Meet our Experts in Fine Jewelry

​Mike Beem - Owner
​
Mike has been in the jewelry business for over 25 years. He began as a part-time salesperson for a national jewelry chain the summer after graduating from high school, and he ended up paying his way through college by working there nights and weekends. After he graduated from George Mason University, Mike managed jewelry stores at the corporate level in Virginia, Maryland and California, winning several national sales and service awards. He later worked and managed a store in Northern Virginia for a local family jewelry chain. He opened his own store, M. Beem Jewelers, in 2003.
Mike has a B.S. in public administration and degrees from the Gemological Institute of America. M. Beem Jewelers is the culmination of many years of training and professional experience. Mike is especially proud of the store's comfortable and informative atmosphere, which enables customers to shop with confidence and trust. Mike truly enjoys having a business that allows him to share life's special occasions with his clients and their loved ones.
When he is not at the store, he follows the GMU men's basketball team and gets in a round of golf every now and then. He and his wife, Maria, both grew up in the area, support several local charities and enjoy being a part of the local community with their three children.

Ruben Cruz
​
Ruben began his career with Kay Jewelers in sunny Florida. Over the past 16 years, he has managed stores in Maryland, Texas and Virginia for one of the largest jewelry conglomerates in the nation. He has also been a sales trainer and recruiter at the corporate level.
Ruben is now enjoying the flexibility that M. Beem Jewelers offers to help him provide real one-on-one attention to his clients. He is very creative and resourceful and is always looking to design the perfect item for each of his customers.
Ruben has a great eye for design and has been the source of inspiration for many of the custom items in the cases. His energy, enthusiasm, attention to detail and creativity endear him to our customers. They truly enjoy working with him, and many seem to adopt him as their permanent personal jeweler from the moment of their first interactions.
After growing up in Puerto Rico, Ruben came to Florida as a college student attending the University of Florida. There, he played competitive beach volleyball while attending school and later as he worked at Kay Jewelers. Though he sometimes still misses the beaches that Northern Virginia lacks, he enjoys being back in the DC area with his many friends and colleagues.
