In 1986, Jerry Brandt started J. Brandt Co., Inc. and turned his garage into a manufacturing plant with approximately 15 accounts and one employee. Located in the heart of Fort Worth, Texas, the company has come a long way since its early beginnings but Jerry still holds true to the ideals he instilled in himself and the organization. Our recognition jewelry has been an industry leader ever since, with meticulous attention to craftsmanship and superb customer service. Prior to starting J. Brandt, Jerry worked in the jewelry industry several years until his expertise naturally led him to start his own company – a company he could run in a manner that was different from any other recognition jewelry manufacturer.
