I was in a real fix when a jeweler I had contracted for an engagement ring flaked on me after months of assuring me the ring would be ready by Christmas. I went into Beyond Tradition on a prayer. I explained my situation to the owners and they immediately recommended an artist who surpassed all my wildest dreams as far as quality (a certified master goldsmith from Germany), and personal care (he had the ring ready in a week, three days before Christmas). This is the kind of quality and professionalism that Beyond Traditions represents and brings to the public.
As a side note, the jeweler that took my deposit and did nothing for several months but lead me on has work displayed at a neighboring 2nd St. jewelry store. Until now I had no idea the major differences that exists between each boutique in the downtown area. Some stores carry nice things while other stores carry exceptional artistry and accountability. Beyond Tradition is certainly a store of the second variety and I recommend stopping in, at the very least to see some of the finest quality jewelry in Austin, made by local artists.
Pros: High quality merchandise, friendly owners
