Louisiana Coin & Jewelry was founded in 1958 and remains family owned and operated, now working on their third generation. They originally opened downtown in the location that now hosts Robinson Film Center. The business started as collectible coins and cards but ventured into jewelry a few years later as customers began requesting jewelry made with coins. About 80% of their business is now from jewelry.
Their newer products and custom designed jewelry has really grown this year. They are getting more and more requests for taking their customers design and seeing it through to completion in as little as 8-14 days! They have also experienced a large growth in custom bridal jewelry as well as the higher end costume jewelry.
Some of their best selling lines of costume jewelry:
- Kendra Scott from Austin, they are only 1 of 2 locations in town that represent her line.
- Amanda Sterett of Dallas is also becoming more and more popular.
- Rustic Cuff out of Oklahoma City was added to their line the last year and a half.
As always, Fine jewelry and diamonds are a huge piece to their success. They deal with pre-owned watches, are an authorized ROLEX dealer, do jewelry repair/resizing and of course, everything comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
