David MedinaHere’s a pro tip I have for accessorizing: jewellery can be an amazing way to style yourself with. Sure, you can hit up a tailor in El Paso and get yourself a nice suit, but a good watch or bracelet can make you extra spiffy.
That said, too much jewellery can also be tacky, and maintaining them takes time. That’s why when you’re picking out some for yourself or even for someone special, it’s always a good thing to consult professionals!
My favorite ring’s been looking a little worn out, and now that one of my friends is looking to put a ring on his partner finally? Well, we got together to do a trip through the various jewellery shops in El Paso to find the perfect one. Here’s our favorites!
How much does it cost to buy from a jewellery shop in El Paso?
Buying jewellery from a dedicated jewellery shop in El Paso can set you back anywhere from $20 to $5000, depending on the type of jewellery, the materials and the quality of the gemstones, if any.
1. Johnson Jewelers
Address: 5860 N Mesa St #118, El Paso, TX 79912

A ring is such an integral part of any wedding, and seeing a personalized one at a wedding venue in El Paso can get hearts fluttering real fast. Luckily, we’ve got some local newlyweds to tell us their secret: they got theirs at Johnson Jewelers.
Right off the jump, we were pretty pleased by what we found on our visit. The store was home to various rings, both pre-made and customizable. The options to customize these were varied as well, from the material to the gemstones!
If their base designs aren’t quite your style, customers also reassured us that the team was pretty flexible with design requests. If you have a specific style in mind, we’d definitely recommend asking.
Finally, we also took note of their refurbishing services. These garnered praise from customers as well, so we find this comes in handy for those who just want to get their existing jewellery touched up.
That being said, these refurbishing services did come at a pretty high price point even compared to other jewellery shops around. We’d recommend getting a price estimate for your jewellery just in case!
Very communicative and helpful throughout the entire process
“Raul went above and beyond to work with my (now) fiancée and I on crafting such a beautiful ring! We worked with him for a few days, and he was very communicative and helpful throughout the entire process.”

Johnson Jewelers became the best fit for us

Getting jewellery can be a bit of a tough process. Between the sizing, materials, and even the quality of the gemstones, it can be tricky to get started: luckily, locals were happy to recommend Paramount Jewelers as a good starting point!
The first thing we have to praise was the shop itself. On our visit, we found the shop space pretty clean and well-organized, with ample displays to help customers browse their various designs without having to look too hard.
A particular highlight among customers was the staff’s recommendations, which were reportedly rather reliable. Customers mentioned the team helping them select pieces that align with their usual style and budget.
Speaking of which, customers also praised how informative the team was about jewellery. Many praised their expertise and clear explanations, helping customers understand the differences between materials and giving tips on how to clean them.
On that note, the shop also offered repair and cleaning services. Some customers did mention that these could take pretty long though, so we’d advise getting an estimated time or bringing something to wait with just in case.
Her energy and friendly customer service combined was so amazing
“During my recent visit, Midi helped my find the most perfect engagement ring within our budget!! Her energy and friendly customer service combined was so amazing and it felt like we’ve been best friends for years!”

Anyone with a few pieces of their own will know that jewellery shops aren’t just for getting yourself new ones. Those looking to get existing pieces appraised readily put Susan Eisen Fine Jewelry & Watches on our radar, and it wasn’t hard to see why!
From the moment we reached out, we were surprised by how quickly the team got back to us. They were able to give us details within just a short time span after our initial query, with regulars happily vouching for this timeliness as well.
Attentiveness was also another highlight customers praised. The team was notably pretty thorough with their restoration services, sticking as closely as they could to the jewellery’s design and any customer requests.
This extended to their appraisal services, which seemed to be a favorite at the shop. Customers reported being pretty satisfied with the team’s appraisal, helping them get a good idea on the value of their jewellery.
That being said, if you’re going for an appraisal or a refurbishing, we’d advise confirming your appointment schedule. A few regulars let us know that these appointments could get delayed on short notice.
Everyone was extremely professional and courteous
“Susan called me first to explain the issues and asked for my approval to proceed. They were able to do it and it was beautiful. Everyone was extremely professional and courteous. I wouldn’t hesitate to come in again and would recommend them to anyone.”

Wanting to get some jewellery but don’t have a design crystal clear in your head just yet? Sometimes you just need a shop to browse designs and pick out something nice, and for plenty of locals, that was exactly what they got at CBC Fine Jewelers.
During our visit, we were pretty surprised by the wide variety of jewellery there was available. Apart from the classics like rings, earrings and neckwear, there was also quite the range of chains and bracelets for various looks.
Another factor we appreciated was the transparency. Their prices were clearly laid out, and customers were happy to let us know this applied to the timelines for their custom designed jewellery as well. That’s a plus in our book for customers with tight schedules!
These services didn’t take long as well, according to regulars we got to chat with. Most customers could get their jewellery back within a timely fashion, which is pretty handy for customers needing to attend an event.
With that in mind, a few customers mentioned wanting some more improvement on their repair and refurbishing. Some reported the longevity of the fixes not lasting as long as they’d like, resulting in multiple appointments.
Estimates and timelines were communicated clearly

Nothing says luxury more than gold and silver jewellery, and Palacio Gold & Silver has been quite the popular name for these! With locals swearing by their customization and variety, we knew we just had to visit.
When we swung by, the first thing to catch our eye was the variety of gold and silver pieces they had! In particular, we appreciated the range of graduation rings and pendants, which came with various designs from crosses to badges.
If none of them catch your eye, we got to hear from regulars that the shop takes custom designs as well! Those we got to chat with reported being happy with the quality of their custom-made products.
All of these at surprisingly reasonable price ranges, which surprised us a fair bit! Customers looking to get themselves some nice gold jewellery can definitely try looking here for one that fits their budget without breaking the bank.
With that in mind, we’d recommend calling ahead for the availability of certain designs or jewellery before visiting. Regulars reported their stock tending to fluctuate, resulting in some designs being unavailable on their visits.
