An Hour Down Wine Road 290

Johnson City sits at one end of Wine Road 290, the stretch of US-290 that runs west to Fredericksburg. Head the other direction and it carries you most of the way to us. We're at 3818 Far West Boulevard, Suite 102, Austin, TX 78731, about 52 miles from the Blanco County courthouse, usually 65 to 85 minutes away.

Calvin Smith III learned the trade from his father and opened CALVIN'S in 1997; he's still at the bench. Designer Jackie Smith co-owns the store with him. Read our story for more.

Wine Country Weddings

From Carter Creek on US-290 to the vineyards toward Hye and Stonewall, the Hill Country does weddings beautifully. Once the venue is booked, order your bands about a month out. For her, we carry plain gold, diamond and eternity bands, including curved bands that sit flush against an engagement ring; for him, men's bands in gold, two-tone, textured and tantalum.

Engagement Rings, Made at Our Bench

Pick a setting from our Iconic Collection or design from a blank page. In an hour-long consultation you'll look at real diamonds and decide on shape, metal and budget. You approve a CAD model before casting, and custom rings are finished six to eight weeks later. Since you're driving in, ask when you book what has to be done in person. How it works explains the steps.

Planning to propose at Pedernales Falls State Park or out near the LBJ Ranch? Tell us the date and we'll work backward from it.

Natural and Lab Grown Diamonds

Our cases have both. Lab grown stretches a budget into a larger stone; natural is rarer and keeps more of its value. Our GIA-certified staff will lay them side by side and explain the 4Cs while you compare. Our diamond education page is a good primer.

Repairs, Resetting and Appraisals

Family jewelry gets a second life at our bench: rings resized, worn prongs rebuilt, lost accent stones replaced and a dull finish brought back, whichever store it originally came from. An inherited diamond can also be lifted out and set into something new.

For a valuation, Alexandra de Marigny, a GIA Graduate Gemologist who belongs to the International Society of Appraisers, writes independent insurance and estate appraisals from our showroom; phone ahead so she can make time. And pieces you buy here are covered by the CALVIN'S Promise, our one-year warranty plus no-charge cleaning, polishing, inspection and resizing for the life of the piece, with help on an insurance claim if a center stone goes missing. Everything we do is listed online.

Holiday Gifts Before the Lights Spectacular

Each holiday season Johnson City drapes the Blanco County courthouse in lights and fills the Pedernales Electric Cooperative campus with more than a million more. If a gift is on your list this year, our fine jewelry covers diamond studs, pendants, bracelets and birthstone pieces, with designer collections from Michael M, Gabriel & Co and Royal Jewelry alongside our own. Call with a budget before you drive in and we'll set a few pieces aside, or browse the gifts page first.
