www.cityjewell.com - Come play!

If you haven't had a chance to peruse the new Jewell website, now is the time! This exciting adventure takes you through twists and turns as you are able to click on ads giving you direct links to boutiques, restaurants, salons, spas, local designers, massage therapists, personal trainers, acupuncturists and more. Supporting Austin businesses has never been easier with the new online functionality of Jewell!

You can also peruse the pages for great editorials on all the above. All the information you need to SHOP, BEAUTIFY & EAT LOCAL is at your fingertips including addresses, phone numbers, maps and insider perspectives.

Upon entering the home page you will find the most recent covers on the bottom left. One click takes you to an online 3-D PDF where you can flip through pages just like a printed magazine.
