Boone & Sons, one of the Washington area’s oldest family-run jewelers, was founded by French Boone in 1966. Today three generations of Boones run the locations in Chevy Chase, Washington, D.C. and Mclean. At any given time, a family member is present to assist customers. A total of 10 work for the company today.

“Most of the non-Boone employees have been with the company for 20 years or more, so they might as well be family,” says Darryl, French’s son, and current president. Familiar faces make the experience at Boone & Sons very personal. In most cases, a client has the advantage of working with someone who knows them, their jewelry preferences and purchase history.

French Boone created the store with the quality and service of the world’s finest jewelers with the personal feel of a local business. “Not only are we a full-service jeweler, but we strive to have the finest quality at the most competitive price,” says Darryl. “We’re flexible, service-oriented and do all we can to make sure everyone who makes a purchase is happy.” French taught his family that it’s more important to keep a relationship than to make a sale.

The generational aspect of the business coincides with generations of customers. Relationships are one of the biggest draws for a family business, according to Darryl. “We don’t see people as customers making a purchase as much as they are like friends and family.” Boone & Sons has been voted “Best Jewelry Store” by Bethesda Magazine’s readers several years running.
