Five stars is too low, would give it 10. Have been going to Nicolle's for years & Nick & Inna have always gone out of their way providing quality service. Their designs are unique and when my wife wears one of their pieces she feels as if she is wearing a piece of art. She is always complemented on the quality and stunning design work that goes into each piece. They have a huge selection of high quality gem stones and diamonds, and have worked with us to design numerous pieces for special occasions. The best part of the shopping experience (at least for me) is being involved in the design process, and selection of the gems that would best set off the design. Their prices are much more competitive than what you find in the Washington/Fairfax area at some of the more upscale stores for a mass produced design. Why give a loved one a piece of mass-produced jewelry when for the same price she can wear a one of a kind piece of art? Once you visit you will come back again & again.

The best shopping experience I ever had was at Nicolle's jewelry designs. I like going to this store. They have a large selection of jewelry for any taste and designs are very unique! High quality gems and craftsmanship work and at very reasonable prices. I love wearing my jewelry that I got from this store. I always get a lot of compliments.

A large variety of extremely hard to find gems, including natural alexandrite of good quality, watermelon tourmaline, and natural color diamonds. Their white diamonds are, however of poor quality, and when we purchased a white diamond men's wedding band with five diamonds in it, we had it sized. Within two weeks the band split, the gold had turned yellow and the band had been sized a half size off. We later found the same ring in a retail store for half the price, but they'd only size 2 sizes up or down and we needed to have it sized three sizes down. We did not have that problem when we purchased my natural alexandrite, other than finding that some of their pricing was a bit high. I've recommended this store to others looking for hard to find gems, but those looking for good diamonds or easy to find gems at reasonable rates, I'd say go elsewhere.
