Meet the Padis Family

Since 1974, Padis Jewelry has been a family-owned business that got its start with the inception of the Steve Padis Jewelry brand.  Now more than 40 years later, we are still owned and operated by Steve along with his wife, Judy, and daughter, Alexis.

Steve Padis’ career as a jeweler started on the streets of Berkeley, CA where he sold beads he had strung. Steve then started creating sterling silver, turquoise and gold chain jewelry.  He met Judy soon after through contacts in the jewelry business. 

The Steve Padis Jewelry brand was the beginning of the family’s decades-long passion for precious metals and diamonds, and the start of establishing Padis Jewelry as one of the finest jewelers in San Francisco.  We now have three showrooms in the city - one at The Jewelry Center and one at The Gift Center as well as The Padis Designer Galleria at the Gift Center.  Our other store is in beautiful St. Helena in Napa Valley. 

Along with selling some of the area’s finest collection of jewelry, we also offer expert jewelry repair services by highly trained specialists who can restore and repair almost any piece of jewelry.  Our jewelers can rejuvenate a treasured family heirloom or adeptly handle more everyday needs such as cleaning and maintenance, mounting/remounting, prong tipping or replacement, ring sizing, and much more.  In addition we do watch repairs as well as routine battery and band replacements.  

Padis Jewelry also has an American Gem Society (AGS) certified gemologist appraiser (CGA) on staff to provide accurate and fair jewelry appraisals that you can reply on.  Please see our website to learn more about Padis Jewelry’s services and our extensive collection of exquisite engagement rings, certified loose diamonds and much more. 

Padis Jewelry, a family-owned business, has been a trusted source for buying exquisite certified loose diamonds, engagement rings and fine jewelry since 1974.  We are one of the only jewelers in the area that offers such an exclusive selection of top names in the industry as well as such a large inventory.  For the opportunity to view one of San Francisco and the Napa Valley’s most impressive collections, please contact us to schedule at visit.
