A Family Jeweler Worth the Drive from San Marcos
The showroom is at 3818 Far West Boulevard, Suite 102, Austin, TX 78731, in Northwest Hills just off MoPac. From downtown San Marcos it's about 42 miles, roughly 45 to 60 minutes depending on I-35 and MoPac.
Calvin Smith III, who learned jewelry from his father, opened the store in 1997 and still does bench work himself. Jackie Smith, co-owner and designer, works alongside him. Meet the family in our story, and check location, parking and hours before you make the trip.
An hour up the road. Here since 1997.
Make the Trip Count
From San Marcos this is a real drive, so plan one visit that covers everything. Book an appointment and tell us the shape, metal and budget you have in mind, and we'll have stones out and ready to compare when you walk in.
Bring along anything else that needs attention: the ring that needs sizing, the chain with the broken clasp, the heirloom you've been meaning to have appraised. Our bench jeweler works on-site and our appraiser offices at the showroom, so with a call ahead, one trip can take care of all of it.
A First Engagement Ring on a Real Budget
Whether you're a recent Texas State graduate or have been in San Marcos for years, you shouldn't have to stretch past what's sensible. Lab grown diamonds usually get you a larger or higher-grade stone for the same money, and we'll tell you plainly when a natural diamond is the better fit. Ask about current lab grown specials when you come in.
Settings from the Iconic Collection, our house-designed line in 14K gold, are a simple place to start, so more of your attention, and your budget, can go to the stone. If you'd rather spread out the cost, financing is available through Wells Fargo with approved credit.
Custom Engagement Rings, Designed in Austin
Want something nobody else has? A fully custom ring is designed and finished at our bench. You choose the shape, the metal (14K yellow, white or rose gold, or platinum) and the center stone, and you approve a CAD rendering before anything is cast. The consultation takes about an hour, and the finished ring is ready in six to eight weeks.
See how our custom process works, browse engagement rings and custom engagement rings, or look at real couples and their rings on CALVIN'S Couples. A GIA-certified associate will walk you through the 4Cs with the stones in hand. GIA's guide to the 4Cs of diamond quality and our diamond education page cover the basics if you want to read up first.
Graduation Gifts and Milestone Jewelry
Graduations, birthdays and anniversaries all deserve something that lasts longer than the party. Diamond studs and pendants are the classics. Birthstone jewelry and personalized pieces like initial necklaces make it about the person.
The full fine jewelry catalog is online, and designer collections from Michael M, Gabriel & Co and Royal Jewelry are in store only. Our gifts page is a good place to start.
Repairs, Resizing and Appraisals
A jewelry store near San Marcos should do more than sell. Our bench jeweler handles ring sizing, prong repair, accent diamond replacement, cleaning and polishing in-house, on pieces from CALVIN'S and from anywhere else. Everything we do is listed on our services page.
Anything you buy here is backed by the CALVIN'S Promise, so the care doesn't stop at checkout: a one-year warranty, cleaning, polishing, inspection and sizing at no charge for as long as you own it, and help with an insurance claim if a center stone is lost or damaged. Insurance and estate appraisals are handled by Alexandra de Marigny, a GIA Graduate Gemologist and member of the International Society of Appraisers, who keeps an independent office at our showroom. Let us know ahead of time and we'll book you in with her.
How to Get Here from San Marcos
Take I-35 North past Kyle to the FM 1626 exit in Buda, follow FM 1626 to the SH 45 Southwest toll, and take it onto MoPac (Loop 1) North. MoPac takes you through west Austin; get off at Far West Boulevard. No toll tag? Stay on I-35 into Austin, turn west on Ben White Boulevard (US-290/SH 71), and take MoPac North to Far West.
You'll park free in the lot right in front of Suite 102, a ground-floor showroom with no garage or meters to deal with. We're open 11am to 6pm Wednesday through Friday and 10am to 5pm on Saturday, and closed Sunday through Tuesday. Call (512) 794-1911 before you leave, get directions from San Marcos, or read location, parking and hours.
Why San Marcos Customers Choose CALVIN'S
It's been one family and one bench since 1997, and the owners still do the work themselves. Your ring gets made in Austin, the advice comes from GIA-certified staff, and nobody expects you to buy on the first visit. After the sale, the care is complimentary for as long as you own the piece.
Other customers share their experience on our reviews and testimonials page. If you're comparing jewelers near San Marcos, Jewelers of America's guide to what to look for in a jeweler is worth a read before you choose.
Book Before You Drive Up
Walk-ins are welcome whenever we're open, but from San Marcos it's worth booking an appointment first. A designer's hour gets set aside, and the stones you asked about are waiting.
To set it up, call (512) 794-1911, email hello@calvinsjewelry.com, or use the contact page. We also see customers from Wimberley, Martindale and New Braunfels. Live closer to Kyle or Buda? Try our jeweler near Kyle and Buda page for that route.
