Hi Steph T, and Welcome. I live in Southern Maryland but often travel to the Bethesda for shopping. I too saw those lovely commercials and a couple years ago I made the long trip to see the shop. What a disappointment! Frankly, I did not see anything that compared to the pictures shown on TV. The quality of their goods, in my opinion, was average at best. There was nothing "wholesale" about it. You'll get what you pay for -- 1 ct solitare for $999  , puuleez! After my long drive and time spent looking in every case for even one item that appealed to me, I left and have never looked back. I suppose it may have changed since I was there, but I have my doubts. DiamondLil

They are a part of a chain. Many have different names, but the advertising is virtually identical. They appeal to impulsive buyers and other who tend to victimize themselves by believing there is a free lunch....There isn't.
The vales are decent. The workmanship tends to be commercial. Diamonds are diamonds in that you can't get better then you pay for except in extraordinary circumstances. If you know very little and don't want to know, then you might like such a place. Once you know more, then look and leave. They handle themselves better than many "maul" stores. The news is not that bad in the overall. David S. Atlas, GG(GIA) Sr Mbr(NAJA) ASG(AGA) My basket of services available to Pricescopers |
