I recently inherited my beloved aunt's wedding ring (who passed in 2020) from my incredible mom (who passed in 2021). My dad brought it to me the weekend before Thanksgiving and we were on a mission to find a local jeweler to trust with resizing it. Rahul and Isabelle were patient and more than understanding when my dad wanted to do more research before leaving our special ring behind. Upon reading his other yelp reviews, and their professionalism when dealing with us the first time, we decided Atlantic Gems was the jeweler to trust. Even with the Thanksgiving holiday, I received the ring back in just a little over a week, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I will definitely be back for all jewelry repair, resetting and resizing needs for years to come. Not only do I give them 5 stars, but so does my dad (a tough customer in Michigan)! read more

Very attentive and detailed. I didn't think they would be able to help with my ring repair but they did.

I have used Atlantic Gems a couple times to make repairs to my wedding bands. Rahul is knowledgeable and professional. I like supporting a smaller business that provides amazing service. Rahul is always honest and upfront about what options I have (i.e. repair one diamond or replace more that may come loose later). He doesn't upsell or push, which is refreshing. read more

Their work is superior. I have had several pieces of jewelry repaired by them. Always friendly and get the work done in a reasonable amount of time. read more

Very nice proprietor, he is knowledgeable about his products and did a beautiful job with some items we had. Very pleased!

I highly recommend Rahul and Atlantic Gems. The diamond in my engagement ring had become slightly loose, and I needed a good jeweler who I could trust. Based on reviews, I took it to Rahul. The result is spectacular. He showed me how the prongs had worn down over time and recommended that I replace the part of the ring that holds the diamond. I could not be happier with the result -- my ring looks like it did when it was new! Rahul took over the shop from his dad, and his mom still does crucial administrative work for the shop. I love supporting local, family-owned businesses. I also just really like Rahul -- he's genuine and knowledgeable. I'm so glad I now have a go-to jeweler who I can trust near me. Don't hesitate -- you are in good hands! read more

Really incredible customer service from Rahul, he couldn't be a nicer guy but I also felt his professional advice was candid and he wasn't trying to sell me anything I didn't need, or an end product I wouldn't be happy with. I bought a 5-diamond wedding band online and took it to Atlantic Gems for resizing. He wound up advising me to remove one stone to better fit the style to my small hands and also did the resizing. The end result looked like the ring had been intentionally designed that way. I definitely recommend Atlantic Gems for your jewelry repair/resizing/design needs. read more

Such a pleasure to work with Rahul and staff at ATLANTIC GEMS! If I have any questions, they immediately respond and are so helpful! THANK YOU THANK you!! read more

Rahul was great to deal with. He communicated quickly and provided a beautiful design for our engagement ring. The finished product was even more beautiful in person! read more

I had Atlantic Gems set a stone for me and they did a fantastic job! Helpful service, found exactly the kind of setting I was looking for. Highly recommended. Would definitely come to Atlantic Gems again. read more

The premises are beautiful and the staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. It's impossible to walk out empty handed!

Since my family jeweler closed his shop and retired, I have been on the hunt for a suitable replacement. I hate retail jewelry stores with their inferior products and shoddy work. I wanted someone who would remember my name, who had the creative vision to craft unique pieces if I requested them, and who would help make sure my jewelry would last me for many years to come, not just try to push new inventory on me. I'm so glad I found Rahul and his shop. I brought in a couple of pieces for a quote. I had a sterling silver and larimar ring that needed to be adjusted, a silver and opal ring that also needed repair, a white gold and diamond ring that was missing a stone, a pink sapphire and diamond ring that my previous jeweler made for me which needed repair, as well as one of my grandmother's wedding rings which also needed to be repaired. Rahul offered suggestions for each piece (including the recommendation that I not get my opal ring repaired since the opals were synthetic and would cost more to cut/replace than the ring was worth) and did not pressure me to make any decisions. He gave me plenty of time to decide what was best for me. I trusted his judgment and decided to go with most of the restorative recommendations he provided. When he returned my jewelry I was absolutely thrilled! My rings looked better than they did when I first purchased them. And my grandmother's ring... my goodness. He restored it to a brilliance that it probably hasn't had since her wedding day (long before I was born) She's been gone for over 20 years now and having that little piece of her means so much to me. I'm sure she'd be as pleased as I am with the finished product. I've read some great things from other Yelpers about his work creating one-of-a-kind pieces. I have some scrap gold that I want turn into something special, so I look forward to doing business with him again. read more

They provide amazing quality and great customer service. Treat customers like family and remember you every visit!

Rahul and his team are true professionals. If you have something in mind that you would like designed for you, Atlantic Gems is the place to go! read more

I cannot recommend Rahul and the rest of the team at Atlantic Gems highly enough. I had some old family rings that I wanted to convert into a new engagement ring but I had absolutely no idea what I was doing or looking for in a ring. Rahul was extremely kind, patient, and helpful. We went through several different possibilities and finally landed on something that came out perfect. He always responded to me quickly and professionally, worked within my budget, and produced a piece of real brilliance. If you are looking for someone who will help you find the perfect piece of jewelry at the right price and with friendly help along the way, Rahul is your person. read more

Excellent service on getting my ring resized. The process was carefully explained to me and I was given options. Staff are helpful and friendly and Covid precautions are conscientiously observed, read more

Rahul gives fabulous ideas and his attention to detail to an idea that you give almost always is better than what you imagine. My husband bought my engagement ring as well as two wedding bands from them - this store will always be special :-) read more

Atlantic Gems - My rings :) - Jewelry Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

I had an anklet that I thought needed a new lobster claw. I dropped by, found parking right outside, walked in and the owner took a look, got his pliers and just popped the spring back in place. nothing else was needed. one minute later walked out with my jewelry good as new. I had my engagement ring reworked into a new ring and necklace and still wear them all the tine. They do great work at a fair price and are so nice to work with. You must stop by. they also have the best selection of beautiful beads. I have purchased quartz beads there and still love them. the quality is outstanding. Best neighborhood jeweler! read more

The people at Atlantic Gems gave me a quote right away when I messaged on Yelp and were responsive, professional, kind, and went above and beyond through the whole process of re-tipping and repairing my old ring. I will definitely go back and recommend them to anyone who has any needs for repair or working with their jewelry. It's hard to trust someone with an old heirloom, but I was not disappointed! read more

Always makes you feel like family. Honest and very reasonable. Only place I will ever buy jewelry from.

This is our family's new go-to jewelry shop. Rahul is very knowledgable and a pleasure to work with. I had a problem with my watch and thought it was using the battery too fast. Rahul kept the watch for several weeks to monitor it and found that the dial had just been a tiny bit pulled-out and that there was nothing wrong with the watch at all. When I went to pick the watch up, he had changed the battery and didn't even charge me for his service. If you're looking for an honest, attentive, and knowledgeable local jeweler don't hesitate to go to Atlantic Gems! read more

I took my engagement ring here to get the stone fixed. By no means am I a gem expert so you can imagine how I much I learned here! Rahul was a consummate professional and showed me the chips in my ring and showed me different stones, explaining the differences along the way. Never did he push a more expensive stone but rather had me see each stone, compare them under the little lens, and taught me about each one. My ring was ready in a few days and I am the happiest person ever. I highly recommend this business, as it is a rare gem indeed! They are an established business and the personal attention paired with the plethora of knowledge made me feel comfortable and 100% pleased customer. read more

Went in to get my ring resized and the staff were so helpful! The woman i spoke to was very patient - I don't know a lot about jewelry and she took her time to answer all my questions, even the most basic ones. She and her son were working at the time and were very friendly and welcoming. read more

I needed to purchase an engagement ring and reached out to several local jewelers in order to find the best match for my now fiancee. We are not big fans of the diamond industry, so I was looking for something in moissanite. Rahul was extremely helpful and resourceful in this regard and was able to create a custom ring that perfectly fit the (admittedly vague) specifications I provided. My fiancee and I are very pleased with how the ring turned out, and I can see myself returning to Rahul's store for future gifts. To reiterate what others have already said, the customer service is great, but I think what really made the experience exceptional is that I did not feel like I was being sold on anything; just listened to, educated, and assisted. Thanks, Rahul! read more

Beading. For some it's a hobby, for some a business, for some an obsession. The folks who own and run Atlantic Gems certainly love what they do. It might be an obsession, I'll leave that as an exercise to the reader. The wife loves this stuff. I go along for the ride. Their hours are a bit odd - they close at 1pm on Saturday...ostensibly to handle inventory and fulfill the huge number of online orders they get. The guy who runs the place knows his stuff, and was exceptional at keeping tabs on all of his customers at almost the same time, which is important since a lot of the product is in glass cases and needs to be pulled out as requested. It's a family owned business, and everyone helps out. The selection, while it is deep in some areas, is shallow in others. The store is somewhat small, and space considerations probably dictate space allocation more than individual choice. This isn't a place to go for tools, but for crystal beads (swarovski), this place is a gold mine. As mentioned in the other bead review, people spend a looooot of money here, and amazingly quickly. Silver is weighed by the gram, and lo and behold, at 1KG, it gets a little cheaper (but not much). 1KG of silver is a lot when you are working with beads. Or at least it should be. Really, though, when it's on the scale, it looks like it should be so much more. Parking sucks. Use the parking garage a block away to avoid getting towed. It's right across from the post office. Worth the trip. read more

If you're looking to impress your significant other by giving her something unique this is the place to go. I was looking for an engagement ring, my girl loves the color purple and I wanted a ring with an amethyst stone, and diamonds of course. The staff assisted during the entire process, I chose the amethyst stones, the diamonds, the design and engraving. The final product was awesome, I will definitely come back.... read more

Atlantic Gems - Jewelry Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

What a great little store! This is a small, family-owned jeweler/bead store. Don't let the size fool you--they have a wide selection of semi-precious and precious gemstones, both beads and unset stones. They also have the BEST selection of Swarovski you will find in the area, and offer a Swarovski loyalty card, which I'm certain I will fill quickly. They also do custom jewelry work and jewelry repair. The family is very nice and customer oriented. They have become my new "go to" source for jewelry making as they also carry professional jewelry tools. If you are serious about jewelry making or just want some higher quality beads for yourself, give them a try. read more

Raul was really helpful in repairing my favorite fine jewelry pieces. Time and again, he delivers on service & price. There's a reason I've been going here for years. read more

I had managed to damage a favorite ring, resigning myself to having to replace it. Lo and behold, I found Atlantic Gems and they truly are. My ring was repaired, the cost was less that first quoted and done in a fair amount of time. read more

Wow. I am so happy that I hired Atlantic Gems to re-make my wedding band. They do absolutely impeccable work. And Rahul is just about the nicest human being you will come in contact with with. He gave me outstanding customer service. I am now a loyal customer. I strongly endorse Atlantic Gems. read more

As many others have mentioned, the customer service here is excellent. I brought in my engagement ring to be resized. Rahul happily inspected it, discussed the potential for breakage during resizing due to it being made of palladium, and provided a quote a few days later with both potential costs of a clean resize and a break. After mentioning that I was going out of town, he turned around the sizing faster than expected and for a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend Atlantic Gems and will return for any needs in the future. read more

I rarely write Yelp reviews, but for Rahul, I have to. He's an incredible and honest jeweler. I bought my wife's ring from him, and he went above and beyond to meet the needs of her ring. I will use Rahul for all my jewelry needs, and highly recommend him to anyone. read more

Buying an engagement ring is a big life decision. You only get to do it once. You only get one life to live, live it well, if you're going to get a an engagement ring, you need to get to get it from Atlantic Gems. What can I say about Rahul that hasn't been said already. I had the best experience anyone can have while buying an engagement ring for my fiancée. Rahul made me feel confident and comfortable with my decision. He did not pressure me into buying anything I wasn't ready to buy. He was like that big brother who's been there and is there to tell you what to avoid to make the best out of this once in a lifetime occasion. Rahul is empathetic, kind and very helpful. If you're going to get a ring, get it from Atlantic Gem! read more

I bought my fiancee's engagement ring from Atlantic Gems in January. We went ring shopping together in December and visited 6 stores in the Silver Spring / Bethesda, / Chevy Chase / Rockville area before choosing which store to go with. Rahul was great throughout the entire process and I was impressed by his customer service. We wanted a ring with a main center diamond in the center, some smaller diamonds on the band, and a yellow gold band. Rahul was able to customize a ring for us and finish the ring in just under 2 weeks. I also thought that the value was great, as we got a high-quality ring at a less expensive price than similar stores were offering. When I went to pick up the final ring, it looked even better than I imagined. Even though my fiancee was involved in much of the process, when I proposed a month later, she was amazed at how beautiful the ring turned out and loved it! We plan to visit Rahul again this summer to make our wedding bands. read more

I worked with Rahul to have a custom engagement ring made for my fiance and I can't say enough good things about working with him. At every step in the process Rahul was timely, responsive, attentive and an overall pleasure to work with. He patiently answered all of my questions and provided amazing insight to the project. He helped me with the design of the ring and how best to incorporate the elements I was thinking of. He was extremely straight forward and fair in designing the ring, giving me the details I needed to make the best decision. He also worked with me to find the best overall diamond, taking the characteristics I was looking for and doing his own research to find the best possible stone to match. And the prices he gave me were better then anywhere else. My fiance absolutely loves the ring and can't stop looking at. Would recommend Atlantic Gems to everyone and anyone. read more

Got an engagement ring here. Hopefully the marriage is just as good as the service here. The owner is super nice and very attentive. I think it's a family owned business and the place isn't like a typical jewelry store. They don't have a major store front and the only way to tell you're at the right place is a sign on the front door. The guy was very knowledgeable and walked me through what to look for. I'm going to be using him to get our wedding bands as well. The store is narrow and has a lot of beads. Bead hobbyists would love the place. That is a world I will never know so I can't really comment on that aspect. There's just a lot of beads everywhere in the store. read more

Top service. Friendly family-owned, located in Silver Spring since 1982. Second generation of ownership and operation. Work on jewelry repair was promised for one week away. It was completed in half that time and everything was perfect. I look forward to returning to this store. read more

Atlantic Gems, Inc just repaired my wife's pearl necklace on time and for a reasonable price. The repair seems perfect. Great online reviews led me to Atlantic Gems. It was an excellent experience from my first impression when I went to get an estimate -- to when I picked up the finished repair. read more

I came here per Yelp recommendations to have a diamond ring repaired after I lost a stone in the band. I received immediate and friendly attention upon entering the store, clear communication about what work would be done on the ring in a timely manner, and a chance to approve the work before it started to make sure I was okay with the price, which was very reasonable. Rahul not only replaced the missing stone (and matched it so well I can't tell which one is new!) but also identified several other prongs in need of retipping (not surprising given the ring was more than 30 years old). He also moved one of the diamonds over to improve the overall aesthetic and reshaped the ring for no charge. The ring took about 1 week to be repaired, just as I was promised. I was very happy with my experience here and would feel very comfortable returning here for further jewelry repairs in the future. read more
