Print & Media
Before search engines and social feeds, Houstonians discovered our family business through newspapers, glossy magazines, and business journals. That legacy continues today with multi-generation coverage of Houston Jewelry, Andre Pailet, and the Solomon/Donsky family.
From op-eds about responsible open-carry policies to trend reports on bridal design, the press has chronicled how we serve the Gulf Coast with integrity, innovation, and community leadership.
- Houston’s longest-tenured independent jeweler, cited for ethics and expertise since 1953.
- Andre Pailet watches and bridal collections featured statewide for Swiss engineering and Houston flair.
- Community advocacy recognized by outlets covering retail policy, philanthropy, and hurricane recovery.
