Aweful place they Had a guy standing on the corner with a sign saying they offer the best price To buy Diamonds and gold. LIES they actually offered the least out of the 6 places I went to on the same day. In fact they were 196% less then my lowest offer. BEWARE and always go to other places as you will see they will be the lowest and not even close to the best price paid as advertised. They false advertise.
There also said on their sign, building and website they buy diamonds and gold at the best prices and told a customer they don't buy diamonds. The customer said there is a guy on the street holding a sign saying you do and so does your website. They woman had the nerve to say "not right now things are slow". But somehow forgot they were paying someone to stand on Westheimer and hold a saying just the opposite. This place is a joke. It might have been good 25 years ago but now are just out to rip everyone off and deceive their customers.

Had two rings custom made at Houston Jewelry. Steven assisted us, and did a fantastic job both in getting the rings made, and in assisting us during the process.

All of the staff at Houston Jewelry were friendly and very knowledgeable. The quality of merchandise in the store is fabulous (must see the candelabra pair on the front table)! I did not realize how long they had been in business here in Houston (1866). Really well done.

My fiance originally went to another jeweler and was told he needed to do more research and come back. He decided to go to Houston Jewelry based on recommendations and was very impressed. Steven was amazing when helping to customize a ring for me and ensuring my fiance our diamond was being used and verified over and over. Flash forward to picking our wedding bands Stephen and the team again greeted us with open arms and a smile. We found our perfect rings to start our marriage! Thank you Houston Jewelry, I can't wait to recommend y'all to our friends as they look to get engaged!

Once again I was helped by Steven to find the perfect ring! He was able to keep me informed each step of the way for my custom made band for my engagement ring which turned out absolutely stunning.
