    The best in the area

    My now-husband and I looked for engagement rings together, and had fine/okay experiences at a few other local spots... and then we went to see Paul at Ascot Diamonds. Our experience was phenomenal. He was thorough, warm, and easy to work with, and he helped my husband design an absolutely gorgeous, unique engagement ring that was exactly what I wanted. It was a no-brainer to return to Paul and Ascot to get our wedding bands, and again, Paul helped us design exactly what we both wanted and they were ready several weeks ahead of schedule. Photos of the rings can be seen here: https://rachelehphotography.com/2020/09/03/late-summer-tranquility-farm-wedding/

    Can't recommend highly enough!

    Sarah, thank you for your kind words. We are truly grateful to have you as one of our clients. Thank you for sharing your experience with Ascot. We appreciate it.
    Congratulations !
    Best,

    Exquisite and Knowledgable

    We loved our experience at Ascot Diamonds. Paul Jacobs was so informative, easy to work with and we love our rings. We shopped at quite a few stores shopping for rings, but once we went to see Paul, no one else compared. He helps us make a data driven decision, and applied 0 pressure. He was super transparent, and I was able to get a very delicate band. My husband also got my wedding present earrings from Paul. Ascot will be our go to for life!

    Ascot Diamonds Washington DC's reply:

    Thank you for your really kind words Ileana!. We are grateful to have you as one of our clients.
    Kind regards,
    Paul

    Exceptional Experience at Ascot Diamonds

    My experience with Ascot Diamonds exceeded all expectations. I appreciate that their approach is based around understanding your specifications and budget, advising what to look for in a diamond to maximize your budget, and then finding the stone that is right for you. It was a pleasure to work with Madison, who was responsive and provided exceptional service from start to finish. She made the process of selecting a diamond pressure-free and was patient in incorporating my comments on multiple iterations of the custom engagement ring design. When delivery was delayed (no fault of Ascot), Madison went above and beyond to personally meet the courier and then get the ring to me just hours before my international flight. As for the ring itself, it was perfect.

    My fiancé and I were again impressed with the service and product when we returned for our wedding rings. I highly recommend Ascot Diamonds and Madison.

    Thank you so much Ryan for your kind review. I really enjoyed working with you during this important purchase. Congratulations!
    Kind regards,
    Madison

    Great experience!

    My fiancé had got my engagement ring here, which was perfect so we decided to get our wedding bands at Ascot as well. I was nervous going in because I didn’t want to feel pressured to get something I wasn’t in love with. Madison helped us and she did not pressure us at all. We picked what we liked and she told us to just email her to place the order whenever we were ready. She also helped us when my husband had the date engraved in his ring when we changed the date due to Covid. They have great customer service!

    Great, knowledgeable service

    My husband got my engagement ring from them and Paul did a great job of helping him pick it out, it is stunning! Very knowledgeable sellers, great service, I still go get it cleaned there once a month for free

    Educational and easy

    The team at Ascot was a pleasure to work with. They took the time to educate me on the various trade offs to buying a diamond and how to balance them to get what I wanted while staying within my budget. I designed a custom engagement ring for my now-wife and it was overall a very easy process (she loved the ring!). They also have a wide, high-quality selection of pieces. I would highly recommend them.

    Ascot Diamonds Washington DC's reply:

    Thank you Alexandra. We appreciate your kind words. We also enjoyed working with you. The ring is beautiful!
    congratulations,

    lovely wedding bands

    Ascost diamonds made my engagement ring for my husband when he was getting ready to propose, so naturally we went back there to get our wedding rings from them. Both of our bands turned out so beautifully. They were especially flexible on my wedding band since I had more of a restricted budget but a very specific style in mind and they made it work. Highly recommend them for wedding jewelry needs.

    Ascot Diamonds Washington DC's reply:

    Thank you Kim! We loved working with you. Your engagement ring and wedding band are truly gorgeous.
    Thanks again from all our team.

    Cannot say enough good things about Ascot! We worked with Paul to design my engagement ring and he was incredibly helpful. We knew we were getting great service when he told us the bigger sized diamond wasn't worth the high increase in price because it wouldn't even be noticeably bigger. My fiance went in with no knowledge of diamonds and came out a wealth of information.

    We also really appreciated Paul's flexibility. While the store has more limited hours, he was willing to meet with us early or late to accommodate our work schedules. They even helped my fiance with a little deception to convince me that my ring wasn't ready yet so the proposal would be a surprise. In every way, above and beyond!

    We will certainly be going back to get my wedding band! Highly recommend for anyone ring shopping.

    My fiance and I worked with Tim to design my engagement ring and had a phenomenal experience. I only met with Tim and my fiance once to pick out the band and look at diamond options, and he was so helpful in explaining the differences between the properties and grading systems. We were interested in a lab grown diamond(which we could only find at Ascot in this area) and he showed us multiple lab grown diamonds to compare to traditional diamonds so we could eventually determine we wanted the lab grown to get a larger diamond for a lesser price. He was very patient and met with us for nearly 90 minutes on a Friday evening. He was in constant contact, so I've heard, with my then-boyfriend about the process and details and our budget. He never tried to upsell anything and worked within our budget guidelines producing for us an extremely superior product that has wowed everyone who has seen it. We will be returning to him to design our wedding bands for our ceremony in the summer, and I'd highly recommend Ascot Diamonds for any type of jewelry need.

    Tim and his team at Ascot Diamonds are truly as good as they get! We were referred there by a few friends of ours and couldn't be happier we received this suggestion. This was our first time looking for rings and Tim made the process relaxing, fun and most importantly, comfortable. He sat with us for hours on multiple days explaining different aspects of our ring (who knew there was so much to know about diamonds and different types of gold!) and throughout the entire process was incredibly honest about what looks good and what was right for us. In addition, he was so flexible with appointments - we could go before work, after work, on the weekends ... he always made himself available!

    Aside from being incredibly knowledgeable and professional, Tim was so personable and thoughtful. My fiance and I got engaged a few weeks before Thanksgiving and had inherited a stone, so we went to Tim right away to pick out a ring and I told him from the beginning that it was SO important to me to have the stone in time for when I visit my family for the holiday. And of course, Tim made it happen. Being able to share the ring with my family was so meaningful and special, and it was all made possible by Tim.

    We're looking forward to going back to Ascot and visiting Tim for our wedding bands!

    Ascot Diamonds is wonderful. I wanted a diamond wedding band that exactly matched my engagement ring, but the designer didn't have one available. Ascot Diamonds was willing to custom make a band for me that is the perfect width, diamond quality, and metal to look like a matched set with my engagement ring. The price was also very good compared to some other stores we met with. I would absolutely return to Ascot Diamonds!

    A few months back my fiance and I were looking for an engagement ring. We check several jewelry places, but we were not really satisfied. We stopped by Ascot Diamonds Arlington not knowing what to expect. What we found were: a warm welcome, excellent professional service, great detailed lessons about diamond and tons of flexibility. Paul Jacobs assisted us. He spent almost an hour explaining the types of diamonds, the cuts, quality and etc. We both felt that we became experts. Paul was an excellent listener and gave us genuine advice. At the end we got our dream ring. We already recommended Ascot Diamonds to all our family and friends.

    Paul was absolutely amazing to work with! He not only took the time to find the perfect diamond, but found it at a great price, as designed the custom band of my fiancé 's dreams! I could my ask for a better jeweler and will definitely be returning for our bands.

    Working with Tim was seamless , easy and overall a great experience. He totally got our vision for a custom ring, worked with us on price, and it never felt "salesy". I have also had my ring resized here and it was a quick turn around time.

    Me and my husband just got married on 9/12/15 and got our wedding bands at Ascot Diamonds. We worked with Tim and he was phenomenal! It was a lot of fun looking at different options and we never felt any pressure at all. Tim even worked and found me a lower cost than what he was originally expecting--something you don't have too often when planning a wedding! I have recommended numerous people to Ascot and we will continue to use them as our jeweler for years to come. Thanks so much!!

    Best Jeweler Ever

    We came across Jill at Ascot Diamonds back in 2013 when my then boyfriend, now husband, and I began searching for a jeweler to help with the engagement ring process. We thoroughly searched jewelers and researched diamonds because we had no idea what we were doing and were scared of getting taken advantage of. Ascot was recommended to us by a customer of mine, after noticing her absolutely gorgeous engagement ring. Her fiancee told me about all of their extensive research they did in DC and NYC for the best jeweler and how Ascot was by far their best experience, best quality for the price, etc. We figured it was worth a try, and I am SOOO glad we found them. Jill at Ascot has been our jeweler for 5 years now. She worked with us (and then my husband for many months afterwards) to locate the perfect diamond, together they created a custom made engagement ring that I adore. We got our wedding rings there, I got a ring after the birth of each of my children, and we just got a custom made necklace of the birthstones of each of our children (my first experience with gemstones!). Each time Jill gave us plenty of options without being overwhelming, researched diamonds, and or gemstones, ring options, etc. and helped us customize everything so it was perfect for me. I also brought her my grandmother's old necklace that we "modernized" with her help and their jeweler's great skills. I cannot say enough amazing things about this place. So easy to work with, so comfortable, the quality is amazing, the price is extremely reasonable, you will not find a better jeweler. Honestly, if we ever move out of this area, we will drive or fly back to DC to work with them for more pieces. I love Ascot!

    Ascot Diamonds Washington DC's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words. I loved working with you and helping you create your gorgeous pieces. Thank you!!

    Kind regards,
    Jill

    Ascot diamonds was amazing to work with while picking out our wedding bands. We worked with a nice gentleman who knew the area where we were getting married at- Herrington on the Bay in Southern MD. He was able to work within our price range and was wonderful and very personable. Every time I need my rings cleaned- we go to Ascot because you are in and out very quickly and they do an amazing job cleaning the rings professionally.

    my girlfriend found the wedding ring of her dreams at Ascot Diamonds via the internet. We are from California, therefore we did not get to see the piece in person. I contacted the closest store located in Dallas and spoke with Maurice. He was completely professional and calmed my fears by giving me a guaranteed satisfaction with the product I was buying. I needed the ring in a short amount of time and he came through flawlessly. The ring turned out amazing and I'm extremely happy with the product and the service Marcie and Ascot Diamonds provided. Will definitely shop their again.

    We were so pleased with the Ascot experience. Tim was very responsive initially when we were “shopping around” for rings. Once everything was confirmed, he was on hand to provide general guidance and field frantic questions and requests. Tim was very professional and made the experience easy, fun, and low-stress. All our needs were met and I would recommend Ascot to anyone without hesitation.

    My fiance got my engagement ring from Ascot after numerous good reviews from his friends. He had worked with Paul and found him very easy to work with and they found a beautiful engagement ring which I love. Through all of my interactions with Paul and his team afterward they were hugely helpful, resizing the ring within 24 hours, having it cleaned numerous times at no cost prior to the big day and finally in finding my matching band within less than a month of the big day (which was a bridal blip on my end). They were very accommodating and pleasant and I would gladly recommend them to anyone needing a jeweler.

We decided to go back to get our bands and they turned out so well. Paul is a gem to work with and we are very very thankful for him!

    I highly recommend this jeweler!

    We worked with Tim from Ascot for both my engagement ring and our wedding bands. He was incredibly professional and responsive throughout the process. He took the time to educate us and consider our needs/style. He made the process so simple and we are thrilled with all of our pieces.
