Houston—Thomas Markle Jewelers in Houston is planning to relocate its flagship to a new location.

The store isn’t going far, moving just across the street from its current space in The Woodlands at Market Street.

“Since 1983, we have continually worked to enhance the guest experience in our luxury stores. We listen to the needs of our clients and respond with tailored services, a curated selection, and beautiful shopping spaces,” said owner Thomas Markle.

“We feel it’s time to offer a new luxury experience that reflects our refinement as a brand, so we are expanding into a fully renovated space that will better serve our discerning shoppers.”

The soon-to-open new and expanded space, located at suite 1160, features a bridal salon, a service lounge, and a bar with a new Thomas Markle Jewelers signature cocktail. 

The store will have shopping areas for Rolex, Tudor, Grand Seiko, Montblanc, and, for the first time, IWC Schaffhausen, as well as jewelry brands Roberto Coin, Marco Bicego, and Kwiat.

The family-owned and operated jeweler was first established in the Kingswood neighborhood, later opening its flagship store in the Woodlands and a second location near Memorial City Mall, which will remain at its current location.

In preparation for the move, the current location at the Woodlands is hosting a storewide liquidation event.

“This is a transformational moment for us,” said Markle. “Service is at the heart of everything we do, and this change will allow us to offer our most compelling jewelry experiences yet. We’re very excited for the future of Thomas Markle Jewelers.”
