  I went with others. Our experience with the sales staff was disappointing. At best, they started out smiling, but most didn't even do that. It appeared that we were interrupting them. They did not appear knowledgable about the pieces in the cases.
  
  We were wearing diamonds (all of very good quality) which may have intimidated them, but one would think that once they saw what we had, they would have been anxious to add to our collections.
  
  Buyer beware! They have a LOT of overpriced junk stones along with the low priced junk. Some of the studs were so gray and dull that even a saw blade would not have wanted them. They also had some very high quality gems in one of the cases, but the pricing was uneven. You need to know what you are doing or else consider the certified stones.
  We left after about 15 minutes, having completely lost our excitement about the place. Also, Watch out for the traffic meters in Bethesda. One minute late and you owe $35.
