    Thank you Ahn!
    Jay T.

    Friends...the wait is over. I'm the type of person who does about 3 weeks worth of research before I buy a set of towels, so you better believe I was doing my homework before I bought a diamond. Let's just say understanding the 4 C's barely scratched the surface of making me feel comfortable. I spent the better part of 8 months learning the entire diamond industry, how wholesaling and trading works, where cutting and sourcing is done, margins on every level from the miners to the retailers. I visited multiple stores in DC, Maryland, and Virginia -- every reputable online retailer (James Allen, Ritani, Blue Nile) and I can say with certainty May Jewelers is the best VALUE. I can tell you that, their willingness to price match online can show you that, but if you're anything like me you won't believe that until you see it for yourself. Value in the sense of not only the best price and highest quality -- but also in the sense of unparalleled customer service. I kid you not when I say Ahn and I exchanged over 50 emails going back and forth about different diamonds, prices, and GIA certificates. We (my parents and I) visited the store three separate occasions, twice we spent over 2 hours there. Her and Vincent treated us like family, warmly welcoming us and displaying a level of patience I never thought possible. Doing so much research quickly leads to paralysis by analysis but Ahn gently guided me towards making the perfect choice. Bottom line: Ahn and Vincent are not sales people who will push you to make a quick decision. They genuinely care about your experience and understand how significant of a buying experience this is. They will take their time with you, and you will see that they truly do have the best VALUE in the DMV area. Save yourself the months and months of research, and just take my word for it - IF you want to get the best diamond in your budget, IF you want your girlfriend to transform into the happiest fiancé , IF you want a relaxed, thoughtful, peace of mind buying experience - this is the place for you. Just ask for Ahn.

    I can't say enough good things about May Jewelers!! My now fiancé and I walked into the store in November and she wasn't exactly sure what style of ring she wanted. Anh took the time to walk us through everything and we left feeling much more confident. Over the next few weeks and months I was in constant contact with Anh and made multiple trips to the store in Tysons Corner. Every visit, Anh took the time to walk me through the differences of multiple diamonds until we finally narrowed it down to the one! Even after choosing the diamond, band, and setting, I wanted to look at everything one more time before making the absolute final decision. Anh was more than happy to show me all of my options one last time and made me feel so much more confident in my purchase. I was thrilled with how the ring turned out and my fiancé was even more excited!!! We will be using May Jewelers for many years to come and any time someone asks for a recommendation I will send them straight to May Jewelers!!

    I found this place on Yelp, so here I've returned to agree with nearly everyone else, May Jewelers rocks! After a sad experience at Charleston Alexander, I was resigned to buying an engagement ring online until seeing comparable prices at May's. I stopped by one Tuesday lunch and met Vincent who saw me through the rest of the way. He showed exactly the setting I asked for (1/2 pave halo) and set it aside with a $100 deposit. Next, we talked diamonds and showed me the cushion cuts he had on hand. None were perfect, so he ordered a few he had on his website (mayjewelers.com) which showed up a few days later. All three of these new diamonds were good, so I picked the best one and was all set. No two diamonds are the same, and Vincent went the extra step to show me more details about each one. He took a couple outside so I could see them in natural sunlight. We got them under the loupe for a better look and then even under a microscope so I could verify the serial number. I took a couple days to think it all over one last time, and Vincent held onto the ring and diamond together under the $100 refundable deposit. He even went ahead and had the diamond set so I could see the finished ring before purchase. Finally, if you have an address out of VA state (I live in MD), he can ship you the ring to avoid the 5% sales tax (!) an advantage of online sales. As I mentioned, the family business has their workshop on the premises, and their turnaround time is remarkable. After proposing, I took the soon-to-be to the store for final (no charge) fitting taking the ring from a 5.5 to a 4.75. They only needed about an hour. Corporate places ship their rings off someplace for fittings, so they might need a week or two (?). Oh, yeah, finally she LOVES it and can't stop looking at the ring and smiling! Thank you!

    EXCELLENT PRICE AND SERVICES, HIGH-QUALITY DIAMONDS I recently purchased a gorgeous diamond ring from May Jewelers on a referral of my friend. I am very impressed with May Jewelers' service and inventory. The Tyson store has a very large selection of beautiful engagement rings and high-quality diamonds. The prices are very reasonable. The owner, John Phat Nguyen, is an honest and helpful person. He patiently worked with me to find the diamond that fit my taste and budget and he answered all the questions that I had. He also gave me a copy of my GIA diamond certificate and let me compare the price to big diamond stores such as Blue Nile and Tiffany's. No one could compete on price and quality. The ring was perfect. I get many compliments about it every day. (See attached pictures) I am very satisfied with the value and service that John and his staff provided. I feel very confident and trustful when buying jewelry at May Jewelers. There is never any pressure, or hassling. The team really takes its time and has patience with the customer. I also contacted an independent appraiser, Nina Bogatyr, GIA Senior Member NAJA to look at the diamond and she said that I got a very high-quality diamond at an excellent price. I recommend May Jewelers to anyone who is looking for a diamond engagement ring, trading and upgrading the diamond. You will feel good about your purchase as the initial glow will continue to shine brightly over and over again.

Watch collecting is a very male dominated hobby so I have had good and bad experiences. I have to say this shop is Incredible! They provide exceptional quality and care and really talk to me like a human without "mansplaining." They have an amazing selection of jewelry as well. For a watch battery they might be able to take care of you right away. I would highly recommend to anyone who needs watch services! I'm bringing all of my friends here for their expert services!

When I got engaged and wanted to transform some additional jewels into a necklace, I immediately thought of him. Mory collaborated with me on the design, providing thoughtful recommendations that truly prioritized my vision without any pressure to upsell. You can tell he takes immense pride in his work. When he called to tell me my necklace was ready, I couldn't contain my excitement, I'm not sure who was more thrilled, him or me! Mory even went above and beyond: one of my older, cracked jewels couldn't be used, but he took the time to find a stunning emerald replacement for me. I cannot recommend Mory enough as a jeweler. With years of experience and a strong connection to the local community, he is the perfect choice if you're looking for exquisite jewelry or need someone creative to design a piece from your own stones. Mory at Real Jewelers is truly exceptional!
