Custom Jewelry Inspired by You, Designed to Tell Your Story

In a world of fast fashion and fleeting trends, custom jewelry offers something far more lasting. These are pieces that carry meaning, mark milestones, and are designed to be cherished for generations. Nikolas Alan Jewelers in Lakeway turns this belief into a practice rooted in precision, personal connection, and years of hands-on expertise.

Founder Nick Alan begins every custom project by listening. He works closely with each client to understand their vision, preferences, and goals. Inspired designs often stem from a client’s sketch, an heirloom piece, or a significant stone. The process is highly personal from start to finish. Each piece begins with a concept, is rendered in CAD by Nick himself, and brought to life through a 3D printed model. Once approved, the piece is cast, set, and finished entirely in-house. “We strive to be the best at our craft and are self-critical of every piece we create,” says Nick.

Every detail is thoughtfully considered. Stones never leave the premises and each step is handled by formally trained jewelers with years of experience. Clients have the assurance that their most meaningful pieces are treated with care, intention, and integrity.

By incorporating CAD design more than 20 years ago, the studio elevated its ability to bring complex visions to life without compromising craftsmanship. Each piece reflects a strong foundation in design engineering, resulting in jewelry that’s not only visually striking but also made to be worn and treasured for years.

From engagement rings to reimagined heirlooms, every design celebrates a personal story. Stop by Nikolas Alan Jewelers in Lakeway Plaza at 2127 Lohmans Crossing Rd, #300, Lakeway, TX 78734.
