In Short – This downtown staple has been on the corner of Eighth and Congress since 1939, allowing generations of couples to stroll arm-and-arm past their glittering storefront on the way to the Paramount or Little City. The large and varied diamond collection fills the shop. A hands-on staff, headed by owner David Kruger, teaches customers about cut and quality, allowing everyone from waiters to CEOs to find the perfect gift.
Editor's Tips
- Parking:
- There's a 15-minute spot in front of the store for those who aren't wasting time. Shoppers in a decision-making state should look toward the spots in front of the Paramount.
Beautiful craftsmanship
by JameyO at Citysearch
I brought in a mixed bag of old jewelry that I didn't wear anymore and tasked Sam, the jeweler, with building me a beautiful ring. What I really appreciated is that when Kruger's called me with a quote- they provided two different options. One quote was to build it in platinum and the other was for 14k white gold. I opted to have them build it out of platinum. From the time I called them to pull the trigger on building the ring it took 9 days to finish. The final ring is BEAUTIFUL!!!! You would never know it was made from "spare parts." Sam did an amazing job with my ring. I cannot wait for my next purchase. :)
Kruger's: Repair Cost

I recently had ring repaired that was a family heirloom. I was expecting the repairs to be much more expensive than I was charged. Their service was excellent.
Amazing experience

The staff A Kruger is amazing- Zoe and Rachel are great at explaining all facets in purchasing a diamond. If you want a pleasant shopping experience I recommend Kruger, their approach un-like their competitor is genuinely warm.
Zoe you are a Cybe-celebrity
GREAT Jeweler Sam
by krytry at Citysearch
The best part about this jewelry "store" is the wonderful jeweler Sam. My fiance ordered the engagement ring and band from another company through Kruger, and the two did not match well (they were ordered separately). Everyone seemed skeptical about it being able to be fixed, but the jeweler -- who did a PERFECT job fixing it! Kruger even allowed the fix at no charge since it wasn't matched up correctly to start with.
Sam is now fixing a ring for me cosmetically, and I trust him completely. He is so knowledgeable, down to earth, and awesome!!
The saleswoman, Zoey, is also very friendly and honest - which is a great plus.
You owe it to yourself to buy with Kruger's.

Our experience with Kruger's was perfect. My husband bought me a anniversary three stone ring and while we were there, found the exact gold wedding bands that we married with. My diamond ring was exactly what I wanted and I got to meet the man that was going to size it. They were so helpful and determined to get my ring just right. It is so beautiful!!
Kruger's has an array of jewelry and goodies for everyone, I found about 10 items I wanted!!LOL. The staff is beyond superb in customer service alone. I am a 4th generation Austinite and Kruger's gives service old school Austin.
I can't say enough about this company, I could gush on for hours about my experience.
Make sure you pet the cat that is either in the windows with the diamonds or curled up in oneof the leather chairs, as a cat lover myself, this just made our shopping all the better.
You can't go wrong here, you will be treated with respect, personalized customer service and a gorgeous piece of jewelry.
