I had an excellent experience working with Midas Manufacturing to purchase a custom engagement ring. From our initial consultation onwards, Charles and Cat were always honest, knowledgeable and professional. I never felt rushed or pressured to make decisions, they always answered my questions and explained every step of the process. With his expertise and connections, Charles was able to find the perfect stone that fit both my wish list and my budget. In the end, they made me an absolutely stunning ring that my fiancée loves.? This place is a real gem of a local business, and I'll recommend to anyone who asks for a good local jeweler.

The best place in Austin to have custom jewelry created. Charles is fair and upfront. You can trust him. He has been there over 30 years. They also do excellent repair work. None better.

They were so helpful when my (now-)fiance and I went into their office to discuss an engagement ring. They had sourced a gorgeous lab sapphire and the woman was so knowledgeable. I had no real idea of what I wanted, just knew that I wanted something that would have a fairly low profile, be fairly robust when I throw my hands around, etc. They didn't upsell, they just gave helpful information about what kinds of things work for different needs.

We had the best experience coming here. I found this hole in the wall local jewelry shop from Reddit reviews, and I’m so glad I did!Cat was amazing and very honest. Her honesty won us over.I was hoping to get a ring (that I ordered from somewhere else) resized but it didn’t work out (I got it on Etsy and it was very cheap) and she helped me with my situation. She gave us quotes on a different ring, and we ended up returning because of our experience. We didn’t feel cornered like we usually felt when we went to a large jewelry store chain.She made sure we were charged a super fair price and the turnaround on the ring was super fast!We truly recommend supporting this small local business just as they have supported all their customers! Buy your important (wedding) rings here!!! I honestly would not consider shopping for any other jewelry at big box stores who are just looking to make a sale while Midas Manufacturing is looking to make loyal longtime customers.

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 dreams come true.

34 years ago Midas created my Husbands beautiful wedding ring. This year for our Anniversary we decided it was time to update my wedding band. It’s beautiful. The team at Midas is as talented as they ever were and I encourage you to see them for something unique and yours instead of something mass produced.

I went with my daughter to pick up a custom piece made by Kat. I was very impress with her knowledge and the piece is beautiful. Kat was highly recommended to my daughter and we were so happy with her work.

Wonderful place to get jewelry repairs done. Very talented and knowledgeable owner/staff! Lots of impressively hand-made pieces to purchase or they will even sit down with you and assist you in designing a dreamy custom piece! A hidden “gem” in Austin.

Very happy with the experience. I had some old earrings and loose stones that I wanted to turn into a ring. Cat and Charles were able to take my chicken scratch drawings and jumble of ideas and turn them into a beautiful heirloom piece. Highly recommended if you're looking to make a custom piece. Because they don't maintain glitzy fancy storefront or spend tons on advertisement, prices are very reasonable too.

My fiance and I recently purchased her engagement ring through Midas. Neither she nor I have much of any experience with jewelry so we had a million d*** questions to which our specialist (Cat) had a million patient answers. Shopping online was like wading in sea of contradictory (or downright incorrect) info about diamonds, metals, ring designs, etc.. Cat and Midas broke it all down for us and made the process SO much easier for us! In the end, we got a ring that we are extremely happy with and at a great price! We'll definitely be coming back for our wedding bands!
