Washington Jewelry
The seat of the United States government, Washington DC bustles with politicians, social movers and community shakers. The White House, Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument and Washington jewelry stores are just a few of the national must-see attractions in the city, but DC is more than just American History and politics. Visit the Smithsonian Institute's numerous museums, browse through the National Archives, or spend your day exploring African Art. On a nice sunny day, stroll through the charming streets of Georgetown and grab a coffee in a trendy café. The pristine DC downtown is chock full of gourmet dining options and fashionable shopping, and the city offers an array of art and music venues, pubs and bars.
One of the most famous diamonds in the world, the Hope Diamond, makes its permanent home at Washington DC's Smithsonian Institution, which boasts an impressive permanent collection of gemstones and famous jewels: the Napoleon I diamond necklace for Empress Marie Louis – with 275 carats of diamonds, the yellow Canary Diamond, and the Star of Bombay – a 182 carat blue sapphire, to name a scant few. If admiring gemstones and jewelry puts you in the mood for acquiring your own princess cut diamond ring or sapphire pendant, the best shopping options are concentrated in four neighborhoods: Downtown, Adams-Morgan, Dupont Circle and Georgetown. Adams-Morgan is a trendy shopping corridor with eclectic and designer shops, while Georgetown is filled with fashionable jewelry stores and high-end boutiques, and Dupont Circle is an upscale, artsy haven.
