History
Austin & Elkins was established on the premise that each client and every transaction is as important as the next, no matter the project or price. The founder created her own niche and Austin & Elkins opened as the only DC Metro area jeweler to specialize in 18 karat gold and platinum. We focus on what matters most, you the client, the finest quality products, and uncompromising business ethics. Always looking for ways to improve our business model, we evolved into a by-appointment gallery. Working by appointment affords us the time we need to ensure that every detail is attended to, that no one is looking over your shoulder while you make thoughtful and often times emotional decisions, and that you have the opportunity to examine all options available to you. We invite you to experience the difference.
