There’s something magical about fall in College Station, TX. The air is (a bit) cooler, Saturdays are livelier, and traditions run deeper than ever. From Ring Day to game days and everything in between, your autumn calendar is already packed.
But don’t forget to add a little sparkle to your season! Here are our favorite ways to celebrate autumn the Aggie way — with a touch of maroon, a nod to tradition, and of course, a trip (or two) to David Gardner’s.
1. Stack on the Maroon (and the Sparkle)
It’s not Aggie football season without maroon, and this year’s stacks are leveling up. Whether you’re heading to Kyle Field or catching the game from your favorite tailgate spot, like Aggie Park, adding ruby and garnet tones to your jewelry lineup is an effortless way to show your spirit.
Build a stack that’s unmistakably Aggie with a Garnet Tennis Bracelet or go bold with a DG Designed Swirl Rubellite Ring. You can even take it one step further and design something completely custom — like this custom DG bracelet with garnet.
And don’t forget — if your game day jewelry needs a quick clean or check, stop by David Gardner’s. We’ll get your sparkle back in time for kickoff.
2. Celebrate Ring Day with RingWraps (and More)
Aggie Ring Day is a milestone that deserves to be honored and celebrated in your own unique way. Whether you’re gifting yourself or surprising a loved one, RingWraps are the perfect way to enhance this iconic symbol of accomplishment.
Start with the Diamond and Garnet RingWraps to infuse your maroon pride. Or visit us in-store to explore custom colors, styles, and customizations. It’s never too early to build your wishlist.

3. Show Your Aggie Spirit—Every Day
Aggie traditions aren’t just for Saturdays. Carry your pride with you daily with timeless pieces like:
The Aggie Girl Pendant – a DG original, made to celebrate the strength and pride of Aggie women.
The Classic Texas A&M Charm Necklace – perfect for layering or gifting.
The TAMU Diamond Dog Tag – rugged, refined, and designed for every fan.
Looking for something bolder? The Diamond Dog Tag with Ruby blends spirit and sparkle, and we haven’t even mentioned the Texas A&M cufflinks—a must-have for any Aggie gentleman.
4. Soak Up the Traditions (and Snap a Few Photos)
No Aggie autumn is complete without a visit to the Dixie Chicken, a stroll through campus, or tailgating at Aggie Park. Whether you’re clinking glasses at Primrose Path or taking a study break under the oaks, don’t forget to wear your everyday sparkle. Capture the moment — and let your fine jewelry tell the story.
Some of our favorites for your fall photo ops:
- The Gem Drop Pendant – effortless and elegant.
- The Pavé Rubellite Heart – bold, romantic, and Aggie-approved.
