Historic Fort Worth jewelry store announces closure

After over 130 years in business, Haltom’s Jewelers announced that it will close all three of its locations.

Haltom’s Jewelers — founded here in Fort Worth in 1893 by G.W. Haltom — announced that the business is officially closing.

For over 130 years, the store has been a family-owned Cowtown institution (first by the Haltom family and by the Miller family since 1983), particularly at its Sundance Square location in the Knights of Pythias building.

The closure

All three of the jewelry store’s locations (Sundance Square, Ridglea, and Grapevine) will close, though Haltom’s has not yet released an official closing date.

When the FTWtoday called to confirm a closing date, we were met with a message saying that the business will be closed Friday, Nov. 8 through Monday, Nov. 11 to prepare for its going out of business sale — “the largest sale event in our history.”

The sale

All locations are set to host simultaneous grand closing sales of up to 70% off.

A customer preview sale will take place Tuesday, Nov. 12 through Thursday, Nov. 14 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Grapevine location will stay open through 5:30 p.m. each day.

“We’re opening the vaults and offering unique pieces that even our loyal customers have never seen. Everything must be sold quickly, so we are putting forth our best discounts,” owner Jack Miller said. “We are eager to celebrate Haltom’s legacy and blow people away with this final sale.”


Stay tuned for an official closing date and more information; we will continue to update this article.
