Alter's Gem Jewelry, Ltd. is a family-owned retail jeweler with a history dating to 1915, based in Beaumont, Texas. The business serves customers seeking fine jewelry and watches, drawing on a long tradition of growth and adaptability. Its origins trace back to Morris L. Jacobs, who rebuilt after a flood disrupted his dry goods operation, opening a fine jewelry store in Port Arthur and later expanding to Beaumont by 1929.

Nelson Alter led the company from 1950, expanding to multiple stores across two states and securing exclusive jewelry and watch franchises. Today, Brian Alter heads the third generation of leadership, and the company operates a corporate show division that conducts charitable fundraising events nationwide for hospitals and auxiliary organizations, including the Children's Miracle Network. The firm positions itself as a longstanding regional retailer serving southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana, with a tradition of passing on its storefront expertise to the next generation.
