I have relied on Real Jewelers for years to repair and clean my jewelry. They are my most trusted jeweler and I trust them 100% to always do an excellent job. Their quality and prices are excellent and the workmanship is perfect. Thank you Real Jewelers for always taking excellent care of my jewelry!

Got an appraisal quickly, done in less than a day. Jeweler was great at explaining the different qualities of a ring that come into appraisal, and really explained a lot about the industry that helped me with other decisions. I cant recommend Real Jewelers high enough.

Mory came up with a great design to turn my old engagement ring into a beautiful statement piece. People complement it regularly.

The owner was kind, friendly, and very knowledgable. He repaired an old watch for me and told me more about its history. I will definitely go back for future watch and jewelry repair needs.

I stopped in to talk with Mory one day, on the way to catch my train. By the end of our chat, I knew he has been in business for 30 years, how many children he has, how he refuses to ship the highest of high end watches, and he is quietly passionate about what he does. We ended up discussing not just the initial project about which I had intended to ask, but several additional projects I’ve been putting off because I couldn’t find a decent jeweler I could trust.A week after our initial meeting, I left my first project with Mory: a watch, crafted 80 years ago by my Great Great Uncle at HIS jewelry store in Coronado. The piece was handed down from my Great Great Aunt, to my Grandmother, to my Mother, to me, and will ultimately go to my daughter. Several years ago the watch was the victim of a bad repair, leaving it in an unwearable condition.Mory handled the piece with respect and skill. He quoted a price for cleaning and discussed options for repairing the crystal. He then placed the watch on a scale (conveniently placed, in view, at the counter) in order to weigh its gold content. This was significant, and we discussed the watch’s value based on gold content alone. Mory then smiled, shook his head, and told me he was unable to live with the horrible sapphire replacement from the bungled repair. While no instant match was found in his many trays of gems (surprising!), he assured me he would find one. On that day, I left my family-treasured, one of a kind, heirloom, irreplaceable watch with, for all intents and purposes, a complete stranger.Two and a half weeks passed (I wasn’t even thinking about it yet), and Mory called to say the watch was ready. HOLY COW! He had taken apart & cleaned the entire works and said it was very well crafted. He got technical, saying something about completely sealing it under pressure (i.e. in a vacuum) but still warned me not to swim with it on…as if! He refused to tell me how long he and a colleague spent looking for a suitable sapphire. And…he found a replacement crystal. He returned the old one to me and showed me the packaging from the replacement, which was original to the era. Someone, somewhere, has collected these things, and Mory knew to look for it. They hand polished the gold, protecting its original crafted texture. He provided an appraisal for insurance purposes and did not charge me a single cent over the quoted price. I am understandably ecstatic.Why did I tell you all of that? I could merely have stated: Mory is a PASSIONATE JEWELER who DEEPLY CARES about what he does, and he happens to have gained my COMPLETE TRUST. But wouldn’t all positive reviews say that? I wanted to tell the story behind that claim.In the year 2020, I took a chance and left an irreplaceable family heirloom from 1940 with Mory at Real Jewelers. It did not occur to me, until after the job was complete, that it is quite possible he cared about that watch more than I did. He certainly understood it better and worked to educate me about it. He was passionate about and put great effort into its repair and is understandably proud of the final outcome. I brought him scraps in a box; he returned to me a valuable treasure I can actually wear and, eventually, share with my daughter.Mory said to me, “Gold, diamonds, treasures…they have value when kept in a safe. But when you wear them, they have real value. When you care enough to wear a piece with sentimental value, why wouldn’t you have it look exactly the way you want?”I didn’t make that up. He really said that. This jeweler is a gem.

I needed to get an older Tag Heuer watch cleaned and tuned up. Mory was wonderful to work with and did an amazing job with my watch - looks brand new! Very reasonable prices. I will absolutely be back for my other watches and jewelery pieces.The business is located in the crystal city mall and parking was very easy. This shop is close to Mortons Steakhouse

Simply put this is the place to go for good quality jewelry, especially custom. I have had six pieces made over the years and each one was the best. I recently returned to this place after leaving the area 10 years ago. I received same day service on resizing four rings. Finished in 3 hours while my wife and I had lunch. Great work Mory!

Mory was professional, helpful, friendly, informative, and happy to indulge my various inquisitions. I came to Mory with an *unusual* custom job, and although he disclosed up front that he had never worked with the materials I wanted--he does do beautiful custom work, I stress that my job was unusual--he was happy to investigate and make an attempt. Although Mory ended up not being able to do what I wanted, he took a loss with no complaint, and I would definitely go back to him in the future.Its also worth noting that his prices are more than reasonable.

Real Jeweler is the best jewelry & watch store in the Northern Virginia area. I have known Maury, owner, & been a customer for over 17 years. Carlos, the technician, does great repair work & is very conscientious. Maury is an artist in designing jewelry & has created many pieces of beautiful & unique jewelry. The prices are reasonable.

Great service and assistance from Mory and his staff. Very knowledgeable and helpful, from new purchases to repair work. Very responsive with super quality work. When I resided in Northern Virginia, I shopped at this store for over 12 years. Now that I reside outside of Virginia, I return to this store because of trusted service. Super quality, great value, friendly, professional. When needed, repair work is prompt and completed so the item appears as if it was new. Highly recommend Real Jewelers at Crystal City Shops (underground). Overall, the is the go to jewelers for me for over 15 years now.

Mory, owner of Real Jewelers, is the only jeweler I trust with my diamonds. We almost got ripped off trying to buy my engagement diamond online, and we hired him back in 2014 to be our broker in the safe purchase and delivery of my future wedding ring diamond.This past month, I damaged the ring badly moving furniture and had to have the entire set cut off my finger. I live in Florida now, but got to Virginia to personally bring it to Mory for a complete rebuild (and get some other personal things done while there). His work is of highest quality, and my ring looks just as beautiful as the day my husband placed it on my finger. Mory is my jeweler for life, regardless of where life takes me!

I highly recommend Real Jewelers Inc at Crystal City Shops. Mory (owner) and Carlos (goldsmith) were always very professional and courteous, and designed the most beautiful engagement ring and wedding band for me.I first chose a garnet stone for the engagement ring back in August, but in May I asked them to change it to an amazing emerald diamond that Mory had in his store. It turned out to be a stunning new engagement ring, and they also surprised me by creating a pendant with the garnet free of charge and so that I could keep using it (for sentimental reasons).Can’t say enough good things about this experience, and will be visiting frequently to have my rings professionally cleaned (free of charge).

I had some broken chains, earrings and a few old rings and I took them to Real jewelers and they converted all of my gold scraps into three individual tri-color Cartier style solid 14kt gold bangles with eight tri-color diamonds. You have to see it to believe it . Highly recommended.

Review №22

I LOVE my wedding band. It is designed by the renown jeweler Alex Sepkus and bought at the Tiny Jewel Box on Connecticut Ave over 25 years ago. After my divorce I wanted to get it resized so I could wear it on my middle finger as stackable rings. It needed to be a size larger. I took it to 3 reputable jewelers in Potomac MD, and all 3 jewelers said that it could not be resized – in that it would ruin the design of the ring. It is an intricate design with small diamonds, rubies and sapphires. So I held on to the ring for many years, and recently thought I would try it again. I got the same result. Some girlfriends suggested that I cut it in half and make a pair of earrings. I couldnt bear to do that, so I thought I would sell it. I looked on eBay, The Tiny Jewel Box and Alex Sepkus’ website to determine price. I found the exact ring on eBay, and it was noted that the ring could not be resized.Finally a friend suggested that I take the ring to Real Jewelers Inc in Arlington, VA. That the owner could perform miracles with jewelry. I had reservations...but what did I have to lose. I really wanted to keep and wear this ring. I emphasized to the owner – Mory that if resizing the ring would ruin the design not to do it. Mori said don’t worry. I recently received the ring. O M G...it’s beautiful. You cannot tell where it was repaired. He mentioned that a couple of small diamonds were added. The integrity of the design is intact!! I’m totally amazed!. So f you have jewelry that needs to be modified or redesigned...take it to Real Jewelers. You won’t be disappointed. They will make it absolutely beautiful for you!! I’m still in AWE.After this, I took my Cartier watch to Real Jewelers as it had stopped working…thought it needed a new battery. Mory said that some of the movements had rusted. He took it apart and put it back together in top notch shape. I can now wear it again. Thank you Mory!

I recently purchased a necklace from Real Jewelers and I couldn’t be happier with the piece! I wanted a customized necklace and I felt like Mory really listened to me and understood what I wanted. He quickly drew a few sketches and immediately hit the nail on the head! He told me to come back in a few days to pick it up and I was FLOORED! The whole piece is hand made and extremely detailed. I’m truly convinced there’s nothing this man can’t do! Oh, and he’s one of the nicest and most honest people I’ve ever done business with. He’s got a customer for life in me.

I visited Real Jewelers to get my engagement ring appraised. The owner is very friendly, knowledgeable about Jewelry, and provides exceptional customer service. We were so pleased with our first experience that we went back to get a repair on another ring. We were really impressed with craftsmanship work done on the repair for the ring. We will definitely visit again as there is an array of beautiful jewelry pieces to choose from.

My daugther wanted a very simple gold bracelet for her birthday and we went to Real Jewelers to request a custom one. We showed them a picture of a similar bracelet that she liked and the owner created one that was nearly identical. Mory was responsive, so very friendly, and kind. We highly recommend Real Jewelers if youre looking for a knowledgeable, expert jeweler. Thank you, Mory!

Took my engagement ring in to get resized and received super prompt essentially same-day service! Brought it in last night right before close and the owner called me this morning as promised to give us a quote and time estimate. He was able to get it done by about 1pm today. Super quick service and the ring looks great! So glad I can finally wear it.

I needed an appraisal completed for insuring a recent purchase. Mory at Real Jewelers was eager to help and turned it around in less than an afternoon. The cost was fair, the appraisal sound, and the service friendly. Id recommend Real Jewelers to anyone needing an appraisal.

Think I will keep my boyfriend….for now --- Lol!I have my mother’s engagement ring that was bought in Switzerland 50+ years ago. I received the ring 20 years ago, and I wear it on holidays and special occasions in loving memory of her. Recently, my boyfriend said to me “Give me the ring, and I will take it over the moon”. Wow!..you won’t believe it! The 4 small diamonds that were in the center of the original ring were removed and the two diamonds were moved to each side of the ring. A 1.3 high quality brilliant diamond was placed in the center. It’s gorgeous! It’s better then I ever dreamed – way over the top. I love it, and you wouldn’t believe the compliments that I receive. It is a lot of BLING - but what the heck! You only live once!! If you need jewelry to be changed or enhanced...check out Real Jewelers. Mory is the best. Thank you so much!!

Excellent service and amazing prices! I purchased an engagement setting and wedding band here. I shopped everywhere Kays, Jareds, Blue Nile, etc and couldnt find the right one. I never would have imagined walking into a small mom and pop shop that I would have found what I am looking for. Not only did I find the perfect setting and band but it was significantly less than the big brand stores. Before going making the final purchase, I highly recommend making a visit here.

Just had a stunning ring made by Mory - he helped me pick the stone and was able to take an old family heirloom ring and copy the mold perfectly. The ring is beyond my expectations - its absolutely gorgeous! This is the second custom made ring Ive had made with Mory and I cant recommend him enough. Not to mention the prices are totally reasonable, certainly for the quality!

I went here for a simple new watch battery. I then watched as their tech slammed my watch with a mallet like it was piece of plastic. A jewel popped out of its place because of it. I went back and complained to only get choice words thrown at me by some teenager working the register who wanted to dodge liability. The owner agreed to fix it but the jewel popped back out shortly. I dont have the time or patience to return and get it fixed. But lets be clear, I do not recommend this store at all. Id give it negative stars if possible. Stay clear.

Located across from San Antonio Grill in the Shops, I discovered this full service jeweley store. Mory was attentively servicing other customers with repair needs. This gave me a moment to observe his style, expertise and customer service.After a few moments of good energy, I decided to trust Mory to order a sterling silver lobster claw swivel clasp for a pendant to be attached to a charm bracelet. Two days later I received Morys call that my item was ready for pick up. It was as imagined, at a good price and perfect.I look forward to future purchases.

Need the best jeweler around the area, stop by and see Mory! My husband has been going to Mory for all our jewelry needs. I live in San Antonio and not happy with the jewelers. Went to Mory this year and he knew what exactly what I wanted. Chose the best tanzanite earrings that fit me and I am a happy lady! He will be doing my 25th anniversary wedding set. It will be beautiful. You must see him for all your jewelry needs.
