Justin Carmody is the best! Everyone there is a specialist! I could feel that we were going to be taken care of by professionals the moment we entered. I didn’t have any doubts with Justin’s expertise and experience. This is an outstanding jewelry store. We were able to sell our previously purchased diamond solitaire ring from elsewhere and select a beautiful diamond eternity band with mesmerizing clarity and color. The quality in their fine selection is superior. Finally, my girlfriend is happy!

Went because I saw another review so I went and it was really simply to sell my 2 gold bars. Keith made the process super easy for my first time selling and had a good convo in the store. Highly recommend

I have worked with Justin and Keith for over 25 years. They earned my business in the first item I purchased. They refunded me money when the diamonds that they charged me for weighed less what they charged. They could have taken advantage of me and I would have never known. I have referred all my friends to them and everyone has a great experience. These guys are the best.

I have purchased numerous watches, diamonds and all sorts of jewelry for well over 25 years. Justin and Keith are a pleasure to talk to, do business with, and most importantly they made me feel like a friend not just a customer.

This was an overall great experience! We worked with Keith in buying both an engagement ring and wedding bands. The rings were custom and they turned out exceptional. Everything was done in a timely and stress free manner. I would highly recommend the Diamond Exchange USA to anyone!

Not very pleasant people to work with. I only needed to sell some jewelry and they were super cold and unwelcoming.

I sold a gold coin and a gold ring. These guys are responsive, fair, and fast. Also very friendly and willing to take the time to explain some of details to allow me to better understand the process and the value. I had the option if cash or check. Could not have been easier.

A+ experience. Getting an engagement ring was a long process, and I was not impressed by most of the big retailers.Some were pushy or unfriendly, or had that used-car salesman approach. Others were nice and knowledgeable, but the prices were exorbitant and customization was limited because they had designs from specific, high-profile designers.Diamond Exchange was the best blend of all the positives without the negatives, as long as youre OK with it being a smaller store in an understated location. Justin was fantastic to work with. Very patient, knowledgeable, friendly and fair. Their designer may not have a famous name, but his work was spectacular and actually once I gave the thumbs up on the 3-D model, the ring was finalized very quickly.They also buy/appraise and even bought some older gold rings we didnt want anymore at a slightly better price than local pawn shops.At a minimum, if youre considering buying/designing jewelry, pay these guys a visit and see how you feel walking out compared to when you leave some of the usual suspects. I bet youll walk away more satisfied at Diamond Exchange. Justin, once again, thank you sir for everything!

I recommend the Diamond Exchange in Rockville. Keith was competent and professional, and they offer more fair prices as compared to their local competitors.

After going to multiple jewelry and diamond stores searching for an engagement ring I was just about to give up. The research I did online was not adding up to the prices I was receiving and I was becoming very frustrated with pushy salesman and pressure to finance and open up a line of credit with their store. I was so thankful to have found and stopped in to Diamond Exchange USA. They were so nice, helpful and patient throughout the entire process. I walked in, told them what I was looking for, gave them my budget and within 15 min we found exactly what I was looking for. I picked the ring up the next day...a diamond set in a band overnight I was amazed. Katie was the one helping me the entire time and was so knowledgeable and patient with all my questions. When first looking at diamonds she did not show me anything I couldnt afford, did not bring out some fancy light that only diamond stores have to show me all the details that are invisible to the naked eye, and best of all did not ask for my social security number to open up a line of credit or how I was to finance something I couldnt afford. Straight and to the point, after I had picked a diamond she then showed me the details of that specific diamond. If it were not for Diamond Exchange USA and Katie I probably would not be happily married right now...Im not kidding. I bought the engagement ring and my wife and I came back for the wedding band also. I hope Diamond Exchange USA is around forever, Ill never go anywhere else! Thank you SO MUCH KATIE!!!! I walked out of there so happy and relieved, I got great rings for great prices! Thank you, see you all soon!

I went to this great little boutique jewelry store to purchase an engagement ring and they were extremely helpful. Katie, in particular, was very patient and explained everything that we needed to know. She brought out a large variety of options and went through the details of each one thoroughly. I had a great (and enlightening!) experience here.Highly Recommended!

I contacted several different companies that buy and sell gold in Washington DC. Prior to calling each, I read up on how much you should receive as a fair price for 10, 14, 18 karat scrap gold per gram. I was surprised at how dumb the people at the shops that buy and sell gold play when you call on the phone. They refuse to give prices until you visit them. Then when you waste your time going to their shops they try to rip you off hoping your stupid. Being totally frustrated and ready to give up I contacted The Diamond Exchange USA in Rockville, MD. It was the only company that was very happy to give me information over the phone about the value of 14 and 18 Karat scrap gold per gram and held to their word when I arrived. Their offer per gram was within the guidelines of fair pricing that I researched. Keith was straight forward honest and made the entire transaction easy. He was respectful of my time and made my experience exceptional. I will never waist my time again, but will go directly to Diamond Exchange USA. if I want to purchase or sell. My drive from Washington DC was so worth it. Thank You Keith. You have not just earned a customer but an advocate.

We worked with Katie for both our engagement ring and wedding bands and she was awesome. She took time to educate us and there was no pressure. Her only goal was ensuring we picked the perfect ring and were completely satisfied. The finished product is stunning and I have received compliments by everyone who has seen it.The value and quality of the Diamond Exchange far exceeds any of the chain jewelry stores we visited. We will continue to use and recommend them for all of our jewelry needs.

I have been a customer of Diamond Exchange for over 10 years now and whenever I need beautiful pieces designed I simply call up Keith and tell him what I want and the magic starts. They are the best. I haven’t purchased any jewelry from the mall since I found Diamond Exchange. Stop in and ask for Keith and say Mona sent me, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Keith, you did it again.

I recently bought an engagement ring from Diamond Exchange. At the beginning of the process I was completely clueless. The staff at Diamond Exchange educated me on diamonds and beat the prices of all the competition. When I picked up the ring I could not believe how beautiful it was. I will 100% recommend Diamond Exchange!

I recommend the Diamond Exchange in Rockville for their fair prices for buying gold. I checked other businesses in the region and Diamond Exchange’s purchase price was the highest. They gave me $3 more per gram than what I would have gotten elsewhere. I worked with Keith Grymes, and he was very professional and competent. I highly recommend!

My wife brought in some gold to sell for her mom (my mother in law) and was blown away by the service she received from Justin! She also had her ring cleaned and received awesome service. She didnt realize shed lost one of her diamonds, and found out that it would be replaced at no cost! She was blown away. I recommend Diamond Exchange to all who prefer quality service! Thanks Justin!

The whole Diamond Exchange team is awesome! Keith in particular helped my fiance design the ring of my dreams. When I saw the ring for the first time I was in shock from how beautiful and perfect it turned out. From what my fiance told me about his experience, Keith was fair, responsive and made the whole process smooth and stress-free.My wedding band was also made here and it also came out perfect. Do not go anywhere else for your wedding ring needs!!

Just replaced my lost wedding ring with a custom piece from the Maryland Diamond exchange. My diamond is beautiful and flawless. I simply gave them a pic of want I wanted, I picked out my center diamond and in three weeks I have exactly what I asked for. I have a high quality ring for a fraction of the price. Great Job! Thanks

Justin was patient and so helpful in picking out the perfect diamond to have a ring made!! Once we picked up the ring after it was tailored made, we were blown away with the quality and beauty. Thank you so much, Justin!! We will be back!

This review is long overdue. We got my custom engagement ring and our weddings bands here. Showed Keith a picture of what I want and his designer made the piece even more special than the picture. I couldnt decide between 2 styles of the wedding band. Keith had a wax mold created so I could feel the difference. The personal touch was much appreciated. I felt comfortable with the whole process. Keiths team is patient, knowledgeable, and give excellent service. I highly recommend DEUSA!

I have bought numerous high end watches and pieces of jewelry from this store. Keith, Justin and the rest of the staff are knowledgeable and have the best prices by far on high end watches and jewelry. I highly recommend Diamond Exchange.

I looked on-line to find a jeweler to sell an older 30 year old Rolex watch. I called and spoke with Keith on the phone. I arrived 30 minutes later. It took Keith about 15 minutes and he made me a very fair offer right about where I was hoping to sell the watch. He and the other employees were friendly and helpful. It was a great experience. I would recommend Keith and Diamond Exchange.Alan S

As a first time ring buyer, this was a very stressful experience for me. Justin at the Diamond Exchange did a fantastic job walking me through the process and showing me the differences in diamonds. Through working with Justin and the Diamond exchange, I was able to get the EXACT unique setting and a fantastic diamond for my fiancee. It made me very happy to give my fiancee the exact ring she wanted and she was extremely happy with the ring. I strongly recommend the Diamond Exchange.

I can’t say enough good things. I went in with a family diamond and no idea what I was doing! Katie was fantastic and we went through all of the options for an engagement ring, including looking through samples and settings available in store and online and going through all of the details. I finally found one I liked but needed two side stones that matched. Katie found two European cut diamonds available locally and worked her magic to create an amazing piece in short time. I’m beyond happy and I know my finance will be too!

Ive been working with Diamond Exchange for over 25+ years. They created my engagement ring and our wedding rings custom and we still love them after all these years. Whether you are purchasing, upgrading or just selling, they are extremely knowledgable and always fair. I have recommended them to many friends over the years and have always heard great feedback. All our jewelry and watches have come from Diamond Exchange over the years because ew trust the quality of the pieces will be great. They stand behind what they sell! Highly recommend them.

I had a great experience at Diamond Exchange. There were many loose diamonds I was able to choose from for an engagement ring and I worked with Justin and a lady whos name escapes me, but they were very helpful and informative. I will be returning with my fiancé to choose wedding rings and try to convince her into purchasing a nice watch when we visit again.

The place smells like cigarettes and the staff didnt even greet us when we walked in to look around. I would definitely recommend taking your business elsewhere. The selection is also extremely small and limited.

Great Local Shop. I bought my fiances engagement ring there and Justin was awesome to deal with. Interestingly enough, I saw a couple exchange some gold while I was waiting and was suprised at how much they got for a bunch of loose earings and such. I would recommend to others

Review №45

They are scammers, self serving and will take advantage of anyone that allows them. I took my 1.59 carat diamond to them which I paid $10 grand for. The appraiser was patronizing and said I overpaid for my diamond. According to him, I was taken . Then he proceeded to appraise my diamond at $3K and stated, he would ...throw in $400... because he felt bad for me. I sent my diamond to Diamond Buyers International and was given $5,400.00. You be the judge

I found this business online and because of the good reviews, called to see if they buy 22K gold. The call was professional and the person confirmed they do. I went there a couple of days later to sell three pieces of jewelry that I dont care for.One of the guys came out and attended to me. He took my jewelry inside and came out with one total offer for all three pieces - no breakdown of the weight, price per unit weight, nothing. When I asked for the breakdown, he went to another guy sitting behind him and I later learned that was Keith, the owner. Keith was very brash and questioned from his seat what is it that I was looking for. When I explained I just wanted to understand how they arrived at that price point, he said very rudely that its take it or leave it and hes allowed to make 10% to 15% on the sale and when I go to buy a car if I ask for a breakdown. I agreed hes allowed to make whatever he thinks is good for his business, but he should offer a breakdown of individual pieces with weight info and the unit price since I am not buying a car. Then the first guy went back and weighed again and the new offer was $150 more approx. Very shady! And this guy kept staring at me and my ID through the whole transaction! Half of this time, Keith was also talking loudly on the phone and chuckling about how he couldnt stop watching the TV on election night till 3am just to see the facial expressions on MSNBC when HRCs supporters were being asked to go home, etc. etc.I wonder if Keith understands me and my friends / family could have been a potential long term customer who could also be interested in buying jewelry there? And that buying and selling should be treated the same if he offers both services as his business is making money off of both?Keith acted very professionally with a customer that was interested in buying something when I just got there (standing at the counter, making eye contact, speaking gently, and answering all questions with a smile).

Over the past few years, I have gone to the Diamond Exchange multiple times to sell some jewelry, including gold and estate pieces, that I was never going to wear. In addition to the highly professional atmosphere and super friendly service, I was given excellent prices for the pieces I sold (and I was also given honest advice to not sell a few pieces of silver because it wouldnt be as good of a value for me- and I appreciated the honesty). In December I was in the market for a new diamond eternity band and went to Mervis and Boones to look/get pricing. When I went to the Diamond Exchange to get a repair done, I discovered that they also make/sell new jewelry and Justin showed me the most beautiful 2-carat diamond eternity band. The diamonds were very high quality, equal to Mervis and Boones quality, yet the price was about half! I was overjoyed and purchased my beautiful diamond band from the Diamond Exchange! I couldnt be any happier - my experience was seamless and I will be a repeat customer for sure!

I am very disappointed because I left my engagement ring to be resized and they told me it would be ready about 4:30. Since it is Friday of the 4th of July weekend, I asked if they were going to stay open till 6 and the guy I was working with said yes. (I only asked because the UPS guy came in and asked another employee who also responded yes) I said I would be back before 6 and I had to ask if they wanted my name and phone number in case they needed to contact me and the guy filled out the claim slip with my name and number. I get back there just before 5 and they are closed until Tuesday. They didnt call me or anything. I am going to a 4th of July party, where all friends are going to want to see my ring. I went to the business next door to see if I could find out the name of the owner to call them and get them back to the store. My only hope is that they get an immediate email of this review and are willing to call me and meet me at the store before Tuesday. I understand these things happen, but this all happened within a two hour period. How can you forget someone is coming right back?UPDATE: Owner called within 2 hours of me leaving the store. He was back there and called me to say it was complete and I could come to the store to get that evening. He had an emergency with his son. He was very helpful and accommodating and I am very happy with their work!! I will return to see about them designing my wedding band. They do custom work.

Received my original diamond engagement/wedding ting from Mrs Grimes over 25 yrs ago. When I lost my ring 2 years ago, I reached back out to Mrs Grimes to recreate/replace my ring. We worked and create an even more beautiful set! Anytine I need service I contact Mrs Grimes and there is no problem. Today, I dropped in to have my ring cleaned while st hair appt. The uoung lady who helped me, said it would take 30 mins for machine to be ready, I told her no problem since I had anotjer appt 1 block away! I asked/comfirmed the closing time, assured her I would be back by 5, left my phone number and name. I started calling the shop at 4:38 and answering machine stated they were CLOSED!!!!! I came right over, thinking they had shut the phone lines down and were still there, the OPEN sign was still on! I knocked on the window, I called and called, left a message noting the time, I drove to the back to see if perhaps someone was there ......NOBODY!!! Im leaving for vacation MONDAY ......! I too, hope the managers are notified of emails posting on this site and will reach out and call me! If uou need my number, please call Mrs Grimes. Not happy this time 😕
