Sam M. Sent on 05/27/2024The most incredible
We truly cannot speak highly enough of Ascot Diamonds generally, and Paul specifically! If you are looking for a perfect engagement ring (or any piece of jewelry for that matter), look no further. Paul is your guy!!
My now fiancé and I visited quite a few jewelers and chain stores before finding Ascot, and right away we could tell that Ascot was the way to go. During our first appointment, Paul walked us through every single thing there is to know about diamonds with so much expertise and experience; we were blown away (we thought we knew everything there was to know at that point, and oh my gosh we were wrong). His years of experience, deep passion, kindness and warmth, and sense of humor make him the best teacher there is.
Once we decided to move forward with Paul, the process of designing our dream engagement ring was as easy, fun, and effortless as could be. Paul knew just what questions to ask and what stones and settings to show us, and he listened so closely to everything we said about what we wanted in our ring. He was extremely communicative, available, patient, and easy to work with — a true master of diamonds who is unbelievably talented and kind. We swung by Ascot at our convenience (Paul always made time for us!) to double check sizing, look at the same stone for the second and third time, and confirm everything was perfect.
The final product absolutely blew us away. It is stunning, and exactly what we imagined. We cannot wait to work with Paul for our wedding rings and all of our future jewelry needs, and we truly cannot sing his praises enough! Paul is incredible, and anyone would be lucky to work with him! -

My now-husband and I looked for engagement rings together, and had fine/okay experiences at a few other local spots... and then we went to see Paul at Ascot Diamonds. Our experience was phenomenal. He was thorough, warm, and easy to work with, and he helped my husband design an absolutely gorgeous, unique engagement ring that was exactly what I wanted. It was a no-brainer to return to Paul and Ascot to get our wedding bands, and again, Paul helped us design exactly what we both wanted and they were ready several weeks ahead of schedule.

Can't recommend highly enough! -

My experience with Ascot Diamonds exceeded all expectations. I appreciate that their approach is based around understanding your specifications and budget, advising what to look for in a diamond to maximize your budget, and then finding the stone that is right for you. It was a pleasure to work with Madison, who was responsive and provided exceptional service from start to finish. She made the process of selecting a diamond pressure-free and was patient in incorporating my comments on multiple iterations of the custom engagement ring design. When delivery was delayed (no fault of Ascot), Madison went above and beyond to personally meet the courier and then get the ring to me just hours before my international flight. As for the ring itself, it was perfect.
My fiancé and I were again impressed with the service and product when we returned for our wedding rings. I highly recommend Ascot Diamonds and Madison. -

Aimee Sent on 08/18/2020Great experience!
My fiancé had got my engagement ring here, which was perfect so we decided to get our wedding bands at Ascot as well. I was nervous going in because I didn’t want to feel pressured to get something I wasn’t in love with. Madison helped us and she did not pressure us at all. We picked what we liked and she told us to just email her to place the order whenever we were ready. She also helped us when my husband had the date engraved in his ring when we changed the date due to Covid. They have great customer service! -

The team at Ascot was a pleasure to work with. They took the time to educate me on the various trade offs to buying a diamond and how to balance them to get what I wanted while staying within my budget. I designed a custom engagement ring for my now-wife and it was overall a very easy process (she loved the ring!). They also have a wide, high-quality selection of pieces. I would highly recommend them. -

Ascost diamonds made my engagement ring for my husband when he was getting ready to propose, so naturally we went back there to get our wedding rings from them. Both of our bands turned out so beautifully. They were especially flexible on my wedding band since I had more of a restricted budget but a very specific style in mind and they made it work. Highly recommend them for wedding jewelry needs. -

Erika Sent on 01/21/2017Cannot say enough good things about Ascot! We worked with Paul to design my engagement ring and he was incredibly helpful. We knew we were getting great service when he told us the bigger sized diamond wasn't worth the high increase in price because it wouldn't even be noticeably bigger. My fiance went in with no knowledge of diamonds and came out a wealth of information.
We also really appreciated Paul's flexibility. While the store has more limited hours, he was willing to meet with us early or late to accommodate our work schedules. They even helped my fiance with a little deception to convince me that my ring wasn't ready yet so the proposal would be a surprise. In every way, above and beyond!
We will certainly be going back to get my wedding band! Highly recommend for anyone ring shopping. -
User2626214 Sent on 05/29/2016A few months back my fiance and I were looking for an engagement ring. We check several jewelry places, but we were not really satisfied. We stopped by Ascot Diamonds Arlington not knowing what to expect. What we found were: a warm welcome, excellent professional service, great detailed lessons about diamond and tons of flexibility. Paul Jacobs assisted us. He spent almost an hour explaining the types of diamonds, the cuts, quality and etc. We both felt that we became experts. Paul was an excellent listener and gave us genuine advice. At the end we got our dream ring. We already recommended Ascot Diamonds to all our family and friends. -
User2129565 Sent on 05/12/2015Paul was absolutely amazing to work with! He not only took the time to find the perfect diamond, but found it at a great price, as designed the custom band of my fiancé 's dreams! I could my ask for a better jeweler and will definitely be returning for our bands. -

Best Jeweler Ever
We came across Jill at Ascot Diamonds back in 2013 when my then boyfriend, now husband, and I began searching for a jeweler to help with the engagement ring process. We thoroughly searched jewelers and researched diamonds because we had no idea what we were doing and were scared of getting taken advantage of. Ascot was recommended to us by a customer of mine, after noticing her absolutely gorgeous engagement ring. Her fiancee told me about all of their extensive research they did in DC and NYC for the best jeweler and how Ascot was by far their best experience, best quality for the price, etc. We figured it was worth a try, and I am SOOO glad we found them. Jill at Ascot has been our jeweler for 5 years now. She worked with us (and then my husband for many months afterwards) to locate the perfect diamond, together they created a custom made engagement ring that I adore. We got our wedding rings there, I got a ring after the birth of each of my children, and we just got a custom made necklace of the birthstones of each of our children (my first experience with gemstones!). Each time Jill gave us plenty of options without being overwhelming, researched diamonds, and or gemstones, ring options, etc. and helped us customize everything so it was perfect for me. I also brought her my grandmother's old necklace that we "modernized" with her help and their jeweler's great skills. I cannot say enough amazing things about this place. So easy to work with, so comfortable, the quality is amazing, the price is extremely reasonable, you will not find a better jeweler. Honestly, if we ever move out of this area, we will drive or fly back to DC to work with them for more pieces. I love Ascot! -
User2484307 Sent on 12/29/2015Ascot diamonds was amazing to work with while picking out our wedding bands. We worked with a nice gentleman who knew the area where we were getting married at- Herrington on the Bay in Southern MD. He was able to work within our price range and was wonderful and very personable. Every time I need my rings cleaned- we go to Ascot because you are in and out very quickly and they do an amazing job cleaning the rings professionally.
