Who we are

A MULTIGENERATIONAL FAMILY BUSINESS

With 52 years of experience, you can feel confident in us whether you are purchasing a new piece of jewelry or dropping off an heirloom for repair. All repairs will be stored securely in our safe when not being worked on by our jeweler.

Our team takes pride in their drive to create high quality and elegant pieces of jewelry. We want to create something for you that can't be had anywhere else.

JEWELRY MEANT TO LAST GENERATIONS

Located in the heart of the Denton Square, First People’s Jewelers has been a trusted part of the community since 1974. A dedication to fine craftsmanship has guided owner Frank Zangerl from the very beginning, and his passion can be seen in the countless custom pieces, wedding rings, and family heirlooms worn throughout Denton today.

Following in her father’s footsteps, Brooke Zangerl brings extensive knowledge of diamonds, gemstones, and custom jewelry design. After earning her GIA Graduate Gemologist degree in New York, Brooke returned home to Denton, helping usher in a new generation of jewelers. Together, Frank and Brooke remain committed to delivering the same exceptional service and quality customers have trusted for over 52 + years.
