Rolex and Zadok Jewelers History

For nearly 50 years, Zadok Jewelers has been a trusted name in fine jewelry and timepieces.
Founded in 1976 by sixth-generation jewelers Dror and Helene Zadok, the business is now led by their sons—Jonathan, Segev, and Gilad Zadok—all GIA Graduate Gemologists. Expanding from Houston, we bring our expertise and Texas hospitality to Austin with our new showroom at The Domain. As an Official Rolex Jeweler, we are proud to offer the city of Austin the same world-class selection, service, and craftsmanship that have defined Zadok Jewelers for generations.

1976 – The Beginning: A Family Tradition on Post Oak Boulevard

Dror and Helene Zadok opened their first Houston jewelry store in 1976 with a simple yet enduring philosophy: “You’re only a stranger once.” Over the next four decades, their original 1,200-square-foot salon expanded tenfold, evolving into a landmark showroom. Through every phase of growth, the Zadoks remained dedicated to curating exceptional fine jewelry and timepieces while fostering lasting relationships with clients.

Early 2000’s – The Zadok Brothers Continue the Legacy

As seventh-generation jewelers, Jonathan, Segev, and Gilad Zadok officially became partners, continuing the legacy their parents built. Having grown up immersed in the business—starting with small tasks like filing and mailroom duties—they transitioned into leadership roles as GIA Graduate Gemologists. Their expertise, combined with a deep commitment to client relationships, has helped shape Zadok Jewelers into the renowned destination it is today.

2019 – Breaking Ground on Post Oak Place

Zadok Jewelers envisioned a landmark destination for luxury jewelry and timepieces and broke ground on Post Oak Place, a mixed-use development designed by acclaimed Austin-based Michael Hsu Architecture Firm. Dror Zadok shared his vision: “Just like the day we first opened in 1976, we want our new store to be an extension of our home—warm, welcoming, and dedicated to personalized service at a fair price.”
