I came into this establishment and got treated very nasty. I did feel discriminated against upon entering establishment I ask for Mr. Boone and got a very nasty sarcasm reply with the men in the establishment all laughing.upon showing merchandise in which I was there to do service on he immediately before I could even begin to show or tell him how many carats the piece was his reply to me was OH NO THATS NOT FOR ME!I don't do new only antique.

I am viewing all his goods as he treat me with such harsh and notice he has all styles and not just antique I know I was discriminated against and I don't appreciate it. Yes I am black a highly educated black woman with own business just as this establishment. STOP JUDGING AND BEGIN SERVICING WITH A HEART YOU CAN PAY FOR ITEMS BUT THE LOVE FOR OTHERS MUST COME FROM THE HEART, Be Bless

My husband and I worked with Ruben Cruz to find an anniversary ring for me, repair an opal and diamond heirloom ring I inherited from my great grandmother, and to with a watch purchase for my husband. I provided images of the ring settings and stones I was interested in having for the anniversary ring. Ruben delivered even though I was initially hesitant. He was great and understood my concerns. Very reassuring!

The anniversary ring came out just as I wanted it and the opal ring repair and restoration was beyond what I expected. Oh, great price on the watch for my husband too! Actually, all pieces were very fairly priced for what we got and what the appraisals were. I would highly recommend him and Boone and Sons to others. We will be returning!

My husband got my engagement ring from Boone & Sons and we got our wedding bands here too. Not only do they have high quality jewelry they are so lovely to work with. We are so so happy with our rings thanks to Boone and Sons.

As a native Washingtonian, I have had experience with many different jewelers and jewelry stores in the area over the years. Boone and Sons is by far the best. I trust them completely for purchases and repairs. The staff is professional yet warm, extremely knowledgeable, and willing to take time to assist you. The new and the estate jewelry they carry is beautiful and fairly priced. Today I encountered Debbie Rowan, who was incredibly helpful, warm and skilled, taking the time to help me and educate me. Best customer service one could imagine! Thank you, Debbie. I will be back.

I really can't say enough about my experience at Boone & Sons in Chevy Chase. I worked with Nellie for both a custom engagement ring as well as our wedding bands. Incredible attention to detail, so nice & normal, and they make the process so easy. I couldn't have been happier with how the engagement ring came out. 10/10 across the board. Will continue to be a Boone and Sons customer for the future
