Advertiser of the Month: deBoulle Diamonds and Jewelry
By Slipstream staff
Denis and Karen Boulle
established deBoulle
Diamond and Jewelry in
1983 with a vision of providing
their customers with a premier collection
of fine jewelry and luxury
timepieces, impeccable service, and
a beautiful, friendly environment.
Then and now, these elements
make up “The deBoulle Experience.”
deBoulle’s collection of
diamonds, fine jewelry, and timepieces
is unsurpassed for elegance,
quality, and long-term value. Denis
and Karen believe that purchasing
fine jewelry and luxury timepieces
should be informative, fun and
very rewarding, and they strive
every day to make that happen.
Denis Boulle was born on
the island of Mauritius in the
southwestern Indian Ocean and
spent his early years there and
in Cape Town, South Africa.
He was educated in England.
Denis and his wife Karen, a native
of England, launched their
first retail venture, a jewelry salon
in a small space in University
Park’s famous Snider Plaza, in
1983. Denis introduced Dallas to
several luxury watch brands along
with fine jewelry collections from
Italy. Since then, deBoulle has
served thousands of discriminating
customers worldwide and
built a reputation as one of the
pre-eminent independently-owned
jewelers in the United States.
Denis has assembled a team
of highly-trained professionals,
including GIA (Gemological
Institute of America) Graduate
Gemologists. Many on the staff
have been with the company for
15-plus years. Their experience in
jewelry, diamonds, and watches
provides customers with an uncommonly
high level of knowledge
and friendly, personal service.
In 2001, deBoulle moved to its
current location – a beautiful,
sophisticated 13,600-square foot
salon with a historical flair in the
style of a two-story French villa.
The deBoulle salon is located in
Dallas at 6821 Preston Road.
deBoulle Diamonds and Jewelry
is an authorized dealer for a vast
selection of the world’s premier
brands of luxury timepieces like
Patek Philippe, Rolex, Brequet and
F.P. Journe. deBoulle was handpicked
by each brand for its uncompromising
professionalism and for
having the necessary skills to maintain
all of the qualities of the brand.
deBoulle has also been appointed
as an authorized dealer for an extensive
collection of elegant luxury
jewelry brands. Over the years,
Denis and Karen Boulle, along with
the fine designers and craftsmen
at deBoulle, have also created the
exquisite deBoulle Collection.
