Leading jewelry retailer James Avery announces that with one in every ten holiday shoppers buying jewelry as gifts this holiday season(1), many Texans will head to James Avery Craftsman, a family-owned jeweler based in the Texas Hill Country, to purchase the perfect gift according to three Texas-based newspapers.

Readers of The Daily Texan, Houston Chronicle and the San Antonio Express-News recently named James Avery the top jeweler of 2005 in Austin, Houston and San Antonio.

James Avery differs from many other fine jewelers in that the company designs, creates, markets and sells its own jewelry line from its headquarters in Kerrville and five jewelry workshops located throughout Texas.

With annual sales at approximately $85 million, the company employs more than 1,300 people nationally, 1,179 people in the state of Texas and these numbers increase significantly during the busy holiday season. National Jeweler Magazine also ranked the company as one of the nation's top 50 jewelers in 2004.

"They'd like to thank every one of Texas customers for their wonderful support and patronage," said Chris Avery, President and Chief Operating Officer. "Since company first opened doors in the Texas hill country more than half a century ago, company philosophy has always been to help each customer feel at home with warm hospitality and attentive personal service."

Anita Meeks, a Houston voter said: "My family has been buying from (James Avery) since I was a little girl. I can look at my jewelry or charms and remember when, who and what it was for. It is a great way to preserve memories."
