Mervis Diamond Importers

If you go to Mervis in Tysons, ask for Emily. She was fantastic with us and provided excellent service.
Thank you!

Mervis is exactly my kind of jeweler. Strange thing is, I didn’t know that existed having only seen and dealt with jewelry stores in malls, etc. I ended up getting both my wife’s engagement ring and my wedding band at Mervis. The reason that they got my business was two-fold. First, their approach to working with you is exactly opposite a normal store. They sit with you in a private meeting room and discuss at a high level what you are looking for…and if you’ve already run around to a few other places you have a general idea. This is perfect (especially if you are shopping with your significant other) because you aren’t seeing things waaay outside your range. I also never felt as if they were trying to upsell me up a few tiers or giving me the completely manufactured lines I got at so many other places like “you need to spend 3 to 4 months salary on a ring” which is ridiculous and contrived by jewelry stores. Secondly, they were extremely flexible and made a ring work with a diamond that it was not designed to accommodate by having their in house jeweler get a little creative. I have nothing but a great feeling about all of my experiences there, which is something I never thought I would be capable of saying about a jewelry store.

Worth every penny! From the moment you are buzzed in the door you are treated like royalty, regardless of the budget. We went to look at rings together with the idea that DH would then pick his favorite at a later time and not once did they make as fell rushed/pushed to get one of theirs. Probably didn't hurt that Ronny himself wound up serving us when our scheduled consultant got stuck in an earlier appt. He was honest when it came to what styles look best, which was greatly appreciated. So many places are focused on upselling while Mervis focused on finding the ring that fit my wants and needs and not their sales goal.
Since getting my ring I have gotten so many compliments about how gorgeous it is and how well it fits me.
Job well done Ronny!

My husband purchased my engagement ring and wedding band from the Mervis in Tysons and Gail was great to work with. He said that she made the process of choosing a diamond very easy for him, which he appreciated as his is not a big fan of shopping! Gail helped me during several appointments to make sure that the sizing of the rings was perfect and even sent them back up to the designer (Jeff Cooper) to make sure that I was completely satisfied with how they fit. Everyone that we spoke or met with at Mervis was very professional and helpful to both of us. Ronnie Mervis himself even checked in on me to make sure that we were happy with everything! We will definitely be back to Mervis for future jewlelry purchases and would highly recommend them for anyone looking for engagement and wedding rings.

I can't say enough nice things about the help we've gotten at Mervis; my husband purchased my engagement ring from Ashley, who helped him pick out exactly the type of ring I wanted, and my wedding band from Gail, who was also very helpful. The rings look beautiful!

All three rings came from Mervis: engagement ring and both wedding bands. The service is very personal and private, prices are fair. Lots of great designs and diamonds to choose from. Our jeweler went above and beyond to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. I would also recommend taking advantage of their trunk shows for great deals.

my fiance and i had an excellent experience with mervis in tysons corner. they had a very large selection to fit your price range and to match what you were looking for. they are so professional and knowledgeable. we loved the 1-on-1 nature of our consultations. it's so hard walking into mervis without walking out with a diamond!

My husband bought my engagement ring from Tina at Mervis, and had great things to say about her. The poor thing hadn't the first clue about picking out a diamond and she walked him through the process. He and I never even spoke about my tastes, and I love my ring! I also got my wedding band at one of their trunk shows. I must say that my diamonds, when compared to those of my coworkers and friends, are of SUPERIOR quality. Mervis does not sell ugly diamonds! If you're looking for value for your dollar, go to Mervis. You will not be disappointed.

amazing

I was having a hard time picking out my wedding band because no one had the matching band to my ring. Mervis was the 5th and last place we decided to try before i picked something that i liked but didn't love. As soon as we sat down the women knew exactly what brand my ring was before i even took it off (which i know is her job but no one that we visited before knew) she went and got the matching band and i was sold. She even gave us a great discount. I was very impressed with them and would use them again for any other jewelry that i need.

I purchased my husband's wedding band from the Chevy Chase location. Our sales consultant was wonderful. She was very personable and helped my husband to narrow down what he was looking for. I don't remember her name because the ring was purchased a while ago, but she was a petite blond with a beautiful 4ct. engagement ring. I would definitely do business with them in the future.

We had a great experience with Mervis - while I wasn't with my husband when he purchased my engagement ring, he said it was by far the best customer service he received when ring shopping. When we went back to pick out wedding bands we worked with Tina, the same person that helped him with the ring. She was very knowledeable and friendly. SHe called us to let us know that there was a trunk show by the designer of my engagemet ring so that we could hav a great selection of wedding bands. I am able to drop my ring off at any time for a quick polish or overnight for a cleaning! Great customer service!!

Loved working with Mervis. Very friendly, helpful, and not pushy.

We had a great experience with Mervis - Tysons. Our jeweler was helpful, offered good suggestions, and basically stuck to our price range. We were very happy with our experience and highly recommend using Mervis - Tysons. Thank you!

Absolutely beautiful diamonds and great service! My husband worked with Becky when picking out my engagement ring and she spent over 3 hours analyzing and looking at diamonds after the store had closed! She also helped us with our wedding bands and was very helpful! I would 100% recommend purchasing wedding rings/bands at Mervis!

We were very pleased with Mervis. Would definitely recommend them. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. The selection is excellent.

Jeanne Miles is the best employee at Mervis! She took care of us throughout the whole process and couldn't have made ring shopping more of a joy. I would recommend Mervis to anyone looking for a good jeweler and a personal shopping experience.

Thank you Jeanne and the Mervis team!!!

Jeanne Miles at Mervis was an absolute joy to work with--very responsive to all of our questions and emails, knowledgeable, professional, and just a really nice person. We also really liked the personalized attention one gets at Mervis--instead of standing at the jewelry case and looking at the rings there, (at least at the Friendship Heights location) Mervis brings you back to a personal room and brings different selections to you, based on what you're interested in. We really appreciated having the time and space to look and decide. We got my engagement ring there, as well as both of our wedding bands, and should we ever be in the market for diamonds again, Mervis will definitely be the first place we return to.

We got the engagement ring and both wedding rings at Mervis. Gail provided great service and I love our rings! We shopped around a lot and I think we got a great deal.

We are both pleased with our wedding rings. When Chris proposed I was surprised and happy to know we were getting ready to plan our wedding and lives together. It was nice to hear he went to the trunk show at mervis and bought my engagement band. He did a wonderful job at picking out the ring on his own and it fits perfect. We both then had the chance to go back and pick our wedding bands that we exchanged during our ceremony on July 31st, 2010. Mervis was great at buffing and cleaning my engagement band before the wedding so it looked shiny and new to go with the wedding band. I can't tell you how much I love the ring as the diamonds and quality are great and the service is always remarkable and professional. Thanks for making our wedding day special by allowing us to take the time to view our options within our price range that we will wear for a lifetime. I am sure I will look to upgrade some over the years and maybe add another band in years to come. Thanks again and I would recommend your store to others as I couldn't be happier.

The best presentation of how to purchase a diamond available on the web says the "groom" and the consultant we worked with via international waters was simply exceptional at her job. Each selection, fitting was first hand quality and the final picture of rings true beauty as an expression of commitment of what wedding rings/bands symbolize. I/we will be visiting them soon for future purchase here in the US and abroad. We are well pleased in our selections and overall experience with Mervis Diamonds.

We bought both the engagement, and wedding bands at Mervis. We felt we got a quality product for an affordable price. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The rings were beautiful!

Quality of service: was better than 5 stars, my Mervis sales rep was knowledgable and very personable, a pleasure to do business with.
Responsivness: could not have been better
Professionalism:Ashley Gwin was very professional (6 stars)
Value for Budget: I was very pleased with the pricing and quality/value
Flexibility: I came without and appointment and was immediately taken care of in a extremely professional manner, it could not have been better

There is probably not much more that I can say that others have not already said. We shopped at the Tysons Corner store in Fairfax. They staff were friendly, educated us, and helped us find exactly what we wanted. We were happily surprised to find rings that were more than we expected we could afford, at affordable prices. Even on a budget that doesn't match that of some couples in NOVA, we were treated and helped like everyone that came in: with respect and careful consideration. Thanks Mervis!

My husband spent a lot of time researching a great local jeweler. He had his grandmother's stone reset and Mervis was outstanding. We went back and purchased both of our wedding bands from them. I would definitely do pricing research before buying, however, they are great to work with and are very accommodating.

Ashley at Mervis (Tyson's Corner) was great! She worked with us to find exactly the right rings! The groom worked with her first to buy the engagement ring - she provided the necessary support and helped him find exactly what he was looking for in a ring. Ashley seemed much more interested in our happiness and less interested in any commission she might earn. She is very pleasant to work with, is flexible and willing to work with your schedule, and makes sure you get what you are looking for! We came away with rings that make us extremely happy and we didn't have to pay a fortune!

My fiance and I stopped by Mervis after several friends recommended them. Elle Perron was very helpful and gave us tons of useful information about what to look for. There were several diamonds that we like but we decided to shop a bit more before making a final decision. There was no need for that! After visiting countless mall stores and several reputable independant stores, we knew Mervis was the place. Elle was very helpful when we called to schedule an appointment and helped us get the diamond mounted and the ring sized the same day that we made our final selection. They truly do offer the most amazing quality and value and there really is no need to go anywhere else.

Loved our experience with the engagement ring so much that we also purchased our wedding rings from Mervis. We didn't have a lot to spend but they made us feel like VIP every time we went in.

Mervis helped my fiance design an engagement ring just for me: And it's perfect! They resized my ring for free (twice), checked to make sure the diamond wasn't compromised when I banged the ring a few months out, and gave it a free cleaning prior to the wedding. They were quick, efficient, and friendly every time. We are customers for life!

I'm not sure of the cost, so I can't really comment on the value for cost, but I will say this. I was not a real jewelry person, so my husband was very smart in warming me up gradually to the engagement ring idea.

I felt a little uncomfortable at some of the jewelry places. For example, a shop touted its designer rings for their name brands (which I had never heard of and frankly I card more about quality of the ring and metal than which designer had stamped its name brand on it), or another had a saleslady wearing too much blingy jewelry and too much makeup who tried to gush about something that was not my taste.

Mervis, by contrast, took us for a calm appointment, where my fiance and I sat and looked at different shapes and qualities of diamonds to compare and figure out what we liked. They even left us alone with them and let us try them in different settings to see what I felt comfortable with. It was a totally different, more relaxed experience, and one I really liked.

I am incredibly pleased with my engagement ring, so I highly recommend Mervis.

Mervis Diamond Importers is truly the greatest place to buy jewelry.

First of all, I'm the type of person who has to make sure that I fully research and compare whenever I'm making an expensive purchase. We went to Jared before we stopped by Mervis because my brother-in-law is obsessed with the place. They were pressuring me the whole time to make the purchase that day, when I didn't even have a setting that I was in love with.

The next day, I went to Mervis and I was introduced to Arnie. He showed us a diamond the same exact cut, quality, and carat as the one I saw in Jared, and it was actually $3,000 less expensive than the one I saw in Jared! The diamond sparkled a lot more too. He explained to me that Mervis doesn't charge an origination fee, which other jewelers add on top of their jewelry prices so that they can advertise the 0% financing options.

I was still having a problem finding a setting I loved, so Arnie suggested that I get a simple Tiffany-style ring so that I would be able to get reasonable priced setting that I could replace in the future without feeling like I was wasting money. He also showed me a couple of different diamonds until I was absolutely sure that I was picking the one I loved. Arnie was also very reasonable and helped me get the best diamond for my budget.

I'm so happy with my experience at Mervis that I will be going back to them when I decide to change my setting. I have such a simple diamond ring, but I am constantly getting compliments about how beautiful and sparkly my diamond ring is!

Tina was our sales person, and was amazing. Explained everything in the process during which my then boyfriend was looking for an engagement ring - quite the nerve wracking experience. Then, when it came time to look for wedding bands, she was not at all sales-y. She was open and honest about what would look best to pair with my engagement ring, and what was realistic for my now husband's. In addition, they were more than wonderful when I had to have my ring resized and polished before the wedding. A standout jeweler in Washington.

I could not say a bad thing about Mervis Diamonds! I wanted to surprise my wife completely, so she had no idea I was even looking for a ring when I proposed. So, having people like Leon and the rest of their staff helping me was amazing. They worked with me to have Tacori custom make a beautiful pave ring that would fit the 3.6k heiloom diamond that I was going to use. They really made it such a pleasure. The ring is absolutely stunning and she still says that she could've never imagined anything better! It was truly perfect! I would definitely recommend anyone looking, to start there.

Mervis Diamond Importers is a fantastic jeweler, and offers great deals on their extensive selection of engagement and wedding rings. We worked with Leon Mervis for both our engagement and wedding rings. He treated us with utmost respect, was very honest and forthcoming, and was very attentive to our needs. I love how they take you to individual rooms, as opposed to talking to someone behind the counter where the rest of the store could hear your business. If you can, I highly recommend going during their winter trunk show. They have some fantastic deals!

My engagement ring and both of our wedding bands were purchased at Mervis. The staff at Mervis is extremely knowledgeable and professional. They will not pressure you into making any decisions. They have a wonderful selection of diamonds, settings, and bands. The quality of their dimaonds can not be beat, and their prices really are lower than other jewelry retailers in the DC area. The store is set up with a bunch of private rooms, so you will get a lot of individual attention. Buying our rings was a great experience! No other jewelry retailer in the DC area compares to Mervis.

They had the largest selection of wedding bands and the staff is professional and very helpful. They were able to find a diamond band in platinum that exactly match the diamonds and the setting as my engagement ring. My husbands ring is tungsten (which neither of us had ever heard of) but they suggested we look at that metal because he's always working with his hands or on the boat etc. It's an amazing metal that NEVER looks dirty and is always shiny. It looks brand new and he never takes it off. We went in looking at platinum which is much more expensive so they actually sold us a band that was a lot cheaper but suits his lifestyle. Where can you get that kind of service this day in age!

Thank you Mervis for finding us both bands we love! Highly recommend them!

Mine and my husbands rings are absolutely breathtaking…enough said. The service is impeccable and the quality of the diamonds speaks for themselves. As a DC resident, I knew I had to have a local dealer supply my engagement and wedding rings (no Zales for this girl). Mervis was exactly what I wanted and they did not disappoint. Plus, they even have a new DRIP (jewelry rental) program. How great is it to be able to rent lavish jewelry for your special day without having to outright purchases tens of thousands of dollars worth of the good stuff.

We went to Mervis just to look, and I fell in love - with a ring! We made an appointment to meet with a specialist, and we felt like royalty looking through stones. She brought out different shapes, sizes, colors, clarities, so that we could decide what worked best for us. We were able to handle the stones, and the sales lady left us with some time alone to talk between ourselves about what we liked. The lighting was great for looking at the stones, and we were giving a magnifying glass to take a closer look as well. All were certified and we could look at the certificate if we wanted. We got a free sizing and restoration before the wedding as well! I'd recommend this place to everyone!

We got both wedding bands from Mervis (mine a platinum five stone diamond band and his a palladium band). Both Jeanie and Evan were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We will definitely be using Mervis in the future for our jewelry purchases.

Working with Elle from Mervis was a dream! She was patient with us as we made a very important decision and provided options to help make the type of rings we wanted work within our budget. We loved the end result and ended up buying all three rings from her. I highly recommend Elle and Mervis!

Working with Mervis Jewelers was a pleasure from beginning to end. This was my second marriage, my first having lasted 27 years. Choosing my first rings was exciting, of course, but i had never had the first class experience that Mervis provided! It was fairytale! From the first moment we were ushered into the little glass room with the curved couch, i felt like we were in a movie. The lights were bright; the jewelry consultant very professional and the diamonds....oh! the diamonds! i had expected to feel pressured, but there was no pressure at all. Our consultant seemed to be there only to guide us through the process and make things as nice as possible, and she did. She was extremely professional but was also warm and charming. Having decided upon the diamond and the setting, we thought we would have to come back the next day to pick up our ring; but we were able to have it in an hour! How exciting it was not to have to wait any longer than that to have it on my finger! We purchased our engagement ring at the end of August and returned for their Christmas event to choose our wedding rings. We found an absolutely beautiful men's designer ring which i later saw in a magazine priced MUCH higher than what we had paid. That was delightful! As for my band, it is absolutely gorgeous! Zed Mervis himself went out of his way to ensure that this was so. i have never seen the likes of customer service as with this fine gentleman. He is a true gentleman through and through. i cannot say enough about him and his fine company. For me, to have to shop elsewhere would be a disappointment.

I would highly recommend Mervis Diamonds in Tyson's Corner. Arnie Minsky is very easy to work with and will save you a lot of money. Great place; no complaints.

After a weary afternoon store hopping around many of the diamond options available in Tyson's Corner, I found myself in one of Mervis' private appointment rooms, comfortably seated across a table from Elle Perron. Elle was easily the most resourceful guide I'd had all day, and was interested in talking diamonds; not pulling in another sale.

She brought together the disconnected thoughts and specs I knew I was interested in and turned them into a perfect engagement ring, one my fiancee couldn't believe I was capable of picking out. Bracing then for the sticker-shock face-slap which I had come to accept as part of the engagement ring purchase experience, I was instead pleasantly surprised by the price, and can attest that Mervis is the unrivaled in their customer service, selection, and value when taking that other plunge.

I would highly recommend Mervis Diamonds in Tyson's Corner to anyone looking for engagement rings, wedding bands, or any form of jewelry. I've purchased her engagement ring, her wedding band, and my wedding band from Mervis. She gets positive comments on her ring EVERY day. Most people remark how much nicer her diamond is in comparison to their own. "Your diamond sparkles so much more than mine." is a frequent comment.

I custom made her engagement ring and her wedding band at Mervis. With Mervis, you can hand pick your diamonds from a selection that is a cut above the rest. Their diamonds are of a MUCH higher quality than other places, especially mall jewelry stores.

The best part of Mervis? The prices. I guarantee you will get more bang for your buck if you buy your ring(s) at Mervis. Do not be fooled by the inexperienced 'sales clerks' at those mall jewelry stores. They are not nearly as knowledgeable about diamonds in comparison to Mervis' employees. Mall jewelry stores will sell you a diamond of lesser quality and charge you more for it.

For the past couple of years I've worked with Arnie Minsky at the Tyson's office. He's a top-notch professional who bent over backwards to meet our every need and expectation. I will now only go to Arnie and Mervis to purchase fine jewelry.

Mervis is exceptional in every aspect of its business and customer service. I had the privelage and honor of working with Evan Mervis in Rockville and he did such a great job of helping me find excatly what I wanted and getting everything ready for me to propose. The detail of the ring all the way to the exceptional sparkle in the diamond I couldn't have asked for a better ring and a better person to work with as Evan. My fiance loved the ring and the symbolic meaning behind it just took her breath away when she saw it. I am excited now because I am working again with Evan to pick out my wedding bands and get everything with that squared away and so far I have nothing but amazing words to tell everyone about Mervis Diamonds. It is the top jeweler I have ever worked with and the only one I feel like I would ever trust with trying to find what would continually take my fiances/wife's breath away. Mervis if you haven't experienced it give it a try and you too will feel as amazed as I was with there selection and great staff. See Evan if you go!

a beautiful ring - perfect!

My husband and I were both grad students at the time we were ring shopping so we didn't have a lot to spend. But Mervis made us feel like VIP and helped us find beautiful rings that were in our budget. I was really picky about my ring (wanted a vintage looking, non-boring ring) and they presented me with many choices that were exactly to my taste. Highly recommend Mervis to everyone.

Helpful in all areas! Easy to make an appointment with, and they will honestly take their time and care with you and help you choose whatever you are looking for.

Mervis was a wonderful place to ring shop. The salespeople were attentive and very friendly.

Gail Gama, Diane Giles, and Ronnie Mervis, I would like to thank you for a fantastic experience at a recent trunk show at Mervis Diamond in Tysons Corner. Not having participated in such an event previously, I was not sure what to expect. Gail and Diane made me feel extremely welcome and were gracious hostesses. They introduced me to various designers and explained how each of them brought a special expertise to the industry. The displays of jewelry from your models as well as the food and drink helped make the evening special. I was not initially planning on a purchase, but you all helped me find something special for my mother's birthday, and she was incredibly
pleased with her gift.

Thanks for the experience!

I got both my wedding band as well as my engagement ring here and I am satisfied with both of them and the service I got there. They were truly professional and even very patient with me as I was being so indecisive about my wedding band. I would definately recommend them to anyone for their wedding jewelry. They also had a great selection!

Whether a novice or experienced diamond-purchaser, with a budget great or small, I must recommend Lisa Binder of Mervis-Tyson's Corner. She is truly exceptional, having assisted me on three purchases over the last few years. Most impressive to me is that she always pushes me to make the right decisions for my circumstances.

My first experience with Lisa Binder was a few years ago. Like most men, I didn't know much about shopping for diamonds, and was completely intimidated. As a grad student on a limited budget, I really wanted to get as much as possible for the money without getting "taken." I traveled around and inspected various settings, but even when I found a few rings to my liking, none were perfect - not to mention out of my price-range. Frustrated, a friend recommended I meet Lisa Binder at Mervis. Her demeanor and friendliness immediately put me at ease. No hard-sell or pressure, instead just showing me different things and talking with me about what I liked and didn't. Ultimately, she helped me design the perfect ring for my wife. It incorporated qualities from the rings I liked, had a larger and higher-graded diamond than I had imagined possible, and the whole package ended up within my budget. To top it off, while it was being designed, she sent me emails to ensure I was still at ease about it all.

Later, I worked with Lisa to find wedding bands. With a little more generous budget to play with this time, I still ended up spending less than anticipated. With Lisa's urging, I chose a band for myself half the price I anticipated spending.

Now, as an established professional, I continue to work with Lisa. She recently helped me purchase some beatiful diamond earings for my wife. And while I have more spending money to play with, Lisa still guided me selflessly. We looked at various sizes of earings, but she encouraged me to go with smaller, higher-quality ones that would better fit my wife's small stature.

If you are in the market for diamond jewelry, I strongly encourage you to visit Lisa Binder at Mervis Diamond Importers. Pricing at Mervis I found to be highly-competitive, but putting them over the top are the fine salespeople like Lisa Binder.

Stella helped us at the Tyson's Corner location. She was very helpful and had great ideas to work within our budget. She even helped my husband pick out a diamond necklace for a wedding present.

While I didn't partake in the selection of my engagement ring, my husband gives Mervis an A+ rating for their stellar service! He said the saleswoman (Mindy??) he worked with was very accomodating and taught him a lot about diamonds.

From my own experience, I have been to Mervis once to look at wedding bands and once to get my engagement ring cleaned. Unfortunately they no longer carried the wedding band that matched my engagement ring, so I ended up purchasing my band from another store. When I went to get my ring cleaned, the day before my wedding, they buffed out all the scratches in the platinum and really shined it up. I had forgotten how beautiful the ring was and they made it look brand new!

All in all, this store is so very highly recommended. They are expensive but you get what you pay for. The quality of my diamond and setting are exceptional and I will return for more nice jewelry when I can afford it.

Great selection, very knowledgeable and helpful, great to work with. We love my rings!

I am back shopping at Mervis for one reason. I bought my wife a custom made wedding ring w/ a beautiful diamond 10 years ago. I am back for her 10th Anniversary.

I went EVERYWHERE looking for my wife's ring. I finally went to Mervis and i was done shopping.

Shopping at Mervis is unlike any jewelry buying experience I have ever had. My sales person, Elle Peron was as courteous, knowledgable, and patient as I could wish. She really spent an incredible amount of time helping me find the right diamond with the right characteristics that met my budget. The experience was great.

Mervis has made a lifetime customer out of me (Trust me guys, you will be buying more diamonds after your engagement ring).

My husband purchased my engagement ring from Mervis Diamonds. It is stunning, and I get compliments on it daily. He has since purchased several more diamond gifts for me there, always having Jill Alexander help him. She is very knowledgeable and helps him find exactly what he's looking for. I highly recommend her.

My husband will not shop anywhere else for diamonds. I have several beautiful settings from Mervis and Mervis is always accomadating (they have switched chains for me, added bales, etc). My anniversary ring from last year always draws comments on how stunningly it is set.
We work with Jill Alexander and the great thing is she is always making notes on my preferences. She knows when a piece will appeal to me and makes sure to point these out when we come in (usually twice a year).
We will continue to use Mervis even if we should eventually relocate.

Ms. Ashley Gwin was wonderful and she introduced us to designer Bill Stanton where we found my replacement wedding band. I now receive many comments on how beautiful my ring is and have recommended Mervis to all of my friends and associates. Thank you. Ray

For our 25th my husband wanted to do something special for me and create a lasting memory. We did our homework and shopped around at every jewelry store we could think of in the Washington Metro area. We shopped mall stores, independents as well as owner operated stores. At most mall stores we felt pressure, and for the money they wanted, the quality was just not up to the price tag. However, when we entered Mervis, from the very moment we were taken into our private room to be shown what was available, we were never once pressured, pushed or rushed. Our sales associate, Marilyn Zalcman, was just the best! She only had our interest at heart. She treated us like we were the only people in the store. She gave us her undivded attention. She also gave us time and space to discuss our pick and left me with a lasting impression as to how a sales associate should conduct herself. Her professionalism and her knowledge of diamonds showed us she pocesses a true passion for what she does. As far as qualitiy and price, we had selected a smaller diamond at a independent jeweler that was local to us. The diamond that we had chosen at the local jeweler was of lesser quality and carat weight. We had decided to keep looking and when we went to Mervis we saved $2,000 dollars on the diamond we chose . It also was a larger stone,better quality, and a much better grade.
I recently lost my husband and everytime I look at that ring it reminds of him and the wonderful experience we had picking out together. Thank you Mervis, I will never forget you and Marilyn for making my 25th a memory that will last a lifetime.
(PS: Marilyn Zalcman is at the Rockville Pike store, stop by and see her sometime.)

Both my husband and I bought our rings at Mervis. My family has actually used Mervis for several occasions and keep coming back due to their great customer service. I bought my ring at a great discount during a trunk show and my husband bought his ring for a much better price than other stores were selling it for. I also appreciate how invested Mervis is in finding you the right ring whereas other jewelry stores we looked at seemed to be filled with snake oil salesmen. I will go back to Mervis for all my future jewelry!

I can’t comment directly on my husbands experience picking out the engagement ring, but I know he had a great experience working with the Mervis in Tyson’s Corner. He did a lot of research and felt that he was getting a great quality of diamond and a fair price. I know he especially liked the fact that he was able to pick out the specific loose diamond and have it set.

I was with my husband when we picked out the wedding band and it is spectacular and very unique. I haven’t seen anything similar elsewhere. The staff there was a pleasure to work with and always made us feel very welcome. The polished my engagement ring prior to the wedding and got all of the little scuffs from everyday wear out – it looked brand new. We are both very pleased with their selection and will purchase other diamond jewelry from Mervis in the future.

Tina at Mervis in Friendship Heights helped my fiance design an engagement ring for me. He enjoyed his experience because Tina was friendly and informative and didn't do the 'sales pitch' shtick. She was always available via phone or email to answer his questions. She has since moved to the location near Tyson's Corner, where I had my final cleaning prior to the wedding. They buffed my band at no charge, which was a courtesy because it was my grandmothers. Overall, a positive and pleasant experience.

We got our wedding bands and the engagement ring at Mervis. We were very happy with the quality and design of all of our rings.

The staff helped us pick a ring in our price range. They were helpful but not pushy. The ring was available when my fiance ordered it and we went back for the wedding ring. We had a very positive experience.

The jewelry was marvelous and it was just an outstanding experience. I might go back there for more stuff.

We originally worked with Evan Mervis to order and purchase my engagement ring. To make a long story short the wrong ring came in for us....round side stones instead of princess....on top of that the stone chipped at the edge...and after all that they were willing to work with us and take it back and replace it with just the cost of labor to fix the chipped stone....so all in all they have been wonderful to work with...I recommend them.

We worked with Arnie and Tina when purchasing my engagement ring and wedding band. I shopped around a LOT (SO was overseas at the time) and I had a good idea of what I wanted. Nowhere else I looked had the same selection and quality as Mervis. Arnie was so helpful working with us on a short time frame, and my engagement ring is beautiful. My only disappointment was that I had a loose prong after only 8 months and I had to pay $60 to have it repaired.

Still, we went back for my wedding band and had a great experience working with Tina. I love my rings and I would recommend that anyone go there.

We got my wedding band at Mervis because that's where my husband bought my engagement ring. We were really happy - they were able to find a band that matched the setting on the engagement ring. I like that they also will clean and buff it for life. We bought when the platinum prices were really high, so it was on the expensive side, but it's really great quality.

I had an extremely positive experience while working with Mervis Diamond Importers. Our salesperson, Jill Alexander was exceptionally helpful in helping me design and purchase both an engagement ring, as well as a wedding band. I am pleased with both the quality as well as the cost of my purchases. I would easily recommend both Jill and Mervis Diamond Importers to friends and family for future jewelry purchases.

We got my engagement ring and wedding band from Mervis. They were great to work with and the quality is amazing.

I highly recommend Lisa Binder at Mervis Diamond Importers, Tyson’s Corner, for all marriage related purchases. I learned of Mervis through their radio advertisements and decided to add them to the list of jewelers that I would use to find the ideal 10th anniversary gift. I was extremely happy with the quality of service and selection of jewelry at Mervis. In addition to the initial 10th anniversary present, I have made purchases for birthdays and recently returned to Mervis and worked with Lisa to select a gift for my bride for our 15th anniversary. I have greatly appreciated Lisa’s patience and insight throughout each selection process.

In addition to purchases of Mervis jewelry, Lisa also provided valuable help with re-setting the diamond in my wife’s engagement ring (purchased before moving to this area). The diamond had come out of its setting and was almost lost. Lisa worked with my wife and the Mervis jeweler to remount the diamond in a secure and elegant manner.

For the first 10 years of our marriage, jewelry purchases were difficult for me and ended up being a hit or miss procedure. Since discovering Mervis Diamond Importers, each experience with Lisa and the staff at Mervis has been pleasant and my wife has always been thrilled by what I have ended up selecting for her (with Lisa’s help). I will continue to draw on the experience and selection at Mervis Diamond Importers for each of my future jewelry purchases.

We had a really nice experience with Ashley at Mervis for both my engagement ring and our wedding bands. Very classy, upscale experience without the sales pressure, it was very low pressure. What I would really like to note is we were probably not spending anywhere close to what many of their customers do, but they treated us with respect and excellent customer service, even with our small budget.

We worked with the Mervis in Friendship Heights, K Street and Rockville. Everyone was very helpful, nice and knowledgable. I do not think their prices are a bargain but you get top quality and good service.

I had a great experience with the Rockville location.
Jeanine was wonderful.
The prices are great compaired to mall prices.
I know my rings are genuine and that I got what I was told I was buying.
Very safe and good prices. Great location and sales person.

My husband has only great things to say about this place. I think my engagement ring looks beautiful and I went there to pick out my wedding band. They were really friendly and their jewelry is high quality. It is quite expensive, so you might want to shop around if you are on a budget.

I purchased an engagement ring from Mervis, and my wife (fiance back then) loved it so much. The sales ladies (Lisa and Eunice) were very helpful and professional, and they were not pushy at all! You can really get high quality diamond and excellent customer service; however, it's not a place for bargain. My shopping experience at Mervis was very nice, and it's worth it to check out their stuff.

They're not cheap, but I don't know any jeweler that is. Emilie at the Mervis in DC is fantastic, and we loved working with her. They were up front about prices and availability, and they even called us to tell us we had accidentally been quoted and paid too much for a wedding band. They promptly refunded the money. We'll continue going back to them in the future.

Mervis provided my husband and I with my gorgeous princess cut diamond engagement ring. Mervis does require appointments in advance, so don't plan to just drop in. Your appointment provides you with a specialized diamond expert that dedicates their time to finding the perfect diamond for you.

The staff is really great and help explains everything to you. They may be pricier than other jewelry stores in the area, but the variety of engagement and wedding bands and their expertise and quality is worth it.

I enjoyed my experience with Mervis Diamond and my sales person, Elizabeth Hauge. Although she was a fairly new employee, her customer service, responsiveness and professionalism were exceptional. Although the security door and guard at the front of the store was a little intimidating, the savings truly outweighed the added security measures. I would highly recommend Mervis to other couples shopping for an exquisite wedding ring and an exceptional value to boot.

We went to Mervis for our wedding bands (and for my engagement ring), and the products are really top notch. The staff was very helpful, and you never felt like they were pushing you to buy the most expensive item. The week of my wedding they polished my engagement ring for free. They have a great assortment of options. They are on the expensive side, but you pay for what you get. Look for the trunk sale to get a deal, especially on the groom's band.

Mervis was OK. They definitely have a big selection, but their selection isn't that great. Tho the day before your wedding, you're able to get a "wedding polish" for free. Which essentially is a $65 full on free polish that restores your ring to like-new condition.

very knowledgable and helpful in choosing diamond. limited in styles of rings - unless only want latest trend...

we purchased my E-ring and wedding bands from Mervis. Our salesperson was wonderful. She was very knowledgable and did what she could to help with any problems we ran into. I have had so many problems with my E-ring ever since I got it. I have had major issues with the setting the diamond is in and I have had it in for repairs at least 3-4 times. I also was charged for polishing the ring when it was in. I actually had taken it to a local jeweler in my hometown to have it put together and they polished for me free of charge and I did not even buy it from them. The local jeweler does all their work in house so it doesn't take as long to get it back. I had spoke to Mr. Mervis about my problems that I have had in the past and he gave me free polishing for a lifetime and a $100 gift card for my troubles. I found that to be very nice of him but just recently, again, I had another problem with my ring. I dropped it on a soft floor and it knocked my diamond sideways and broke the prong. I decided not to even mess with Mervis and took it to the local jeweler who is fixing it for me and putting it in a total different setting that is going to be more sturdy and safe. I have always felt my diamond is not in secure enough and afraid I was going to lose it. We spent an enormous amount of money on my ring and its very upsetting that we have had so many repairs on my ring. I am also upset to find out that my salesperson is no longer with the company after so many years. I just wonder why she left the company??????

My engagement ring is from Mervis. When I got it it was a tad big so we took it in to see what they could do. They suggested sizer balls which was the perfect solution - only took a day as opposed to 2 weeks to get it re-sized. My only complaint is that they charged us $60 for this service even though my husband had just spent a very large amount of money on the ring itself. This service should have been free.

We got our wedding jewelry from here. It was actually pretty inexpensive so that was the biggest selling point. I also like that I can walk in and have it cleaned anytime. They mispelled the word ANGEL on the engraving but we decided not to fix it, it is very unique and a funny story that my husband married an ANGLE (he calls me his wrong angle -- not his RIGHT ANGLE.)

Not the most competitively priced option out there. Shop around!

Although the ring is beautiful, we were disappointed in Mervis' professionalism and service in sizing the ring. First, they tried to charge us for the intial sizing, which was almost insulting. Then they sized it wrong and had a difficult time taking responsibility for doing so. It was an odd experience. We went elsewhere for our bands.

Happy that they have conflict free diamonds.
We thought our first experience was great, but turns out the lady sold us what we were told was platinum but was really white gold. To their credit Mervis fixed this problem to our absolute satisfaction.

They get a low score for responsiveness because we were in there twice looking at wedding bands and two different sales associates were supposed to follow up on prices, and never did. I think the commission just wasn't as high as it was on the e-ring. But overall I would say this is a good vendor. They resolved all of our issues, and I've had friends use them with GREAT SERVICE.

After two and a half years, 4 small diamonds fell off of my wedding ring. I went into the DC showroom and Mr. Mervis himself (after a phone call) took no responsibility. I was told that I would have to pay for all services, including new diamonds, to fix the ring. Mervis claimed that diamonds falling off of a ring are "normal wear and tear". If you'd like your wedding ring to last your entire marriage, don't buy from Mervis.

Private, Personal, Patient. Perfect experience.

I have to send a congratulations to Mervis Diamonds, and espically to Emelie Brebeck for her outstanding service and knowledge of her business.

My husband bought my own engagement ring at Mervis in Tyson's and as a wedding planner, I continue to send my brides and grooms there as well. Service is top-notch and you feel like you're the only one in the store when they set you up in their private sales rooms. They are a true DC institution and it's no wonder why they have been so successful.

Mervis Diamond Importers is an outstanding company to purchase your engagement and wedding rings from....as well as any "wedding gifts" for the bride or groom!
