Nestled In The Heart of The Breathtaking Texas Hill Country, You’ll Find Two Exquisite Gems
By Lisa Dante
The creative artistry and vision of native Texans, Robert and Amanda Borrego has turned into modern, contemporary fine jewelry salons with a flair for what makes the Hill Country so special.
Borrego Fine Jewelry has two locations that serve the storybook, picturesque towns of Boerne and New Braunfels.
Born and raised in San Antonio, Robert Borrego was destined to be in the jewelry business.
Upon meeting him, the first thing you notice is his polished yet very approachable and inviting demeanor and his warm, charming and genuine smile. The moment you walk in the door to either of his two well appointed, elegant, yet comfortable and super friendly, Hill Country fine jewelry salons you are treated like family.
“Bob,” as he is known to his friends and customers became a Certified Jeweler and Gemologist in 1985.
————It’s very rare to find a true craftsman like Borrego. He is able to focus on the utmost attention to detail, but also possesses the rare artistic talent to create one of a kind, stunning works of art, custom created for each individual client, and in a timely fashion.———-
Borrego also carries many top designer lines recognized around the world. You will find, the Doves Collection from New York, Venetti out of Los Angeles, a wide selection of impeccable, pre-owned Rolex watches, America’s finest cultured pearl jewelry, Mastoloni, the exquisite Konstantino line which is handcrafted in Greece, Sylvie Bridal Collection, FANA, Piero Milano, handcrafted in Italy, Michael M, and the stunning William Henry collection of custom collectible knives, bracelets, writing instruments and cuff links.
Borrego has been in the business of fine jewelry for over 37 years.
What inspired him to open his own salons and create the ultimate shopping experience?
Although he thoroughly enjoyed the journey that got him to where he is today, he became tired of being on the road after years of producing million dollar events for a large jewelry corporation out of Los Angeles.
In 2018 the time was right for Bob and his beautiful wife, Amanda, to open Borrego Fine Jewelry.
They knew they wanted to cater to people in the Texas Hill Country. Borrego’s reputation grew, and clients have been known to come from major cities all around Texas to visit the Borrego salons. They know they will experience the highest level of service, value, craftsmanship and selection, while feeling at home in comfortable, picturesque surroundings.
His associates are highly trained in not only customer service, but also in building genuine, lasting relationships. It’s a “come as you are” invitation to explore the world of Borrego. The salons are very well appointed.
Hill Country sunlight peers through the impressive floor to ceiling glass windows and dances off the many facets of the sparkling gems in the cases.
Service also includes, general repairs, sizing, soldering and fabrication.
A true family affair, the Borrego’s sons, Louis and Brandon, and daughter, Mindi, are also involved in marketing. All of them are integral to the success of the business.
Borrego firmly believes that all of his hard work, talent, and the family support of his wife, sons, daughter and loyal customers has led to his success. And with that success comes a great sense of responsibility to the people of the Texas Hill Country.
For the past 20 years, Borrego has focused on giving back generously to the community along the Highway 46 corridor. There is a deep sense of pride and commitment towards his beloved Hill Country friends and customers that makes Borrego Fine Jewelry shine just as bright as the most flawless gem.
This holiday season, I hope you stop by either of the Borrego locations, even if you are only browsing.
I guarantee you’ll be greeted with a warm and friendly smile. I think you’ll be surprised at the value and level of craftsmanship you’re going to find at your neighborhood jeweler.
