About Avant Garde Jewelers
Family-Owned. Austin Since 1976.
For 50 years, Avant Garde Jewelers has been part of Austin’s most meaningful celebrations. Family-owned since 1976, we specialize in engagement rings, wedding bands, natural and lab-grown diamonds, custom jewelry design, fine jewelry, and expert jewelry repair and restoration.
Education has always been an important part of how we do business. Often called “The Professor,” Brian Hoover is known for making the diamond-buying process easy to understand. We’ll explain your options, answer your questions, and give you the information you need to choose the diamond that’s right for you—without pressure.
Custom Design, All Under One Roof
Whether you’re creating an engagement ring, redesigning a family heirloom, or starting with an idea of your own, our team can bring it to life. With four custom designers and four in-house jewelers, we guide your piece from the initial concept and stone selection through CAD design, production, and final finishing.
You’ll be part of the process along the way, making sure the finished piece is exactly what you envisioned.
More Than Engagement Rings
Our showroom features a contemporary selection of fine jewelry, including rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and pieces from some of our favorite designers. We also offer professional jewelry repair and restoration performed by our experienced in-house jewelers.
Whether you’re shopping for a diamond, creating something custom, restoring a meaningful piece, or simply looking for something that catches your eye, we want you to enjoy the experience.
No commissioned salespeople. No pressure. Just knowledgeable guidance and plenty of choices.
