Padis Jewelry
Our showrooms display an incredible array of certified loose diamonds as well as jewelry from the world’s most desirable designers and watchmakers.
Along with owning the largest collection of certified loose diamonds in California (over 10,000 stones in our inventory), we also offer an exquisite selection of high-quality sapphires as part of our exclusive Padis Signature Collection. Although sapphires are found across the globe, our sapphires are mainly from Sri Lanka, which produces some of the precious gem’s most sought-after hues.
The island of Sri Lanka has a centuries-old reputation for producing some of the world’s finest sapphires and other gemstones as confirmed by its Sanskrit name of Ratna-Dweepa, which means “Island of Jewel.” Even Marco Polo wrote of his visit to the island in 1292 and shared that Sri Lanka had the highest quality of sapphires and other gemstones. Also as far back as the 4th and 5th centuries, sailors wrote of visits to the island to buy gemstones to trade throughout the East. Geologists know that Sri Lanka is extremely old as ninety percent of the rock on the island is from the Precambrian age and estimated to be 560 million to 2,400 million years old. The unique island also has the highest density of gems compared to its landmass. We invite you to browse our website or schedule a visit to our showrooms to experience one of the finest collections of sapphires. Each stone has been careful selected by our staff gemologists to ensure we provide our customers with high-quality natural sapphires. In addition we guarantee the ethical origin of our stones and only work with miners who adhere to traditional, low-impact methods of extraction in accordance with strict government regulations. A stone from our incredible selection of multi-hued sapphires makes an excellent choice for your engagement ring or right-hand ring. 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.

As part of our promise to provide the highest quality of service to our customers, Padis Jewelry has two GIA Graduate Gemologists on staff at all times. So that being said, how will a GIA Graduate Gemologist improve your shopping experience?
To answer that question, we will start with a little background on the GIA. According to the GIA’s (Gemological Institute of America Inc.) website, the institute was established in 1931 and is the “world’s foremost authority on diamonds, colored stones, and pearls.” It operates as a nonprofit institute and is recognized as a leading source of knowledge, standards, and education in gems and jewelry. In the 1940’s, the GIA established the “4Cs” (color, clarity, cut, and carat weight) as well as the International Diamond Grading System™, both of which are still the standards used today. The GIA Graduate Gemologist program represents the most prestigious credential in the industry, and all participants receive comprehensive information regarding diamonds and colored stones. During the course, individuals are introduced to both technical and practical skills including the 4Cs, the International Diamond Grading System, and the Colored Stone Grading System. As GIA Graduate Gemologists, our jewelers had the opportunity to experience first-hand how the GIA grading system and the 4Cs are used to accurately rate the value of diamonds. In addition they were taught how to use up-to-the-date gemological equipment and procedures in order to identify and grade different types of gemstones. By having such knowledgeable consultants as a part of our non-commissioned sales staff, you will receive reliable, educated information about the stones you are buying. Furthermore, all of our certified loose diamonds over 0.40 carats come with an independent grading report that assesses the stone’s overall quality and authenticity.

Just like you have documentation for your car, home or your other valuables, it is important to buy a diamond that has been independently graded by one of the industry’s trusted and reliable diamond grading laboratories. At Padis Jewelry, we are proud of the fact that each diamond we sell over 0.40 carats comes with a report from an accredited, independent laboratory such as the United States divisions of AGS, Forevermark, GIA and EGL USA.
So what type of information will you learn from the report? To start with your diamond’s grading report, such as the one provided by Padis Jewelry, should be from an independent lab and not just a report put together by the seller of the stone. Keep in mind that the report is not an appraisal but rather a detailed blueprint of your diamond’s quality characteristics that will help you feel more confident about your purchase. Part of the report’s assertions include specifics such the fact that the stone is an authentic natural diamond and will disclose if the stone is treated or enhanced to improve color or clarity. The diamond’s grading lab report gives extensive technical details about the 4Cs of the diamond that includes carat weight, color, cut and clarity as well as includes a diagram of the stone’s inclusions. Additionally the diamonds are rigorously examined by diamond experts for any flaws or imperfections. By purchasing a certified diamond, you know just what you are buying. Conversely when you purchase an uncertified diamond, you are relying just on the opinion of the jeweler regarding the true value of the stone. Please see the Padis Jewelry website for more information on buying diamonds as well as our extensive collection of outstanding certified loose diamonds and gemstones. Since 1974, Padis Jewelry has been a trusted source for buying exquisite certified loose diamonds, engagement rings and fine jewelry.
