Midas Manufacturing — Local services in Austin

From the moment you step into Midas Manufacturing, you're greeted and treated as an old friend. None of that stuffy attitude you might find at other high-end jewelry stores! Charles, the owner, and Cat, the designer, made me feel right at home from the get-go.

These talented folks did an amazing job creating a pendant with some antique stones I had. I came in with a very, very rough sketch as a starting point, and Cat worked her magic and created something that far exceeded my expectations!

Cat is extremely creative, insightful, and honest, and by the end of our consultation, it was clear she had a great feel for my style and what I was looking for in the pendant.

Within a week, she sent me a computer render of exactly what the piece would look like. It was fantastic! I changed my mind about a couple of elements and requested a tweak to the design. She was incredibly patient with me and sent me another render incorporating the changes within days. It was perfect! Working so closely with Cat during the design process was stress-free, and her delightful, sunny personality made it so fun!

Then, Charles created the pendant. He has 35 years of experience as a jeweler, and it shows. The craftmanship is outstanding!

These extremely kind folks strive to make sure you are 100% satisfied with your new jewelry--and it's a given you will be! They also have stunning ready-made jewelry. Drop by this hidden gem of a shop. They will...

I can’t say enough good things about this Jewelry company. I don’t call it a store, because they are SO much more than that. My fiancé proposed to me with my grandmother’s wedding ring. It was a large, solitaire diamond on a gold wedding band. We knew we wanted to have it re-set/ re-designed into something a little more modern, so a friend of ours referred us to Midas Manufacturing. From the moment we called to book the consultation, everyone one has been so friendly and helpful. Cat, the designer, listened carefully to what we wanted (and was extremely patient in explaining the things we knew nothing about). Within a week and a half or so, she had emailed us the design renderings, and they were GORGEOUS. I asked to make one small change, and she sent us an updated rendering within a day. It was perfect. Aaron, the stone setter, did an incredible job bringing Cat’s design to life. When we picked up the ring, I was speechless. It’s EXACTLY what I envisioned. Charles, the owner, was extremely kind and thanked us for trusting him and his staff with such a special family heirloom. We will definitely be...

Midas Manufacturing's team is attentive, creative, and talented. We wanted to get custom rings for our engagement and wedding and Cat's enthusiasm immediately was a highlight in our interactions. It truly felt that when we spoke she was listening to the small details in our request. At other custom places the person who discusses your design desires isn't always the designer and we could immediately see the difference in thoughtfulness and care in the first mockups Cat provided us compared to other places.

The process was straight-forward and transparent: a few in-person meetings to talk about ring design and gem selection, rendered proofs, a physical wax print for final consideration, and lastly the casting and setting of the rings. Throughout the adventure Cat and Charles were present and willing to answer our questions and design concerns. The resulting jewelry is stunning and unique; it truly is inspired by my personal tastes and constantly gets compliments. We will definitely return to have additional pieces made! Thank you Midas for making our...
