Mervis Diamond Importers

Go here for all of your jewelry needs. Fazken has been taking care of us for the past 2 years. He approaches business in a very comfortable manner. Be honest with your price point and he will do his best to get you the highest quality for your Dollar. He is extremely fair, but most importantly he is a genuine man and takes care of you no matter the amount of your budget. Mervis Diamond's customer service is 1st class. My wife and I are extremely happy with their services and we will continue to do business with them for years to come. I don't want to forget Fazken. His craftsmanship is top notch!

I was led to Mervis Diamonds by all the glowing TheKnot reviews, and they absolutely lived up to their reputation. We wanted a new setting for my wife's original engagement ring diamond. Deva explained all viable options without coming off like a salesman. No pressure or spin whatsoever. They delivered the new ring quicker than promised, and it was everything they'd promised. Very straight-forward, highly capable folks. Absolutely recommend them!

Monica is incredible! I did my research and came to the Mervis Diamonds to purchase an engagement ring. They were beyond helpful in helping me choose the perfect stone and band. I couldn't be more happier! My fiancé is beyond thrilled with her ring. I'm a lifelong customer now and will purchase all my jewelry from them. Do yourself a favor and go to them for all your jewelry needs, they are on top of their game. Thanks Monica for everything you do! I'm now referring everyone I know to them…

Just stepping into this jeweler Janette made me so comfortable and gave me the best customer service. She asked for my budget, gave me options and NEVER pressured me. In fact she looked out for me and gave me honest feedback, I found the perfect custom ring for my girlfriend and she was able to get it done the same day for pick up. I would recommend this place to everyone and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

This review is long overdue. Fazken is hands down the BEST. Nothing less than an amazing experience, the quality is unsurpassed their honesty and integrity is more than enough reason to use Mervis Diamond Importers as your one and only stop for all jewelry needs. I described exactly what I was looking for (strict definitions by my GF at the time, now wife!) Fazken had a variety of diamonds shipped in so I could pick the right one which ended up being perfect for the desired look. The turn around time was surprisingly quick as well! Everywhere we go my wife gets compliments on her ring, including her band which we got from Mervis Diamonds as well. Look no further for your jewelry needs, 'Mervis Diamond Importers' is top notch!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! I can’t tell you how great this store is. I love the service, the quality of stones are second to none & the price is spot on. You can come into this store without pressure. When it was time to secure my fiance’s engagement ring, Monica got me the most beautiful ring, it was a perfect surprise! The wedding bands were super easy to secure as well. Just loved this store!

I just purchased my second diamond ring from Mervis Diamond Importers & once again the team there provided exceptional service. Brenda took the time to find the perfect diamond (my wife cannot stop looking at her ring) The prices are the best in the business & the in-house craftsmanship is second to none. If you’re in the market for a new diamond or any other jewelry need, I strongly encourage you to try Mervis Diamonds first!

We (me & my fiancee) happened to check out Mervis Diamond Importers after hearing some recommendations from friends. Becky was absolutely wonderful to work with. She always took the time & care for us to feel like we could as many questions as we needed. Both my fiancee & I, have always felt at ease communicating with her. We’ll plan the future purchase of our wedding bands with Becky. I can’t say enough how much my fiance loves her ring.

Five-star thanks to the man, the owner, the myth, the legend- Jonathan Mervis. He was outstanding to work with when I was shopping for wedding bands. Excellent pricing, communication & professionalism. I’d recommend this store (Mervis Diamond Importers) if you are in the market for wedding bands, engagement rings or something nice as a surprise to your SO. Their professionalism, friendliness, knowledge & attention to detail will definitely impress and astound you!

had been to a number of jewelry stores in search of an engagement ring. However, after being at Mervis Diamond Importers for just a few minutes, I knew this place was different. They had a wide variety of rings. The staff were extremely helpful & spent a lot of time walking me through different options. They never pressured me to buy anything. Instead, they helped me find the right ring at a good price. When I presented the ring to my now fiancee, she loved it! Bottomline: Amazing customer service, great selection & superb experience!

Great customer service! It’s sad to me how pleasantly surprising great service can be! Truly classy, they were never pushy or condescending, helpful & nice. I went with my fiance to look at engagement ring & we felt welcomed and were offered a drink as soon as we walked in. Dodi was very conscious of the different stages of ‘looking’ one can be in & was never pushy and never made me feel as though we were wasting her time. She showed us some amazing pieces & we bought a gorgeous one among them. If you want something different, just go to Mervis Diamonds.

The service was incredible! Monica was amazing. She was very knowledgeable & caring. Honestly, this is some of the best of any business I’ve ever been to! The sales staffs help you get what you want, not tell you what you want like other places. Their store policies are unbeatable. Their inventory is classic & unique. Going to this establishment was a fantastic experience. When I’m rich, I’ll return to buy up the whole store!

Buying an engagement ring that fits your specific taste & budget is a big undertaking. It can be difficult & confusing. Fortunately, I went to Mervis & Janette was able to help make this a fun & exciting process. She took extra time to explain the pros & cons of different styles, offered a lot of options & worked with me over a couple months to create a personalized settings that allowed me to give my fiancee a beautiful ring! I couldn’t be happier with the process and Janette’s professionalism & customer service. Highest recommendation!

Monica really made me feel comfortable during my engagement ring purchasing experience. Knowledgeable & very straightforward advice. Service by (incredibly easy to arrange) appointment, so you receive undivided attention. All that really matters though, my wife loves her ring. Also, bought our wedding rings here, putting our money where my mouth is so to speak. Will be back for more gold & gems!

I’ve never written a Yelp review before. But Mervis is above & beyond service made me feel I must share my experience with everyone. I can’t say enough praise about Monica. Being a genuinely nice lady, she really knows what she is talking about & passionate about her trade. She was extremely helpful, knowledgeable & wasn’t pushy at all. Do yourself a favor & make an appointment. You won’t be disappointed!

Almost a year ago, I purchased an engagement ring for my soon to be fiancee. Naturally I was nervous & a little unsure of what I was looking for. But Brenda helped me find the perfect diamond & then the perfect setting. She was exceptionally helpful from the first day I walked in & now a year later, she’s just as eager to help. We just recently returned to look at wedding bands & again Brenda helped us find what we were looking for. Her professionalism, friendliness, knowledge & attention to detail continues to impress and astound me. I’ve told many friends about Mervis Diamonds & will continue to recommend them to everyone that asks.

Excellent jewelry store that offers a good selection of ready made items & does beautiful custom work. I’ve visited other local jewelry stores, but the quality & customer service here is unmatched. Customers are given enough time & attention. The team always understood what I was saying and asking to sees. I would highly recommend Mervis Diamonds & I’m extremely happy to have found trusted jewelers. I’ll be back very soon! Bottomline: If you need some real jewelry, go & visit this store.

I bought our wedding bands here & had exceptional customer service! They’re very helpful & knowledgeable. I didn’t feel pressured into buying their product which made me want to buy from them even more. They have a large variety that is beautiful & will suit anyone’s taste. From the moment we walked in they treated us phenomenally. We’ll now be lifelong customers! We highly highly recommend.

Great friendly staff. I bought an engagement ring with Mervis 26 years ago and I have never regretted it. Fazken at the Tysons Store was most helpful with an appraisal that I needed on a ring that was bought elsewhere. The Tysons Corner Store is very nice and that staff is most professional.

My diamond ring was from Mervis and it was a Tacori. It so happened that I got to know about their amazing collection through my sister. She has a halo Tacori ring with a round center -- which I liked, but I wanted something a bit different. (Our mom and all our family basically has rounds, which is ok, but not for me). I went with my then BF to try on cushion cut Tacori rings -- and lo and behond -- he brought one home for me just a few months later! Yay!! Makes me smile just thinking about it.

I wanted to get a ring for my now-fiance but was nervous about where to start. I asked around and multiple people mentioned that they shopped at Mervis and I should check it out. I’m glad I did. The staff was helpful & knowledgeable. I told them a little about what I knew I wanted and they brought out great options. Some were similar to what I had seen on their website and some were completely unique. Monica took her time to help me pick out the best & most beautiful ring for our price range. Both my fiancee and I were extremely pleased with their service and will be back to get the matching wedding bands in a few months.

Excellent customer service!

In the last one year I've bought an Engagement ring and a Wedding band from Mervis. Safe to say that I've found a Jeweler for life. Special thanks to Lisa Binder who is an absolute life saver!!! My first experience with Mervis was in July 2007, when I turned to them for help after another jeweler failed to deliver what I needed. With two weeks to the proposal date I was left high and dry without a ring to propose with. Then came Lisa who first calmed me down and then started reaching out to the designers in NY. Within two weeks I got the ring I wanted, just in time for the big proposal. My second experience was only a few hours back. I was looking for a wedding band that matched the engagement ring. I reached out to trusty Lisa and explained her what I needed. The price of the wedding band from the same designer had recenlty gone up substantially. Knowing my budget, she went out of her way to work with the desingers to get the ring at the price before the hike. She could have easily sold the ring to me at the higher price and I would have bought it. But she did not. Her commitment to her clients speaks volumes about her and the service that Mervis provides to its clients. Buying diamonds and rings is a daunting task for any guy. We need someone to help us who we can trust. Mervis is the place to go and Lisa is the person to talk to.

After visiting other jewelers in the area and being unimpressed with the level of service, we recently went to Mervis looking for an engagement ring. We had a wonderful experience working with Mika Rocket! We never felt rushed or pressured during any of our visits with her. She was very kind, helpful and patient with us throughout the entire process. She took the time to understand what we were looking for and worked with the designer to create the PERFECT ring that fit within our budget. It's exactly what we wanted! We highly recommend going to Mervis and working with Mika!

I recently got married and one of the things that helped make it special was Mervis Diamond and Emilie. I had a very large group of girls with me to help pick out the perfect engagement ring for my girlfriend. We set aside two weekends to check out a few places to browse(first weekend) and purchase(second weekend). After stopping in 3-4 other jewlery stores which had mostly off the shelf rings that didnt really look appealing to our group one person suggested we head across the street to the Mervis in Vienna. From the minute you enter the premises we were greeted by not one but four people offering to take our coats but also offered juice/tea/coffee. They inquired about what we were looking for and then escorted us to a glass enclosed room. From the minute we sat down we had a ton of information waiting for us to browse as they requested a diamond consultant to come help us. We only had waited about 5 minutes when Emilie came in and introduced herself to us and what she did at Mervis. She gave a detailed but brief background of her expertise and went to work helping us choose the perfect CUSTOM engagement ring. Emilie took most of her day to sit with us as we were at the location 3-4+ hrs. We went through which type of band and what style we wanted(the platinum looks FANTASTIC BTW) and then we started to craft which style of diamond we wanted as the center piece. We found the perfect diamond but i still felt it needed one on each side to compliment so she had the great idea to add in 2 stones to each side. She sketched out a nice little diagram of how each stone would look on the band i chose and i was 100% happy. We went from off the shelf to something that was 100% ours and one of a kind. Since the ring was 100% custom they gave me a figure of 4-6 weeks which i had no issues with as i wasnt planning of proposing till june. After 3 weeks i got a call from Emilie(not some machine) and she gave me the great news that it had come in and looked great. I took the short drive down to the Mervis store in Rockville with a friend of the soon to be fiance and both of us were blown away with how beautiful the ring was. It was exactly how i wanted. When we went to pay they asked my form of payment(paid in full at the time of receipt) and had no issue taking a debit card for the purchase and everything went smoothly with as large of a purchase as it was(gotta brag a bit). Proposed a month later and my now wife broke down in tears. She couldnt believe how gorgeous the ring was and how jealous most of her friends were. It really was the best experience a very nervous guy(Emilie probably knows me shaking) could have had. I was so happy with my first purchase with Mervis that my fiance and I went back to Mervis and specifically Emilie for our purchase of our wedding bands. And as before everything went smooth as butter. Blown away again by the service. Emilie - thank you for everything, you truly made our buying experience special.

My fiancé had an idea of the ring he wanted to give me when he proposed. Arnie at Mervis helped him bring his idea to life. After he popped the question, at Guinness in Ireland, he could not stop talking about his vision and how fantastic Arnie at Mervis is. He couldn't wait for me to meet him so I did the day after we got back to town. I was forewarned about the security at the doors but I can't help but agree the security made me feel more at ease. We went back to see Arnie for our wedding bands and it was so easy. They took the design for my engagement ring and created a beautiful wedding band for my fiancé. I can't wait til the rings come in. Thanks Arnie we feel like we have a new friend.

Dodi Giuliani is amazing!!!! She worked tirelessly to make my wife's engagement ring perfect. I wanted to increase the size of the cushion cut diamond, so the size of the halo had to be increased as well. To top it of, I needed the ring back by a specific date. Did Dodi deliver? Absolutely!!!! If you want extra special treatment with your diamond purchase, go see Dodi.

Maria was my salesperson. She provided excellent background on each ring and explained how the different settings and bands would look on my fiance's finger. I would highly recommend both Mervis and Maria! She clearly knows her stuff and is very helpful. She also did not apply pressure and was transparent about everything. She even showed me the diamond I was purchasing up close under the microscope and explained what to look for.

It is impossible to live in the DMV without hearing about Mervis Diamond Importers. I must admit I was a wee bit leery at my first visit to their showroom in Tysons corner. My partner and I decided to visit after we attended a wedding expo in VA were we were treated a little like a curious oddity. So many vendors seemed excited to work with a gay couple. It all rang a bit hollow to me, so I think I was a little angsty when we approached the Mervis store with "1-800-her love" running through my head. My partner and I drew in a deep breath and waited to be buzzed into the showroom. We were greeted warmly by their receptionist and were were asked if we would like a refreshment. We told the receptionist that we were interested in speaking with someone about diamond wedding bands for men. She introduced us to Fazken Krikorian, who walked us to his office. He offered us a seat and began asking us questions. No pressure, no pushiness, just honest interest in hearing what we were thinking about. We showed him some photos and he gave us feedback on what he thought the pros and cons were of each ring. He encouraged us to think about two custom rings. He explained that from how he understood our interest and extrapolating from the photos, custom was the way to go. Fazken walked us through each stage of the design of the rings. He guided us with visual aids, specifically, he brought several bands along with more loose diamonds than I have ever seen in my life. He explained to us that as you select bigger diamonds the height of the ring must also grow. As we were both clear that we did not want one of those lollipop diamond rings on our finger or a big solitar, he began to sketch out a ring design that we both fell in love with. Now we just needed to find two identical diamonds, easy right? Not quite. Apparently, finding two stones of the same carat, cut, clarity and color is not easy. Fazken, though, was undaunted. It took a bit of time to locate the twin of the original diamond we selected but patience paid off. We even received several phone calls from Mr. Mervis letting us know how the search was proceeding. When the second diamond was located Fazken invited us into the showroom to check it out and compare it to our original diamond. With each stone we received GIA reports (which was so helpful in providing information that the naked eye could not see). Since we had already approved the CAD that Fazken generated for the ring, we were able to move immediately to manufacture of the ring. In less than two weeks we received a call from Fazken that our rings were ready. Our excitement was matched only by Fazken's and Mr. Mervis (who stopped in to say hi and ask how we liked the finished product). In sum, our experience was effortless. We wholeheartedly recommend Fazken Krikorian and Mervis Diamond to anyone interested in diamond jewelry.

My Mervis experience was truly exceptional. From the moment I walked in the door, I was greeted and given a full diamond buying explanation. Jordan, the Mervis associate with guided me through the buying process, was fantastic. He took the time to explain the complexities of what to look or when purchasing a diamond. Further, he helped me design a custom engagement ring that my Fiancee loves! The entire process was superb. If you are looking to design a custom engagement ring, looking for a diamond, or just want a premium buying experience, see Jordan at Mervis. I could not have asked for a better service experience.

My fiancée and I recently went to Mervis in Rockville to purchase wedding bands (given that I had previously had a great experience at their D.C. K Street location, where I bought my fiancée's engagement ring). We were helped by Maria Kamali, who was a wonderful guide in finding the bands that matched our personal tastes and fit within our budget. She was extremely helpful in explaining all the different options open to us, including engraving and how pricing differed depending on size and whether my fiancée's band was braided all the way around or only halfway. We appreciated how the process never felt rushed (we were there for over an hour) and how Maria and the other staff made an effort to make us comfortable (they brewed some green tea for us). We also appreciated how there was no pressure to buy right there and then, despite our being sure that we would eventually make a purchase. Because we had some questions about engraving and pricing, Maria told us she would call us in a couple of days with answers on both and then we could make our decision. She followed through as promised and we ordered. Given the stellar quality of the engagement ring, we're sure the final products will be great when they're ready to be picked up. Thanks, Maria! We couldn't be happier with how everything went.

I went to Mervis with a girlfriend of mine to get some ideas for her engagement ring! Her guy gave us the OK to pick out some styles she liked and then he would go in afterwards and pick from amongst those. And they decided he would pick out the center stone on his own too. She got to choose the shape, but not the size or clarity. Anyway we went into their store one Saturday afternoon and I have to say we were treated very well. (This was after we were basically ignored at a few other stores for being 2 girls shopping without a guy). We looked a whole range of different styes but really liked the micro pave halo rings the most. We wrote down a few different style numbers for her man and then left. It was a great experience. I found the sales associate very nice and informative. I am not sure why others had bad experiences. Maybe some of their sales people are better than others. We worked with Emily and I can recommend her. I don't know her hours but she was there on Saturday. I am not sure where the boyfriend will ultimately buy the ring. We ended up giving him a long list of options from three different places. But of them all, I have to say we got the best service at Mervis. Hey that rhymes.

Gail is great! My fiance got my engagement ring here, and I love it! He was very pleased with the price as well. We bought our wedding bands there today, and we were once again very pleased with the service. Please visit Mervis - it will be worth it - ask for Gail.

My husband (finace then) initially (and later I) worked closely with Rahul Vohra of Mervis Diamond Importers of Tysons/Vienna -- best decision ever! Rahul is a Senior Diamond Consultant, and very well educated in the business. He was extremely professional and really worked with us to get us exactly what we (ME) wanted! We started from scratch -- I got to pick the size and the 4Cs with the help of Rahul of course. We were deciding between the two: Tacori or Verragio. For me, I liked the very detailed and intricate designs that Verragio had, so we went with them. Rahul worked with Verragio to get us EXACTLY what we wanted, custom designed to the T. Our design was so custom, that Barry Verragio himself had to get involved and over-see the process of the ring! The final piece was just unbelievably gorgeous. And we selected a beautiful Verragio band to go along with it. I would recommend Mervis to all and furthermore, recommend you work with Rahul Vohra -- no pushy sales, finds you exactly what you are looking for, bends over backwards to help you get what you want, and makes you a life long customer! Thank you Mervis Vienna and especially Rahul Vohra!

My husband bought my original diamond from Mervis and it is beautiful, we are now shopping at Mervis again for the 10 yr upgrade and we have had amazing customer service with Diane. Mervis has a great 'family' feel and beautiful inventory...you can trust the staff and they always make time to answer all of your questions as well as providing wonderful feedback. I look forward to working with Diane and Mervis for many years!

My finance and I stopped by the store recently and had a wonderful experience with Jeanne. We had been ring shopping at some other stores but didn't get the quality of service we were hoping for...but once we met Jeanne, we felt like we were talking to a friend and we trusted her judgement and direction with getting a proper stone for our budget. Overall we had a good time , especially my finance, and we knew leaving there that we were getting the best deal in town. If you are looking, head over to Mervis and ask for Jeanne.

We started looking at engagement rings prospectively about a year ago at a variety of stores. And while many stores did not take us seriously, Nina at Mervis did. She gave us a broad overview of our choices, and was easy and pleasant to deal with. At no point did we feel pressured to make a decision before we were ready. So when it came time to actually purchase the ring, it was an easy choice to go back to Mervis. Again Nina was wonderful and helped me select a great diamond and setting within a price range I was comfortable with. My fiancee loves it! Everything about the transaction with Mervis was outstanding, and I highly recommend Nina.

I had an extremely tight budget and was headed for the local mall to find a ring. Luckily my recently engaged friend called up his new buddy, Evan Mervis, at the Rockville Mervis Diamond, and found that he could clear some time for us. Not only was Evan able to find an option twice as good as I'd expected for my price limit, he was able to deeply educate us on diamond evaluation and share advice on proposal techniques. Later, we went to the mall to check out the large chain stores and smaller ones, as well. Some of the price ranges were close, but since Evan had taken the time to teach us how to find inclusions and compare other facets, we came away largely disappointed from the selections available at the mall. Evan treats each customer as a friend, and establishes a sense of trust by giving honest and direct answers. If he can't manage something, he doesn't BS about it. He uses his experience combined with your details to find a solution that meets or exceeds people's needs. He made my friend happy, and he made me happy, but that is not as important as Evan's ultimate goal: how happy he made our fiances. I'll definitely be returning for the wedding bands.

We recently purchased a Tacori engagement ring from Mervis. After shopping for the better part of two years, my (now) fiancee and I had a very good sense of what we wanted. The other jewelers we had worked with at other stores (from NY to DC) had a frustrating way of dancing around a lot of our direct questions (GIA vs. EGL, pricing structures, marketing strategies, etc). Jordan at Mervis was very blunt, very knowledgeable, and ultimately, his honest non-"salesy" approach to working with us is what won our business. Their prices were very fair (and we did a LOT of homework for comparison), but their quality of service and approach to the process was second to none. Highly recommend Mervis (and Jordan, if you can ask for him). He's honest, no pressure, and is extremely knowledgeable. We'll be back for sure.

When I began searching for the perfect engagement ring, it was a very anxious time. It was a very big deal to me and a once in a lifetime experience that I wanted to get right. In the beginning, I was clueless about the process but after finding Mervis Diamonds in Rockville and meeting Jill Alexander, I immediately felt better. She was very patient with me and took the time to first educate me on the 4 C's and the background of Mervis and then took the time to understand my needs before we even looked at any rings. After my first visit to Mervis, I knew there was no need to visit any other jewelers and I could find what I was looking for there. After selecting the ring, Jill and Mervis helped ensure all my needs were met for timing, delivery and finances and even followed up after. I did end up finding the perfect ring, which my fiance loved, and owe a huge thank you to Jill and Mervis for making the experience memorable, enjoyable and stress-free.

I started my engagement ring search about 4 months ago knowing absolutely nothing about diamonds, platinum, jewelry, or anything of the sort. I first walked into Mervis because they were convenient on my walk from my office to Farragut West metro. I didn't have an appointment but thought I'd just start looking and see what happens. After I got through their double doors, Jordan greeted me and was remarkably casual about the whole thing. I had expected a diamond store to be more uptight but he was about my age and had a sense of humor which made me feel comfortable. All I knew to start was that she liked the cushion shape (Her sister told me that, but what on earth is a cushion pillow diamond?!!). Jordan was super helpful and patient with me. He showed me what cushion shaped diamonds look like -- very interesting actually -- but also showed me some other shapes like rounds and princesses just so I felt more comfortable with the whole scene and knew what cushions were in the context of all other options. After never seeing loose diamonds before in my life, I was sort of amazed when I saw how tiny differences in color and sparkle make a HUGE difference to the price and overall beauty. I seriously must have looked at every diamond they had and figured out with Jordan's help where I wanted to be on the scale of color/clarity/cut/etc. I felt really good after that first visit, but I wanted to do some homework. So I went to a few other stores to see what they had to offer, and to be honest, nobody treated me with the same respect and attention to detail like Jordan. He was just really impressive in how much he knew about diamonds and he was happy to explain to me which elements of the diamond are important and make it like a ball of fire and sparkle, and which elements are less important and you can't see without a microscope. He helped me find the perfect combo, saving me money where we could but not skimping out where it's important. Damn I can't believe I just wrote so much here and I hope my fiance doesn't think I have a man-crush on Jordan now. I don't swing that way but seriously, I don't think I could have ever figured out buying an awesome diamond without his help.

We purchased our engagement ring and our wedding bands at Mervis diamonds and we had a fantastic experience. Our salesperson was Fazken Krikorian and he was excellent! He was very knowledgeable, did not pressure us and didn't even try to sell us the most expensive rings. He was very patient with our questions and responded to emails promptly - even off hours. I was dreading shopping for rings and Fazken made it enjoyable.

After my fiancé proposed last fall in Scotland he was very excited to tell me all about when/how/where he purchased my ring! He went to Mervis over the summer , just popped in completely unprepared and out of his element and was immediately approached by Maria Kamali, a senior diamond advisor! Long story short my fiancé said he felt so comfortable and not pressured in any way. He said the experience with her picking out my ring was relaxed, educational and not rushed what so ever! This past week we returned to Mervis so I could meet Maria and we could pick out our wedding bands! Everything he said about Maria was true. I immediately felt she wanted what was best for us, helped us stay within our budget while making sure were were 100% happy with our decisions/purchases! She talked with us about what we were looking for and brought out pieces until we found exactly what we wanted. Our experience with Mervis Diamond Importers, ESPECIALLY Maria Kamali was outstanding!

I had a great experience with the Rockville Mervis Diamonds when buying an engagement ring for my gf/now fiance. I set up an initial appointment just to better help me understand what I was getting into (I had no idea about diamonds/rings). I let them know up front that I probably wasn't going to be buying the ring for another 3-5 months and they were completely understanding. They help me understand what was worth spending on and what wasn't, explained the different styles, the process, etc. Pretty much every question I had leading up to the purchase. They also were very cognizant to work within the budget I laid out. They brought out stones and rings on both the low end and the high end, and not pressuring me in either direction. I went back to Mervis about 4 months later to actually make the purchase. The staff was just friendly as they were the first time, walking me through all my choices again to make sure I was comfortable with what I was buying - and in the end I was. (I did a lot of homework on blue nile to know exactly what prices I should be expecting for what I wanted, and Mervis was right in line). You're going to have pay for getting a quality ring, so be prepared. I would HIGHLY recommend Mervis when purchasing for engagement rings. I am an avid online shopper and deal seeker, but cutting corners on the engagement ring just didn't feel right.

I was thoroughly satisfied with my experience with Mervis. In particular, Emilie Brebeck was a joy to work with. After identifying a price range and type (princess cut), she brought out a broad variety of diamonds for me to choose from. She was incredibly patient and it was clear that she valued customer service. After three different visits, I was confident that I had found the perfect engagement ring and wedding band. Since I purchased both, she worked with the owner to negotiate a significant discount. I had looked around at other chain stores and was appalled at the price differential, value and price difference between the two. Furthermore, Emilie has continued to be helpful after the purchase. I am such a fan of Emilie that I created an account just to post a positive review for Mervis.
