Don’t let the two-story marble building fool you. Inside the doors await friendly people ready to show clients an extensive range of jewelry and prices. “We only look expensive,” said Jan Loggins, the J in J Loggins Jewelers. “As the years have gone by, we have made an effort to stay in touch with not only what is going on in the world of jewelry, but what is going on in our clients’ worlds. Our clients appreciate that, and they show their appreciation by continuing to help us grow.”
Fashion Forward
For thirty years, J Loggins Jewelers has been an icon in the Fort Bend community. Known for their custom designs, superior quality and excellent customer service, the original Fort Bend jeweler is now expanding its focus to include high quality fashion jewelry to insure that they continue to meet all of their customers’ needs, both now and in the future.
J Loggins’ new line of fashion pieces are in direct response to both clients’ desires and industry trends. Eighty percent of people agree that mixing fashion pieces with fine jewelry is fun and acceptable. “Customer service is our number one priority at J Loggins,” said Jan. “That is why it is so important for us to be able to provide our clients with a wide selection of options.”
This expansion in focus for this independent jeweler, which is rare in an industry filled with chain jewelry stores, is helping J Loggins continue to evolve and expand both their services and jewelry lines. “Being an independent jeweler is extremely important to us,” said Jan, whose new fashion line features prices beginning at $25, allowing clients to purchase J Loggins at virtually any price point. “We want to be the place to shop for all of your jewelry from reasonable birthday bling for a friend to fine jewelry you’ll treasure forever.”
Custom Creations
Jan describes J Loggins as a “full service jewelry store,” and much of her success is in custom design. Well-known for their custom work, the store’s master jeweler, Omar Quinonez, has been with Jan for over twenty years, and he is a master craftsman able to sketch and create a jewelry masterpiece specifically designed to the client’s specifications. Jan’s famous quote, “If we can’t do it, it can’t be done!” can easily be attributed to the talents of Omar and her entire team. “Having experienced professionals like Omar whose only priority is providing clients with the best service is what makes our business such a success,” shared Jan.
J Loggins’ new fashion line features a wide variety of pieces for less than $100.
Consignment Services
Yet another aspect of the “full service jewelry store” concept that has made J Loggins successful is their consignment services. “Diversifying the services that we provide by adding consignment services for clients who have something they no longer wear has been very popular,” said Jan. For clients, the consignment services are a win-win. They can easily take unwanted valuables and turn them into cash.

Personalized Customer Service
Whether clients are purchasing from the consignment pieces, the new fashion line or having custom jewelry designed, the rapport with her customers is always the priority for Jan. “At J Loggins, we feel a connection to the people we work with and to the people we serve. We have served as some of our clients’ jewelers for multiple generations.”
The rapport that Jan and her team build with clients not only keeps them coming back; it keeps J Loggins top of mind with their friends and family and with other area jewelers. Many Fort Bend area jewelers refer clients to J Loggins due to their expertise, professionalism and stellar reputation. “To me, it’s such a compliment when quality jewelry stores tell their clients that we are the only ones who can tackle certain repairs or designs. We acquire new clients on a weekly basis based on the referrals of our competitors and clients. That is a true testament to our reputation,” said Jan.

Whether you purchase a $50 bracelet or a $50,000 diamond ring, a beautiful gift presentation is a tradition at J Loggins, part of the exemplary customer service that Jan and her team take great pride in providing to their clients. From the moment a client steps into their beautiful two-story building, the ladies of J Loggins are there to help. “At J Loggins, it’s about having fun in what we do and making the shopping experience as pleasurable as possible,” shared Jan. “We treat everyone equally as valued customers and will always give the best service we can in whatever we do from creating a memorable keepsake to wrapping it up beautifully.”
Ready, Set, Glow for the Holidays
This holiday season, J Loggins’ mantra is: “Ready, set, glow for the holidays!” With an ongoing mission to be the independent jeweler in Fort Bend for everyone, J Loggins continues to evolve and expand their services and jewelry lines, and their success is best summed up in what Jan calls her golden rule: “We are in business because clients continue to need us and believe in us.” And with such a range of services and prices, the store that “only looks expensive” will continue to do what they do best: provide exemplary service and products to their clients at all price points – just in time for the holidays!
