“Fortune keeps careful records: every kindness is repaid in light.”
Washington is served by our New York office, one of our three with Chicago and Portland, Maine, and every 2N piece is bench-made in New York. Washington is a city of careful documents, and so are we. So we answer with documents rather than adjectives: an IGI report for every diamond, photographs of the exact piece, and a price at least 45% below boutique.
Choose a finished Signature piece that ships as shown, commission an Atelier piece in your metal and size, or design your own through The BESPOKEN Atelier. Behind all of it: access to over a million diamonds, held to our house standard of Ideal cut with Excellent polish and symmetry.

Cherry trees around the water, a gift from Tokyo in 1912, bloom each spring beside the Jefferson Memorial.
Our tip: Peak bloom often falls in late March or early April; dawn beats the crowds.
Terraced gardens descending from a Georgetown estate, with rose beds, pools and an orangery.
Our tip: Check the garden’s season, hours and ticketing before you go.
Hundreds of acres of gardens and meadows, where the original Capitol columns stand on a hill.
Our tip: Late afternoon light on the columns.

Short stories and guides for Washington, from our New York office.
At the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, the Hope Diamond, a deep blue stone of 45.52 carats, is on view free of charge. Harry Winston gave it to the Smithsonian in 1958, and it famously arrived by registered mail.
A great diamond is as much about its record as its fire. Every 2N diamond travels fully insured with its IGI report, is held to Ideal cut with Excellent polish and symmetry, and is photographed as the exact stone you will receive.
Spring and autumn are the easiest seasons for an outdoor proposal; summer evenings work well once the heat of the day has passed. Here, we would look first at The Tidal Basin, Dumbarton Oaks Garden or United States National Arboretum.
Whatever you choose, plan the ring first: order a few weeks ahead, or a little more for a piece made to order, and our concierge will time the insured delivery so it arrives with days to spare.
A ring that fits on a humid August afternoon can feel loose on a cold January morning. Size at room temperature, late in the day, and if you are between sizes, our concierge will help you choose.
Through the seasons, low and bezel settings are the most practical for daily wear, while a high, open setting shows the diamond at its brightest. Either way, a quick look at the prongs every few months keeps the stone secure.

Yes. A lab grown diamond is a real diamond, the same carbon crystal with the same hardness and fire as a mined stone. Only its origin differs. Every 2N diamond is graded and certified by the IGI, and the report travels with it.
Our house standard is Ideal cut with Excellent polish and Excellent symmetry, and every diamond is IGI certified. With access to over a million diamonds, we can find the stone that fits your shape, size and budget.
Size at room temperature, late in the day. Fingers swell in Washington’s summer humidity and shrink in winter, so if you are between sizes, our concierge will help you choose. Atelier pieces are made to order in your size.
