About Us
Bert Levi Family Jewelers (also referred to simply as Levi Family Jewelers) is a third-generation jewelry business truly steeped in rich family history. Our roots run deep, and our ongoing story makes us the company we are today. So let’s take a little walk down memory lane, shall we?
- Our family business began with the first generation: Daniel Levi, Bert’s grandfather. Daniel set the foundation that our company runs on today—our philosophy that jewelry isn’t just precious metals and fine gems. Jewelry represents special, irreplaceable relationships between human beings.
- Next, Ed Levi, Bert’s father, took over the business and called it Levi and Sons Jewelers (also called Ed Levi and Sons Jewelers). Ed opened up another store called Versailles Jewelers. Both Ed Levi and Sons and Versailles were located in Horton Plaza. Ed Levi’s jewelry stores became fixtures in the Gaslamp Quarter for quality custom jewelry and wholesale diamonds, never losing the original philosophy that Daniel stood by.
- Next, Ed Levi Family Jewelers and Versailles Jewelers were combined to create one store, the store we are today: Bert Levi Family Jewelers. Husband and wife team Bert and Gloria Levi run the store with Bert’s parents, Ed and Rosa Levi. We work closely to ensure that Daniel’s philosophy stands strong.
There aren’t many establishments in any industry in San Diego that can claim three generations of history and decades of experience, and the results are clear to the customers. In fact, every decision is made with customers in mind.
What Else Makes Bert Levi Family Jewelers Different?
It’s not just our strong history and family values that make us different, although it’s because of these values that we have some other unique qualities. Let’s look at just a few of those:
- We have always put our customers ahead of profit. Sometimes, that might mean sending a customer to our competitor if we aren’t able to meet their needs completely. We think this is the right thing to do, and we are happy to do it.
- We are direct diamond importers. And because we pay cash, we get first pick. This brings two benefits to our customers: 1) lower prices, because we don’t have middleman costs, and 2) the finest quality diamonds—we know, because we hand-picked them.
- We make our own jewelry, too. Our jewelry is custom designed with a passion for the craft of jewelry making. Sure, we could sell mass-produced items with a famous name on the box, but that’s not what we’re about. We put our customers’ needs ahead of our own.
Over the years, we’ve changed our name, but not our business practices. Rest assured that you’ll find all the quality and service you’ve come to expect from Ed Levi and Sons in Horton Plaza.
You’ll find the same smiling welcome and attention to your needs. In fact, you’ll find Ed Levi, Rosa Levi, Bert Levi, and Gloria Levi as well! You’ll just find it in a store with a sign that reads Bert Levi Family Jewelers in fancy letters.
