Community & Giving Back | Diamonds Above Austin

Our Commitment

More Than a Jeweler

When you've been part of a community for over 40 years, the line between business and belonging starts to blur. Our customers become friends. Their milestones become our milestones. And the neighborhoods we serve become places we care about deeply.

That's why community involvement has never been something we had to schedule or plan. It's simply how we operate—because Austin gave us everything, and we want to give as much as we can back.

Giving Back

Charitable Initiatives

We believe that a business rooted in celebrating life's meaningful moments has a responsibility to create meaningful moments for others, too. Here are some of the ways we put that belief into action.

Annual Charity Fundraisers

Each year, we host events that bring our community together to raise funds for Austin families in need.

Jewelry Donation Drives

We collect and refurbish donated jewelry, giving pre-loved pieces new life and directing proceeds to local organizations.

Surprise & Delight Program

Throughout the year, we quietly sponsor special pieces for customers and community members going through difficult times.

Local Craft

Supporting Austin Artisans

Austin has always been a city of makers. From South Congress to East Austin, this city runs on creativity and craftsmanship. We're proud to be part of that tradition and to support the artisans who keep it alive.

Our Story

Our Austin Story

Diamonds Above started in 1986 with a simple idea: that buying jewelry should feel personal, not transactional. Austin was smaller then, and so were we. But from the very beginning, we were part of the fabric of this city—showing up at local events, getting to know our neighbors, and treating every customer like family.

Over the decades, we've watched Austin grow into one of the most dynamic cities in the country. New neighborhoods, new faces, new energy. Through all that change, our commitment has stayed the same: serve this community with honesty, expertise, and heart. We've helped three generations of Austin families celebrate their most meaningful moments, and we plan to be here for three more.

Today, when you walk into our showroom on Guadalupe Street, you're not walking into a store. You're walking into a piece of Austin history. And we wouldn't have it any other way.
