San Francisco’s Historic GiftCenter & Jewelry Mart

Bay Area Jewelers

Padis Jewelry has three showrooms in San Francisco as well as one in Napa Valley, Padis Romance in St. Helena. Our Designer Galleria and one of our showrooms are located at the GiftCenter & JewelryMart in San Francisco’s renowned jewelry district, which is a hub for the biggest names in jewelry and fashion accessories – all offered at the best prices.

Conveniently located to serve the Bay Area, the five-story GiftCenter is on the National Register of Historical Places and the California Register of Historic Places. The building was constructed in 1912 by the National Carbon Company, and later became a paper warehouse for Blake, Moffitt, and Towner. It went through a major exterior and interior renovation when it was converted into the gift and jewelry showrooms in 1983. The renovation added more usable space and light with the addition of a glass atrium.

The GiftCenter is the leading wholesale jewelry emporium for Northern California and offers jewelry shoppers a truly unique experience. For convenience you will find that all of the jewelry-related businesses are consolidated in the lower and street levels of the building. Furthermore, customers can feel confident shopping at the friendly GiftCenter as most of the stores are locally-owned, family businesses.

So not only are prices typically better than at corporate-owned jewelry chain stores, but like Padis Jewelry, most offer a personal touch to make you feel welcome from the moment you walk through the door. At our Padis showrooms, you will find our entire inventory on display where we proudly offer pieces from the most sought-after jewelry designers and watchmakers with prices clearly marked. In addition you will find one of the largest collections of rings and certified loose diamonds in California. We encourage you to set up an appointment to experience firsthand our beautiful collection of jewelry.

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.
