Princess Jewelers

ecently, we worked with Sitha, while also chatting with Lim. They are truly genuine and wonderful people! Over the years, we have purchased single diamonds, wedding rings, tennis bracelets, diamond necklaces, diamond earrings and a diamond anniversary band. Most recently, we upsized my wife's engagement diamond, and added two diamond eternity bands. The diamonds are always GIA-certified, and the settings are always beautiful. Princess Jewelers always has expert craftsmen on site (even on Saturday), so they can ALWAYS set diamonds or repair/clean jewelry while you wait. Nothing is ever "sent out". After 19 years of marriage, my wedding ring (purchased from Princess Jewelers, of course) had grown too tight for my finger, and I found that I could no longer remove it (big knuckles). So, we decided that it was time for me to upgrade my wedding ring. I had been looking on the Internet at different men's diamond ring designs (I'd never buy on the Internet - just looked), and settled on something that I liked a lot. 14K gold with channel-set diamonds all the way around (eternity ring). I put a photo onto my iPad, and off to Princess Jewelers we went. While there, on a Saturday, we first upsized my wife's diamond, trading-in the old one, and she picked out a new setting. The craftsmen placed the diamond in the new setting while we browsed and chatted, and it was beautiful. We also asked for two diamond eternity rings to go on either side of the diamond ring, which Sitha designed for us. I then had the craftsmen cut off my wedding ring, and asked if they could please "reassemble" it, just to have as a keepsake. I showed Sitha the picture of the mens gold and diamond eternity wedding band that I brought, and we looked at some similar items they had there, just so she could get an idea of my likes and dislikes. Sitha suggested 14K gold, with a strip of platinum on either side of the diamond channel, and 24 channel-set diamonds. These rings take a little time to construct, obviously, so we headed home, secure and happy in our purchase. About a week and a half later, we received my wife's two new diamond eternity rings and my diamond eternity wedding band. They are all truly beautiful, as we knew they would be. Even now, a month later, we are still thrilled whenever we look at our beautiful jewelry from Princess Jewelers. I look at my wedding ring as I write this, and it is absolutely gorgeous. Long story short, don't waste your time looking for jewelry on the Internet, as you'll be disappointed (check the company names at the Better Business Bureau if you don't believe me). I also suggest that you don't waste your time shopping at jewelry chains, where you will meet a different salesperson on EVERY visit. If you want to buy fine jewelry, including custom-made pieces, at reasonable prices, with outstanding service, from a jewelry store still owned and staffed by the same family that owned and staffed it in 1997, visit Princess Jewelers in Vienna, VA. You will not be disappointed! After 20 years, Princess Jewelers still thrills me with their work.

eds, made wonderful suggestions, and I broke out into happy tears when I saw the final product. I will never go to another jeweler. These people are wonderful and I HIGHLY recommend them.
