Some occasions in life are unique—so special that they deserve to be commemorated forever. Jewelry is one of the most enduring art forms that we have, with a well-crafted piece lasting generation after generation. For Lubbock residents seeking to commemorate the truly 

timeless moments in their lives, Robert Lance Jewelers has long been the place to go.

Conveniently located on the corner of 82nd and Slide, Robert Lance Jewelers offers a relaxed and personalized jewelry shopping experience. Longtime employee and current owner Becky Hardin welcomed us warmly and took the time to tell us a bit about the business and all the special, beautiful things it offers. “Robert Lance Jewelers sells beautiful jewelry for any occasion and just because. John Hardy, Konstantino, and Jude Frances are our main designers along with our new fun line from Frieda Rothman. We have a great selection of engagement and wedding rings—loads of diamond pieces and some colored stones.” She went on to explain that shopping for premier jewelry does not need to be a stressful or intimidating experience, and that the entire team at Robert Lance Jewelers strives to make the process both accessible and enjoyable: “We strive to create a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere so people want to come in again and again. We have fun here and I think it shows . . . We have very friendly and helpful staff that love to help customers find their new favorite pieces. We encourage people to come visit us and see for yourself how relaxing and fun shopping for jewelry can be. No pressure, just friendly people, and sparkly things!”

Jewelry is meant to last, and part of what Robert Lance Jewelers offers is the care that keeps both new pieces and heirlooms in their best and most beautiful condition: “We do custom work and repairs. A lot of people have jewelry they have inherited and aren't sure if it is real, may not like the style or need a different size. We can help with all of that!” As anyone who has dealt with inherited jewelry knows, honest estimates and quality repairs can be difficult to come by, but with a long history in the community, Robert Lance Jewelers offers reliability and honesty in every transaction.

Part of this amazing atmosphere stems from what goes on behind the scenes—we were immediately impressed by the environment the staff had created not just for their clients, but for themselves. Having devoted 22 years of her career to the business, Becky explained that this is intentional and at times a real blessing: “We feel like family here, and some of us are literal family! Our jeweler, Eddie and his son work side by side every day in our shop, and I talked my sister into retiring from teaching and she is now our bookkeeper. Robert and Lance still come by often to check in and it is always nice to see them.” In 2015 Becky and her husband John lost their 4 year old son in an accident, “I can't tell you how kind and uplifting our customers were to our family. I am grateful this little jewelry store has created such a beautiful and loving part of our life.”

Robert Lance Jewelers represents an increasingly rare presence in the jewelry business: a local jewelry store offering the latest styles and designs while also valuing heirlooms. Life is full of special occasions—some of which only occur once in a lifetime. These should be commemorated appropriately, and Robert Lance Jewelers helps make that possible. Come see what it means to be part of the Robert Lance Jewelers family.
