Unique Style, Great Service

by SteveAndFrances

We had shopped at many jewelry stores both in and out of Houston before we discovered this gem. No matter what your budget, you can find something both unique and personal at Silverlust. The staff are always very attentive and willing to work with you to help find (or create) something for you (or yours) that will be very special. Nice people, too!

• Pros: Variety of jewelry (not just silver!), Unique items, Warm and helpful service
• Cons: none

Jewelry for, like, dudes and dudettes, you know?

The Scene
This Montrose shop features moderately priced ethnic jewelry from all over the world, including items from Israel, Egypt, Bali, Italy, Thailand, India and Mexico. Hands-on owner Herschel Teper is an added bonus, providing enthusiastic and highly personalized service to the mostly young Inner Loop shoppers.

The Goods
Despite the name, Silverlust sells as much gold jewelry as silver and offers pieces in both traditional and modern designs. Customers are encouraged to create their own "life story" rings and bracelets by selecting unique combinations of icons, symbols and zodiac signs. Silverlust also offers antique white gold bridal settings from the 1920s and '30s and will custom-order diamonds of any size.
