May Jewelers,

"I bought an engagement ring from May Jewlers and had a fantastic experience. It's a big moment in life when you go to purchase a ring, but everyone there makes you feel truly welcomed and they really try to understand your criteria before offering suggestions. I had the lovely experience of working with John and he found the perfect diamond. Highly recommended!"

"If you’re looking for a trustworthy and family owned jeweler than you have found it. I’ve been visiting John at May Jewelers for a couple years now for all jewelry related purchases. The quality of the jewelry here is excellent, reasonable timeline if custom jewelry is involved, and on top of all that their prices are fair. I have recommended May to all my friends and family and highly encourage stopping by and checking them out."

"I had a great experience with May Jewelers. I purchased a beautiful necklace for my mother and then, spontaneously, had them re-set my engagement ring, and I love it. Their merchandise is beautiful and customer service warm and welcoming. I’ll be back for future purchases."

"This is not a jewelry store. This is a family who makes, designs and sells jewellery. When you go in you are greeted warmly (by name if you have been in before). You are asked about your loved ones and if you would like something to eat or drink. It’s like walking into a family member’s home! You are educated and treated with respect. Prices are the best too! John and his family of coworkers are amazing people."

"May Jewelers is the best place to shop. They can get you any watches, diamonds and beautiful jewelry for the best price. I can guarantee it. We discover May Jewelers on Pricescope while searching for an engagement ring. Prior to stumbling across this site, I had done what I thought was reasonably thorough consumer research on rings and stones. I had found several specialist sites and dealers discussing the specific type of stone I was seeking, and had a sense of prices, common issues, questions to ask, etc. Then I found Pricescope, which has been the gateway to so much more high quality information and discussion. It has certainly given me a *much* better awareness than my previous extensive googling. I found vendors, appraisers, and information that never would have been on my radar. It has been a fascinating and humbling experience. Thank you, Pricescope!!! I wanted to contribute a review back to the community, so I''m posting about my recent purchase from May Jewelers. They are a brick and mortar store in Tysons Corner, VA. I have not seen many mentions of May on this site or others, and I had a really good experience buying wedding bands and an engagement ring from them. I visited several B&M stores in the D.C. area, and walked into May sort of on accident as they were across from Tiffany''s. I am a fairly deliberate and careful purchaser and visited their store maybe five times, and I also visited around ten other stores in the area. I am not affiliated with anyone in the industry in any way - the following is just my honest opinion as an newbie consumer. May seems to be a family run store. The only people I''ve seen behind the counter dealing with customers are the the two owners, John and Vincent and their friends. Many of the people I saw in the store seemed to be repeat customers. They have a lot of Asian and Indian-style jewelry, which is really cool to look at. They also have "western" style jewelry -- the mix seemed to be about 50/50. John and Vincent were both fantastic to work with. I am a suspicious person and started with the view that most jewelry salespeople are in the same category as used car salesmen. John and Vincent earned my trust. They were careful, efficient, and did not try to sell me anything I didn''t want. They provided candid judgments about what they thought might and might not work in terms of metals, styles, and stones. They were also very forthright about pricing and made a number of suggestions which helped me come in under budget. Of the places I visited, May certainly had the best prices for what I was looking for. In my opinion, they also had the most careful and thoughtful service. They were extremely flexible during the whole process, and when I had finally decided they were able to mount the stone in a few hours. Prior to mounting, stone we was appraised by one of the appraisers recommended here on Pricescope. The appraiser''s judgment was very positive and the stone appraised at considerably higher than the sales price. The sales price was apparently substantially closer to "wholesale" than "retail" prince bands. This surprised and impressed me, though I have noticed that several other Pricescope reports have noted similar disparities between actual sales price and appraisal price. For what it is worth, I was not able to find lower pricing in any of the internet stores I searched. Bottom line: I was deeply impressed by May Jewelers. I did not expect that level of honesty, care, or efficiency. I certainly did not expect such a good price on the bands or the stone. I definitely recommend taking the time to look at multiple stores and feel fortunate that I came across May."
