History & Heritage

Our story began in distant places—where craftsmanship mattered, trust was earned, and stories were passed forward.

Hourglass Diamonds was born from a legacy of passion and adventure. Justin Smith grew up surrounded by stories of his grandfather’s daring pursuits in the diamond trade—tales that instilled both knowledge and wonder. What began as childhood curiosity evolved into a calling.

Yet beyond craftsmanship and expertise, Justin discovered what mattered most: people. After years of experience with local, national, and international jewelers, he realized that true fulfillment came from working one-on-one—understanding a client’s vision, honoring their milestones, and creating pieces that carry meaning across generations.

Rather than offering shelves of outdated inventory, Hourglass Diamonds begins with a conversation and a blank page. Every engagement ring, necklace, and bracelet is designed around the individual—crafted to reflect their story, their style, and their budget.
At Hourglass Diamonds, we are rooted in heritage, guided by integrity, and inspired by the belief that the most precious jewel is the connection we forge with each client.
