We search the world for the unusual and beautiful. Our collection is ever changing. Search our current collections or contact us if you have a special request. We have additional inventory in our shop, so please contact us if you are looking for something in particular. Each year, Bell and Bird accepts a limited number of truly bespoke jewels.
We design our clients commissioned jewels to the best proportion, with suitable details and in the right materials for their desired end. We begin with initial consultations and watercolor renderings. Highly skilled jewelers use the most traditional methods to execute our designs. After nine years in our original location we moved into our 'blue house'.

Services
Two Victorian Era explorers, Gertrude Bell and Isabella Bird, inspired the name of our shop. We are tucked away in Austin, Texas, but travel far and wide. Owners, Rhianna and Cyrus Shennum hunt for fine antiques that are many generations old but still relevant today. Our evolving collection is carefully curated for our collectors as well as serving as the inspiration for our in-house designs.
We are often requested by clients to create something entirely unique. Whether for an important family heirloom stone or a fine gem from our collection of antique stones, each project is approached with genuine care and precision by highly skilled jewelers. Our experience and extensive archive of antique pieces guide our aesthetic.

Amazing selection of antique jewelry you won't find anywhere else in Austin. I was able to find a early 19th century Parisian engagement ring that perfectly matched my girlfriend (now fiancée)'s style.
Come into the store and you'll be overwhelmed with the selection: the owners have a great eye. You may want to call ahead as it's a three person operation and sometimes they have to close shop while finding new pieces. Worth the wait.

Want jewelry that is one of a kind? Literally, a ring owned by French aristocracy or hand-crafted by a jeweler by candlelight in the 1800s?
Bell and Bird specializes in antique and custom jewelry. I reluctantly post them on Yelp as they are my go-to for custom pieces.
If you want jewelry no one else on earth owns - go here. There's nothing like it.
And Cyrus is as nice, knowledgeable and passionate about jewelry as you can get.
If they get any busier, I will regret this Yelp review. I feel I gotta share the love though. If you want something special, GO. You may find your engagement ring
