Mervis Diamonds
Voted the Best Place to Buy a Diamond in the Washington
metropolitan area by a Washingtonpost.com Readers’ Choice survey, Mervis
Diamonds (doing business as Mervis Diamond Importers) offers a wide
selection of some of the world’s finest diamonds, wedding and engagement
rings, and jewelry. Family owned and operated since 1933, the business
currently has storefronts in Washington, D.C.; Rockville, Maryland; and
Tysons Corner, Virginia; as well as an ecommerce store online at
MervisDiamond.com. Mervis Diamonds not only offers hand-selected
precious gems from top global suppliers, the retailer also employs a
staff of highly experienced gem and jewelry consultants, the majority of
whom trained with the Diamond Council of America or the Gemological
Institute of America.
Mervis Diamonds stands apart from other
precious gem retailers for a number of reasons. Company President Zed
Mervis comes from a long line of diamond importers. His ancestors began
their family business in South Africa in the early 1900s before moving
their center of operations to the United States. Today, the company
maintains longstanding relationships with world-famous mineral
extractors in South Africa and throughout neighboring counties in the
region. Through its connections with responsible mine owners in Southern
Africa, Mervis Diamonds can acquire and sell a diverse selection of
precious gems straight from the source, thus eliminating a broker and
providing greater value at less cost to consumers. Plus, the company
maintains a conflict-free guarantee regarding its inventory and a
zero-tolerance stance on trading in blood diamonds.
As a family
operation, Mervis Diamonds upholds traditional values of personable and
friendly customer service as well. Customers of the company can expect
to be treated respectfully and to be fully assisted in selecting a
stone, setting, or piece of jewelry, as evidenced by positive customer
reviews at WeddingWire.com and ProjectWedding.com.
