Eco Estate Jewelry: Antique and Estate Pieces With a Story

Written by KT Tubb | June 22, 2016

Eco Estate Jewelry display

If you’ve ever found yourself wandering the shops of Lakeway Commons, chances are the entrancing finds at Eco Estate Jewelry have caught your eye. Their jewelry collections make it impossible to not step into the store.

The shop — which they are quickly outgrowing — opened in June 2015. They recently celebrated their first anniversary with a sensational bang!

Trays of white wine and champagne sparkled like diamonds as lucky Lakeway residents nibbled on hors d’oeuvres and cake pops. Out front a banner from the Lake Travis Chamber of Commerce adorned the drive and a ribbon cutting added to the festivities.

Eco Estate Jewelry is jam packed with a plethora of earth-friendly antique and estate jewelry. Earrings, bracelets, and necklaces are just the beginning of the timeless pieces you’ll find beneath the glass counters.

Lake Travis Community Library

A little before noon — before lunches, tears, and naps — it’s all smiles for the lucky tots around the lake who listen to Ms. Morgan read her library books.

Ms. Morgan is UT alumni Morgan McMillian, the seven-year director for the Lake Travis Community Library. And the books she’s reading belong there.

With a stone archway as a backdrop overlooking a serene pond, it’s an ideal way to spend a Tuesday morning.
