Saddleback Jewelry & Coin opened in Magnolia on March 1, according to business owner Monica Ward. Located off of FM 1488 in Magnolia, the business specializes in buying and selling precious metals including gold, silver and platinum.

Ward said the business also offers repair services, ring sizing and appraisals for items ranging from watches to rare coins.

"Sometimes folks get a box of coins from grandpa, and they just want to know what it is," she said.

Family owned and operated with her husband, Zachary, Ward said they operate another store location out of Colorado. Ward said she most looks forward to getting to know the Magnolia community.

"Each community brings in different things," Ward said. "This community tends to like Rolexes, watches and silver [items]. ... It's really neat to see folks' collections here."
