I have been a very satisfied customer of May for over 20 plus years. I used to shop with May and John, when their store was in Potomac, Maryland. May's has quality jewelry. You will find no other jewelry store like May's. read more

As soon as we walked in we were greeted by an unfriendly gora guy with glasses. Obviously no smart seller is going to name a price and he asked us not to waste his time after we didn't...anyways the entire process took 3 minutes. Whatever you do DON'T sell your jewelry / gold here. Had a 4.2 gram 21k gold ring which in today's value would be $497 ($118 per gram). It had a few cubic zirconia diamonds, and that justified the guy offering us $280 at best. We had just come from another store Bullion Bank that offered $330 and after telling him this, he scoffed and told us there was no way he could match that, so we walked out. Such scammers! They will 100% low-ball you, DO not sell here. read more

There's a lot of stress involved when buying an engagement ring with lack of knowledge and unreal expectations leading the charge. When I came to May Jewelers I had already done my research but there is still the uncertainty of the unknown. Our sales person, Anh, took care of us, made us feel welcome, answered all of our questions, and more importantly made some really insightful suggestions that helped us find a ring that reflected everything we were looking for and some things we hadn't considered. Anh made the entire experience easy and fun. May Jewelers is my go to from now on. read more

Had a horrible experience here and was scammed. Came in to have them adjust the size on two gold bracelets, and I specifically asked that they don't cut off any gold from them, but just to add hoops so I can clip the bracelets tighter. Even with these instructions, and even after paying for both bracelets to be adjusted, they went ahead and cut off gold from one bracelet to make it smaller, kept that gold, and cut off hoops from the second bracelet and didn't even adjust the size of it. All in all they scammed me out of $80 for two bracelets adjustments when they only actually made one smaller, charged me for two, cut the gold off after I specifically asked them not to, and kept that gold. Terrible service and these people are truly scammers, I'd advise anyone thinking to come here for any reason not to and to consider any other jeweler in the area. read more

The jewelry store smelled bad and staff was not friendly. The staff was not helpful at all.

May Jewelers was recommended to me by a close friend when I told him I was planning to propose to my girlfriend, and they were beyond wonderful! Anh helped me pick out the perfect diamond and design the setting for my fiancée's engagement ring. I took a risk not asking my partner what she wanted, but she absolutely loved it. My fiancée and I then went back months later for our wedding bands, and again Anh was great. Highly recommend this family jeweler; it's a relaxed, friendly atmosphere (they even have their dog in the shop), and an all-around great experience. read more

May Jewelers is a wonderful jewelry store located in Vienna and is close proximity to Tyson's mall of a mile. Growing up in VA, visited this place many times with my family and also when buying exquisite jewelry pieces for special occasions. My wedding jewelry was most from here. Recently visited them and nothing has changed. They still provide the personalized attention and really listen with what you are looking for in jewelry pieces. They are extremely accommodating with creating your vision. So for example, you like earrings that do not have a matching bracelet, they can design a bracelet with your liking etc. My fav-Their diamond pieces are beyond gorgeous with good quality in grade/clarity. I know whenever I buy a next jewelry piece, it will be from May Jewelers. Too bad it's not my birthday or anniversary month, I'll patiently wait until then. :) read more

May Jewelers is an incredible jewelers store with impeccable merchandise and customer service. My family and I have been going to them for nearly 3 decades, including when they were in Maryland. Everything we have purchased from them has held up incredibly well and they have always stood by their products. I just picked up an item they repaired for me for free after 2 decades of use. I've referred many friends and family members to them over the years and they share my experience. John and his staff are one of a kind. read more

John always does a great job of taking care of our jewelry needs! Solid jewelry with a great upgrade / trade in policy.

Very patient and informative with the entire process of helping me find exactly what I was looking for. While I walked in knowing more than your average customer they took the time to give me every bit of information even a novice would need for a large purchase. I didn't feel rushed or pressured and even with multiple visits I was always received with a smile and positive attitude from all employees. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

Was just told my Bering watch would cost $35 to replace the battery. They just charged me $15 at Vienna Watch and Clock. Would have only cost $10 at John Alabaster but they are closed today. Yeah, don't come here and get grossly overcharged. Forget how reasonable the jewelers in town of Vienna are. Makes me wonder how overpriced the rest of their merchandise and services are.

If you're in the market to take a step forward in your relationship and get that engagement ring for your significant other, you should seriously consider stopping by May's. If you're like myself, you are planning on getting it online from Blue Nile or the many other online boutiques as I associate online shopping being more budget friendly. However I was very surprised that was not the case for me personally hence I highly recommend that you stop by and explore their options and prices before you get one online. I personally did lots of research about the 4C's of diamonds and had a pretty good idea what I wanted to get for my fiancé. Prior to stepping foot in May's, I had already visited 4-5 other jewelers and were turned off my their sales tactic/pressure and the extremely high premium price for a bad diamond (I1,I2,I3 inclusions with G colors and below). My experience with May's was very positive right from the beginning. I stopped by on a weekday without an appointment and was helped by Vicky right away. We briefly discussed what I was looking for and she immediately brought out a couple of GIA certified diamonds within my ideal 4C's and budget. Vicky is very knowledgeable about diamonds as she has been working in the industry for a couple of years now. She was able to provide me excellent recommendations and answer any questions I had about the diamonds. I ended up exchanging 20+ emails with Vicky and visited the store twice before ultimately deciding to purchase the perfect engagement ring from May's. The diamond was mounted on the setting within a couple of days and I received an email from Vicky that my ring was ready for pick up. Overall I honestly don't have anything but positive things to say about May's. Their customer service is beyond exceptional and you do not get pressured to make the purchase from them. I briefly met John during one of my appointments and he was very professional and nice. I will be highly recommending May's to all my family and friends and will be back to get the wedding bands. Thank you May's for making my ring shopping experience such a wonderful experience and a big thank you to Vicky!!!! Some random useful notes: + May's will price match their online competition granted the two items have similar characteristics + You can put a down a refundable deposit for a diamond to be taken off the sales floor if you are on the fence about a certain diamond + 30 day refund policy- starts from the day you pick up the ring from them + $200 discount if you pay in cash read more

I'm an ugly guy and I'm sure my wife only stayed wi me for the ring m. Thanks May Jewelers. Great price great customer service!

I purchased an engagement ring online (sight unseen in-person, except through photos and videos) from May Jewelers, which was recommended to me from a friend who had purchased from there previously. Anh helped me select a great diamond and band that was within my price range and looked amazing when I got it! I was looking at less-than-flawless diamonds and was worried about buying one without seeing it in person first, but Anh assured me it was eye clean and gorgeous, and she was right on! The band (halo, platinum) also ended up being a great value, even though I had been mostly focused on the actual diamond. When I went to get the ring independently appraised, the appraiser commented that the band looked very high quality. Buying diamonds online is super stressful (especially for less-than-flawless diamonds) and having somebody knowledgeable and honest like Anh in your corner was very helpful. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend May Jewelers! read more

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! read more

You know that feeling when you can't stop staring at your engagement ring? Well, thanks to Vicky and my fiancé for picking out the most beautiful diamond I've ever seen. Knowing my fiancé and his ability to do an extensive amount of research, I was not surprised that he chose to Goliath May Jewelers and Vicky. The diamond and the perfect setting that were chosen for me are absolutely breathtaking. Today, I went in for a minor resizing and had an absolutely amazing experience with the whole staff. If you are looking for the wow factor and a definite yes, May is the place for magic. read more

May Jewelers does have a fine selection of good and expensive jewelry. They do carry and extensive array of Indian jewelry - probably the biggest in the area (which keeps my wife happy). They do have a weird entry/ exit system tho - I almost feel like I am visiting Fort Knox. Can get busy many a times but the staff is friendly and helpful! read more

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. read more

Anh and John were very thoughtful and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Anh must have answered a thousand of my questions and pinpointed a diamond that fit all of the criteria I was looking for at a very reasonable price without much negotiation at all. When it comes to larger purchases I'm very skeptical and never once questioned the honesty / integrity of the product or customer service. I really appreciate my experience here and my fiancé absolutely loves the ring (see pics). We will definitely be customers for life, just as my family has been for years. read more

May Jewelers has been my family jeweler for the past 30 years. From simple chains to engagement rings, we have relied on May Jewelers for beautiful craftsmanship and quality pieces. I personally worked with Anh over the phone and in store and she is amazing! She helped me source a diamond, design my custom ring and never forced me to purchase something I didn't love. If you can't find what you are looking for, there is a good chance they can custom make it for you. I would recommend May Jewelers if you are looking for unique designs and quality jewelry. read more

May Jewelers are simply the best at what they do and a wonderful family business! Their customer service is warm, friendly and always very accommodating... the quality is always perfection and their jewelry is beautiful and unique. There is nothing they can't do. Our family has been purchasing jewelry from them for over 20 years and we have recommended many of our friends to them throughout the years. Anyone we have recommended has the same positive words to say about May Jewelers. John, Vincent and Anh are always on top of it, very reliable and trustworthy. My engagement ring and wedding band from May Jewelers are 10 years old and I can't think of another design I would rather have. Amazing quality, beautiful design and timeless. I still get compliments on my set. Most recently, we had another wonderful experience with May Jewelers... My husband lost his wedding ring and John made sure to get a replacement ring to us ASAP. It was sized, engraved, polished and overnighted to us so that we could have it this weekend. When we received the package, the ring came in a beautiful wooden box and was exactly like his original band they made 10 years ago. I highly recommend May Jewelers for all your jewelry needs! read more

I walked into this location totally out of the blue as I was returning home from Tyson's II mall for Christmas shopping. I was helped by a gentleman named Vinh, and he was amazing. They didn't have the exact cross that I wanted, so they designed, created and delivered the perfect cross for me. My wife was ecstatic and it was an amazing Christmas as a result. I will definitely go back again. read more

I had an excellent experience with May Jewelers and recommend them for all your jewelry needs. Vincent was great to work with from start to finish, as a helped me upgrade my wife's engagement ring to a new setting for our tenth anniversary. Vincent took the time to go through many different options, and we landed with the perfect choice. Vincent was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful throughout the entire process. The ring came out even better than I could have expected, my wife was absolutely thrilled with the result and I felt like I got a great deal as well, the ring is really something special. Highly recommend! read more

When it was time to spend my money, its important to trust the folks you are dealing with, especially in Jewelry. The incredible years of knowledge that this store has, makes the clients feel that they are in good hands when it comes to gold and diamonds. John's professionalism and leadership style has May Jewelers flagged as one of the best Jewelry stores in the Washington DC area, hands down. Its good to know that such a jewelry store can have so much empathy for their customers. Its no surprise why people recommend their friends and family to this store. Once you get to know these Masters in the jewelry industry, you will most likely feel a similar comfort that they have brought to myself and my family. Thank you May Jewelers, we will be back for our 5th Anniversary gift, for sure!! Shhhhh read more

Dear Anh, Thank you for working with Marco to design the perfect engagement ring. It is absolutely beautiful, I love every single thing about it and smile every time I look down at my hand! I am so grateful for all your time and patience (I know the 3-hour time difference was a challenge!) to create a yellow, sparkling, show-stopping ring! We will be in touch soon regarding wedding bands! Thank you again! Warmly, Ashley read more

I happened to check out May Jewelers after hearing some recommendations from friends. Vicky was absolutely wonderful to work with. She always took the time and care for us to feel like we could as many questions as we needed. Both my fiancée and I, have always felt at ease communicating with her. We will plan the future purchase of our wedding bands with Vicky. I can't say enough how much I love my ring! read more

My fiancée and I love the ring that May Jewelers designed for us! Anh worked closely with me to find the best diamond possible within my budget and we custom designed the exact ring I wanted. I highly recommend them for your future jewelry needs. I had never bought diamond jewelry when I first started looking into rings. I spoke with a few shops to get educated on the process, which is a long one. I felt indecisive with so many options, especially given the investment. Of all the shops I visited, I felt May had the best quality settings and they were able to get me the stone size I wanted at a price within my budget. I'm overjoyed with the final piece. It's amazing. read more

Never going there anymore. Very rude staff. No courtesy to even ask what the customer wants. Waited for 15 mins just looking around while a lady was just sitting there idle and did not even ask what we are looking for. Finally we got tired and asked if she can help. She said she doesn't work in that section. We had time constraint and had to buy a gift for our niece and so did not want to get out. Finally some one came and helped. Very indifferent behavior and absolutely no enthusiasm in her. NEVER EVER GOING THERE read more

I truly can't say enough good things about May Jewelers. Vicky was absolutely amazing to work with. She was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and quick to respond to a call or email (which were frequent from me) and helped guide me to the perfect diamond and setting for my fiancee's engagement ring. I shopped around at multiple large chain jewelry stores, other smaller local stores, direct brokers etc. and May's was by FAR the best quality and price. If you are in the market for an engagement ring (or any other piece) go see Vicky at May's! read more

I bought an engagement ring at May Jewelers and was so happy with the service, I reached out to see if they could make custom cufflinks for my groomsman. After discussing it with Anh, we were able to create the perfect cufflinks for all my buddies. I will be working with May Jewelers to create some additional cufflinks for myself very soon! read more

I feel as though they should treat every customer the same. Unfortunately if you look like your rich or talking about $20,000+ jewelery they treat you like royalty and give you all the attention. For us little people who do not have much money but would still like to purchase something maybe around $1000 they treat you like your garbage and poor they are racist and discriminate they do not treat you fairly. read more

Now that my brother has successfully proposed to his girlfriend, I present to you May Jewelers' 4 Cs of diamond buying: Culture: The first thing you notice is their extensive collection of ethnic jewelry. Don't be afraid to look around because they have all types of jewelry - something for everyone and for all occasions. Competitive prices: Actually, it's not even fair to call it competitive since no other place competes with their diamond prices. The first time we went, they gave us print outs of a few different diamonds' specs and the price they were offering. They encouraged him to continue shopping around but knew he would be back. After checking with other local, national chain, and online jewelers, he was back at May's a few weeks later. Customer service: We were helped by John, Vincent, and another young lady during our two trips there. All of them were friendly, exceptionally committed to their customers, and confident that they were the best at what they do. Consistency: When you go to May's, you realize that almost everyone in there is a return customer. The folks at May's were surprised that we weren't referred there since they get their work mostly from past customers. After having gone with my brother to a few different shops, May's has made me a convert as well. So, my Yelp friends, now you know where to get your diamond rings, Korean 1st birthday baby rings, fix your fancy watch, and learn the real 4 C's of diamond buying (and not my fake ones here). And just because I can, I present a bonus C: Congrats, Mike & Jen! Love you guys. read more

Beyond being given free diamonds, I'm not sure how I could've possibly had a better engagement ring shopping experience than the one I had at May over the past couple of months. Anh and John were both super friendly, responsive, and helpful. I continually bombarded Anh with e-mail questions, came in 3 times to look at rings and stones, and not once did she ever act as if I were a burden on her. Being in the Tysons area, I'm sure they deal with people with much higher budgets than mine, yet they made me feel like they wanted my business and did everything they could to make sure I had a great experience and purchased a ring from them. If you've convinced yourself that buying a ring from Blue Nile is the best deal you can get, I highly encourage you to go to May Jewelers and see what Anh and John can offer you. I ended up below budget, was able to customize my own ring, and got a final product that has impressed everyone who has seen it. Even after I purchased the ring, they were able to do same-day resizing. I look forward to bugging Anh some more when I come back to look at wedding bands! read more

This is a long overdue review of the GARBAGE we purchased from May jewelers. I am shocked this place has so many raving yelp reviews and we've heard so many referrals while we were in the store. My fiance and I purchased a platinum pave engagement setting around Christmas time. They had to special order the matching wedding band since they did not have it at the store. First trip: I stopped by to check on the wedding band status after two months has passed - I was told that they had miss placed the order ticket, so they will rush order one for me ready in about a week. Second trip: We went to pick up the wedding band #1 a few weeks later, and only to realize the band they had ordered for me does not fit flush against the engagement ring. I am not extremely picky, but if you were to spend ~$2500 on something so small, I expect the two to look like a set. John found a band they carried in the store that looked like it would be a perfect fit - only problem that it was 2 sizes too small. So he said give him another week, and he will resize it to my size. Third trip: Fast forward another week, wedding band #2 is ready. When I tried on the engagement and wedding bands together, the two fit perfectly flush. However, a whole new problem came up, the length of 3/4 paved diamonds on the bands did not match - the left side was too long and right side was too short. John says, no problem, give me another week, I will make you another band - leave your engagement ring, so we will make sure the two are perfect. Fourth trip: It is now the beginning of April - 4 months after we made the purchase, I finally picked up both of pieces. The fit and side diamonds matched perfectly - but the designs did not. The engagement ring is 3 sided pave, and wedding band #3 is only top side pave.. Not only that, I noticed a small diamond had fallen out on the engagement ring. John replaced the missing diamond free of charge. At this point, I am so sick of jewelry stores - I took both pieces home - mismatched or not - I don't want to shop anymore. TRIP NUMBER FIVE: Today I noticed another tiny diamond had fallen out from the engagement ring - I have had it with this garbage. I have never given a store so many opportunities to keep my business. This is the straw that broke the camel's back.. I have wore the ring for 4 months, and two small diamonds had fallen out already.. I can't imagine what it would be like after a few years.. all 48 would be missing I bet. I returned both pieces and got all my $$ minus mounting fee... I honestly do not feel like I should even let them keep the $100... they have wasted ~ 7 hours of my life, 5 gallons of gas and caused unnecessary stress ... I should be charging them. I am not saying the staff isn't nice - I am not saying they haven't tried to make it work. I am just frustrated and annoyed with the whole experience - from multiple trips back to the store to the POOR craftsmanship of their product. I will NEVER refer anyone or set a foot in this place again... read more

My Fiance and I are SO glad that we discovered May Jewelers thanks to the amazing reviews on Yelp. Yelpers did not disappoint!!! They are by far the best value and best prices that you will find in our area. The fiance went to several Jewelry stores in our area and even looked online at Blue Nile but never found a better deal or as beautiful of a diamond than he did at Mays. We ended up ordering both the engagement ring and our wedding bands from them and Vicky was amazing through the entire process. My fiance ended up custom making my engagement ring right down to every detail of the setting and Vicky was informative, patient, knowledgeable and communicative every step of the way. He said it even came in way earlier than the estimate that he was given. I am in LOVE with how it turned out and can't wait to wear it every day for the rest of my life!!! I am extremely picky when it comes to jewelry and I always ask TONS of questions. Despite my multiple trips to the store and emails to Vicky - she was always super friendly, patient, and professional. She never pressured me and always gave opinions based on what looked best on my finger, as opposed to which option was most expensive like a typical sales person might do. She genuinely cares about the outcome! I recently lost some weight and Vicky noticed that my ring was loose so she immediately got a bump put on it so that it now fits perfectly. She has great attention to detail and offers her opinions but respects our final decisions. This is exactly how a buyers experience SHOULD be! If you are looking for a quality diamond, save time and gas and just go straight to Mays :) *Tip* It gets crowded on weekends so I definitely recommend coming on a weekday if you can *Tip* Make sure both doors are completely closed and the green light is lit before attempting to walk in or you WILL walk into the door :) *Tip* Try not to show up with a full bladder bc the restrooms are kind of a long walk and you have to walk outside and around the building to find it read more

I'm surprised this place has so many good reviews. I was in there today and waited 15 minutes - I did not receive even one slight nod of acknowledgement during that time. The sales staff was helping other customers, but there were several opportunities (such as when the client was looking at a catalog or on their phone) when the staff could have said "I'll be right with you." Or they could have at least made eye contact with me. No one glanced my way as I walked to the door to leave. I was kind of playing chicken with them, thinking they'd say "I'm sorry" or something, but nothing. A staff member eating his lunch at the end of one of the counters did make some kind of noise, but I think it was meant for the (very cute) white dog who had popped his head out of the office. The dog made eye contact with me. The sales staff did not. For a moment, I worried that I might be a ghost who hasn't yet realized she died (dogs see ghosts, right?). But I was honked at by an angry motorist on the way out of the parking lot, and you are now reading this review -- so I must be alive. I notice that other reviews do mention making an appointment with the staff here. Perhaps you need an appointment to talk in depth to a member of the sales staff, but you shouldn't need one to just be acknowledged. I would not have had a problem if someone said "Do you have an appointment" -- that way I could call later to set one up if they didn't have time to schedule one for me at that moment. read more

Through a referral from multiple friends, I stopped by May Jewelers to pick up my wedding bands. I worked exclusively with Vincent, who I found very easy to work with, did a great job explaining market pricing and trends, and was very flexible in the service he provided to me. With smiths on site, May Jewelers is able to provide custom gold or platinum work for quite a steal. The only thing I'd have to warn you is, their in-stock merchandise tends to appeal to a more ethnic crowd (having overly shiny gold all over the place, as opposed to 10k or 14k gold). Don't let it fool you, as they still carry excellent stock, and many diamonds, settings, and styles that will appeal to more contemporary and modern shoppers. read more
