History

Established in 1959.

IN 1959 Jack Austin started Austin Diamond on South University Street. In 1980 Brenda Warburton started manufacturing for Mr. Austin as part of her thriving wholesale business. By 1987 the wholsale business need to change and we purchased Austin DIamond and by late 1989 changed hte name to Austin and Warburton. SInce, we have prospered by selling only what we make and avoiding the pitfalls of cheap foreign jewelery. In 2009, as the world began to face shange, we closed our walk in retail store and took from it the things that really matter, the manufafcuring. We contnueo t only sell what we make and now do it by appointment from our location on Kinglsey Street.
