Rudberg Jewelers
Rudberg Jewelers, the longest operating family-owned business in Dallas, is a retail and wholesale diamond import and jewelry business that Leon Rudberg opened in Downtown Dallas in 1919. We can verify the following:
- located at 2016 Elm from 1924-1927
- located at 1400 block of Commerce, suite 301 1928-1934
- located at 1700 Commerce in the former Allen Building 1936-1960
- located at 1528 Main in the former Simons Building, suite 1101 1961-1982
- moved out of Downtown to Stemmons & Inwood in 1982 and remained there until 2017 when the office relocated to 635 & Midway
The business is smaller now than it once was, but Cary Rudberg, great nephew of Leon, still designs and repairs jewelry for the Dallas area.
