Buying jewellery & watches in Lubbock
Lubbock is the commercial centre of a vast cotton-growing region on the high plains, with a large state university and a music history that includes one of rock and roll’s founding figures. It is flat, dry and windy.
Ring sizes and chain lengths are simple to state and surprisingly easy to get wrong, and an alteration afterwards can cost a fair share of the purchase. Trying a piece on before money changes hands avoids that entirely.

The city is flat and on a grid, so addresses are easy and parking is straightforward. Dust storms occur and reduce visibility badly, so agree a fallback in the windy season.

Shoot it against a plain neutral cloth, because a patterned background makes small pieces impossible to judge. Lifts sharply before Christmas and again around Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day.
