Story

Drive down the tree lined streets of Houston's Village area and pull up to a charming brick house at 2511 Sunset Blvd. Step inside and you soon realize this is no ordinary home; it is the showcase for beautiful, custom-crafted designs from a family of experienced, caring jewelers.

Since 1972, Dee Stodghill and his son Kip, have built their business based on the foundation of personal service. Each of them have a specialty and is professionally trained to give expert gemology and design advice. Their jewelry designs are imaginative and diverse, ranging from bold and modern to antique reproductions.

The Galaxie Jewelers is known for innovative, creative designs and carefully chosen, quality loose diamonds, pearls and colored gemstones from around the world. However, this family is equally well known for jewelry and watch repair, restoration, appraisals and turning "never-worn-anymore jewelry" into newly cherished pieces.

Kip and Tina, along with their production staff, whom have extensive training in gemology and jewelry making, use the CADCAM & "lost wax" process of casting for their jewelry designs. The fabrication technique is used when called for. Platinum, 18 karat, 14 karat gold, and sterling silver are the primary metals used in their design work. While the majority of the production is completed on the premises, specialized craftsmen in Houston are called on when necessary.

"Our customers’ satisfaction is our number one goal," says Kip. This philosophy has earned the company a loyal following who visit The Galaxie Jewelers for everything from having their rings cleaned and checked, to selecting a one-of-a-kind piece to mark a momentous occasion. The company is now working with second and third generations of their original customers.
