Our Rolex history

Since 1983, David Gardner’s Jewelers has been more than a store—it’s been a beacon of love and community. Born from a dream to craft jewelry for cherished moments and support their hometown, the journey began with David sweeping floors at a local Zales store over 50 years ago. Through passion and dedication, David’s talent for creating unique pieces has earned David Gardner’s a devoted following. With Julia, his wife and partner of over 50 years, they’ve shaped a philosophy of beauty and value that resonates in every design. Their creation shave graced the wrists and necks of esteemed figures like Former First Lady Barbara Bush and Joan Lunden. Voted among the “Top 10 Coolest Stores in America” and inducted into the Jewelers of America Hall of Fame, the store continues to shine a spotlight on Central Texas. Under the Gardners’ leadership, they have proudly held the title of an American Gem Society member store for over 25 years, a distinction shared by only five percent of jewelry stores nationwide. David’s dedication even led him to serve as AGS President from 2012 to 2014, cementing the commitment to excellence in every facet of their work.
