Our Family Legacy

Three Generations of Trust & Craftsmanship

Edward's Jewelry & Imports is more than just a jewelry store – it's a continuation of a family legacy that spans three generations and two continents. Our story begins in 1917 with Edward's father, who ran a successful jewelry and antique business in Aleppo, Syria, establishing the foundation of expertise and values that guide us today.

The Beginning (1983)

In the summer of 1983, inspired by a family friend and driven by the desire to follow in his father's footsteps,  Edward and his wife Vergine took a leap of faith and opened our doors in San Francisco's Gift Center. Starting with just 550-600 square feet of showroom space, Edward brought with him the old-world craftsmanship and business ethics he learned from his father.

That period brought unique challenges. The neighborhood was up and coming, and the Gift Center operated exclusively as a wholesale marketplace. Yet Edward’s commitment to honesty, fair pricing, and manufacturing quality jewelry, coupled with his warm personality, quickly earned him a loyal following among clients throughout Northern California and the western United States. Many traveled from across America for conventions.

Growing Together

Over the last 42 years Edward’s Jewelry and Imports has grown into a true family enterprise. Jacklin joined the team in 1985 and still exemplifies our commitment to lasting relationships. From the mid-1990s to the early 2000s Edward and Vergine’s sons Mihran and Nareg became full-time members, and in 2002 Jean Paul, Mihran’s brother in law, rounded out the family roster. During these four decades we have expanded our footprint from the original storefront to more than 2 000 square feet of showroom and office space while staying at the same address. This growth reflects not only our success but also the deep roots we share with the community we serve.

What Sets Us Apart

Unlike most jewelers we own our entire inventory rather than consigning from manufacturers. Throughout more than 40+ years of careful reinvestment we have built an unrivaled collection of fine jewelry. Every piece in our showroom reflects our commitment to quality and value. Whether you seek a piece starting at a few thousand dollars or a masterpiece worth millions we have you covered.

Our Enduring Values

  • The core principles Edward inherited from his father remain unchanged:

    • Honesty & Trust: We believe in fair profits, not maximizing margins
    • Quality: Every piece should last a lifetime and be worthy of passing to future generations
    • Relationships: We're not just jewelers; we're your family's jeweler
    • Community: As a small family business, we support and serve our local community
  • Today we are honored to be trusted by multi-generational families who return to us for life’s most precious moments. This trust, earned through decades of honest service and fair dealings, is our greatest achievement. Seeing the children of long-time clients come in to choose engagement rings that Edward sold to their parents more than twenty years ago fills us with tremendous pride and reaffirms our commitment to integrity and genuine relationships.
