I had three rings resized here -- one of them twice, only because I was being cautious about not going too small. Excellent service. Trustworthy. When one of the diamonds fell out of my ring after bringing it home, I considered it my loss, and was simply going to ask how much for a replacement -- Rahul replaced it free of charge.
Rahul and his team treat you like old friends as soon as you walk in the door. The only jeweler I currently trust with my rings.
We brought my wifes wedding ring in to have it resized. It was her grandmothers but did not quite fit. not only did Rahul do an amazing job with her ring, but I have had my antique wedding band brought in twice to get stones reset, and their team has done an amazing job.Repairs may take a little bit of time, but the price and quality are unbeatable.
Rahul is the best and will make sure you are taken care of. He did a custom white gold ring with diamonds and came out great!!Keep up the good work!!
This is my 2nd time - both experiences have been wonderful!
Atlantic Gems is the only jewelry store I trust. My wife and I purchased our wedding bands, anniversary gifts, and assorted other mementos over the years from Atlantic Gems. The staff has an amazing knowledge of both commercial and custom pieces. In addition, I’ve never met a team so well versed in the qualities and properties of various gem stones as well as their expertise in the geography and history of precious gems sourced from around the world. Their quality is the best in the business and I’ve never been disappointed.
My fiancé and I used Atlantic Gems because we like supporting local businesses, and we are so glad we did! We wanted to get an engagement ring made based on a few pictures I found of a ring online. Rahul was such a pleasure to work with. His friendly demeanor, patience, and attention to detail let us feel like we were really being taken care of. Rahul gave us constant updates so that we always knew at what stage of development the ring was at. I am beyond thrilled at how the ring turned out - it is exquisitely made and exactly what I wanted. I get compliments all the time. We will be returning to get our wedding bands made here. I highly recommend this place - you will not be disappointed!
So this place is an important part of our lives. My husband worked with Rahul to design and purchase my wedding ring and band. We have returned as much as we can for special occasions and routine maintenance. Rahul was super attentive to cost and quality. We’re super happy to have this business in our life as it as provided for all of our happy occasions.
This place is great! They are very honest. Why go anywhere else
I wanted a unique ring for my fiance for her surprise engagement. I had a setting made online and I picked out and purchased a 2 ct stone to go in it. I found Atlantic Gems by doing research on yelp and seeing all the wonderful reviews! Just speaking to them on the phone I was extremely pleased. The whole experience was effortless and the ring turned out better than I could have imagined. We decided to go right back and get my ring made with them. Id recommend them anytime!
Really had a fantastic experience working with Rahul on my fiancees engagement ring. He made me feel very comfortable about the whole process from the start, and quoted me a lower price than two other jewelers I visited. He also worked with me extensively to choose the best design and had it ready one day before my deadline, which put me at ease. I plan to meet with him about our wedding bands also. Dont let the front door entrance dissuade you. Highly recommend!
I had a custom ring made and was very pleased. The whole team was helpful and friendly at every point. They know what they are doing and make effort to work with your budget. My fiancé loves her ring and we are so glad we got a ring with Atlantic. I recommend their service wholeheartedly!
The customer service is excellent. I needed to get my necklace shorten with a new clasp and cut the chain. The attention and knowledge was unbelievable. I started to go to big chain stores to get the job done- but they all said they outsourced the job. So I declined and looked for a place like Atlantic Gems. Ill come back in case I need any repairs.
Atlantic Gems is trustworthy and knowledgeable and I have trusted them with some very important jewelry! They cleaned, sized, and fixed and family heirloom ring. They also cleaned up and made my wedding band look like new. I would definitely bring any item to the that needs repair. Prices are reasonable and turn around time is great!
The owners of Atlantic Gems epitomize customer service. They know their craft and are always willing to educate the consumer. I have consulted Rahul on many occasions and have always been treated as if I am his only customer. Their ability to source or create and customize is what keeps me coming back. I always refer friends and family to this local / family-owned shop. Give them a shot, you will not be disappointed!
Rahul and staff worked with me from idea inception to final completion. Despite design changes and beginning with an incomplete vision they never flinched. Not only were the able to provide CAD derived images of what my custom pendant would look like, but because of their very extensive inventory we were able to explore endless options in-house during the design phase.A great experience, friendly and knowledgeable staff, extensive inventory coupled with fair prices. There is always room for improvement, but not much here. I will be returning.
When my fiancee and I started looking for a ring we were completely lost in the process with very little information on what types of metal, stone, setting etc. that we wanted. Rahul was absolutely the perfect person for us. He led us through the process step by step, showing us how to select a stone, then a setting, then he custom designed a unique ring for us that was better than anything we saw on any website or store. Id fully recommend Rahul for anyone who wants to get a one-of-a-kind ring for their spouse. He was a great help at every step in the process.
What a wonderful experience during such a stressful time! I wanted to get my mothers pearl necklace that my dad gave her for their wedding redesigned for my wedding in under two weeks. I dropped it off on a Monday morning and it was ready by Wednesday afternoon! Rahul was such a pleasure to work with and great with communication. The end product was absolutely beautiful and exactly like the picture I gave him. I will definitely look to do more custom pieces with him in the future.
I took my fiancées engagement ring there to be re-sized and received fantastic service. They did it for a low price, very quickly, and were enthusiastic and friendly. The result was perfect. I will be bringing all of my future jewelry business to them.
We wanted to replace the gem in a very pretty ring we had. The folks at Atlantic Gems were able to get us the new gem at a great price, swap the gems, preserve the original gem, and all without doing any damage to delicate craftsmanship of the ring. Everyone was friendly, the work was very prompt, and both the gems and labor were a great price.
Wonderful Customer Service!I brought in a wood ring that needed some upgrades. They did a wonderful job, thorough and knowledgeable. Simple stunning work and the whole process was affordable, simple, and well done. Thank you!!!
Went in for an engagement ring I needed the next week. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful getting me set up, with a very short turnaround on the ring.The selection of gems, beads, and other such things was really impressive.
If this place had 10 star reviews I would be more than happy to give them 10 stars. Rauhul is an expert at what he does . The man bends over backwards to get you what youre looking for at a decent fair price. The business is extremly customer friendly and once you enter the door you are welcomed with a huge meet and greet with an everlasting smile. No wait time and they answer all your questions. I would recommend this place to anyone seeking advice with jewelry. Top notch experience and flawless stones to suite your needs. Excellent designing and creating those stones I had asked to make. Rahul thanks for your expert advice and you did such a great job and my wife is stoked. Thanks for giving me and my wife cristi an everlasting smile and i will be back to get the otherthings done that we discussed one on one. .in person back today discuss the other ring. Maybe we can talk around the round table for a little negotiation? I have a few more things I would like to get done . A military discount or a little negotiation with you will go a long way my good friend. And keep up the oustanding work. Ten stars to a flawless business. Not sure who gave you a one star rating before but clearly he had no Idea what the hell he was doing or were he was going and should of used a GPS and took a little walk to locate your address . My ten year old found your location with absolutely no problem. Anyways this gem store does it all. Highly recommended
Ive bought from Atlantic Gems at bead shows and have been to their store. Good quality items, helpful, and trustworthy. They are also helpful if you call and want to order something. I highly recommend them.
Rahul is the man! Created the most beautiful ring from the design I presented him and was a massive help. Will always stick with him!
Atlantic Gems have helped me acquire several engagement and wedding rings. They are super knowledgeable, hones and friendly. Overall an awesome service. Everyone is happy :)
I had a great experience here! I new nothing about diamonds and was really stressed about how to find a good quality stone at an affordable price. I was introduced to Atlantic Gems through a mutual friend, and I am thoroughly happy I was. The service is incredible. The staff is patient, helpful, curtious and knowledgable. They made the whole process infinitely less stressful. I plan on going back to them for life, and I would recommend the same for anyone else in the market!
I purchased my wifes engagement and wedding rings from Atlantic Gems and was helped by the wonderful Rahul. He helped me pick the perfect settings and was able to provide a selection of stones to choose from. He is very knowledgeable, not just about the product itself, but with his connections in the industry he was able to find exactly what I wanted. Not that it was easy - for such an important purchase I was very nervous about making the right decision! But Rahul was patient and understanding and, most of all, helpful, and the end result was that I got exactly what I wanted - a very happy wife!
Rahul was extremely helpful through the whole process of picking out an engagement ring for my fiancée. I came in knowing very little and he walked me through the steps and the qualities to look for when choosing. He was very accommodating of my schedule and was patient with me as I looked for the design I wanted over several weeks. He is definitely looking to help you find the perfect ring and will guide you in the right direction. I highly recommend going to him and Atlantic Gems.
I bought my wifes diamond engagement ring from Alantic Gems. The owner spent a lot of time going over all my options and helping me find a nice piece on a budget I could afford. I was big on buying a diamond that was clean i.e not a blood diamond etc. And he helped me find a diamond mined in Canada with all the appropriate verifications. Many other places wouldnt spend the time but Atlantic Gems did. I really appreciated that, the look of the ring, and the fact that the price they got me was reasonable. Ive come back for other pieces since then and have had similar experiences.
Rahul is absolutely amazing to work with! My fiancé and I got our wedding bands here and working with Rahul was SO much better than the experience we’ve had with one of the major jewelery chains. He was super helpful in providing suggestions but also encouraged us to make our own choices and didn’t try to force anything. I really appreciated how genuine Rahul is. He even told us that if we found something we liked somewhere else, to go for it. It was so refreshing to work with someone who isn’t just trying to make a big sale, but really just wants his customers to be happy. Atlantic Gems is hands down the only place I’ll go to for my jewelry needs in the future.
I found myself at Atlantic Gems with the hopes of finishing my partners engagement ring. The entire team of Atlantic Gems worked with both of us, delivering the best gem to finish the final product. Rahul, along with his entire team, listened to our vision, shared insight, offered alternatives we were unaware of (even if it meant purchasing something cheaper), and continuously stayed in contact with us throughout the entire process. I have never worked with such a dedicated jewelry and gem team.My partner was so impressed by their staff and the way we were treated that she insisted on purchasing my ring from Atlantic Gems. Now, when we both share our I Dos, we get to know Atlantic Gems made the day that much more special.We will be going back for our additional jewelry and gem needs.I cannot express enough how wonderful it was to work with a team that treated us so well and never hesitated to fulfill our engagement needs. A+ all the way around.
I bought my engagement ring from Atlantic Gems for my girlfriend--it was superb. The customer service is top notch, and working with Rahul was great. I didnt know much about what I wanted, but Rahul talked me through the entire process, and I ended up with a ring that was exactly what my now-fiancee was looking for. Thanks to Atlantic Gems and Rahul for a great experience!!
My fiancé bought my engagement ring from here! Rahul was so helpful and so nice. My fiancé couldn’t find a ring he liked and knew he had to design it himself. Rahul helped him and he made the whole process so much easier. I am extremely happy with my ring. We will be back to get our wedding bands.
Very family oriented and they make you feel like family as well. They have everything needed to make jewelry sets.
I purchased my fiances engagement ring from Rahul. Neither of us had any knowledge or experience, and he patiently guided us through the process, including helping to pick out the specific diamond from a selection ordered from the cutter specifically for her ring. The ring turned out beautiful, and we found Rahul to be knowledgeable, helpful, customer-focused, fair, and most importantly trustworthy.
Simply fantastic in every way. Rahul helped me through choosing a stone and setting that my fiancee just loves! Rahul also resized the ring in short order so she could have it with her through a difficult trip. Rahul was incredibly helpful, communicative, and personable, he may get invited to the wedding!
This building has the most screwed up floor setting I ever experienced. Stay away
Atlantic Gems and its proprietor Rahul hit all the right notes: selection, customer service, and value. I was on the search for a place to purchase a proper engagement ring for my fiancée after I had initially proposed with a ring pop; the throwback nostalgic sucker from the late 70s and 80s. After the initial hours of happiness my lady asked me to get real and put a ring on it.I had looked around the internet and noticed that this establishment was nearby so I decided to pop in on a whim. After speaking to Rahul for a few moments I knew my search was over, even though I had initially told my fiancée that we would go looking together over that same weekend.Pushy sales people enrage me. Whenever Id step into the various mall chain jewelers (Im looking at you Kay Jewelers) Id be mobbed by salespeople and inundated with their inane questions. Rahul was so laid back, friendly and accommodating that it was a pleasure to do business with him. Further, he has a huge selection of loose gemstones and can get others shipped to him if what he has on hand still doesnt fit the bill. Youre only limited by your imagination. I had a custom Sapphire engagement ring made and although not all the design features I asked for could be implemented - one of the features I wanted would have compromised the integrity of the main stone, Im not the one with decades of experience making jewelry so I deferred to the pro - I couldnt be happier with the results. Best of all my fiancée LOVES the ring and just gushes about it and admits that the wait (although short) was worth it.Regardless of where you are in the process of proposing or if youre into gems and jewellery in general do yourself a favor and stop by Atlantic Gems and have a chat with Rahul hell steer you in the right direction.
It was a great pleasure working with Rahul!We discovered Rahul while trying to choose rings for our upcoming wedding.We accidentally found his store at Google Maps and decided to go check it out just because we were passing by.Despite the fact, that the store had closed 5 minutes before, Rahul greeted us and spent an hour helping us choose rings for the wedding.It was just ten seconds talking to Rahul, which made us trust him and approach our wedding with absolute confidence about the rings.We were very short on time but Rahul managed to deliver the rings in just 3 business days, which is fantastic given the fact that the rings were custom-made specially for us and contained a number of stones!Other stores couldnt offer anything faster than 10 days (for some even a month was not enough).We are very impressed by how he managed to meet the very hard deadline.And, of course, a great selection of rings and stones with the help of Rahul navigating through this ocean!Looking forward to ordering more jewelry from Rahul!;)
Atlantic Gems is a special place, with old-fashioned customer service. They are a rarity, a family run business that has been in Downtown Silver Spring a long time. I design and create hand-knotted gemstone jewelry and have been doing business with Atlantic Gems for over 30 years. I’ve known Rahul since he was a toddler. Rahul and his mom now run the store. Rahul is friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. He listens to your needs, explains every step of the process, then does a quality job at an excellent price, within your budget. I highly recommend Atlantic Gems. They are a full service jewelry store, selling custom and ready-made rings, earrings and necklaces, plus beading supplies, Swarovski crystal and gold/silver findings. They are conveniently located 2 blocks off Georgia Ave, on 2nd Ave, about 5 minutes from 495, and are 2 blocks from a parking garage and 3 blocks from Metro.Our son, J, a graphic artist, wanted to surprise his fiancée with a really special ring, one that he would design just for her. He envisioned a ruby within swirls of tiny diamonds, set in white gold, similar to an antique design they had seen together. When J asked friends for a jewelry store recommendation, they asked if he knew anyone in the jewelry business. ‘Just my mom’, so of course, I recommended Atlantic Gems, a place I’ve been doing business with since before J was born.Our son and I came with a picture of an antique ring, and Rahul sat down with us and explained the entire process. First, we discussed budget, then together we re-worked the design so it was exactly what J had envisioned for his fiancée. Rahul patiently and thoroughly explained the differences between white, yellow and rosy gold and how to choose a quality ruby. J selected the perfect ruby from amongst several offered, leaving the diamond selection to Rahul. Within a few days, Rahul had created a Computer Aided Design (CAD), and emailed it to J. After J’s final approval, the CAD was sent out to be made into a ring by one of Rahul’s trusted local sources. The whole process was finished in about 3 weeks, a rush job, and J picked up the ring one day before he would ask her. The price was very reasonable, on budget and on time, exactly as promised. The ring is just beautiful, and yes, she was completely surprised, and thrilled that J had designed a ring just for her. And yes, she said yes. Rahul made everything so easy and enjoyable.
Happily, I found Atlantic Gems—and more importantly, Rahul Goel—through an online search for a jeweler in Silver Spring. I’d been planning to design an engagement ring for the love of my life, and it needed to be, well, perfect. It also needed to be affordable, if possible. The online reviews for Rahul were so positive, I figured that I would give him a call. From the very beginning, he worked patiently and thoughtfully with me, helping to design and create a stunning opal ring in a hammered rose gold setting at a great price. Even though he had a good number of loose opals of different sizes on hand already, I asked Rahul to look for some better ones, which he happily did for me. A few days later, he had a half-dozen more, all really beautiful. Rahul consulted expertly with me regarding size and color, and he worked from photos of other rings (and my fiancee’s hand) to get the size and design just right. The result is a gorgeous ring that she is looking forward to wearing for many years to come. By the way, I also asked Rahul to create a wedding band to match the engagement ring so that both can be worn together. Again, the result is beautiful. I am so grateful.
I was looking to have some custom work done, specifically a ring made, and was referred to atlantic gems by a family member. Rahul, the owner, was extremely helpful and knowledgable, and it was a great change of pace from what youd expect from any big box jeweler, and even boutique jewelers for that matter. Definitely more of a personal feeling here, took his time to explain in detail all questions i had, and worked closely with me to build my concept into an actual piece. In my opinion youd be hard pressed to find someone with this level of expertise and patience, who still offers very reasonable prices.For any other jewelry ideas that I might have in the future, ill definitely be going back to atlantic to have them made.
I am so thankful for this little shop of gold. I will make any and all future transactions here.
