From his days selling beads along the “UT Drag” in the early 1970’s, to his success as a fine jewelry retailer, Russell Korman and his one store are unique to Austin and Central Texas. Self-educated and uncompromising in the quality of his merchandise, Korman took a stand early on not to artificially inflate prices just to lower them for “sales”. Consequently, Russell Korman Fine Jewelry and Watches is now one of Austin’s favorite places to buy its fine jewelry.

Charitable contributions have been at the heart of the business from the beginning. As a member of the Austin community, Korman wants nothing more than to give back to the community that has given his business so much. Russell Korman Fine Jewelry and Watches is a proud supporter of many Austin charities including The Settlement Home of Austin, The Nolan Ryan Foundation, The Junior League of Austin, The Wine and Food Foundation of Texas, Seton and Children’s Hospitals, Helping Hand Home for Children, River City Youth Foundation, 100 Club and over 50 others during the past year.

Russell Korman operates one retail location at 38th Street and Lamar Boulevard in Central Austin. Staff members, including brother Hank Korman and his wife Monica, have an extensive amount of experience with the company, and enjoy educating their customers to make well-informed purchases. The supportive sales staff does not work on commission, which adds to the relaxed atmosphere and energy you’ll find in the store. But the convenient location, relaxed atmosphere and knowledgeable staff are only part of what makes it a special place to buy special treasures.
