Brian and his team are the best! Super knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend them if you are looking for a jeweler that genuinely cares and will go above and beyond.

I see so many 5 star reviews for Avant Garde, but my fiance and I had a very different experience than others posting here. We went to Avant Garde to discuss designs for my engagement ring last October. However, each time my fiance went back to Avant Garde to check on progress (if they received the diamonds they said they had ordered, progress on CAD drawings, etc.) they did not have any product to show him. During my fiance's 4th trip to Avant Garde, the man he was working with even said "so what are we working on for you today?". This was after discussing designs, sending photos, and assuming the jeweler was keeping notes during previous meetings! Getting a simple call back from them proved difficult as well. A lack of communication, lack of progress over months, and a feeling like we weren't getting quality service for an extremely expensive and meaningful purchase was very discouraging. We took our business elsewhere (to Benold's) and had an amazing experience where we felt welcome and they worked hand in hand with my fiance over 2 months to produce a gorgeous engagement ring that exceeded our expectations.

My husband and I had an amazing experience here. Everyone was so nice and so willing to help. We came in with a tricky ring repair and left with something that was great! They can also repurpose your own gems and metals, which is fantastic. We will definitely be returning.

I needed a ring not purchased in Austin to be sized, so I searched for the highest rated jeweler I could find near me. The reviews were all true. What I found at Avant was personalized 5-star service from the moment I walked in the door, until my ring was completed just a couple days after. I even learned a thing or two about rings, which I appreciated all the transparency and explanation. I have found my local jeweler for all future jewelry needs!

We were searching for a men’s band for our upcoming wedding and just so happened to stumble into this location while in the area. SO happy we did. Everyone we encountered was just as nice as the next, but Drew was our guy that helped us decide on one and made it so quick and painless. And to top it all off, when i went to pick it up, the lady at the front counter (Cant believe I didn’t get her name) noticed my own ring needed some TLC and offered to clean it while finishing the transaction! Wasnt even purchased there, but now we know where to return when ready in the future. Would recommend them to anyone!

Avant Garde has been my go to for anything that has to do with jewelry for over 20 years! The new store is BEAUTIFUL! And the location is perfect! Brian is an amazing jeweler, and has great ideas when designing custom, one of a kind jewelry. Repurpose your old, broken or inherited jewelry at Avant Garde! His staff is also very helpful at finding just what you want, and the prices are reasonable. I will always recommended this jewelry store!

Great experience with Avante Garde. Brian was extremely helpful and did a great job educating on the custom jewelry process while also letting me steer the direction the way I liked. The turnaround was quick, and prices were always fair and upfront. The work itself is beautiful and I have no complaints. You can tell there is years and years of experience and talent behind what they do. Great experience all around. Will be going back again for sure.

Avant Garde is amazing. They’re the only jeweler I’ll use, after much trial and error with other places. Mary Ann is great, and the family is super customer service oriented. It’s always a pleasure going to see them.

I cannot recommend Avant Garde enough!! The customer service is amazing and everyone is so friendly. They’ve all been in the business for decades and are very knowledgeable. I took my engagement ring in Monday morning to get it resized, and I was able to pick it up Wednesday afternoon. It fits perfectly and is beautiful! Definitely visit this place for all your diamond/jewelry needs :)

Wow! Can I say anything more about Brian and the team at Avant Garde Jewelers than what has already been said? Many years ago, I came to AG as a referral, and they've treated me like family ever since. They are very attentive, beyond fair, and Brian is the most amazing diamond aficionado I know. Within a few visits it was like I took a master class in diamonds and engagement rings. Hands down the most informative and most personable experience I've ever had shopping for jewelry. I'll be a customer for life. Side note: they're new office and showroom is stunning. Bravo.

If you are looking for quality design, great selection and exceptional customer service in a jeweler, look no more. I have been going to AvantGarde Jewelers for 29 years. It is a family owned Austin original! They are trustworthy, fun and Brian and his team of craftsmen and women can design you that special something. Their inventory is exceptional. Their design work is guaranteed, they aren’t happy until you are happy but usually they nail it the first time. Thank you Brian, Tamara and your team. Love you guys! Carol Lauder 11/19
