothing about engagement rings when we started looking, but Kavish walked us through the whole experience - from educating us on different metals and ring styles to finding the perfect stone to customizing and designing my dream ring. In addition to being extremely knowledgable, Kavish genuinely cares about each of his clients. We came back to design my wedding band as well and couldn't be happier! read more

Pavé is awesome and the service is very all-encompassing and helpful. Kavish is the best and very insightful, gives really good tips and genuinely wants to ensure the best possible outcome for each customer. read more

Over the course of last year, my husband has been working with Kavish on designing my wedding ring upgrade. We met with Kavish in February 2022 to discuss the design I had in mind for my pear-shaped ring. He was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process and very diligent and communicative with my husband. I felt very reassured that Pave would execute my vision perfectly and Kavish definitely delivered! I would highly recommend Pave for any and all your jewelry needs, especially when it comes to customized wedding/engagement rings. read more

This review is many years over due. Vishal created a ring from my own design; I wear it nearly every day. I'm only realizing I never reviewed Pave because I came to Yelp to find their phone number as I want another piece. This is a small business so adjust your expectations. I saw a 1 star review complaining the shop was busy and the team inattentive. I don't think that's fair because of the nature of this small shop. You are meeting with an artist and getting personalized attention. Personalized here means you're meeting the people pulling your creation together, and it doesn't necessarily mean undivided attention. If you're looking for that, go to a big box store that has sales people. Having done both: I highly recommend you start here. read more

My boyfriend and I went for an hour long appointment to look at rings. The service was absolutely fantastic! The jeweler, Vishal, was extremely transparent, knowledgeable and personable. When we arrived, he already had many settings ready for us to look at, as well as diamonds (we left a note on our appointment details about what we we're interested in beforehand). He is extremely passionate about making his pieces unique and intimate for his clients, even providing free customizations. He was also extremely detail oriented and was extremely careful listening to what we liked. He said that he strives to have the ring not only be exactly what we want, but also have it open doors for our future goals financially speaking which I thought was very important. All in all, for just an hour long appointment, he exceeded our expectations. Though our ring will only be starting the creation process, he showed us his other pieces of work and wow, stunning! I'm glad both my boyfriend and I were able to say the things that we liked while he was able to take notes for later conversations. It is a great sign that the rest of the process is now out of my hands! Thank you so much! read more

I have been a customer at Pave for the past 5 years and have purchased multiple rings. The customer service here is nothing but exceptional. They offer white glove treatment and went above and beyond to create customized products that my wife and I love. We never felt rushed, they take the time to truly understand needs, and blew our expectations in every interaction! read more

The best! You get the professionalism and reach yet the personalized intimate approach. Best of both worlds. Vishal and his team treat each customer with such care and precision, you are guaranteed to end up with the exact design you dreamed of. read more

Staff was inattentive and distracted. I was asked the same question multiple times. The person helping me during my established appointment time left to help other customers. He also did not follow up with information and photos as promised. They did not have rings to view, only models for designing rings. read more

This review is a bit delayed, but I was just walking past Pave Jewelers the other day and wanted to take the time to post a 5-star review for them given my fantastic experience here. I could give them 100 stars if I would. My husband and I bought our engagement ring here in 2018. We easily felt comfortable with Vishal, who was patient, and explained EVERYTHING clearly including ring design, pricing, timeline, etc. They were knowledgeable about everything jewelry-related, and honest about what they thought we should or should not get from their store. It was evident that both of them absolutely love what they do, and are in this business to help others find and create personalized jewelry to celebrate life's big occasions. So refreshing in the jewelry business! I don't get to wear my ring as often as I would like due to my profession, but whenever I do, I look at it ALL THE TIME and cannot believe such a beautiful thing is mine and it is all thanks to Pave Jewelers. As an aside, I ran into Kavish while on a walk a few months ago, and he remembered both me and my (now) husband. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Pave Jewelers and think that every small business could learn from the amazing customer service they provide. I cannot recommend Pave Jewelers enough. read more

Amazing service and excellent quality! We visited to try on various rings and never felt rushed, got to try on various designs and sizes. They took notes during our session so when my now husband went back it was easy to finalize. My ring is absolutely gorgeous and I've had no issues or damages with it in the time I've had it. Would absolutely recommend for anyone looking to buy an engagement ring. read more

Although I have not purchased from Pavé, my boyfriend and I had a great experience there! We were unfortunately late for our appointment and Vishal still allowed us to come and did not rush through anything. For a Saturday afternoon you would think he would want to get out as soon as the store closed, but he throughly walked us through every step of purchasing an engagement ring. I left Pavé with far more insight and a good feeling after an awful experience at two Mervis locations in the area. My boyfriend is surprising me with a ring, so I am unsure if it will be from here or elsewhere, but I know I would highly recommend Pavé! read more

My husband and I both bought rings here -- he bought my engagement ring, and I bought my wedding band. We both have wonderful things to say and feel that Vishal and Kavish easily deserve 5 stars. _________ My husband's review: Pave created both my wife's engagement ring and her wedding band. Vishal was easy to work with, helpful, and professional from the initial consultation all the way to the delivery of the finished ring. We are thrilled with the finished product. When it comes to creating and buying a product, it doesn't get much more personal than a wedding ring, so it's important to me to have a personal touch added to the process. This is what we got from Vishal. We couldn't be happier with the rings that we have. I've recommended Pave to friends and recommend Pave to interested ring shoppers without reservation. __________ My review: I was in love with my engagement ring from the moment I saw it. It was a perfectly done ring that made our engagement so magical. Vishal did an amazing job of working with my husband's late grandmother's diamond and making it look so natural in the new setting. The pave setting looks perfect as well. We had the ring resized, and while there were a few very minor issues, they were always resolved quickly and efficiently. I was so thrilled with every aspect of working with Vishal and Kavish that it was a very easy decision to come back to Pave Jewelers for my wedding band. Designing my wedding band was also an easy and happy process, and the time they took to make sure it matched my engagement ring meant a lot to me. The communication was above and beyond, and the rings are spectacular. I had my rings cleaned with Pave before our wedding, which was really nice. They looked perfect on our wedding day and the photos show it. I also got my rings soldered together with Pave Jewelers. It took me a few weeks to be able to give up my rings while they were being worked on, but even the soldering came out incredible. It's subtle and done so well that I wouldn't have been able to tell if I didn't know it was there. I could probably go on forever about how kind, helpful, communicative, transparent, flexible, and wonderful Kavish and Vishal were throughout the entire process, but I'll go ahead and stop here. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you again, Vishal and Kavish. read more

I went to Pave to look for an engagement ring based on a recommendation from various friends and he did not disappoint. I spent many hours with him, going over all the details of what I was looking for, what i liked/did not like, etc. Although I didn't end up buying the ring from him (I live in NC so logistics were difficult), I would strongly recommend going to him as he was extremely meticulous, professional, and made me feel very at ease during the process. Vishal - just wanted to say thank you again and I really appreciated the time you spent helping me. read more

I just realized I somehow never got around to reviewing this amazing business that made my wife's gorgeous engagement ring as well as our wedding bands back in 2016. Vishal was a pleasure to work with and did an incredible job collaborating with me to design the beautiful engagement ring and made sure it was ready in time for me to propose. Highly recommend Pavé to anyone looking for a great local experience shopping for engagement rings, wedding rings, or other jewelry in the DC area. read more

Vishal went above and beyond to help me pick the perfect engagement ring for my girlfriend (now fiance!). I stumbled across Pave through a few online searches as one the top rated jewelers in the area and I'm so glad I did! I did as much research as possible before the first visit which Vishal confirmed was accurate. He then dropped years of diamond knowledge on me which again confirmed I was in the right place. From the very first meeting (there were a lot of meetings) to actually purchasing the ring, Vishal was extremely patient, professional and knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to recommend Vishal and Pave Jewelers to anyone looking for an engagement ring or any type of jewelry for that special person in your life. read more

I was looking for the BEST custom jeweler in the DC metro area and have found that with Vishal at Pave! I inherited a family ring and was nervous about altering it. During a consultation with Vishal, he explained the many options, the process, and allowed me to try on designs similar to my tastes from his stunning showroom. He was extremely patient and helpful. Wanting to keep everything else about the proposal (including the ring design) a surprise, I entrusted my preferences to Vishal and gave my now-fiance his contact information. My fiance said he spent almost two hours with Vishal to discuss and design the perfect ring. It was a masterpiece! We are SO happy! read more

I found my jeweler!! I was referred to Vishal when my setting needed to be replaced and I couldn't be happier! He custom set each diamond in a Pave setting around my center diamond... I am SOO in love with my ring! I highly recommend him and I'll definitely be going back for the holidays ;)! read more

Pave Jewelers - I needed my setting replaced and Vishal custom set each diamond in a Pave setting around my center piece. I am SOO in love with my ring! - Jewelry Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Great personal experience! These guys really know their stuff. We got our wedding bands from them, and they came out just as we wanted. They listened and didn't try to sell me, they just shared the differences between each type of band and asked what I wanted. My fiancé and I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Be sure to set your appointment on their website, or give them a call for one. They're in an office building so unless you know about them, you just wouldn't be able to find them read more

My review is about four years late - but better late than never! My engagement ring (and wedding band) are GOOOOOORGEOUS. I would give Pavé 10 stars if I could. I was randomly recommended this place by a colleague so I made an appointment after work one day. It must have been fate. I had an amazing experience here. I wanted either a pear or oval shaped diamond with a halo and pavé band. Vishal had a couple for me to look at. He was very honest and kind, not pushy at all. I never once felt pressured to buy a diamond From Pavé. His prices were decent, I found exactly what I wanted (carat size and shape) which was also in my now-husband's price range. Like I said, it was fate. Wedding band shopping was a breeze too. I wanted something super simple, a pave band but I ended up going with something more intricate. It's absolutely beautiful. My husband looked at wedding bands for himself but Vishal was great and recommended he find something online because what he wanted was something simple. I was impressed that Vishal wasn't pushy about this and recommend what the more practical option was. Honestly, I didn't even wear my ring for a few weeks after getting engaged because it was TOO beautiful, I felt uncomfortable wearing it around sometimes! read more

Pave Jewelers - Beautiful ring. Ignore chipping nail polish. - Jewelry Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I came in for men's jewelry, specifically streetwear fast style. I soon realized it was more for engagement wedding ring styles and personal customizations. However the owner was super friendly, insightful, helped me find ring sizes and explained jewelry more in depth to me. Great attitude and would totally recommend anyone to come here. read more

My husband and I heard about Pave Jewelers from friends who have continuously used Pave for engagement rings and wedding bands. When it was time to pick our wedding bands, we decided to give them a try and were not disappointment! The brothers that own the store were great to work with, very personable. They were able to work within a price range and quickly deliver the bands within two weeks of the wedding date. I can't wait to celebrate future anniversaries so I can pick out more jewelry from Pave! read more

Vishal was recommended to us by some recently engaged/married friends, and we are so grateful to have heard about him! My fiance (who will probably write his own, separate review) purchased my engagement ring from Vishal. He shared that Vishal was friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and not at all 'pushy' about making a purchase. My fiance had visited a few larger 'chain' stores, and he said they didn't even come close to the personalized treatment and professionalism he experienced with Vishal. The engagement ring was a complete surprise, and I had no idea it was coming. My fiance and Vishal did some good work together, because my ring is absolutely perfect! I can't even say "it's exactly what I wanted", because I had no idea that rings like this even existed! It is a round sapphire in a compass point, 'tulip' setting. Everyone who sees it comments on how unique and special it is. I also appreciated the ease with which we made an online appointment with Vishal to have the ring re-sized to fit my finger. He has evening hours on certain days, making it convenient for working people. Whatever you are looking for, Vishal will either have it or find it for you! I would highly highly recommend him to my friends and family. I can't imagine that it gets better than this - especially for such an important purchase! read more

Vishal was lovely to work with. He patiently helped me tweak his standard engagement ring setting to my tastes, and walked through my wedding band design, as well as helping my fiance chose his wedding ring and helping me engrave it. I believe everything was reasonably priced, and Vishal was very transparent about costs. He was also very helpful and honest about the quality and properties of various settings and metals. It has been two and a half years, and tiny diamonds on my eternity wedding band (u-prong, split basket) have not budged, despite daily wear. I've known multiple friends whose rings have lost diamonds or gotten loose in a shorter time. Vishal's products are not just beautiful but good quality. read more

Pavé is an outstanding jeweler, I truly could not have asked for a better experience. I recently purchased and engagement ring from Vishal, who was great to work with. Every step of the way, I received excellent customer service and stayed in constant communication about the next steps I needed to take and the progress of the ring. They are honest and take time to educate you on purchasing a ring/stone while providing expert recommendations. They have a very nice showroom in which you can look at the different designs they offer and look at different stone options. The appointments are one on one, which gives you time without feeling rushed or pressured. One of the coolest aspects of their business is that they let you add customization to the designs you like if that is something you are interested in. This allowed me to design a ring that very few people if anyone else has. The finished product I recieved exceeded my expectations and was clearly made with care. My fiance loved the ring she got and has received tons of compliments in the short time she's had it. I would absolutely reccomend Pavé and will be using them in the future for our wedding bands. Customer service is excellent, pricing is fair, quality of work is exceptional and best of all, it is an well run business by good people. read more

I honestly can't say enough about Pave Jewelers and about Vishal. You will NOT be disappointed. My fiance and I went to several very reputable places in the DC area when we were discussing engagement rings and I am so glad we ultimately decided on Pave Jewelers. Here's why: For one thing, Vishal takes his time in everything he does. I can't stress how important this was for me. He works by appointment only which is amazing because when you're there, you have his undivided attention and that is something we did not experience anywhere else. Our first appointment with him was later in the evening and Vishal stayed late to accommodate us. When we got there, it was not an in and out or "routine" situation. He didn't have a sales pitch. Instead, he started from scratch and spent a great deal of time listening, asking questions, and giving thoughtful feedback. It didn't just stop there. After we left, we had several email exchanges with him and not only did he reply quickly, but his responses were often lengthy and very detailed which we appreciated so much. He puts time into everything. Another important reason why you should go here is that Vishal will encourage and help you become educated on diamonds - not just pick from options he puts in front of you. There is a lot that goes into buying a diamond and my fiance went from knowing nothing to ultimately making a VERY informed decision and that made him feel empowered and comfortable with the purchase. There were several instances where Vishal pointed out diamonds that were less expensive, but also better quality from some that cost more. He is there to benefit YOU before himself. Good luck finding that anywhere else. Lastly, the quality at Pave Jewelers is exceptional. At first glance, my engagement ring looks very simple but really, it was quite tricky to make. I have a very decent sized stone, but wanted a very thin and subtle setting which included a bezel. I had 2 jewelers tell me it was going to be tough to make and they didn't seem too keen on the idea. Well, Pave delivered and exceeded my expectations. The ring is absolutely perfect and I get compliments on it on a daily basis. I still catch myself staring at it 8 months later and I can't wait to go back to Vishal for our wedding bands and (hopefully) more! read more

Working with Vishal at Pave Jewelers has been such a pleasure throughout our whole engagement experience. He worked with my fiancé to make my custom engagement ring and I could not have designed a more gorgeous ring! I told my fiancé I wanted rose gold, cushion cut, with a halo setting- but Vishal took that criteria and went way beyond what I could have ever imagined. I have been engaged a year and a half, and I get complements on my ring every day on how unique it is. Not only is vishal very professional and personable, but he is also very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. He can create jewelry that ranges from the most classic styles to very eclectic. Some jewelers will not design jewelry that does not match their personal taste, but Vishal will help create what YOU want. He not only does wedding jewelry, but he also does other high quality fashion jewelry, as well. I mentioned to him that I wanted to add a halo to a pair of diamond studs I have, that is next on my list! Definitely recommend Pave to anyone looking to have a great overall experience- jewelry selection, customer service- he will treat you like VIP! read more

I just received my beautiful 14k yellow gold diamond bar necklace that I purchased for my daughter. She is very particular about her jewelry pieces and I know she is going to love this as much as I do. The color and clarity of the diamonds are exquisite. First time that I've purchased from Pave and I am extremely pleased with this beautiful necklace, they made this necklace exactly the way I asked. Exceptional customer service. Thank you so much. read more

Searching for an engagement ring can be quite a circus sometimes, especially for dudes such as myself with no clue going into the process. Yea, I read all of the major online articles that every guy reads, but until you truly do a Q&A with an expert, and hold a few diamonds and settings in your hand, you won't really know what you're doing. Enter Vishal and Pave Jewelers. Being a private jeweler, you set up a one on one consultation with him without any fuss or pressure to purchase a ring. I heard about Pave through a friend, and after ring shopping tirelessly through the usual places - Jared's, Tiffany, Diamond Direct, Mervis, etc, I decided to stop by here. Vishal broke everything down in terms of what I should look for within my budget. The 4 C's? Yea, most of it is B.S. We narrowed down the particulars of what I wanted, and never once did I feel like I had to make an immediate decision. Vishal even encouraged me to shop around, and I continued to do so. But after a couple of weeks of fruitless searching, I came back and Vishal was able to get me what I wanted at the absolute best price! Pave's collection is on par with the major retail stores, and he actually buys from the same suppliers as them. Most of the diamonds he has are GIA certified (and yes, do get it certified). His one on one consultations are so helpful and so stress free, I seriously recommend at least coming in for this. Needless to say, my fiance LOVED her ring! We came back a few months later to choose our wedding bands and again, it was such a seamless process. Vishal will go above and beyond your needs and I can't thank him enough for all of this help! read more

I recently got engaged, and had absolutely ZERO idea what to do about the ring. I went to several jewelers and every time felt like they were trying to sell me something. In short, I was completely lost. I actually went to my fiance and told her I needed help; since she is the one wearing the ring every day. Luckily I checked Yelp and found Vishal from Pave. He is nothing like a "typical" jeweler. We sat and talked, he asked lots of questions, and when he realized I knew nothing about engagement rings he gave a 101 education. I found the interaction to be so refreshing, and the entire process was so natural. I cannot recommend Vishal enough. Although I initially went to him for engagement and wedding rings, I am sure that the next time I buy my wife nice jewelry I will come back to Pave. read more

I had purchased a plain white gold wedding band months ago, but at six weeks away from my wedding, I decided I wanted something with a bit more sparkle for the wedding photos. Thanks to these glowing Yelp reviews, I set up an appointment with Vishal to both resize my engagement ring and design a complimentary wedding band. I came in with just an idea of incorporating yellow diamonds into the band, and Vishal was ready with ideas on current trends and things he's done before. He helped me pick out a band setting that complimented my ring from another designer and was able to do the alternating white and yellow diamonds I wanted! Resizing took about a week and the custom wedding band about three weeks. The process was so fun and easy, and I couldn't be more excited to start wearing the band in a few weeks! Thanks so much, Vishal! read more

I bought an engagement ring from Pave. My fiancee loves it! I could not be happier with Vishal at Pave Jewelers. He really took the time to make me comfortable with my purchase. I had been to a fancy Georgetown jeweler that also specialized in custom engagement rings. I felt uncomfortable for the whole time. The salesperson gave me a pitch about what stone size would hold value and other nonsense. Vishal met my budget and exceeded my expectations. I had a difficult timing figuring out what I wanted (the ring was a surprise) and he gave me useful suggestions to guide me to my choice. He tried to get a rush job to get the ring before my vacation, but when the manufacturer couldn't do it he gave me a plain setting so I could propose on the trip. A+ Give them a try, you won't be disappointed read more

I found Vishal on Yelp from other peoples reviews and am very grateful that I went through him. I would recommend him in a heat beat. What everyone else states in this review can not be more accurate! Vishal is a honest and genuine business man who does NOT try and pull any tricks. I walked in as a typical man not knowing too much about diamonds and rings. He was very informative through the entire process and took me step by step through it all. He taught me about types of diamonds through the 4-C's, type of rings, styles and on and on. I could not have been more grateful for all of his help. My Fiancé loves the custom engagement ring and she doesn't stop getting compliments. I enjoyed working with him so much that I am going back for her wedding band as well. As I no longer am in the Virginia area, he is doing everything via email and has not skipped a beat. read more

If I could give Vishal and his brother 100 stars I would Vishal was the most patient person EVER! They're Customer Service is Impeccable I would recommend anyone looking for Fine Jewelry to choose Pave`. I just proposed to my Fiance on yesterday and she is more than satisfied and so am I...Thank you, Thank you, Thank you is All I can say! GOD Bless you and your business! read more

These people are total pros in the best sense of the word. Exceptionally beautiful creations and merchandise and a friendly, skilled staff that makes you feel at home. My thanks to the College Ave staff, especially Myles, for their assistance. I came in with a minor repair issue and was dealt with courteously and efficiently. First-rate jewelers and very nice people. read more

Vishal and Kavish are exceptional. They have an incredibly diverse selection of jewelry of the highest quality. They can make any type of jewelry you want come true! Above all, Vishal and Kavish have amazing personalities. They don't push anything on you - they're very respectful , thoughtful, and considerate. They explain everything they do to ensure your peace of mind. They go above and beyond to present you with all of the potential options available to you in the area - even if they're not the ones to provide that service. That being said - they offer everything you really need - custom made jewelry, accurate and pristine duplicates, professional polishing, ring resizing, appraisals- you name it. Their showroom is very nice and constantly evolving. The personal touch provided by their service is icing on the cake. We can't recommend pave jewelers enough and we are happy to reach out to them for all of our jewelry needs. Professional, accessible, and kind. We would highly recommend Vishal and Kavish for all of your jewelry needs! read more

Great customer service and incredible selection of styles. We were able to get a ring that was exactly what we wanted and the owners were a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend. read more

Vishal made my recent engagement ring purchase as enjoyable of an experience as I could possibly imagine. It was such a great experience we went back for our wedding bands. I think what stood out to me is that he was happy to answer any question about rings I threw at him (and I had a ton of questions). By the end I felt like I had the perfect ring for us picked out. Also, no matter what budget you have in mind he treats you as if you're the only customer he's dealing with. I will definitely recommend him to friends who are looking for engagement rings. read more

Vishal & Kavish were exceptional to work with. I was recommended Pave Jewelers from a friend and decided to check them out. It wasn't until after deciding to purchase an engagement ring from them did I check their Yelp page. It was no surprise that they have a 5 star rating. The personalized care and attention to detail they have sets them apart from any other jeweler I've spoken to. The 1-on-1 appointments and wealth of knowledge Vishal has helps to ensure his customers are informed about what they are buying. He walked me through the different characteristics of each stone and what makes them different from one another. I'd recommend Pave Jewelers to anyone. My fiancée and I will be return to get our wedding bands from them. Overall, couldn't be more please with their professionalism and service. read more

First let me say that my fiancé absolutely loves the engagement ring! She cannot stop looking at it and does not ever want to take it off. She has received nothing but positive remarks on the finished product from all our friends and family. Vishal is exceptional with his professionalism and very understanding of your needs and desires. He goes above and beyond in describing the 4 C's of diamonds. He is very responsive to any and all questions. I want to thank you for the unbelievable help you provided in the design and creation of the ring! I can't wait to work with you to design the wedding band and for you to meet the love of my world. Thank you for everything! read more
