Established in Austin, Texas, 2025
Every piece made starts with a story… what’s yours?
How a piece is created
01 — Conversation
We sit. We sketch. We understand why this piece needs to exist — the person, the occasion, the emotion and story it carries.
02 — Design & Fabricate
We then choose to either hand-fabricate or hand-carve your piece. We work with metal and wax, then hand-set the stones. You see progress photos at every stage of the bench.
Off-the-shelf jewelry was made for nobody. The piece we make will be uniquely yours. Sam Tyson · Goldsmith
03 — Delivery
We engrave, perform a final inspection, and present our final creation. Delivered in Austin or shipped insured.
Our Philosophy
What we make should last beyond our time.

On our work
"The craftsmanship on these handmade pendants is genuinely next level — nothing mass-produced, nothing rushed."
Keith P. · Dallas, TX
The Bench
Every ring, pendant, and bracelet starts as raw metal and stone. We carve wax, pour metal, file, set, and polish by hand in our Austin studio. One piece at a time. No mass casting. The irregularities aren't flaws — they're proof a human made this.
I wouldn’t wear a ring that wasn’t made for me.
I won’t ask you to either. Sam Tyson · Goldsmith

What our clients say
Great experience, I sent in a piece of Marra Mamba tiger eye I had, and these guys turned it into an heirloom piece. Everything handcrafted, the bezel, chain, topped off with a custom design on the back. Happy with how it turned out, appreciated the updates and check ins during the process and the care that went into making this worthy to pass down.
Great place! I got my engagement ring for my fiance made here and it was amazing, quick, beautiful and not over priced. We will be back for our wedding rings soon, thank you!
Impeccable Craftsmanship & True Collaboration If you are looking for a jeweler that prioritizes the mechanics of design over just selling a product, Westlake Goldsmiths is the standard. I worked with Sam and Zach to create a custom diamond ring for my wife, and the experience was flawless. The Process: They walked me through every variable, from the initial sketches to stone sourcing. The Communication: I felt involved in every step of the benchwork. There was no "box store" feel; this was high-level artisan work. The Result: The final ring was absolutely mind-blowing. The precision of the setting and the quality of the gold work are superior to anything I’ve seen elsewhere. If you want a piece that is truly unique and built to last, this is the only place in Austin to go.
Worked with the WLG team to create a custom engagement ring for my now fiancée. I had talked to a few different jewelers before working with Zach. I knew from the very first time we spoke it this is who I was going to use. From sourcing the stone with Zach to going over designs with Jamie to getting CAD drawings to make sure every little detail was perfect. I couldn’t imagine doing this with anyone else. They took their time to rarely make sure things were covered every step of the way. And, the biggest success of all. She loves it and said Yes!
Okay, I am obsessed! My partner had my engagement ring made here and the result is pure magic. The stone is unreal, and every detail of the band is just as beautiful. Knowing this team personally only makes it sweeter. They poured real care into this piece, and you can feel it. If you want something truly one of a kind that actually reflects who you are, this is the place. Thank you for making something I will treasure forever.
The passion, craftsmanship, and skilled attention to detail is so clear through the entire process of working with Zach, Jamie and Sam. My ring is absolutely stunning - designed and built to perfection.
Had two custom pendants made at Westlake Goldsmiths and the experience was top to bottom excellent. One 18kt yellow gold sapphire pendant and one 18kt yellow gold garnet pendant — both handmade in their Austin shop. They walked me through the whole custom jewelry process: stone selection, design, and progress updates as each piece came together. The craftsmanship on these handmade pendants is genuinely next level — nothing mass-produced, nothing rushed. If you're looking for a real goldsmith in Austin for custom fine jewelry or bespoke gemstone pendants, this is the place. Already planning my next commission.
