Dominion Jewelers

My fiance purchased my engagement ring at Dominion Jewelers through Marsha in October of 2011. He had such a wonderful experience, and my ring is absolutely perfect. It was a collaborative effort- I picked out the setting, and he selected the stone. We have since gone back to Marsha to design our wedding bands. The quality is amazing, and Marsha has been nothing but helpful and excited throughout our entire process. Dominion Jewelers also offer a finance program which makes it easier on the wallet :) I can't imagine having a better experience anywhere else. Thank you Marsha and Dominion!

We bought both wedding bands and the engagement ring from Dominion Jewelers. They worked with us to customize the rings to our specifications. The rings are of high quality and are a better value for your money than the commercial jewelers that we looked at. My only criticism is that they are so popular and busy that they weren't very responsive and the rings were not ready on time, however they quickly corrected the issue. Overall, I was very happy with Dominion and would use them again in the future.

Can you say... Life Saver! My amazing husband custom designed my ring and originally went to Jared to have it made. They completely botched the job and when they notified us that they could not make the ring there was only 3 weeks left until our wedding. We went to Dominion Jewelers and boy did they save the day! With only 3 weeks from start to finish... they got my ring done and it is absolutely gorgeous! These guys are true artisans and professionals. You can tell that they take pride in their products and go out of their way to make sure their customers leave happy. I will be going to them for all my future jewelery needs. If you are doing a custom designed ring don't even look anywhere else... go to Dominion!

Super nice and helpful staff. Beautiful rings! Huge selection and you can design your own if you want.

I purchased my husband’s wedding ring at Dominion Jewelers and we were very happy with the service. We showed them a picture of exactly what we wanted and Dominion produced the same exact thing, but for a significantly cheaper, reasonable price than the designer band it was based off of. The staff was very knowledgeable. Although we had to follow-up to figure out when it would be arriving, the band looked perfect and we’ve been very happy with it. The ring, nonetheless, is very large, and we’ve had to have it resized twice, so that was a bit frustrating. In the end, I will likely go back for additional jewelry in the future for the prices alone!

Carol did a wonderful job helping me design a unique and beautiful engagement ring. The family diamond was an antique and needed special care, and dominion did a great job of making my vision a reality.

Great work on two custom wedding bands. Mine was fairly simple; my husband's less so. They did a great job on both. It was occasionally difficult to get to the staff member helping us, but Dominion is very busy. You put up with the occasional inconvenience because the work is so good. They really stand by what they do, and were more than helpful with cleaning, resizing, etc. as we approached the wedding day. They've also done several friends' rings (on whose recommendation we came), and all have had great success!

They created beautiful rings for us and we were very happy with the end result.

Marsha and Carol made my dreams come true! My engagement ring is phenomenal! They custom make ANYTHING! I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants any jewelery.

I just want to say that Marsha is the best at Dominion Jewelers!!! She was very helpful from start with my husband to be to finish when we came to pick out a design for my wedding band.I took my mothers bedding rings in to be cleaned and repaired and the did a phenomenal job for a excellent price. Dominion Jewelers is the best I will never go anywhere else!!

Our rings are perfection! They hand sketched the same design in to both of our rings and they turned out perfect! My family has been loyal customers for decades, and they made one of my husband and I too!

My engagement ring was from a national chain store and didn't come with a matching band. It is a simple design, so I was surprised with how difficult it was to try and find something that matched. I decided to have a band made to match, and went to the chain store the engagement ring came from first. Dominion Jewelers beat their price by $350 and completed it in 1.5 weeks (instead of the 4-8 weeks the other store would have taken). When I went to pick up my wedding band, it was actually wrong - the diamonds in the bands were pave set instead of channel set. When I pointed it out, they were extremely apologetic, asked to keep my engagement ring for reference (I had needed it back earlier) and fixed it in one day. The final product is perfect in every way and I love it.

Dominion Jewelers custom makes their jewelry, on site, so you get exactly what you want. They worked with my husband to design to perfect, one-of-a-kind engagement ring, doing everything right there from the sketches to the wax molds to the actual crafting of the ring. We ended up buying our wedding bands there, too, and they made a custom wedding band to fit the unusual shape of my engagement ring and they look perfect together. Definiitely worth the cost - and they finished things when they said they would!

My engagement ring and wedding band are stunning. My fiance had a fabulous experience designing my engagement ring and it is absolutely perfect for me. I adore everyone who works there and am so grateful for all they did for us.

best deal,best diamond,best people to deal with

I so highly recommend working with them. My husband originally went to them with family diamonds to custom-make a ring for me. This family owned store is full of friendly, knowledgeable staff. They are not pushy to make a sale but focus on what you want. With the jewelry designers in store, you can see where they create the masterpieces. We went back to them for our wedding bands, and I'm sure we will be stopping in regular for more, unique pieces.

Also, even though items are custom, the prices are not outrageous. In fact, we found their prices to be very good for jewelers in the area.

I had given my wife a ring that had belonged to my grandmother as an engagement ring. It was an unusually shaped setting of diamonds sapphires and a pearl. So when we went to look at wedding bands I knew we needed to go custom to get the right fit. Dominion Jewelers offered us a quick and easy solution to getting a custom band made. They made a gorgeous band that fit perfectly around the engagement ring with alternating diamonds and sapphires set in white gold. We had one hick-up in which when we went to get the ring it had been set with all diamonds. The master jeweler there said give him an hour and he would pop out half the diamonds and replace them. Additionally, they cleaned up the engagement ring to looking brand new (despite another jeweler saying they wouldn't clean it because of the pearl). We could not have been more happy with what they put together for us. A truly unique piece at a great price.

My engagement ring is the most beautiful engagement ring I've ever seen – probably a little partial. We then used Dominion for our wedding bands and for our gift to each other (2 watches). Rachelle was so helpful in finding something that matched my engagement ring, extremely helpful in keeping us within budget, and had creative ideas. Rachelle also helped us save significant money on our watches by finding something affordable with the look we were hoping to get out of the piece. Now that we're pregnant she's also helping my husband create a gift for me once I give birth. She helps us get quality jewelry for much, much less than we would pay anywhere else.

Ask for Sergio Rojas, he is the best! I have a beautiful engagement ring and band that he helped my husband design based off a ring I liked from Tiffanys. It is custom made to perfection. Sergio was very helpful, patient, and kind.

My husband got my engagement ring at Dominion and we were so pleased we went back for our wedding bands. Everything is custom made and very reasonable. Not your traditional jewelry store.

I dealt with Dominion for a custom designed engagement ring, as well as our wedding rings. Their staff was top notch from the very beginning. I want to say that they went above and beyond just days before our wedding however. A mistake in one of weddings was realized. It appeared to have been our fault when ordering the ring. Still, the ring was incorrect. After discussion of what our options were, Dominion went above and beyond and remade us a new ring. They completed a new ring in miracle time for the wedding that was just two days away! Their sole mission was to ensure we were happy. They have customers for life. I completely recommend them and their master artists.

Love, love, love my engagement ring and our wedding bands. These folks are so pleasant and fun to work with. My husband collaborated on the design of my engagement ring with them. When he didn't like something about the setting they were able to adjust it on the same day. My wedding band is lovely with a classic look. My husband picked one out that is a little unusual and it looks great on him.

Carol at Dominion Jewelers did a wonderful job helping my husband select my engagement ring and then help us select our wedding bands. They do wonderful work and everyone comments on how beautiful our rings are.

Great place. They custom made the groom's wedding band to the exact specifications asked without issues. It's beautiful and Jody is great to work with! Very professional with a decent price.

We had a family heirloom diamond and wanted to create a new setting. Entrusting a jeweler with a diamond that dated back to the 1900s is a difficult thing to do. (I've heard one too many horror stories) We visited about 6 other jewelers before going to Dominion. As soon as we met with Sergio we felt at complete ease! Unlike other jewelers that have to outsource, all Dominion jewelry is all made on site. Which means our very special diamond would never be leaving the building. Our ideas for the new setting were listened too & sketched out for us to get an idea of exactly how it would look. A few weeks later we went to go pick up the ring and it was more beautiful than we could have ever imaged! Highly recommended for those wanting to get a custom setting. The price was hard to beat!

No one compares to Dominion! Jairo, Sergio, Mohammad, Rachelle and the entire team know how to take care of you! The engagement ring they designed with my fiance is perfect - they were able to match the band to a family heirloom band as well. My fiance's band is also perfect - and so were the gorgeous earrings I wore for my big day! A million thanks!

We had a personal referral to Carol at Dominion Jewelry for our wedding bands. We had gone to other retail stores first. After looking at my engagement ring and listening to my fiance's likes/dislikes, Carol hand held us through the selection process. Dominion has a better selection and MUCH better prices than what you'll find at retail stores. We were able to pick out the perfect wedding bands in one day. Carol is a dream to work with. She had our rings re-sized & ready for our wedding within days. My only disappointment - that we didn't go to Dominion for my engagement ring!!!

We heard about Dominion from some friends who had a custom ring made there and I will forever be in debt to them. I know some ladies like to upgrade their rings for special anniversaries, but I never want to wear anything other than the custom ring my husband had made at Dominion. I found a picture online of the engagement ring I wanted and Sergio was able want to take that and make it into a reality. Dominion also did our wedding bands which turned out perfect. Mine was a little complicated since my engagement ring has a swirl to it, but my wedding band fits great. My husband was really set on having some kind of blue accent in his ring and Dominion did a beautiful job setting a wave of blue sapphires into his band.

My husband had even gone to the Diamond District in NYC when searching for someone to make my ring and we’re so glad we found Dominion. I love that they do the computer generated images and wax molds so you can really see what your ring will look like. My center stone was also purchased at Dominion and we got a better price for a better quality rock than many other jewelers in the area. Plus, they are super fast and everyone in the shop is very warm and friendly.

We recommend Dominion to all our friends (we were one of the first to get engaged), especially those who are looking for something unique. Hubby knows where to go if I want something special now :-)

So, we purchased both the bride and groom wedding bands from Dominion Jewelers after checking out a few of the other options out there. We really liked the unique offerings that Dominion had to offer and the groom's band was a design that I had not seen elsewhere. Overall, Sergio was helpful and pleasant to work with. Also, he suggested that we bring the wedding rings in during the week of the wedding to have them cleaned and resized and they definitely did sparkle! In fact, they even cleaned the engagement ring, which was not purchased at Dominion! However, a few of the things that were not so good included the fact that one of the stones popped out of the bridal band when my wife tried it on and we had to have it re-set the Tuesday prior to our wedding. So, while they were definitely responsive in fixing it immediately, it was unfortunate that we had to have another stressor during the wedding week (it should be noted that no other stones have popped out since!). Another thing that we did not like is that we purchased the rings and were told it would be ready within 6 weeks. After 8 weeks of not hearing back, we had to take it upon ourselves to call in to check the status of the rings, which did not impress us. Overall, I would recommend Dominion to anyone due to their offerings and the overall customer experience, but they are certainly not perfect!

P.S. Lastly 1) The prices seemed on par with other vendors, 2) When you walk into Dominion Jewelers, we wish that they were a bit more friendly upon entry since it almost seems like they forgot that they just buzzed you in to the store! There isn't a greeter and you feel like you are disturbing the folks crafting the jewelry and have to track someone down. 3) Make sure you ask for an appraisal before you pick up your jewelry so you don't have to come back to get it!

Our rings are so unique and so beautiful. Dominion custom designs jewelry so you get exactly what you want at about half the price of a regular jewelry store. We are SO happy with our rings. Just make sure to allow plenty of time for them to be made.

Stephanie and Sergio at Dominion Jewelers are incredibly professional and flexible. They are willing to go to any lengths to make their customer happy and the jewelry as beautiful as possible. My husband and I love our rings and we will be using them again for all of our jewelry needs.

My husband had my engagement ring custom made from Dominion Jewelers. It is the most gorgeous ring ever! I get tons of compliments on it, and I love to tell people that he had it custom made. I told him lots of different little things I liked in rings, never expecting to get them all, and Dominion (and my husband) did it. We had them make my wedding band to match my ring. I love it!! His ring is also very nice, and Rachelle were very helpful assisting us in selecting the right ring and getting the engravings. We love our rings. They are so classic and timeless. I smile every time I look at them!!

Loved my engagement ring and wedding band. Felt a little over charged for the wedding band.

This is from my Yelp review:
I first heard of Dominion from a friend who has a friend who had some old jewelry re-made into something she actually wanted to wear. After hearing about this friend's good experience and the good prices that Dominion has, I decided to go with them for my fiance's and my wedding jewelry.

First, the shop is pretty amazing. There's the usual counters with watches and jewelry, but the jewelry was made right there in the shop...behind the counter! There's 5-8 or so artisans working on really cool-looking equipment right in front of your eyes. I could just stand in there and watch, it's so interesting. The customer part of the shop downstairs is pretty small, so it's often crowded. The front door is always locked, so you have to knock and peer in, and someone will open the door for you.

Upstairs is more jewelry and desks of the jewelers. Rachelle helped my fiance and I design and decide on our rings. Rachelle obviously knows what she's doing and was able to steer us to exactly what we didn't quite realize we wanted! I am the bride, and have not previously cared about diamonds, but when I decided I did want diamonds, I wanted to get a ring I've loved for a long time, but which is decidedly not bridal jewelry. My fiance on the other hand prefers very traditional bridal styles. SO...Rachelle listened to what we both wanted and in 2 seconds suggested something both of us are completely happy with. Maybe she should go into relationship counseling??

As for the selection of the diamonds and metal, Rachelle asked our budget and then gave us a bunch of options to choose from. I love the diamond I ended up with! As for timing, everything was ready right when we were told it would be, which was pretty fast. The turnarounds were 1-2 weeks. We weren't in a rush, but would have been happy if we had been in a rush. Oh, and the pricing is very good. They don't give you the "this price is double what we're actually willing to sell it for" price that you get a lot of places. Which is comforting and anxiety-decreasing.

My husband worked with Carol on designing my engagement ring and we went back to get our wedding rings. I adore both of my rings and my husband’s band turned out exactly what we wanted. I felt that they were a little pricy, but you can\'t beat the service that they provide or the quality. I also lost 50 pounds during the course of my engagement and had to have my e-ring resized twice. They initially told us that the first resize would be free and anything else we would have to pay. However, when I picked up my ring the second time they waved me off with no charge. They even cleaned it and smoothed out a small scratch. We highly recommend going to Carol. She was friendly, professional and very up front with prices. If we ever need anymore jewelry, we will definitely go back to Dominion.

My husband got both my engagement ring and my wedding band from Dominion. It was a pretty good experience. We had a few hiccups with things not being right the first time, and we had to go back a few times. I almost got the feeling that we would get more attention if we were spending more money. We had custom work done, but it was still very simple. They were professional and flexible, but not necessarily the most friendly.

My rings are beautiful and I get many compliments on them. They do wonderful work. It's a little pricer, but you'e paying for something that's unique and completely you.

My husband picked this jeweler for my engagement ring. It was a diamond in the center with two rubies on the side. It was so beautiful, and he designed it on his own. I was so impressed that we both went there for our wedding rings. We thought the quality was good.

I had an idea for an engagement ring and they made it real! It is exactly as I pictured and I have received a ton of compliments on it. It is especially nice to hear "Its so gorgeous, I've never seen anything like it!"

Rachelle is wonderful! She helped us work through the process of picking out unique designs for the engagement and wedding rings. We are so happy with the results!

My husband describes this place as "Santa's workshop for jewelry". They make the jewelry on the first floor of this amazing place. My husband spent a lot of time researching different stores and places to buy a diamond ring (from Tiffany's to the online and radio ad mega stores), and Dominion is definitely the best place for quality, service, and value.

I shopped all around VA to buy my wedding ring. I wanted a ring that would fit nicely and compliment my engagement ring and I had idea of what I wanted but I couldn't find anywhere else. I went to Dominion and I brought to them a drawing of what I wanted and they "forged" my ring. I get compliments on it all the time. They did great work!
The other nice thing is that they do just about everything in house- except for the molding process. But it was nice to get my ring in 2 weeks instead of 4-6 weeks like other places.

We had Dominion Jewelers custom make my wedding band. I could not be any happier with the finished product. It is everything I wanted and more.

We worked with Stephanie and she was very pleasant to work with. We described to her what we wanted and had sample pictures of ideas and they put together CAD images of my ring. They were very easy to work with in making changes to the design. After three different images and changes, I finally was happy with the design and they created the setting which I was able to see and try. The end product with the diamonds placed was amazing. Great craftsmanship and fit perfectly with my engagement ring. Also extremely affordable! We were shocked at the price they quoted us for...similar jewelers around the area quoted us for almost twice the price Dominion gave us.

In the end I am extremely happy with my wedding band and would go back to Dominion for any other custom work.

Best custom jeweler around. The staff look great care of us. Went the extra mile to ensure the rings were perfect.

Dominion custom made my wedding band to match my engagement ring. The design process was painless. They produced a wax model of the ring that they asked me to try on and approve before casting. The only problem I encountered was minor - they forgot to call me when the ring was finished and ready for pickup. Their prices are very reasonable, compared to other custom jewelers. I probably saved $700 over competitors. I found the staff to be pleasant and helpful. When I decided that the ring might be too tight during summer weather, they resized it within the week at no charge. Dominion does high-quality work and I was very happy with the end product.

Beautiful rings, did a great job with the settings and engraving. I would highly recommend them!

Dominion was great. We went looking for both of our wedding bands and they were very professional and great to work with. Mo worked up a quote for both of our rings right away. We ended up going a different jeweler, which was cheaper, for my ring...but my husband designed his ring through Dominion - the pricing was very competitive. Will be going back!

They created a beautiful wedding band for me based on the picture that I brought in. It was $700 cheaper than the same ring at a different jeweler and it was ready in less than two weeks. Plus they engraved it for free. I had a great experience with Dominion Jewelers.

Tried to sell me a diamond for $1200 over what it was worth online. Refused to negotiate, made no follow-up discussions even though I considered trying again.

I got the feeling they were trying to rip me off because they thought I was naive about diamonds.

Our date changed at the last minute and my husbands ring was custom with our wedding date on it. They were kind and understanding and swapped the ring, we only had to pay the new labor.

Rachelle was great. Worked with us through every step, and patiently explained all that we needed to know about diamonds. She also understood our budget, and helped us find the perfect rings.

I took my antique engagement (circa 1820s) ring to Dominion Jewelers to have small diamonds added to the setting and to have the shank replaced. The shank looked beautiful, the craftsmanship was great. The enhancements, however, were all wrong. The diamonds were inserted in the shape of a circle, not a square as the work order decribed. The diamonds in the corners of the square were to be slightly larger than the rest, however all of them were the same size. I was devastated because the work done perverted the antique look and ruined the ring completely. I spoke with Sergio the day I picked it up and he was downright rude and unresponsive. He appeared to be completely uninterested in my dissatisfaction and referred me back to the salesperson, so I had to return on a different day. I met with her and, after a bit of hagling, she agreed to reset the ring to its original design. She argued that they had done nothing wrong even though the words "square-shaped" were in her handwritting on the work order and we were looking at a circle of pave set diamonds. I paid for the shank, but not the reconstruction - that was another hagle. I even had to ask her to copy a photo of the original setting to give to the jewler so he would know what the ring looked like originally. Another indication that they did not care about the reconstruction results. The ring looks like new and I am happy with the craftsmanship, however the customer service is deplorable. They made me feel horrible and failed to admit a clear error on their part. I would NEVER recommend this jewler to anyone.

Dominion Jewelers!! The people who work there are amazing! They make you feel so welcome and will work hard to make sure you get exactly what you want. I had to have my ring sized numerous times and never once did I feel like they were tired of seeing me walk through those doors! I highly recommend Dominion Jewelers if you want to work with someone who will listen to you!

Very helpful when it came to picking out wedding rings and putting an engagement ring together (I recycled a stone I already had). They have lots of options to look at and they are willing to spend time with you. They are a bit pricey but you get what you pay for.

My husband is friends with Sergio whose family owns this wonderful jewelry store. They not only have beautiful jewelry and will design just about anything, they can clean and fix your jewelry right there in the store.

This is a long-standing, family-owned company. They are extremely patient and professional. I would recommend them to anyone!

Dominion Jewelers was absolutely great. We never felt like they were snubbing us since we didn't buy platinum bands like almost every other jeweler we visited. They custom made our bands, within one week, and for cheaper than Jared's stock pieces. Since they custom made them, there were a few issues with the bands not being exactly as we wanted them, but they took the bands back and redid them to our specifications. Rochelle was such a great saleswoman - very upbeat and understanding of the designs we were looking for. The pricing was extremely competitive. All in all, it was a great experience, and I would absolutely go back there for future purchases and/or repairs.

We worked with Dominon to design and make our wedding bands - They were wonderful to work with, had great ideas, talked to us about price and what looked the best. Great value for the price. My dh also went to them to design a 3 strand pearl bracelet monogrammed with my new initials - a perfect wedding present.
I am also a wedding planner and try to send all my clients to visit Dominion!

We bought my wedding bands at Dominion (recommended to us by a friend) after researching a few other places at the mall. Since they are a family owned store and not a retail chain, the prices were MUCH cheaper. We ended up saving at least $1,000. They can customize any peice for you and if you don't like how it turns out, they will continue to work with you until you do (rest assured, they got mine right the first time). I ended up getting two pave eternity bands, which took a little less than two weeks. Compared to retail (Bailey, Banks & Biddle, Christian Bernard, etc) for the quality and price that Dominion provides, it really is the better option!
