About Arnoldi Jewelers
Arnoldi Jewelers is a family jewelry store on the 200 block of University Avenue, near Ramona Street. Its story starts in 1978, when Antonio Luigi Arnoldi left Italy to start a new life with his family in the Bay Area. According to the store, he trained under goldsmiths in Rome.
The family still runs the business. The store names Luigi along with his wife Catia, son Michael and sister Rita. It calls itself an old-fashioned family jeweler. It describes itself as the largest fine jewelry showroom in downtown Palo Alto, with designs from Luigi's friends in Italy. The website's title calls the business a maker of custom Italian jewelry. There is no online catalog, so the selection is best seen in person. Call ahead if you want something specific, such as a ring in a particular metal or a matching set.
