Who we Are.
We have been serving the Manassas area since Wilton Ashby first opened the doors in 1946. Jewelry is our passion, and matching the perfect piece for one of our neighbors brings us happiness and great satisfaction. Stop in and say, "hi", you won't be disappointed in what you find.
What makes us Different.
Unlike most of the chain stores, we know how to design and fabricate jewelry. We have artists who can help you design your own unique piece and will make it to your specifications. All repairs are made on site by an experienced and highly qualified goldsmith.
What we Do.
We are a full service jewelry store. In addition to the beautiful pieces you find in our showroom, we do repairs, service quartz watches, create one of a kind custom jewelry, and more. For more details on our services, please check our service page.

What Your Neighbors Say
I love going in here because David has such a deep passion for his work. This was one of the few places in the area that knows what moissanite is. My ring is beautiful.
David and Susan did a fabulous job working with my fiance' to customize a wedding band to fit a unique antique engagement ring. He had something in mind and so Susan worked with him over several months to customize something that would tailor fit the existing ring and maintain the vintage look. It is beautiful and I am thrilled. They were clear up front with cost and with time expectations. And, they are just sweet and wonderful to work with. Custom work is an art, I wouldn't use just anyone for this.
We made a few visits to Ashby Jewelers, planning how we could customize a wedding band for my unique engagement ring. David was always so patient, kind and very helpful with his extensive knowledge! We ended up ordering a simple gold band and modifying my opal ring to fit the band underneath. I couldn't be happier with the outcome! We definitely recommend Ashby Jewelers to anyone and everyone seeking jewelry whether it be custom or on hand. The staff are so sweet and genuinely interested in helping you. My fiancé had requested a goofy engraving on my band which David was happy to do as well. It mentions tacos. (We are a little quirky to say the least). Thank you David and Ashby! You'll forever hold a special place in our love story!
