Anthony at Protea Diamonds made my engagement ring shopping experience truly exceptional. Having visited several major diamond retailers in DC and almost settling on a ring, I decided to explore one last store for due diligence, and I'm so glad I did. Anthony's expertise, genuine care, and passion for the business set Protea Diamonds apart. He guided me through the selection process without any pressure to make a quick purchase. Thanks to his knowledge and commitment, I left with a stunning ring that surpassed my expectations. I highly recommend Anthony and Protea Diamonds for a personalized and outstanding engagement ring shopping experience.

Anthony was very helpful in securing our engagement and wedding bands. He’s an honest jeweler which is very hard to find. Although he’s running his business he’s really in it for what you want and has your best interest at heart. His prices are also very reasonable and quality of work meets the highest standard.

I highly recommend Anthony and Protea Diamonds. My 40 year old solitaire setting had been repaired several times at other jewelers but I continued to break prongs on the setting. Anthony replaced the setting as well as repairing several other pieces I had. All the work was well done, professional, and ready on time.

Shopping for engagement and wedding rings with Anthony was a truly pleasurable experience that exceeded all my expectations. He explained how to choose good quality diamonds and bands while showing lots of examples from his vast collection. We were able to customize all aspects of our rings to get exactly what my wife had always dreamed of. The one-on-one attention with Anthony made us feel at ease, and he doesn't employ high-pressure sales tactics like many traditional jewelry stores. My wife gets complimented on her ring everywhere we go, and it just exudes quality. We couldn't be happier.

Anthony is a great to work with! I brought in an heirloom item for work. He expertly cleaned my mother's diamond engagement ring and increased the band size. I highly recommend him.

Anthony from Protea Diamonds delivered a beautiful masterpiece that exceeded my now very happy fiancee's expectations. My favorite part about working with Anthony was his willingness to go above and beyond by educating me about diamonds, shapes of rings, different materials involved in making rings, and various other topics relating to engagement rings in response to all of my questions. Anthony is a subject matter expert who provides exceptional customer service. He gave me the freedom and flexibility to design a ring down to the millimeter, which guaranteed an amazing final product. I highly recommend Protea Diamonds!

My husband and I bought my custom engagement ring from Protea Diamonds ten years ago. As I get older, unfortunately, my knuckles did too, so recently, I brought it in again to Anthony to remove the sizing bumps. He had my ring ready within a few days, ready for me to wear again. I recommend Protea for all jewelry purchases! My ring is still beautiful after all of these years!

Great experience with Protea! My fiancé and I came in to look for wedding rings and really appreciated the time Anthony spent walking us through various options based on our preferences. He also gave us some very good advice on another piece of jewelry. We are both very happy with our selections and highly recommend Protea to anyone who is in the market for a wedding or engagement ring.

I had a wonderful experience with Anthony and Protea Diamonds. I brought my engagement ring in to be resized and have the edges softened. Anthony was able to get it back to me the next day. I highly recommend Protea diamonds. I'll be going back for all of my jewelry needs. Thanks, Anthony!

Anthony was a master at helping to create exactly what I wanted each time I worked with him. I cannot say enough about his patience with me during the process of choosing the perfect setting for each piece of jewelry we worked on. I always know that with Anthony I’m getting the highest quality at a fair price.

My husband and I have been going to Protea since 2011 when we first were looking for my engagement ring. I had a very specific idea of what I wanted and Anthony was great in helping us find the exact ring within our budget. He was not at all salesy, trying to get us to spend more than we wanted. I ended up with a ring that I still love looking at today. We went back and purchased both of our wedding bands. Since then, I've gone back every few years for servicing and service is always top notch. Even to this day, more than 10 years later, he still remembers my ring. Protea is the only one I'll trust with my most valuable jewelry.

I had a very pleasant experience with Anthony at Protea Diamonds for my engagement ring. Unfortunately, I came in with a broken ring and Anthony was very helpful in planning out next steps of how to fix the ring/which styles were available/which options would work. I love how the new and improved ring turned out and would definitely return to work with Anthony on other pieces in the future.

I can't speak highly enough of our experience at Protea Diamonds in Arlington, where Anthony went above and beyond to make our engagement ring and wedding bands shopping truly memorable. From the moment we entered his shop, Anthony's many years of experience and genuine warmth guided us through their stunning collection. He patiently assisted us in finding the perfect engagement ring that beautifully encapsulated the essence of our love. Anthony's knowledge of diamond cuts, settings, and metals was invaluable in helping us make an informed decision. His passion for crafting meaningful pieces for special occasions was evident throughout our interactions. Anthony's dedication and personalized approach set Protea Diamonds apart. What truly impressed us was Protea Diamonds' willingness to customize designs to match our preferences. The result was a set of breathtaking rings that surpassed our expectations, showcasing impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail. Anthony's flexibility and commitment to customer satisfaction made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. If you're in search of not only exquisite jewelry but also an unforgettable experience, look no further than Protea Diamonds in Arlington, where Anthony will go above and beyond to help you find the perfect piece to celebrate that perfect moment.

Had a great experience selecting and building our wedding anniversary ring at Protea. Anthony expertly guided us through the available options for our band and made some terrific recommendations. We couldn’t be happier with the end result and the price was very reasonable. We’ve been buying jewelry from Protea for about 25 years now and would happily recommend them.

Professional, knowledgeable, expert - Anthony was a gem to work with! While my rings were purchased elsewhere, time and a broken knuckle made them unwearable. Beautifully polished, repaired, and resized, my rings are better than new! I will certainly use Protea again for any and all of my jewelry needs!

I chose Protea Diamonds because of the reviews that I read and I'm so happy that I did! Anthony was wonderful to work with and not only was he super patient, but he also took the time to educate me on diamonds. He reset the center stone from my engagement ring into another beautiful setting and I absolutely love my new ring! I highly recommend Protea.

Anthony is incredible and provides the best service imaginable. He is detail oriented, knowledgable, and has your best interest in mind. He also takes you step by step through the process and I could not be happier that I purchased my fiancée's engagement ring from Protea!

I have worked with Anthony at Protea for over twenty years on several pieces of jewelry. He is the utmost professional, very patient as you evaluate your options and not pushy. You never feel like he is trying to upsell you but that he is working to find what will make you happiest. I highly recommend him!

Anthony was truly a pleasure to work with. During my search for an engagement ring, I visited many of the major diamond retailers in DC and had thought I had found the ring I intended to buy. I decided to visit one more store to do my due diligence and I can’t tell you enough how happy I am that I did! Anthony explained to me everything that I needed to know and displayed an exceptional level of care and passion for his business with zero push at getting me to make a purchase. I ended up with a beautiful ring and would not hesitate to point others towards Protea Diamonds.

Anthony's knowledge and professionalism made purchasing an engagement ring a great experience. He provided a lot of information regarding the various options and at no time made me feel pressured to purchase anything. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an engagement ring and will definitely be a returning customer. His store should be your first stop when buying jewelry.

I have been buying jewelry and diamonds from Protea for 15 years now after may aunt from Bethesda referred me them. Anthony is awesome and will help you make the right choice from everything from a replacement wedding ring to a tennis bracelet. Nice to have someone in this business you can trust.

My fiancé and I worked with Anthony from Protea to create my engagement ring, and the results are stunning! We looked at a LOT of stones and got a LOT of prices/estimates from other places, and Anthony was able to offer superior stones at better prices than anybody else we talked to. He and his designer also worked closely with us to create the custom setting that we wanted for a fraction of the price than we would have gotten anywhere else. If ever I know anybody who is looking for diamond jewelry - especially an engagement ring - Protea is the place that I will always recommend.

The best jeweler in the DMV!!! My husband and I have are long term customers of Protea Diamonds. He has been our jeweler of choice for almost 20-years. He has provided several stones and settings for us, each of them impeccable in both quality and design. He recently did a phenomenal job bringing my 15-year old wedding band and engagement ring back to it's original brilliance. I am often complimented on them both. Every piece we have purchased from him has stood the test of time and held its value. Anthony is simply the best! His patience and customer service are top notch and his knowledge of gemstones and settings is extensive. You won't find a better jeweler than Anthony and he has our highest recommendation!!!

Anthony was such a pleasure to work with. His knowledge, professionalism, and experience helped me design the perfect ring for my now fiancé, who is nothing but extremely happy with the result :) Anthony was patient and accommodating to helping bring to life exactly what we were both looking for. I highly recommend going to Protea Diamonds, especially if you’re looking for an engagement ring!

I first came to Protea Diamonds in 2015. I had lost a sapphire and diamond band and wanted to replace it. I visited a highly-recommended store in Fairfax and priced a replacement, then made an appointment with Anthony. The quality of the ring was better and the price was lower at Protea. Then, when I decided to buy a diamond band, naturally the only place I went was Protea. I regularly receive compliments on how pretty my rings are. I also recommended the store to a friend’s son, who went to see Anthony and bought an engagement ring for his girlfriend.
