GIFT HIM SOMETHING LOCAL. GIFT HIM SOMETHING LEGENDARY.

Shopping for the men in your life this Christmas? Texas Treasures Fine Jewelers specialize in gifts that actually get kept — not quietly returned in January.

Think distinguished collectible watches, custom cuff links, handcrafted whiskey stoppers, sculptural pieces, and even Texas Treasures merch. Everything is intentional and built to last.

What really sets them apart is the craftsmanship. Their in-house jeweler spent 17 years at The Green Bull, bringing that same level of skill and attention to detail to custom pieces and repairs — all done locally. If you want originality and quality he won’t already have, this is the place.
