Where is the Best Jewelry in Austin, Texas?
Joseph and his team at White Fire Jewelry made a daunting decision very easy. From my first call, they were responsive and dedicated, and I’d highly recommend to anyone searching for that perfect ring, even on a budget. I found the perfect setting online at White Fire, but as they are located in Texas, and I’m in New Jersey, the prospect of purchasing such an expensive piece online was a little unsettling. However, Joseph made the process very seamless, helped me pick out the perfect diamond to go with my setting, and made me feel very comfortable. The icing on the cake was after we had the perfect diamond picked out and paid for, Joseph saw the diamond in person as he was setting it, did not approve of it’s quality, and contended that the certification was too generous with this particular stone. While he could have said nothing, and I’d be none-the-wiser, he helped me select a new diamond, and gave me a higher quality stone at the same price as the first. So whether you’re loca
I have been shopping at Goodie Two Shoes for years and have always been able to find something fun and affordable with every visit, whether I found exactly what I was originally looking for or not. In my experiences, the owner and staff have always been more than happy to answer any questions or help find my shoe size, even if it means extensive digging in the stockroom. (I have tiny feet and employee trips to the back room are standard procedure when I shoe shop; stores with patient employees are few and far between.)I need new shoes for spring (specifically jellies like I wore when I was 8 in 1989!) and Goodie Two Shoes will be the first place I check out this weekend. Note: the lot behind the store makes it easy to avoid the nightmare that is South Congress parking!Pros + friendly service, wide selection of shoe sizes and stylesCons – quality isn’t high; you’re buying one/two-season trends
Most things that sound too good to be true are; this is not one of those cases.I went into Kruger’s because of the reviews I saw on this site, but I gave Kruger’s my business because the experience is all that is portrayed and more. I entered the store with exact specifications and an absolute maximum price for my perfect engagement ring. Instead of trying to up-sell me immediately as was the trend at the other stores I visited, David Kruger spent our time determining exactly what I wanted. Because I had done months of research, this took only 30 minutes, but we spent the rest of an hour chatting about politics and fishing, a very pleasant experience.Within three days, I received an email from David saying he had found a diamond of the exact quality I wanted and could sell at my price range. I replied that I would come in and buy it the next week if the diamond was all that he had made it out to be. Before I had a chance to come in, I received a call saying he had found a much be
Where to start? Maybe the quick review for those in a rush: go see Dean for any jewelry needs you may have. He’s the best, hands down. You can read the rest of this review or other reviews, but I am telling you, you will want to go see Dean as soon as you can.Now for those that have some more time: I came across Dean on Citysearch while looking for a place to get my fiancee’s engagement ring. I had been to some local Austin jewelry stores, as well as Tiffany’s in the Domain. After visiting at a handful of these stores, I wasn’t wowed by anything I saw, even rings well beyond my budget. All the rings I saw just seemed uninteresting and plain, even those that were made to look baroque. I could buy a nice ring from these places, but the experience didn’t feel personal to me. That wasn’t how I wanted to propose to my future wife.But then I found Dean. I went to his website and his rings just grabbed my attention. I liked the colored diamonds since my fiancee had mentioned that she like
