The Secrète Story

Since opening our doors in Bethesda in 1990, we have earned our reputation as one of the finest and most unique jewelers in the Washington area among local and global clientele.

After decades of providing master craftsmanship, true artistry, and unique bespoke jewelry services in Maryland, we opened our Dupont Circle store. We are a family-run business, committed to our community, values, and making each piece in our original Bethesda workshop. The beauty of our jewelry is apparent, and the quality of our work is undeniable.

The SECRÉTE Vision & Values

Custom Jewelry

Many jewelers offer minor customization options that are merely a choice among prefabricated components, but Secrète Fine Jewelry’s handmade bespoke process allows complete freedom for real original design by sculpting and casting one of a kind jewelry from scratch.

Work of Art

One of a kind jewelry starts with a wax mold; these small sculptures are always created by hand in our workshop, an individual work of art created just for you. Through the process of metal work, stone setting, and polishing, your vision becomes reality, a creation as unique as you are.

Expertise

The knowledgeable design team at Secrète Fine Jewelry is equipped with the education and experience to answer questions and offer insight about gemology, style, and fit.
