From classic solitaires to one-of-a-kind custom creations, discover why Austin couples trust Diamonds Above for the most important purchase of their lives.
Shopping for an engagement ring in Austin should feel as exciting as the proposal itself. At Diamonds Above, located on Guadalupe Street near the University of Texas campus, we have spent decades helping Central Texas couples find and create rings that tell their unique love stories. Our white-glove concierge approach means every detail—from stone selection to setting design—is handled with the same care and attention you deserve for the most important purchase of your life. Whether you are drawn to the energy of South Congress, the charm of East Austin, or the quiet beauty of the Hill Country, our showroom is your destination for rings that match the spirit of this city.
Unlike the big-box jewelry chains along the I-35 corridor, we offer a private, appointment-based experience where you receive the full attention of a GIA-certified gemologist. There are no pushy sales tactics here—just honest expertise, transparent pricing, and a genuine passion for helping you find the right stone and setting. Being local to Austin means we are invested in you long after you leave our showroom. Our clients often tell us that the intimate, knowledgeable atmosphere is what sets us apart from every other jeweler in Austin.
Austin is a city that values originality, and your engagement ring should be no different. Our custom design process begins with a dedicated design consultation at our showroom, where we discuss your partner's style, your vision, and your budget in complete privacy. From there, our team creates detailed CAD renderings so you can see and refine every angle before a single tool touches metal. Whether you envision a vintage-inspired halo, a modern bezel-set lab-grown diamond, or something entirely unique, we bring it to life with meticulous craftsmanship—and our local team is with you every step of the way.
Every custom ring is handcrafted specifically for you. We source natural and lab-grown diamonds directly, cutting out the middlemen that inflate prices at traditional Austin jewelry stores. The result is a ring that looks like it belongs in a luxury showcase on Congress Avenue—at a price that respects your budget. Book your design consultation today and experience the difference that a true local jeweler makes.
The Austin market has seen a significant shift toward lab-grown diamonds, and Diamonds Above was one of the first jewelers in Central Texas to offer a curated collection alongside our natural stone inventory. Lab-grown diamonds are physically and chemically identical to mined diamonds—they simply originate in a controlled environment rather than underground. For many Austin buyers, especially those in the tech community near the Domain or UT campus, the value proposition is compelling: a larger, higher-quality stone for 30 to 50 percent less than a comparable mined diamond.
We carry both options because we believe the choice should always be yours. During your consultation, we walk you through the differences side-by-side so you can make a confident, informed decision. Every diamond we sell—natural or lab-grown—comes with full certification and our quality guarantee.
Every diamond comes with independent certification so you know exactly what you are getting—no guesswork, no inflated grades.
Our CAD designers and master jewelers work under one roof, giving you complete control from concept to finished ring.
We buy diamonds and gemstones directly from cutters, passing the savings on to you. No middlemen, no markups.

“We walked into Diamonds Above after visiting three other jewelers on Congress and along the Drag. The difference was immediate—no pressure, real expertise, and they helped me design a ring my fiancée absolutely adores. Worth every penny.”
“As a UT grad, I wanted to support a local Austin business for something this important. Diamonds Above made the entire process stress-free. The lab-grown diamond they helped me choose is stunning and came in well under my budget.”
