Tina at Mervis in Friendship Heights helped my fiance design an engagement ring for me. He enjoyed his experience because Tina was friendly and informative and didn't do the 'sales pitch' shtick. She was always available via phone or email to answer his questions. She has since moved to the location near Tyson's Corner, where I had my final cleaning prior to the wedding. They buffed my band at no charge, which was a courtesy because it was my grandmothers. Overall, a positive and pleasant experience.

My husband spent a lot of time researching a great local jeweler. He had his grandmother's stone reset and Mervis was outstanding. We went back and purchased both of our wedding bands from them. I would definitely do pricing research before buying, however, they are great to work with and are very accommodating.

Ashley at Mervis (Tyson's Corner) was great! She worked with us to find exactly the right rings! The groom worked with her first to buy the engagement ring - she provided the necessary support and helped him find exactly what he was looking for in a ring. Ashley seemed much more interested in our happiness and less interested in any commission she might earn. She is very pleasant to work with, is flexible and willing to work with your schedule, and makes sure you get what you are looking for! We came away with rings that make us extremely happy and we didn't have to pay a fortune!

My fiance and I stopped by Mervis after several friends recommended them. Elle Perron was very helpful and gave us tons of useful information about what to look for. There were several diamonds that we like but we decided to shop a bit more before making a final decision. There was no need for that! After visiting countless mall stores and several reputable independant stores, we knew Mervis was the place. Elle was very helpful when we called to schedule an appointment and helped us get the diamond mounted and the ring sized the same day that we made our final selection. They truly do offer the most amazing quality and value and there really is no need to go anywhere else.

Loved our experience with the engagement ring so much that we also purchased our wedding rings from Mervis. We didn't have a lot to spend but they made us feel like VIP every time we went in.

Mervis helped my fiance design an engagement ring just for me: And it's perfect! They resized my ring for free (twice), checked to make sure the diamond wasn't compromised when I banged the ring a few months out, and gave it a free cleaning prior to the wedding. They were quick, efficient, and friendly every time. We are customers for life!

I'm not sure of the cost, so I can't really comment on the value for cost, but I will say this. I was not a real jewelry person, so my husband was very smart in warming me up gradually to the engagement ring idea.
I felt a little uncomfortable at some of the jewelry places. For example, a shop touted its designer rings for their name brands (which I had never heard of and frankly I card more about quality of the ring and metal than which designer had stamped its name brand on it), or another had a saleslady wearing too much blingy jewelry and too much makeup who tried to gush about something that was not my taste.
Mervis, by contrast, took us for a calm appointment, where my fiance and I sat and looked at different shapes and qualities of diamonds to compare and figure out what we liked. They even left us alone with them and let us try them in different settings to see what I felt comfortable with. It was a totally different, more relaxed experience, and one I really liked.
I am incredibly pleased with my engagement ring, so I highly recommend Mervis.

We worked with the Mervis in Friendship Heights, K Street and Rockville. Everyone was very helpful, nice and knowledgable. I do not think their prices are a bargain but you get top quality and good service.

We originally worked with Evan Mervis to order and purchase my engagement ring. To make a long story short the wrong ring came in for us....round side stones instead of princess....on top of that the stone chipped at the edge...and after all that they were willing to work with us and take it back and replace it with just the cost of labor to fix the chipped stone....so all in all they have been wonderful to work with...I recommend them.

We went to Mervis for our wedding bands (and for my engagement ring), and the products are really top notch. The staff was very helpful, and you never felt like they were pushing you to buy the most expensive item. The week of my wedding they polished my engagement ring for free. They have a great assortment of options. They are on the expensive side, but you pay for what you get. Look for the trunk sale to get a deal, especially on the groom's band.

Mervis Diamond Importers is truly the greatest place to buy jewelry.
First of all, I'm the type of person who has to make sure that I fully research and compare whenever I'm making an expensive purchase. We went to Jared before we stopped by Mervis because my brother-in-law is obsessed with the place. They were pressuring me the whole time to make the purchase that day, when I didn't even have a setting that I was in love with.
The next day, I went to Mervis and I was introduced to Arnie. He showed us a diamond the same exact cut, quality, and carat as the one I saw in Jared, and it was actually $3,000 less expensive than the one I saw in Jared! The diamond sparkled a lot more too. He explained to me that Mervis doesn't charge an origination fee, which other jewelers add on top of their jewelry prices so that they can advertise the 0% financing options.
I was still having a problem finding a setting I loved, so Arnie suggested that I get a simple Tiffany-style ring so that I would be able to get reasonable priced setting that I could replace in the future without feeling like I was wasting money. He also showed me a couple of different diamonds until I was absolutely sure that I was picking the one I loved. Arnie was also very reasonable and helped me get the best diamond for my budget.
I'm so happy with my experience at Mervis that I will be going back to them when I decide to change my setting. I have such a simple diamond ring, but I am constantly getting compliments about how beautiful and sparkly my diamond ring is!

Tina was our sales person, and was amazing. Explained everything in the process during which my then boyfriend was looking for an engagement ring - quite the nerve wracking experience. Then, when it came time to look for wedding bands, she was not at all sales-y. She was open and honest about what would look best to pair with my engagement ring, and what was realistic for my now husband's. In addition, they were more than wonderful when I had to have my ring resized and polished before the wedding. A standout jeweler in Washington.

The staff helped us pick a ring in our price range. They were helpful but not pushy. The ring was available when my fiance ordered it and we went back for the wedding ring. We had a very positive experience.

I could not say a bad thing about Mervis Diamonds! I wanted to surprise my wife completely, so she had no idea I was even looking for a ring when I proposed. So, having people like Leon and the rest of their staff helping me was amazing. They worked with me to have Tacori custom make a beautiful pave ring that would fit the 3.6k heiloom diamond that I was going to use. They really made it such a pleasure. The ring is absolutely stunning and she still says that she could've never imagined anything better! It was truly perfect! I would definitely recommend anyone looking, to start there.
