YEAR AFTER YEAR BEST JEWELER: DAVID HOUSE & BEST PLACE TO BUY JEWELRY DavidHouseJewelry
David House Jewelry LLC is delighted to celebrate its 8th anniversary this upcoming May. Words cannot express the happiness that I feel to have been part of special occasions for all of my clients, as well as serving a multigenerational population throughout Paris and its surrounding towns. I have been fortunate enough to reside in Paris, Texas for more than 40 years, and during that time, my wife Lisa and I have raised three daughters in a community of which we can proudly be a part. Beginning my apprenticeship at W. M. House Jewelry - led by my cousin W. M. House - I was privy to the invaluable wisdom that he imparted. It is due to my cousin’s training, as well as the broad backing of the local community, that I can still attend to all of your jewelry needs. With the support of the entire community behind us, it is possible for us to continue providing for and giving back to Paris with our small business.
Every day, I arise with a renewed dedi-
cation to serve my community and my esteemed David House Jewelry customers. After more than 40 years in the jewelry industry, and buoyed by the encouragement of my family, I took a leap of faith and opened my store. In addition to an extensive selection of fine jewelry, watches, gifts, and one-of-a-kind pieces, we are exceptionally fortunate to have Danielle Berrett, our on-site bench jeweler. This is quite rare in the industry - allowing customers to entrust us with the repair of their precious jewelry in-house, rather than having it shipped to unfamiliar destinations. We take great pride in being able to proudly display the largest selection of diamond jewelry and gifts in northeast Texas and southeast Oklahoma. I am blessed to own and operate a family business. Lisa, my talented wife, and my three gifted daughters, contribute to our daily operations and success as well. My staff includes manager Andee Teague (who has been with us for 7 years), sales associate Cody Conway (5 years), sales associate
Cord Luquette (3 years and specializes in watch batteries and bands) and sales associate Haley Hill (2 years). Lastly, Danielle has been with us for 5 years and is remarkably skilled in repair work, allowing us the privilege of same day repairs. All my employees are extremely knowledgeable and highly prepared to address customer inquiries. I am grateful to have such a qualified team to serve our customers with me. At David House Jewelry, we are committed to delivering the highest quality workmanship and unrivaled service, assets that our customers can all be assured to always receive when shopping here. We also offer special financing opportunities, allowing our customers flexibility.
We’re eagerly looking forward to celebrating another great year alongside our DHJ family. From Paris locals to those from neighboring states, we are honored to be your go-to destination for all your jewelry needs at David House Jewelry, Where Everything Shines!

Drove six hours to get a vehicle from these guys and I have to say this probably has been the easiest and quickest process of buying a car. They had us in and out and didn’t try to add on a bunch of extras. Great people at this dealer, I’ll definitely be back. I told them what I wanted on my trade-in… Jay Hodge made it work with no questions asked.

Jordan was excellent to work with. She was knowledgeable about the car and very friendly. She was very helpful when coming to sign the paperwork and getting all signatures needed. Will not have a problem referring customers to her. It was the best car experience I have ever had.

The crew at Driveum are so kind and considerate. We were met at the door and offered beverages immediately. They answered all questions without being condescending or using typical car salesman tones. They seemed to actually care about their relationship with their clients. I came to support my sister with her new car purchase and left in a new car myself! Highly recommend! Kane is awesome and Stephen explains the financials amazingly.
