Custom engagement rings and fine jewelry for Lake Travis couples—from the marinas of Volente to the vineyards near Jonestown. Experience Austin’s premier concierge jeweler, just one beautiful drive away.
Lake Travis is not just a body of water—it is a way of life. From the quiet coves near Volente and Briarcliff to the marina communities of Point Venture and the laid-back Hill Country charm of Lago Vista and Jonestown, this stretch of the Colorado River and its surrounding communities cultivates a romance that is equal parts natural beauty and small-town warmth. The students and families near Lake Travis High School grow up watching sunsets over the water that rival anything in the Texas landscape. That backdrop shapes the way Lake Travis couples think about their most important purchases—and it shapes the rings they want.
At Diamonds Above, we have been designing jewelry for couples across the greater Austin area since 1986, and we understand what Lake Travis residents are looking for: rings that feel organic and authentic, craftsmanship that holds up to an active outdoor lifestyle, and a buying experience that does not feel like a high-pressure retail transaction. Our showroom at 4101 Guadalupe Street in Austin is a private, appointment-based environment where the entire focus is on you. No crowds, no commission-driven salespeople, no compromise.
Many of our most distinctive custom designs have come from Lake Travis couples who drew inspiration from the landscape itself. A pear-shaped diamond that echoes the silhouette of a cypress tree at the water’s edge. An oval halo ring set in rose gold that captures the warm light of a Hill Country sunset. A nature-inspired band with leaf and vine details that reflects the live oak and cedar country surrounding the lake. These are not cookie-cutter designs—they are one-of-a-kind pieces built around the life you actually live.
Our custom design process starts with a private consultation where we learn about your partner, your vision, and your budget. We then produce detailed CAD renderings that you can review and refine until the design is exactly right. Once approved, our master jewelers hand-build the ring using the finest materials we can source at the price that makes sense for you. Whether you choose a natural GIA-certified diamond or a lab-grown stone, every piece carries our quality guarantee and full certification.
The Texas Hill Country wine trail runs through the rolling cedars and limestone ridges just beyond Lake Travis’s northern shores, and many of our most memorable proposals have happened in this corridor—over a bottle of estate red at a vineyard dinner, on a private terrace with the lake shimmering in the distance, or at a secluded spot along the trail at golden hour. We love designing rings for couples whose romance is woven into this landscape. If you are planning a wine country proposal and need a ring that matches the moment, our team is ready to help you create it.
We help Lake Travis couples plan the perfect ring for the perfect moment. Here are some of the proposal settings our clients have chosen—and the ring styles that made them unforgettable.
A private sunset sail from one of the Lake Travis marina communities—Point Venture, Volente, or the Jonestown shoreline—creates an unforgettable backdrop. We recommend an oval or round brilliant in a simple bezel or pavé solitaire setting that catches the last light perfectly.
The Hill Country wine trail near Lago Vista and Jonestown has produced some of the most romantic proposals we have heard. A candlelit table at a private vineyard pairs beautifully with an oval halo or vintage-inspired cushion ring—warm, romantic, and full of character.
The limestone bluffs at Pace Bend Park offer panoramic views of the lake at their most dramatic. For proposals here, our clients often choose bold, architectural designs—an east-west elongated emerald cut or a marquise set east-west in a minimal band—that match the scale of the landscape.

Then a neighbor recommended Diamonds Above. The custom ring they designed for our anniversary is inspired by the limestone and cedar of the Hill Country—there is nothing else like it. The drive in from Lago Vista on 1431 is absolutely worth it.”
“I proposed to my fiancée on our boat near Point Venture—and the ring I got from Diamonds Above was the centerpiece of the whole moment. They helped me choose an oval lab-grown diamond in a nature-inspired setting that looked like it was made for the water. She cried. I cried. Even the dog was emotional. Could not be happier with the service.”
“My family has had a lake house in Jonestown since the ’90s and I graduated from Lake Travis High School. When I got engaged, I wanted to use a local jeweler who understood this part of Texas. Diamonds Above is exactly that. They took my grandmother’s diamond and reset it into a completely modern design that honors its history. The result is stunning.”
