Helping Stephenville sparkle and shine for more than 80 years; Swindle’s Jewelry recognized as ‘Texas Treasure.’

 Special to Beneath the Surface News

Swindle’s Jewelry has been designated as a Texas Treasure Business by the Texas Historical Commission.

Founded in 1942 by Grady and Gracie Swindle in Dublin, Swindle’s Jewelry continues to be a family-owned and operated business.

During WWII, Grady and Gracie founded a watchmaking school in the back of their store in Dublin to provide disabled veterans returning home from war an opportunity to learn the trade.

In the early 1980s Swindle’s Jewelry became famous for originating the coin class rings designed by Pinkie Swindle for Tarleton State University.

Three generations of this family have been entrusted to help their customers with the most important days of their lives.

The Texas Treasure Business Award program is an initiative of the Community Heritage Division of the Texas Historical Commission.

 Since 2005, over 500 Texas businesses have been honored for their historic significance. These heritage businesses raise the profile of their communities as a historic destination for travelers.
