The historic jeweler is closing its stores in Sundance Square, Fort Worth’s Ridglea neighborhood and Grapevine.
FORT WORTH, Texas — Haltom’s Jewelers is closing after more than 130 years in business and they recently announced their final day.
The jewelry retailer, which has stores in Sundance Square, Fort Worth’s Ridglea neighborhood and Grapevine, will close Jan. 11. The stores are owned by Jack and Ladye Miller, whose family has owned the luxury jewelry retailer since 1983.
Aside from the jewelry, the stores are known for their iconic freestanding clock outside.
“Between us, Jack and I have 108 years of retail experience and we have loved every minute,” Ladye Ann Miller previously said. “We have always worked hard for our family, our employees and their families and our customers. While we are closing the stores and ending this chapter, we will remain a part of this community that is so important to us.”
Haltom’s Jewelers was founded in 1893 by G.W. Haltom, who began his career in jewelry as a railroad-regulating watchmaker, according to the store’s website.
“It has been a pleasure for Haltom’s Jewelers to be included in their customers’ special moments, commemorating engagements, anniversaries and special occasions with fine jewelry across generations,” a letter posted on the website read.
While Haltom’s Jeweler’s is closing, Jack and Ladye say they plan to continue their work with Miller Investments.
Sundance Square has seen other major closures recently, including the move of Reata Restaurant and the closure of a Melt Ice Cream location nearby.
