I can't say enough about Masica and how well we were treated by David and his team. He was patient, instructional and flexible. We purchased a gorgeous engagement ring and wedding band and we couldn't be happier. Prices were way better than I expected. If you are in the market, do not hesitate. give David a chance. You won't regret it!

My Fiance had my engagement ring made at Masica Diamonds, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out! We will be going back to Masica diamonds for the rest of our jewelry needs, and recommend that everyone do the same!

David is absolutely awesome. He took his time explaining all of the details on each type of stone and ensured that we came away with the one that we wanted. He went above and beyond what we could have expected, cannot say enough about the quality of his service and the value we received. Highly recommended!

David created an exceptional engagement ring for me within a two week time span. He took my vision for the ring and ran with it, creating a flawless ring that I couldn't more happy with. I will definitely be returning to Masica Diamonds for any future diamond needs.

Having never shopped for rings before, David's help and experience was the absolute best to work with. He took extra time to sit down and teach me the relevant information that goes into selecting the perfect diamond, ring, and setting. He had a wide variety of diamonds to help show me the differences and how the price varied with each stone. Additionally, he had an array of rings to help narrow down the exact ring material, look, and setting. Lastly, every idea my fiance provided he said he could make/create since he makes his own rings and cuts his own diamonds. I definitely recommend him and have put him at the top of my list for any other gifts.

David at Masica Diamonds provided impeccable service and his engagement ring recommendations for my fiancee were spot on. After I showed him a few pictures of the type of ring she liked, he helped me to find a ring she loved. He explained how to measure the quality of the diamond to ensure the one I chose was of the highest quality. David also made certain that the resizing process for her ring went smoothly and quickly. I highly recommend David for all of your engagement ring needs. ~Joshuah

My heart was full of joy when I pulled into the building parking garage- I'm getting married! I was there to try on wedding dresses and then I planned to stop in Masica to look at wedding bands. If I was lucky, I'd find everything I have dreamed of. Unfortunately, the garage must be undergoing renovations and many of the spots are blocked off with yellow tape.

There were several spots that were open for Masica. Since I planned to shop for a ring at Masica, I felt confident in parking in one of the allotted spots. After trying on dresses, I returned to my car to drop off items I needed for trying on the dresses. Upon returning to my vehicle, I found a sticker on my driver side window warning me to never park there again.

When I tried to peel off the sticker, I found it is purposefully impossible to remove! Had the owner instead decide to be less aggressive, and placed a note under my windshield, or placed an easily removable warning on my vehicle, I would have still walked into his store and simply advise him he had mistaken me for a parking space thief. But he chose instead to be very aggressive and vandalize my car and endanger my safety by occluding the view out of my window.

I tried to enter his business from the garage to talk to him but it was locked. I called him to advise him of his mistake and he was condescending, spoke over me and was rude. I looked him up on several sites and can see by his responses to negative reviews that this is not a professional businessman and certainly is not the type of person I wish to do business with.

The sticker used is called a "Scrape-It label" made with PERMANENT ACRYLIC ADHESIVE. The website states: "After adhesion onto glass, the user will have to use a scraper to remove the label. For less aggressive enforcement, leave the liner on the label and place it under the violator's wiper". www.myparkingpermit.com

Honestly i dont know how he got all the positive reviews, he just plainly rude. As a business owner you would think, he know better about customer service, definitely not him. There are still alot of other shop to shop from n get way way better customer service. Shame on you as a business owner!

Absolutely amazing experience! This is my second time using David in 10 years and as always he was super accommodating. I had just lost my old engagement ring and needed replacement but I decided to also upgrade from my previous one. He helped guide us through the process of selecting the right stones that matched our budget but were superior to anything I thought I'd be able to afford.

Most places try to milk you and didn't. PLUS he was able get me a setting that was actually better than the one I found at Tiffany's! So I'm crazy happy with my ring and I love David for making it for me.

David is the man. I went to him a few weeks ago after seeing that he had some of the most competitive prices for 1-1.5 ct GIA certified diamonds according to the 2017 Washington Consumer's Checkbook. What I learned is that competitive prices doesn't mean you have to sacrifice on quality. I shared with David exactly what I was looking for and he worked with me to find the diamond I was interested in, at an affordable price.

He is extremely knowledgeable and was able to educate me on several things, beyond all the research I had already done on my own. While he is more old-school and can be a little straightforward, I appreciated this over your typical jewelry salesperson who tells you a bunch of fluff just to get a sale. The man is a master diamond cutter and an expert at designing rings.

If you want a quality diamond Masica Diamonds is the way to go. Shoutout to one of his employees Jessie as well who helped me in the buying process as well. It was helpful to see the different engagement ring and wedding ring sets modeled on her hand, to get an idea of how it would look on my now fiancee. We're incredibly grateful for David's help, expertise, and guidance in what can be a large and stressful purchase. He made it an easy process for us and has earned himself customers for life.

My fiance had taken me to probably 3 different places before we found Masica and at each place I did find some rings and styles I liked but never found "the one". I saw the most beautiful ring on a lady and had to know where she got it and that's when I learned about Masica. We made an appointment to look at engagement rings and Masica was so welcoming to both of us.

He brought out his display and I was instantly drawn to this round halo but they were all so beautiful. I couldn't be happier with my ring and I'm so happy we ended up buying from Masica and not a large retailer. I get so many compliments and I've never seen a ring with so much sparkle to it. Thank you Masica!

David has the highest quality diamonds and his prices are reasonable. We used Checkbook to find his store and were extremely pleased with our custom wedding rings. We had looked at the mall chains and were shocked to see the poor diamond quality and outrageous prices. We highly recommend Masica Diamonds.

Masica Diamonds and David are wonderful! David took the time to explain everything in detail that made sense. It took the guessing out and my decisions were very easy. The finished product is incredible. I love it and so does she. I sent it to have some maintenance done and when I got it back, it looks brand new! I cannot thank David and Masica Diamonds enough for the incredible experience and product. I would recommend Masica to anyone looking for any gift in custom jewelry without the pressure that other businesses put on the buyer.

I could not be happier with my beautiful engagement ring! It fits me perfect (size and style)! It was a complete surprise from my now fiance! I had no idea what size ring I wore because I had never been to a jeweler to be sized. My fiance sent David a photo of me and he was able to determine my size! To me that is magic! I would highly recommend Masica Diamonds for all your fine jewelry needs!

Just bought two more rings from Masica. They are great value and really beautiful! I'm black, my fiance is black. Not sure what the other review is talking about regarding him not serving black people. We feel that we have received great service and will continue to go to Masica. Earnings are next on the list! Also, we were referred to Masica by our friend, who is black. Idk. He's been awesome.

Seems like they actively remove posts that are not favorable to him. I will repost my experience. I didn't get to see how his services were because he pretty much threw me out before I got a chance to ask. Completely rude. The experience here was so lasting, I need to make sure that he does not hide his poor attitude.

Masica is the best there is! No one cared as much about making sure we found the perfect ring as Dave did. The ring he created was the perfect ring my girlfriend (now fiancee!) was looking for. His prices are unbeatable and the service is top notch. A friend told me to check him out and I was skeptical to drive all the way to Maryland after there are so many options here in Richmond.

But after I visited every store in Richmond I decided to make the drive and it was well worth it. No one even came close to the quality and service Masica offered. Anyone looking looking for an engagement ring is doing themselves a disservice if you don't visit Masica.

So unprofessional, my ring was supposed to be done in 2 weeks and when I called 3 weeks later it wasn't even close to being ready. In the end I just ended up asking for the deposit back and not even getting the ring. If you are okay with waiting months for your diamonds then this is the place for you. David is very arrogant and rude, and has horrible customer service.

I had visited Masica Diamonds in hopes to find something unique - be it a pendant or a pair of earrings. I wanted something that I wouldn't ordinarily find walking into a Nordstrom or Macy's, something that would be of excellent quality. I was disappointed by the limited collection. I suppose the mistake I made was I looked at the ratings and how people had such a positive experience; I dismissed the fact that the reviews I had read were all for engagement rings. David was kind, although he did emphasize a lot about how his collection was very expensive. Just because I had dropped by his showroom, he offered me a brooch from the trade-in jewelry collection he had - I also suppose that's a nice gesture.

As a first-time diamond buyer, i was intimidated by the task of picking out the perfect engagement ring. After visiting several national/corporate diamond jewelry retailers, i was tired of the brown nosing and condescending "used car salesman" attitude. David's no-nonsense, straightforward attitude made picking out a diamond and a setting a comfortable experience.

I took my fiance to pick out a general style and David did a great job of discussing the financial details with with me with her there not making it awkward. After giving it a little more thought i went back to seal the deal and he took care not to put any pressure on me. We will certainly be back for our wedding bands just before the big day. Support local businesses and stay away from overpriced national corporate jewelers. If you want a straightforward, no nonsense diamond buying experience, go see David Masica.

My husband bought my beautiful engagement ring from David over 5 years ago. After 5 years of looking at it on my finger day in and day out I'm still as in love with it and my wedding ring (also from Masica) as the day Tom gave them to me. For our five year anniversary I asked David to make 3 additional rings for me (5 rings for 5 years). I got a skinny diamond band to match my wedding ring and two skinny sapphire bands. They were just delivered to my door (I live in Philly. David is very easy to work with even from afar) and they are GORGEOUS. He truly does beautiful work.

My fiance purchased my engagement ring last year from David. We visited a few times before making a purchase he was very patient with us. David is very knowledgeable and confident about his jewelry. Everywhere I go, I receive compliments on my 2ct diamond marquise ring. Even when its dirty, it still blings. The quality of his diamonds are immaculate.

He even explains where he gets his diamonds from and he even cuts them himself. Each time I go to David's the service is top notch as he is so personable, offers coffee, water, tea and of course he offers me to try on anything that I like in the store. Purchasing from Masica is always a memorable and non pressured experience.

I went into the store in search of a high quality 2-3 carat diamond. The assistant was very nice and accomodating. I had to wait 10-15 minutes for David to arrive. When he arrived, we discussed the shape, clarity and other particulars I was seeking in a diamond. He then asked me if I knew how much diamonds cost because the stones are expensive. Really?!?

Other than the fact that I am an African American woman, I really don't see how you can pose that stupid a question to a knowledgable and savvy customer. I repeated the question in disbelief. His assistant then blurted "Uh, David is very blunt". I told her that there was a vast difference between being blunt and ignorant. I then asked her to unlock the door and let me out.

There was no way I was going to give him $50K to insult me. I went over to Dominion Jewelers in Falls Church and bought the most amazing 3.06ct diamond and a fabulous setting to put it in for a lot less. I could go on and on about the difference in reception and professionalism, but this is not the forum for that.
