Dominion Jewelers

nd buying process. The rings also turned out beautifully, as they were custom designed/made. Additionally, the store associates were very helpful and did not pressure us into making purchase above our intended price range. I highly enjoy being able to stop by the store at any time to get my rings cleaned and the settings checked. I would highly recommend this jeweler!

helle was amazing. She helped my husband design the most perfect engagement ring and then was so incredibly helpful when we came back in to get it sized and cleaned. She also helped us design our wedding bands. She even sent back my wedding band when she noticed a tiny flaw (that I probably would've never even noticed myself). My husband even told me that if he ever needs to buy me jewelry in the future, Dominion's is the only place he'll even think about going. They are a little more expensive than some other places but 100% worth it with the care and quality that you get there.

ience!

tive. Our bands are beautiful! Dominion also customized my bridal earrings and necklace from other pieces of jewelry given to me by my parents over the years.

(to look at engagement rings), they were thorough in explaining how diamonds are graded and priced. My husband then came in later to buy my engagement ring, which they had ready in less than two weeks. Unfortunately, there was something wrong with my band, but they fixed it free of charge until it was right. We then bought our wedding bands from them, a short and simple appointment. We came to pick up the rings and they forgot to engrave them, but they did it on site while I waited. I would recommend as the service was nice and we both love our rings, but there was some headaches along the way due to the band and engraving.

and really helpful. We loved that she made us feel like part of the "Dominion family." We know we'll be going back to her for anniversary jewelry in the future. (Hopefully many many times!)

d bands that we loved and were able to customize to get exactly what we wanted. Now, they aren't necessarily the cheapest around, BUT I think for jewelry you do get what you pay for, and we both didn't mind spending a bit more to get high quality pieces. And we now have these lovely, heirloom quality pieces that are perfect for us. Plus the staff was great to work with. We worked with Rachelle, who made the whole experience very pleasant. I'd highly recommend! We'll definitely shop here for future jewelry purchases.

ate consultations, which was really nice during the wedding band process. My wedding band was custom made and they did a wonderful job at making sure it matched my engagement ring. All of the staff are very friendly and make sure that the experience is easy and enjoyable. We will definitely use Dominion again for future jewelery purchases. Love them!

ng filigree band. It was a bit higher than we wanted to pay so we decided to look elsewhere. We stopped in at Dominion by chance when looking for my husband's ring. He found quite a few that appealed to him. He really liked a braided white gold ring but it was a little pricey. I convinced him to splurge since it really is his only accessory and he loves it. While we were there we asked if they could make a ring to match my engagement ring. They said they could. The price was half as much as the other place and it matches perfectly.

wanted, and I was the most obnoxiously picky person on the planet. Sergio made my two-tone gold, heart shaped amethyst surprise-stone, knife edge setting, antiqued style filigree with three PERFECTLY proportioned stones - dreams come to life. It was ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! I absolutely love my ring, like, to the ends of the planet. It is the most gorgeous, perfect thing I've ever seen. It's so beautiful it distracts me sometimes. Then, as persnicketty as I was about the engagement ring, I was the polar opposite about the wedding ring. No idea what I wanted. i was completely over whelmed and confused. I made an appointment with Sergio to design it, and my plan was just to give him a bunch of "inspiration pictures" of rings that I liked, and tell him to work his fabulous magic. But when I got there for my appointment, he happened to be occupied, so i was just browsing in the display case, when BAM! i see the perfect wedding ring sitting right there in the case. I was scared it wouldn't look good with my custom-made engagement ring, but when he took i tout of the case, and put it together with my engagement ring, it was just perfect... totally meant to be. So I can vouch not only for their fantastic ability to make custom designed rings to very exacting specifications, but they also have lovely things in stock that are already made right there. I think my bridal set is the most beautiful, perfect thing on the planet, and I can't imagine having anything better!

k with Marsha at Dominion to create his custom vintage-inspired design. For wedding rings, Marsha was extremely patient while we checked out all the rings and finally decided on a metals, finishes, clarities, etc. Our rings were ready in about 3 weeks, and we were able to split the payments. All in all a great experience and a very classy establishment!

ngagement ring. They turned out beautifully!! My husband picked a tungsten band which was very reasonably priced! We will definitely go back for our future jewelry needs!

me exact thing, but for a significantly cheaper, reasonable price than the designer band it was based off of. The staff was very knowledgeable. Although we had to follow-up to figure out when it would be arriving, the band looked perfect and we’ve been very happy with it. The ring, nonetheless, is very large, and we’ve had to have it resized twice, so that was a bit frustrating. In the end, I will likely go back for additional jewelry in the future for the prices alone!

was a big difference from the lackluster service we got from chain jewelers.

welers in our local Baltimore area. Upon my mom's recommendation (she'd heard about them on the radio), he visited Dominion and it was love at first sight. He had his grandmother's diamonds from her own engagement ring that he wanted to have reset, and he had a somewhat specific vision in mind. His words: "It was like they were inside my head." We worked with Rachelle, who was incredible. Not only is she kind and patient, she had wonderful ideas for how to make our vintage, inherited stones into rings (both engagement and wedding band) that are one-of-a-kind and absolutely perfect for me, just my style and taste. We also had my husband's band made there, based on a design they had on display but with some adjustments to make it ideal for him. Getting out to Virginia wasn't the easiest thing, but it was so worth the drive to wind up with rings that are so beautiful, so unique and so well made. I'd recommend Dominion to anyone and everyone--and I'd also recommend that you ask to work specifically with Rachelle. (Note the the cost I indicated is for all three rings.)

't find anything that fit the role of the "perfect ring." I wanted an estate ring... something antique looking, and I had a hard time finding the one that fit my tastes. My husband surprised me by taking me to Dominion to an appointment that he had set up- when I got there... I was told that I was going to design the ring. Interjection: CAROL KUBE IS AMAZING. Carol helped me pick out the perfect band... the perfect diamond to fit the band... and even gave my ring a special touch- my husbands initials and my initials are in either side of the ring... not engraved... but built into the ring. A few months later, my husband took me back to have the band custom fitted to match my ring and fit the somewhat difficult/odd shape. I will stand by Dominion- they are really (shockingly) affordable... and you get the diamond that you want. My husband and I were really struggeling with the discussion of prices- estate rings don't come cheap- but we were well under budget for a ring that well surpassed my expectations. I cried when he proposed... because the ring was just so dang beautiful.

on the first ring I ever tried on. It was just too perfect, exquisitely made, and different from any others I saw. The first times around, the customer service during the sales experience was just great. They were nice, not pushy, and simply stated their prices and answered any questions we had about the jewelry. I bought my ring, and they were able to turn the order around within 2 weeks (maybe less). I have my ring now, and it's beautiful, but I will say that the experience after I ordered the ring was a bit frustrating. I was getting down to the wire, which was partially my fault because I waited until the last minute, but they were willing to work with me, said they would get it done, and did get it done. The frustrating part was that the few times I called to try to get communication on whether or not it was going to be ready, I left messages that were not returned. I had to call several times, and wanted to make sure my ring was ready before driving through traffic and taking off work (since they keep regular working hours, which is not convenient if you work those too!) to pick it up. After getting confirmation, I got stuck in traffic en route to picking it up and they were kind enough to wait an additional 15 minutes so I could pick it up. They said they had taken a picture and weighed the ring for an appraisal and would send it to me. I had to wait 3 weeks afterward (and go on my honeymoon with an uninsured ring) before I finally bugged them a third time and finally received my appraisal. In summary, the end results were dazzling, and I had a great experience picking it out, but I wish that the end of sale experience was consistently great, and it wasn't. All told, I would go back to them again though, because they really have the most beautiful and unique new jewelry I've seen in the DC metro area at relatively reasonable prices.

out of his price range. I was so pleased that I went back and got his wedding band made there. We will be using them in the future. :)

is that you can't be in too much of a hurry. We got really down to the wire with the engagement ring because he wanted to propose on our trip to Hawaii and it almost wasn't done. Just give them plenty of time and call to check in. Amazing, beautiful work!

th the look of my engagement ring, we went back for my wedding band. The combination of the two are just amazing (the ring settings are gorgeous and the diamonds are so sparkly!) and because they were designed specifically for me, they are completely unique. We were both so pleased with our service and the products at Dominion, we ended up buying our wedding presents for each other there too (beautiful Movado watches!)

to match my engagement ring and were very patient with my husband as he tried to figure out what type of ring he would be willing to wear for the rest of his life =) The rings are beautiful and I thought they were very fairly priced.

different jewelry stores to try and find a weddng band, with no luck, Nothing fit flush with my ring. We then went to Dominion. With in five mins. Rachelle knew how we should re-set the ring, not only to make a band sit flush, but also to make my diamond look even better. After seeing what a grerat job they did, we had rings made for myself and my husband and they are perfect. In addition i bought a watch for him as a wedding gift, which he also loves. They cleaned my ring everytime i saw them. Great service and i thought very fair prices. Beautiful workmanship. They will be our jewelers for life!! Sherrie

ooking for within our price range. He also helped design the band and made suggestions of what might look nice (or what to leave out). In the end, we could not be happier with our bands and will go back to Dominion for every piece of jewelry we buy from here on out!

ty of the ring they helped him design and their customer service is top-notch. They did a beautiful job updating my ring with sapphires and creating my wedding band to match my engagement ring. This family owned and operated business is first-class, and their staff is more than helpful and wonderful artisans. They will be our jeweler for life.

Not only was Marsha willing to work with us on the price, but she let us wear the rings we were looking at while we went out to lunch to make our decision. Even though I ended up going with a plain band instead of the more expensive diamond band, the service was great. We both love our rings.
