History

Established in 1969.

Amindo Cristiani, an emigrant from Italy, opened A. Cristiani Jeweler in Bronx, NY in the 1930’s. A trained watch maker, Amindo taught his son, Michael (Mike), the watch and clock trade. Mike began his own career with Bulova Watch Company, and later was assigned to Midland, TX as a bombsite technician during World War II. After the war, Mike opened Cristiani’s Jewelers in Midland in 1969. Like generations before, Mike’s son, David, grew up in the family business. In 1993, David and his wife, Carlene, purchased the store from Mike, and then in 2005, opened a second location in Austin, TX. David’s daughters, Courtney and Paige, now both work in the family business, managing the Austin location, as well as the marketing and advertising initiatives. This local business truly is a family affair!

Business Owner

David Cristiani, grandson of the founder of Cristiani’s Jewelers, grew up in Midland, TX working in the family jewelry store. During college, he was a member of the Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M and graduated with an accounting degree. Later, he moved to Houston as the branch manager of a mortgage company. There, he met and married Carlene Patton, a UT graduate. In the mid-1970’s, the oil boom created a growing economy in West Texas, so David returned to Midland to help his father with the family business. David and Carlene then had two daughters, Courtney and Paige. Several years later, upon Mike’s retirement, David purchased the business in Midland.
