My wife and I originally went to Charleston Alexander to purchase our wedding rings a few years back. We were extremely happy with the service we received. Our rings are beautiful and we received top notch service from our initial encounter to the receipt of our rings. When my ring was stolen, I did not think twice about returning to Charleston Alexander to get a replacement, despite the fact I no longer live in the same state. Karen was able to perfectly replicate my ring with a quick turnaround. I would definitely recommend this store to anyone without any complaint or reservation whatsoever.
Highly recommend anyone and everyone to go here for all your diamond and jewelry needs. I walked into the shop with little to zero knowledge about diamonds as I was shopping for an engagement ring. Duane assisted me in every way possible making the process smooth and easy. Duane and the owner truly care about the customer, they didn’t just try and sell me the most expensive diamond. They asked me what my budget was, what I was looking for and worked with me to find the the perfect engagement ring!Cannot express how grateful I am for Duane and the owner as the customer service is amazing. I had a last minute scare before my proposal and had to switch out the ring. I called Duane and told him my girlfriend wanted the halo ring with the simple single silver band. By the grace of God, they had the exact ring and size that fit the diamond I had already had. Duane was calm and told me not to worry, being the ring in and they’ll take care of me before I leave for my trip. He stood by his word and I picked up the ring and was able to propose to my now fiancé.This is my fiancé’s dream ring and I cannot thank Duane and Charleston Alexander Diamond Importers enough for helping me make this happen.
Dwayne and the team at Charleston Alexander are incredible. They have helped us select and purchase 5 pieces that are so special to us including wedding and engagement rings and push gifts. No one takes better care of their customers.
My parents have used Charleston Alexander Diamond before and recommended me to give this store a chance to find an engagement ring. I decided to schedule an appointment with them and that’s how I met one of their employees, Karen. Right away I knew I made the right decision coming to this store. When I told Karen what I was looking for she immediately gave me her phone number and asked me to send pictures of the ring I had in mind and any special requests I had. Sent that the information she needed and she told me I could come in the next day. Once I got to the store Karen was professional and showed me exactly what I was looking for. Smooth and easy transaction. I always had this preconceived notion that this process would be drawn out and it would take ages to complete. But, I got everything done within a couple of days! I was amazed and impressed on how well she did. Really got that feeling that Karen cares for all of her customers and gave me the undivided attention I needed to get the ring set I wanted. Thanks again Karen!
My fiancee and I went to Charleston Alexander to look for our wedding bands. Excellent customer service starting from the phone call to make the appointment, followed by the excellent advice from our Diamond Specialist Karen. She showed us all the options for wedding bands they have, and how they can be customized to our liking and budget. We were very impressed with the great selection of rings (so many brands!!), the quality and the great price!We found and ordered our rings, within our budget and more beautiful than we could have imagined!Thank you for making this a memorable experience!!!
I wish I could say I had the same experience as everyone else because everyone seems to love this place. Karen was lovely to work with but we never went over budget. When I was looking to purchase my wedding band, I handed them off my engagement ring because it was “customized” and they might need it for creating the wedding band and since they didn’t have the price, I told them to just let me know when you do. $2790 was the quote I received. It was way out of my budget so I asked if they had a discount. $2670 was the next price. Then I asked for the details of the ring because they had only showed me what the ring will look like but not what is in it. I received the details and then another price drop when I didn’t ask for another at that point at $2250. Then I started googling and found out that rings that had more diamonds and detail were cheaper than this price. I went to another jewelry store, gave her the details of the ring, and asked her if this was an appropriate price. She said I was being way overcharged and that ring should be sold closer to $1800. I told Karen about that and the owner came by with $1850. Needless to say, I would be VERY careful coming here without knowing what you are doing. I wrongly assumed I could come in here and be able to trust them in their work.
We have been coming to Charleston Alexander Diamond Importers for over a decade as our source for custom and fine jewelry. Highlights included my wifes engagement ring and eventually diamond wedding bands for both of us. When our 15th wedding anniversary was coming up and my wife expressed an interest in a tennis bracelet, there was no question where we would go. Once again Charleston Alexander delivered exceptional quality, value and service! Our Charleston Alexander advisor, Karen, was especially helpful in finding exactly what my wife wanted.
Best service, quality and prices! Love Karen, Dwayne and John. They are a great team and work seamlessly to create an amazing buying experience, always willing to help meet your budget. Love the wide array of selections and options.
Great experience! Duane and the team there were fantastic to work with, they helped me with everything from start to finish. Super helpful when it came to recommendations on different styles. They were also very upfront about quality, cost and all other information (most of which I didnt know when I walked in). They were very professional and very helpful - a friend recommended them to me, and I could not have been happier with the results.One thing I particularly liked was that my now-fiancee was stuck between two types of rings, but I wanted it to be a surprise so I couldnt take her with me to check them out. Duane showed me every possible variation of both, and spent a lot of time helping me decide between the two. Really dedicated to making sure I found what I was looking for. Thanks Duane!
Duane was extremely knowledgeable and helped me find the best ring for my forever love. He even helped me acquire a great wedding day gift when I picked up the wedding bands. Highly recommend Charleston and Duane!!
Karen from Charleston Alexander has been my go-to jeweler since 2015. She understands me and, more importantly my wife. She always provides a white glove service and their prices are better than their competitors for the same quality jewelry.
I and my fiance went to Charleston Alexander for engagement and wedding rings.Karen Wilson is an excellent diamond specialist, who was so patient with us and showed us all the best options while we were looking for something to solidify our relationships forever. And we made our best engagement and wedding rings choice here!Excellent customer service and is all the 5 stars out of five!Thank you, Karen!
I purchased wedding bands from Charleston Alexander, and I have to say I was truly impressed by both John’s and Karen’s expertise with helping me find the right bands. Both were very patient and it was great to not feel rushed or pushed. Charleston Alexander is a gem that sells gems and I’ll definitely go back for my next purchase.
Duane has been fantastic to work with. My fiancé purchased my engagement ring from them and we returned to also purchase our wedding bands. The rings and service are impeccable. Highly recommend!
I recently purchased an engagement ring at Charleston Alexander, and I was left amazed at the quality of service and diamonds they carry. For starters, I arrived without an appointment, however this did not deter Dwayne from taking the time to still answer my questions and educate me on how to pick the right diamond. Dwayne was extremely knowledgeable and made sure that I picked the diamond I liked without ever coming off as pushy (as I had experienced before). I highly recommend Charleston Alexander for anyone in the market for quality diamonds at very fair prices. Thank you Dwayne!
After losing my original wedding set I was devastated. But the staff at Charleston Alexander helped me in purchasing a new set. I am so in love with my new set. Thank you
I had a wonderful experience working with Karen for a 10 year wedding anniversary engagement ring. She always responded to my calls and was patient through the whole process. Charleston Alexander is my go to jewelry store!
If you’re looking for an amazing jewelry store with perfect quality and amazing customer service this jeweler is definitely the place to go. My son and I came here for a custom ring design for his fiancé and Duane was so helpful and made sure that my son got exactly what he was looking for. We will definitely use them as our jeweler from now on.
My husband came in this store with absolutely no knowledge of engagement rings at all. He walked in and was greeted immediately and in 5 mins knew what the 4 Cs was and knew exactly what he was able to get for his budget. It was the ring that I have always wanted and I absolutely love it!!! Ever since then we have both been telling all of our friends and family to come to this store for there rings as well.
My wife and I are proud to call Charleston Alexander our local jeweler! In August 2019, my (now) wife and I were looking for the perfect engagement ring. We looked everywhere. Charleston Alexander was the only place we felt comfortable purchasing the ring. Diamond Specialist Karen was so helpful. She helped us find the perfect ring! The owner Johnny was great to work with as well. After I purchased the engagement ring, I texted Karen in early 2020 and she helped us find the perfect wedding band to match my wifes glamorous ring! Karen helped us find the perfect wedding band. All GIA certified. The quality is amazing. Last month, we had our wedding celebration. My wife was looking for earrings for the wedding in August. I texted Karen and she and Johnny texted us a picture of earrings that matched our budget and what we were looking for. We stopped in to see the earrings in person and we bought them the same day! We enjoy visiting Charleston Alexander and Karen to get my wifes rings cleaned. We recommend this store, especially for special purchases that will last a lifetime. My wife would describe herself as picky and she knows what she likes. It says a lot about a store when my wife can find exactly what she loves. Thank you Karen and Johnny!
I went in with a very specific idea of what I wanted, and Duane helped talk me through the process with what I wanted and made it happen. The custom design process was easy, and their CAD rendering of the ring made it easy to make alterations and changes to the design. The final product looks gorgeous and I cant thank them enough. Highly recommend!
Charleston Alexander was amazing. When you walk in, be sure to ask for Duane. He was amenable to all of my requests and even changed the engagement ring design after Id made my first payment once I realized my gf wanted something else. I compared the price they quoted me with other jewelers and they were right up there with the best. Diamonds also come with GIA certificates and an official appraisal. I highly recommend Charleston Alexander and will definitely be doing business with them again.
Great place to work with. Their prices were incredible and they were very accommodating, informative, and helpful in choosing an engagement ring. Will be going back for any jewelry I need in the future.
Had a wonderful time getting my now fiancés diamond from Charleston Alexander, was looking for a 1.50ct GIA diamond, which was a little out of my price range, but John and Karen worked with me, even over the weekend to find the perfect diamond for fiancée in my range! Thank you to the team at Charleston
This is how buying jewelry should be. Charleston Alexander sets the bar very high with kindness, knowledge, and zero pressure. I just purchased a diamond band for my wife to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and couldn’t be happier with the entire process.Quality - they took the time to walk through everything related to metals and diamonds, weights, carrots, etc. and how it relates to price. It is amazing how the final product looks better than I expected!Price - very competitive and I’m happy to say they have options to keep the business and dollars LOCAL.I have a new jeweler; hard stop.
The man in the store that helped me was EXTREMELY helpful, I’m military and he worked with my pricing and did everything he could to get my fiancé exactly what I know she wanted. Very highly recommended coming to this location and I just wanna thank these people for doing what they did to help work with me.
Amazing experience at Charleston Alexander Diamond Importers. Customer friendly and very professional. They will help you find exactly what you are looking for. Their prices are also fair. I have ZERO complaints. This is the place to go if youre looking for anything jewelry related. Go in there and ask for Duane
Went to the Charleston Alexander with my fiancé to pick out a wedding ring for him and a new engagement ring for me. Ring shopping is very confusing and a nerve racking process. I am in sales and I don’t like the pushy approach, but Duane was perfect. We felt comfortable from the get go, told him what our budget was and what we were looking for. We were able to stay within our budget and the quality of the rings were amazing. I love my engagement ring so much, it’s exactly what I wanted and more.I could not recommend this place more. Definitely have to stop by here if you are in the market.
Great and Easy Experience.Great place with competitive pricing. Duane helped make the process of engagement ring shopping fun and easy, after visiting other vendors and being overwhelmed. My fiancee and I let Duane know exactly what we wanted and it exceeded our expectations once we received the engagement ring.My fiancee loves the ring, and was extremely happy.
My husband got my engagement ring at this location in 2015.This month, for my birthday, he agreed to have it upgraded and I was happy to go back to Charleston Alexander.Karen was not only knowledgeable about the jewelry, but she was very patient, she answered all my questions, allowed me to try all the rings I wanted, along with the ones she thought I would like and with the help of the owner John, I picked a beautiful ring that John designed and the wedding band to match.John agreed to put a rush order so I could have the ring ready in a couple of days.Karen and John exceeded my expectations, they were AMAZING and the quality of the jewelry is incredible... I am definitely going back
Thank you Duane for making the ring shopping experience an easy one. He explained the 4Cs of diamonds so well. Consistent and excellent communication via phone and e-mail too. This was my one and only stop as I was blown away by the experience.
John has been in this business his entire life and it shows...he was very attentive, thoughtful, and asked the right questions when helping me select the right piece. Additionally, he was willing to communicate with me directly after the purchase to make sure that everything came out the way I expected it. Thank you, John, and see you again soon!
Ive used Charleston Alexander for all the special pieces of jewelry which Ive purchased for my wife. I really appreciate the owner and his attention to detail. He remembers my wifes preferences and provides a variety of options.
I highly recommend Charleston Alexander for Mens wedding bands. I had no clue what I really wanted but Duane pulled out all of the trays filled with hundreds, maybe more of the Mens bands they have in stock for me to decide from. While I was selecting my wedding band, John came and helped my wife to be, create a custom made wedding band to match her engagement ring. It was a win win, one stop shopping for both of us. The Customer service and the selection they offer was top notch. And I have to add, I really appreciated the fact that they are following CDC Covid guidelines procedure as well. We have been in some places recently that do not require masks and I am not comfortable with that just yet. Thank you John and Duane!
Summary: This place is the best in town for rings AND customer service!Using two pictures I snipped from the internet, they were able to design and build the perfect engagement ring at a very reasonable rate.Full story: I went to a few shops not knowing exactly what I wanted, except for knowing that I wanted to marry my girlfriend of 4.5 years and that she deserved a beautiful ring. All shops went over some styles with me and essentially told me to come back when I decide on what I want.After consulting my GFs mother and researching styles I returned to one shop with a picture of my style and a family heirloom ring from my GFs mom who had said take this ring and use it to create the new ring. (It was a beautiful multi-stoned art-deco looking ring with .47 center diamond and some other small stones.)The first shop looks over the ring and my picture and proceeds to spend literally the next 30-40min trying to show and convince me to get one of the styles they had in their catalog. I kept saying can you just make one like in this picture and he would say well lets look at a ring I did like that last year and spend 10min clicking on the computer just to show me a ring that didnt look like my picture. After almost an hour of continued poor sales experience I left.Enter Charleston Alexander --> I Googled some places and gave Charleston Alexander a call. They were appointment only (excellent handling of COVID-19) and just so happen to have availability at that time. I rush down there and present my picture and heirloom. Upon looking it over the salesman says we can make that exact ring in your picture.Boom, that was easy!About the heirloom however, the setting style I had decided upon could only utilize the center stone as the other stones were not the right size and shape.(He could have tried to upsale me on incorporating the other stones into a different style but instead he actually recommended that I preserve the family ring as much as possible and only use the center stone as necessary for my setting choice). They had a technician on site that removed the family stone and I received a CAD design of my custom ring within two weeks. Upon my approval, the actual ring was ready within another two weeks. The CAD drawings looked amazing, and the real ring looked EVEN BETTER! Fast forward to the magical night of proposal on the Alexandria waterfront..... she said yes!!
I had a great experience at Charleston Alexander. This was the first place I began engagement ring shopping since it was close to my home. Duane showed me the styles I was interested in and in my price range. I found the perfect ring there, but didnt want to buy without shopping around elsewhere first. No sales pressure at all. I looked around locally and online and came back to Charleston Alexander two weeks later. Duane helped me with the specifics of the ring and ordered it that day. Fast forward 6 months and I returned to buy the matching wedding band and my own band. Great experience start to finish. highly recommend.
Jana was incredible to work with, and the setting of Charleston Alexander is very welcoming. I of course had never been engagement ring shopping before, so I started the engagement ring-hunt with my Fiance in March 2017, where Jana was wonderfully receptive to what she was looking for, and was able to find the perfect setting for my fiancé. Jana was originally referred to us by a friend, and it was easy to see why.Months later (September) I returned, and we were able to pick up right where we left off, She was not only able to remember the exact setting, but also my fiance’s sentiments towards it and others in the collection. We then started on the delicate, and overwhelming task of finding the diamond to suit the setting. There was a lot of back and forth in email and in person, based on what we each had found, and after a few missed opportunities (me not acting fast enough), we found it!We got all the paperwork and details in place, and she walked me through what we would be getting, answering all my questions.It was a beautiful stone, but it would take several weeks to arrive in the store (due to this particular one being overseas). Despite some potential hold-ups, Jana was able to make everything work! Ultimately, the Diamond arrived on a Thursday afternoon, Jana was able to have it mounted by Friday mid-day, and I proposed on Saturday! (Spoiler alert: she said yes!) This all was happening during one of the busiest work weeks I had ever had, and while I’m sure I also put undue stress on Jana, she was always polite, accommodating, and awesome!I got along very well with Jana, and with all of the associates in the store, and look forward to seeing them again soon!
Its a honor and privilege to get Charleston Alexander Diamond Importers to be part of the storyline for my wedding from start to finish. I confirm the professionalism and genuine honesty of Mr. John Sabet when it comes to providing exceptional customer service.From the first time I ever met Mr. Sabet, I felt at ease and warm, and I was amazed at how he rectified the issue I came across when I initially purchased my engagement ring and solved it without any problems.For that reason, I promised Mr. Sabet that I would return to buy my wedding band from his store and announce to all my friends and colleagues to come and visit his store to buy any jewelry and receive exceptional service .As I promised Mr. Sabet, I returned today and purchased my wedding band from his store. Honestly, all his staff that works for his store are highly experts, and everyone has the highest ethical standard of service. Everyone who works for Mr. Sabet caters to everyones needs as part of the family member. Once you come to buy from Mr. Sabets store, then you automatically become part of the family of Charleston Alexander Diamond Importers.I highly recommend his store for anyone to come and see for themselves. Thank you again for your time to read this, and I know for a fact that you will not be disappointed.Best Regards,Tebarek W.
Duane did a great job providing me with an engagement ring and wedding bands. He made sure all my needs were met, highly recommend Charleston Alexander
Great customer service! The great customer service is main reason why I chose them. I went to multiple jewlery stores from chains and CAD direct competitors. When your making a big expensive purchase you have some concerns but a diamond ring adds more anxiety naturally. CAD did a good job answering the many questions I had and I was able to find the perfect ring for my wife.
Made magic happen on a time crunch! I went to checkout the shop on a Saturday about an hour before close just to browse around, not knowing that I would be walking out having placed an order for the perfect engagement ring for my fiancé. The team had the ring ready for me in less than a week! Duane was extremely knowledgeable, patient, explained everything and answered all of my questions. I felt comfortable throughout the entire process and felt like I got a great deal. After presenting the ring we realized that It was a bit big so we brought it back to the shop to get resized which only took a couple days! I actually decided to check them out first given all of the google reviews of happy customers, and now Im one! Check out Charleston Alexander for yourself to experience the phenomenal customer service and product selection, dont forget to ask for Duane!
I cant say enough about the quality and service. We went to 4 or 5 different places looking for our engagement ring. Duane gave us the absolute best advice, explanation and guidance in selecting not just the diamond, but the setting itself. The quality of our selection is superb, amd we were very satisfied with the price. We could not be happier!
I strongly recommend Charleston Alexander. During the three times that I have been there this year, I received great personal service, and a great price. I will always be a life long customer!
My fiance proposed with a filler ring so that we could go engagement ring shopping together. We met with Duane on a Tuesday and I had my ring on a Friday! We never thought we would feel comfortable leaving having signed on the dotted line on the first day we met with Duane, but he was great! I told him the stye I was interested in, and he brought out a handful of diamonds that matched the description. He walked us through the similarities and differences between the diamonds in terms of the color and clarity (because all diamonds at Charleston Alexander are excellent cut, and I told him what carat we were interested in), and explained the differences in pricing. He gave his honest opinion about what he would do in the situation and we really trusted his suggestions. Once we picked the diamond, I told him what kind of setting I wanted, and he helped me pick the perfect one and in the perfect metals. We were a bit nervous to not see what the ring would necessarily look like ahead of time, but we were FLOORED on Friday with how perfect it was. Could not recommend Duane and the Charleston Alexander team more!
I had the best experience today. I came in to get an engagement ring and Duane helped me get the best quality ring for the best price. He took his time and great customer service.
Charleston Alexander is where the diamonds were when I was ready to get engaged. Karen’s attention guided me through the search process until finding the ring that was “just right”.It was no wonder that I returned months later with my fiancee to search for wedding bands. Karen and Duane partnered to provide excellent service even amidst 2020’s tumultuous spring.Now married, my wife’s band ran into some misfortune in a household accident. Duane and CA ownership reacted swiftly to return her band to its original condition.Charleston Alexander is were the diamonds will ever be as far as we’re concerned!
John and CAJ are the best in town! We shopped them all and decided to buy from John. He found us the perfect stone and created us a true masterpiece! Truly a pro at making customers happy as is his passion! Highly recommend!!
I purchased my wifes engagement ring, as well as both our wedding rings, from Charleston Alexander. The customer service is absolutely outstanding, as is the quality and variety for the prices. I worked with Jana Krnacova from my very first day at Charleston. Her knowledge and insight into the type of rings my wife and I wanted impressed me from the very beginning. At our first meeting, she spent over an hour introducing me to all the aspects of a diamond and how to determine what it was that I valued in an engagement ring. I provided her my budget and she actively monitored their diamond intake. Within a few weeks, she had contacted me with a ring that she thought was perfect (and well within my budget). IT WAS! I then continued to work with Jana for our wedding bands. Again, she provided outstanding service. For myself in particular, I wanted a grooms wedding band that was somewhat different from the traditional plain band. Jana found the perfect designer for me, and now every day when I look down at my left hand and see my wedding ring I smile. Charleston Alexanders prices are extremely competitive in this costly market. They offered me a 50% discount on my wifes engagement ring band since I bought the diamond from them. We also received several discounts and price matches on our wedding bands. In short, I am confident in saying I could not find a better price for the rings we purchased anywhere else! I would use them for any of my jewelry needs in the future and am always looking for excuses to go back in and visit the staff just to say hello. 5 of 5 stars!
Charleston Alexander is one of the best jewelers Ive been to, head and shoulders above the competition. Duane, is an excellent representation of quality customer service.
Duane and the Charleston Alexander staff made me feel like family. I originally drove out one day they were closed (lol) then came back the next day. When I first met Duane, I showed him a picture of the engagement ring my fiancée wanted and he said he could do it without a doubt! I still needed time to think on it so I waited a little longer. When I came back the second time, Duane still remembered my name and what I was looking for which made the process personal and easier to work with him and the company! That second visit I bought the ring, it was ready super quick and my fiancée LOVES it!!
My husband purchased me a new engagement ring for my birthday. Once we received it we decided to purchase a new wedding band that would compliment the new stone. We found a ring that we liked at Charleston Alexander and my husband contacted the store. John was able to help us and did so on his day off. We purchased the ring, the jewelry made it and it was shipped to us overnight with the assistance of Dwayne. It was so beautiful (It was an emerald diamond cut platinum band.) and the perfect accent for my princess cut solitaire. However, we choose the wrong size. But not to worry John told us to send it back and they resized the ring for us. John and Dwayne were so helpful. BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!
Exceptional service. John walked us through the custom design process and helped pick exactly the right stone for the ring. No rush, no pressure, just top quality service.
I had a great experience finding an engagement ring here. Dwayne helped me find the perfect ring and within my budget. My visit here was based solely on reviews from online so I had dropped in without an appointment and left with a ring on order and available within a week and a half!
Abrupt to the point of being abrasive. Nothing in cases. Actually sent me away because they dont sell mens items.
I want to say thank you to Charleston Alexander for making my wife so happy on two occasions with absolutely custom-made diamond Rings.They delivered a service and products Beyond my expectation. Not to mention that the cost was The most competitive in the area!
Had a great experience with the Charleston Alexander staff. Duane was extremely helpful and willing to work with us on our budget to find the perfect engagement ring. Visited a few other stores, but I would recommend Charleston Alexander to anyone I know.
After reading the reviews i decided to check this place by myself and what can i say? Reviewer never wrong! This place is amazing and not just because of the variaty of excelent stones they have but most of all for the kind and very friendly service.Karen was the lady who helped me choose the right diamond and she was absolutely amazing!She was very helpful, very kind, extremely knowledgeable and most importantly very patient! She went back and forward and brought different diamonds and was not pushing me to buy without being 100% sure I do the right choice (for the diamond, not the fiance 😉)Eventually I choosed this place to buy the ring for the love of my life and I do not regret it.Thanks again Karen for your time and patience, and for the kind service.PS. Big thanks to the staff who made adjustments to the ring after the proposal. (was too big..silly me trying to guess a woman finger size LOL..)
My fiancé customized the ring here for me and it’s gorgeous great quality! We visited several other jewelry stores and honestly this was the best one. I highly recommend.
My fiancé is very particular when it comes to details and Duane at Charleston Alexander was very helpful and knowledgeable. You always feel like family when walking in and they are very helpful with any of our needs. The turn around and quality is also perfect, which is hard to find. I would recommend them to anyone!
My husband got my engagement ring here 4 years ago and we have been happy with them ever since! All of the employees here have been friendly and helpful. They remember me when I come in to have my ring cleaned, and I was delighted when I found it was easy to have a repair done when one of my small stones came out of my ring. Recently my husbands ring needed repair. Even though I bought his ring while I was still living out of state, since the ring was one of the designers Charleston Alexander works with, they made it easy to have fixed. The repair was one that we had to send the ring in to the designer, but Rick Ramadan at Charleston Alexander made the process easy and made sure I got the best deal. Plus the ring came back looking just like new!Im always pleased with my experience here, and would highly recommend Charleston Alexander!
Charleston Alexander is awesome. My brother lives locally and has been a customer of the store for sometime. I live in New England. When I couldnt find anything here I liked, he told me to contact Karen Wilson. Karen is awesome and helped me pick out an awesome ring for my wife. She was able to send me pictures of her selection so that I could pick something that fit my wifes style and my budget! Ultimately I settled on a beautiful ring for a great price. Karen was able to get it sized quickly and shipped overnight in time for Christmas. Anytime I need jewelry I will be going back to Karen.
Karen at Charleston Alexander in Falls Church was absolutely amazing. She helped us pick out the perfect ring and gave us so many options on diamonds, unlike another big name store in the area. From the moment we walked in to the moment we purchased the ring we felt welcomed and listened to.The ring we chose was custom and has come out perfectly. My fiance is so happy and everyone is blown away by how beautiful it is.We will be going back there for any future purchases and definitely for our wedding bands.Update April 2015.We went back in to purchase our wedding bands and we could not be happier. The customer service is amazing and I cant stress enough that Karen is an awesome consultant. I had planned to purchase something else, but you know how wedding expenses go. They were going to work with me and give me a great price on a beautiful piece.They always make you feel extremely welcome and I honestly feel like they are the best jeweler in the area.I highly recommend Charleston Alexander if you are planning to purchase jewelry, an engagement ring, or your wedding bands.
My husband and I bought a wedding set here 6 years ago, and it was time for a diamond upgrade and redesign. With so many choices I felt completely overwhelmed. Rick Ramadan came to the rescue! We visited the store 3 times and each time I changed what I wanted. Rick was so patient and kind with me. He wanted me to be completely happy and get exactly what I wanted, which even I wasnt sure what that was. By the last visit I was so thrilled with the end result, I couldnt believe it. Had Rick not taken the extra time and effort I would have been heartbroken with my initial decision. Thank you Rick for being one of a kind and not rushing me. You have no idea how grateful I am for your patience and sense of humor!
I looked around at quite a few places until I came to this store and they were the perfect fit for me. Great prices, custom work, they have several designer brands and they do free inspections and cleaning.Plus they have a great staff that are wonderful to work with. Id like to thank Jana for helping me decide the best purchase that would mean the most. Ill definitely be recommending Charleston Alexander to my friends and family
I bought my wifes wedding and engagement rings at Charleston Alexander over four years ago. They needed to have the pave stones tightened and a couple needed to be replaced. We dont live in the area, but Rick Ramadan was able to expedite the repair so that we were able to take them home with us instead of having to ship via FedEx. That was amazing service by Rick and now the rings look like the day I originally bought them. Thanks again Rick!
I’m sooooo happy and thankful for the engagement ring. My Queen and soon to be wife said yes!!!!! We getting married February 24, 2021. Thanks to Mr. Duane L’Esteve and Mr. John Sabet. You guys treated me like a family. You welcome me into the store with open arms. I’ll recommend anyone to visit this location 5924 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church, VA 22041. Great customer services.
My husband and I recently purchased a wedding set from Charleston Alexander. An overall excellent experience, the entire staff was very welcoming. We want to especially thank our sales agent Karen Wilson. Ms. Wilson was amazing and provided impeccable service. She was professional, knowledgeable, and patient through the entire process. She provided suggestions and detailed information regarding diamonds and ring selections. We were going out of town the day the ring was ready, the jeweler was able to size the ring in the hour before the store closed. Highly recommend Charleston Alexander and remember to ask for Karen Wilson.
This is a special thank you to Charleston Alexander associate, Benita V. After shopping a few other places in the DC area for a specific gemstone pendant, I stopped in Charleston Alexander for a quick look around.You never really know what kind of experience youll receive at jewelry establishments, but my experience at Charleston Alexander was quite extraordinary. Benita greeted me with a very friendly smile and took me through their selection of pieces that fell under my criteria. At no point did I feel pressure to make any decisions or to commit to buying. Benita let me look at several beautiful necklaces at varying price points so that I could get a feel for what my money could buy. She even made calls to inquire about having a specific piece made just for me.I was unable to make a decision though, so Benita suggested that I come back over the weekend because they were having a special event showcasing jewelry from some of their partners. I did end up coming back and purchased a gorgeous necklace for my wife.I cant say enough about the hospitality Benita and the whole team at Charleston Alexander showed me during the process. They were all very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. If youre looking for a unique jewelry shopping experience you should absolutely pay them a visit. Youll be happy you did.
A big thank you to Rick at Charleston Alexander for designing and creating a beautiful ring out of my wedding necklace! I rarely wear necklaces but have rings on every day, but was still worried about deconstructing the pendant that is so near and dear to my heart - he did an amazing job in matching the stones perfectly, and even putting a barely noticeable mark on the underside of the ring for me so that I will know which are the originals from my wedding day and which were added to fill in the design. Thank you so much!
If you want to find a perfect ring go to Charleston Alexander in Falls Church and ask for Jana. She is absolutely the best at what she does!She helped me to find a perfect stone and was very attentive and followed up with me on every stage of the process.We picked the stone and ordered it from their online website. But before my stone was shipped she did an additional quality control to make sure that it’s perfect. Unfortunately, it didn’t pass her quality check and she noticed some “cloud” inside it. Jana called me and told me about it even though I wouldn’t be able to notice it with the naked eye. She then found and ordered a different stone that was a much better quality and more expensive than the one I originally ordered but let me have it for the same price!!!When I came to pick up my ring I was absolutely in love with it! It’s PERFECT!!!Thank you Jana!!! You are the best!!!
My experience with Charleston Alexander was World Class from the start to beginning. They have an amazing selection and even better prices to make sure that you can get the ring that you want and not spend more than you have to. I would like to say a special thanks to Karen and Duane. Karen was an expert on diamonds and the look that goes best with each band, design and diamond you are looking for. If you want to have someone who knows what they are doing ask for Karen. Duane is awesome, he is the exact opposite of a sleazy salesman! He is looking out for the best interest of his guests and he wants to make sure that you are taken care of above making a sale. He is a true gentleman and I would recommend asking for him anytime! Above all I want to say thank you for making the process of buying an engagement ring easy and stress-free you are truly professionals and great at what you do. My fiance shows her ring off to everyone and everyone asks where we got it from! I always say Charleston Alexander and I will recommend you guys to anyone who asks!
Absolutely amazing experience. The staff is top notch, very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. They didnt try to force a sale or pressure me one way or another, but took their time to work with me and go through all options until I was completely satisfied. With the professional assistance and knowledge of the incredible staff (Karen Wilson), I was able to acquire an engagement ring whose beauty far surpassed any other ring I have ever seen. If you are looking for something special, something that truly stands apart from all others, than Charleston Alexander is where you should start.
Rick Ramadan assisted me and I couldnt be happier with the service he provided. He is extremely knowledgeable and a real expert when it comes to diamonds. I felt very informed and comfortable throughout the whole experience and he was patient answering all of my questions and addressing any concerns I had. If you or your friends and family ever need expert advice when it comes to diamonds, Rick is the way to go!
Came out of there with a big smile on my face. The smile on my fiances face, after I gave her the ring, was even more impressive. Karen was very accommodating. She answered all of my numerous questions with patience and knowledge. Engagement ring shopping should be an experience worthy of lifetime memory. Karen made that so; excellent service. In fact I never felt like I was sold anything. She merely facilitated me finding the absolute perfect ring for my bride to be. Equally important was that I walked out of there feeling I had paid the right amount, although you shouldnt put a price on the happiness that was to follow.
KAREN is outstanding! My now fiance went into Charleston Alexander to purchase me an engagement ring. He worked with a wonderful diamond specialist. Her name was Karen Wilson. He said that Karen was extremely helpful to him every step of the way. She even asked to see my photo (a special touch) so she could ensure the ring fit my personality. She and the the manager Duane LEsteve worked with my now fiance to design my ring. Needless to say I love the ring! And since then, I have had the opportunity to visit Charleston Alexander and meet both Karen and Duane. They are extremely customer service oriented. And they have a beautiful selection of rings and any other jewelry that your heart desires. You will not be disappointed! The jewelry will entice you but the outstanding service will make you a customer for life!
I had an amazing experience with Karen at Charleston Alexander. Karen, helped me find the perfect setting and diamond. Karen and John (owner ) shared their personal opinion with me about the ring which made me happier. I had been to several stores but never felt comfortable and happier this much. I will definitely buy our wedding bands here too and recommend the store to our friends and family members. If you are looking for an amazing experience with a quality, I recommend this place without doubt and questions. From now on I am their life time customer. I will definitely be going back there for any future purchases.
My husband and I have purchased an engagement ring, two wedding bands (one being custom made) and another ladies diamond ring from Charleston Alexander. We have been extremely happy with the quality and value of all rings. The custom wedding band was exactly as we have hoped and after 12 years of wear we still receive compliments. While there are several jewelry stores closer to our home, we continue to come to Charleston Alexander for polishes and cleanings and every time the customer service is top notch. For any future purchases we may make we will always visit Charleston Alexander.
Amazing staff, very helpful, attentive and knowledgeable. After buying our engagement ring and wedding bands from here, we continue to come back to ensure they are maintained, cleaned and as good as the day we purchased them. Thanks for everything!! Highly recommend!
Amazing service! The men and women there are very informed and clearly professionals. When explaining things I felt that they were sincere and not condescending. Cant wait to come back when I get married.
Highest Recommendation:Rick Ramadan and the owner of Charleston Alexander executed the utmost in customer service for my engagement ring. Not only did they welcome me as I brought my family heirloom center piece but they treated me with the utmost customer service excellence and care. Rick and the owner worked on my behalf to find the engagement setting I wanted then provided a superior turn around time. Every step of the way they did everything they promised to do. Trust is hard won and easily lost. Rick and Charleston Alexander, through many interactions, earned my trust and my repeat business.
Recently brought my Tacori wedding band in to be sized and cleaned after purchasing it at Charleston 12 years ago and I must say it looks absolutely amazing!! It’s as gorgeous as the day I bought it and can’t believe I waited so long. I couldn’t be happier! The service was top notch and to top it off, it didn’t cost me a dime. Great service, gorgeous band = happy customer. Thank you Rick :)
My husband purchased my engagement ring from Charleston Alexander, and he had such a pleasant experience, we returned to have a matching wedding band made there. My engagement ring band is almost entirely surrounded by diamonds, and my wedding band is an eternity wedding band. Unfortunately,but possibly as expected given the setting, a stone has fallen out of my engagement ring band more than once, and Charleston Alexander has been quick to come to the rescue to fix my ring in a timely and efficient manner, and it looks good as new after the repair! More recently, I lost a stone for a second time, and as a courtesy, they replaced and repaired my ring free of charge-- truly above and beyond my expectations! The great customer service, attention to detail, willingness to be of assistance, and knowledge of fine jewelry makes this a wonderful place to shop and know you will be satisfied. I absolutely recommend Charleston Alexander for any and all jewelry needs!
In 2011, I visited several jewelers in the Northern Virginia area to purchase my now-wife’s engagement ring. The only place that made me feel comfortable purchasing such an important symbol of love was Charleston Alexander. They made me feel welcome by listening to me, understanding my needs, appropriately voicing their opinion, and applying their expertise. My wife and I went back and purchased our wedding rings.In current times, my wife accidentally hit her hand and rings on her desk at work, dislodging one of the smaller diamonds on her wedding band. Luckily she was able to find it. We brought the ring and diamond back to Charleston Alexander and were promptly greeted by the same customer service we originally encountered seven years earlier. Mr. Rick Ramadan educated us on why the diamond dislodged and what we could do to prevent a situation like this in the future (including coming in for more regularly scheduled cleanings and inspections). Additionally, Mr. Ramadan graciously waived the regular repair fee!From my experience, the customer service I received in 2011 was not just a “mask” to sell me merchandise. Charleston Alexander really does care about it’s customers, and I can’t imaging myself buying a piece of jewelry or diamond from another store/merchant.
Duane and the rest of the team at Charleston Alexander is great. They custom made an engagement ring for my fiance, and went above and beyond in making sure it was beautiful. We then purchased our wedding rings from them. Her band wasnt exactly as she envisioned it, and they went the extra mile making sure it was just what she wanted. They did it with a smile and genuinely wanted us to be happy. Great customer service, quality, and store hours. Well be back.
Rick Ramadan did a fabulous job with helping me out with my engagement ring repair. Not only did my repaired ring look brand new but so did my wedding bands. He provided excellent customer service. 5 stars for Clarleston Alexander and Rick Ramadan.
My boyfriend, Alex, and I have been shopping for engagement rings and came into Charleston Alexander a few weeks ago. We were blown away by the incredible customer service that was provided by Jana. Alex and I have been to several other competitors and weve always felt the pressure to have to buy the perfect diamond, and the perfect ring. As soon as we sat down, Jana made us feel at ease. She worked with what both Alex and I were looking for. She was very informative and did not once pressure either of us to pick the most perfect diamond. She was honest and very helpful. We both walked out of there confident and satisfied with our experience. I would recommend anyone looking to buy an engagement ring to make their first appointment with Charleston Alexander.
One of the largest collections of diamonds in DC metro area at a highly competitive price. Do your homework about diamonds before getting there. A lot of avaialbke diamonds can be checked online to fit ones needs and budget. Also recommend going there with a jewelry design in mind before visiting the store. Just for a ring or any diamond jewelry, this is the best place at best price.
Last fall, Jana, one of the diamond and jewelry specialist at Charleston Alexander went out of her way to help me find a beautiful diamond for my wifes engagement ring. However, Jana also stressed value, and wanted to ensure that I didnt overspend, which displayed how Charleston Alexander acts in the best interest of the customer. I appreciated the hassle free experience and my wife loves her ring.
Charleston Alexander made our engagement dreams come true! We went in to look and feel in love with a diamond & setting. Thanks to the help of Karen, we really felt like we had time to look at every option. She was patient and really tried to pull styles based on my likes and dislikes. It was the perfect way to go ring shopping. We then went on a preplanned trip to London & Paris where he popped the question! It was an amazing experience, and we cant thank CADI and Karen specifically for their help. We will be back to look at wedding bands :-)
We spent an afternoon with Jana and came away with the perfect engagement ring. I have never seen someone care so much about making sure we came away with something worth every dollar that we spent. The amount of care and time she put in to making sure we were happy customers was truly appreciated. Charleston Alexander is lucky to have her as an employee. We would recommend her for a consultation to anyone.
Dont go anywhere else. Im the type of guy to research and get the best deal I can on everything I buy. I walked in knowing the exact specs I wanted and my budget (based on Blue Nile, Rare Carat, and James Allen). I was expecting the same treatment as I received from Washington Diamond, feeling of belittlement and unreasoning. All the establishments I walked into never gave me what I wanted and tried to make me spend an extra $2k over my budget to meet my specs. At Charleston Alexander, I got a better quality diamond than what I set my parameters to be within the budget I had. I got the diamond I wanted and she said yes. Thank you Charleston Alexander, highly recommending to all my friends.
I would like to thank & appreciate for the high level of service I received from Karen Wilson while picking out my engagement ring yesterday. I was referred by my cousin who purchased a wedding ring couple of years ago in which he advised me that Charleston Alexander Diamonds have an exceptional service and have a high quality selections of rings.After I arrived, I noticed that the ring I picked online was not available at the store, but the website indicated that it was available.However, after realizing that the ring was not available onsite, Karen first asked asked me to pick from different types of rings that are similar to my initial ring they have available in store.After I chose the ring she spoke directly with the owner (John Sabet) to find ways on how to better accommodate me because of prices difference.After John realized the circumstances he made an arrangement to accommodate by giving me a comparable price from the initial ring I picked.He had stopped by before I left the store and he told me personally that he looks forward in attaining customer satisfaction and retention that just aiming for profit.Thats why they have been around for over 30 years & I highly recommend this place.
My Fiance went into Charleston to get a wedding present for me. He said Rick, who also helped us with my engagement ring and our wedding bands, recognized him as soon as he entered. He also said Rick was very patient and helpful, and as a result I received a beautiful diamond/sapphire pendant necklace!! Charleston Alexander has always been a great experience for us. The staff, especially Rick, has been beyond fair and helpful. I highly recommend this store for anyone needing any type of jewelry, you will not be disappointed!!
Thank you to Rick Ramadan!Our Charleston Alexander ExperienceMy husband and I got married 20 years ago, at that time we could not afford an engagement ring. Three years after we were married my husband did extensive research and decided that he was going to surprise me with a beautiful 3 stoned (3rd year anniversary) diamond engagement ring from Charleston Alexander which is 54 miles from our home. The ring was absolutely beautiful. Fast forward to November 2018 and my husband surprises me again with another trip to Charleston Alexander for a 20 yr anniversary surprise. We came in with no appointment, (I highly recommend you make one before coming due to how busy they get) and Rick Ramadan made sure to help us even though he currently had appointments scheduled. He spent so much time with my husband making sure he had plenty of choices and really listened to my husbands wants. The rings that my husband got me were absolutely stunning and amazing. The quality, color and cut was beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of, and driving the 54 miles again was well worth it. Thank you Charleston Alexander and Rick Ramadan for going out of your way to accommodate us on such a busy day and giving us such wonderful customer service, awesome quality and a stress free experience, I love my new wedding set!
Great products, service and prices! I recommend Charleston Alexander to all my friends in the greater DC area. Honest jeweler with integrity. 5 stars all the way!
My fiance and I both got our wedding bands from Rick Ramadan. He was extremely helpful and very professional. He worked with in our budgets to help us find bands that we loved and didnt settle for. My fiance also worked with Jana Krnacova for my engagement ring. Jana was extremely helpful as well. We have recommended all our friends to go here and work with either Jana or Rick.
John and Duane are absolutely amazing. We had an issue with the band I bought my fiancé, and John and Duane replaced it for us on the spot, completely free of charge. Not to mention Duane was incredibly nice and accommodating during both of our visits. The ring is absolutely spectacular and we couldn’t be happier. Overall, they sell top notch products and their customer service is unbeatable. Consider us lifelong customers!
We went in to replace some earrings that were lost. Rick and the staff there were great! Took the time to find out what we needed. They also have is a great deal on earrings for our daughters sweet sixteen. I definitely recommend Charleston Alexander. Fair, friendly and a great selection.
