Paul's Jewelry began with Paul Naomi, Sr., a skilled watchmaker who opened his first store on Jefferson Street in downtown Lafayette. Over time, as Lafayette expanded and transformed, so did Paul’s Jewelry. During the Oil Boom, the store relocated to the bustling Oil Center, and later, with the development of River Ranch, Paul's Jewelry found its current home on Camellia Boulevard. This location continues to welcome generations of Acadiana families seeking quality, craftsmanship, and a personal touch.

Paul’s is more than a jewelry store—it’s a family legacy. Paul and Theresa Naomi had three children: P.J., Nancy, and Patricia. All three grew up in Lafayette, attended school there, and eventually returned to work in the family business. With a shared vision and a strong family bond, they built a solid foundation to carry the business into future generations. Today, Patricia’s daughter, Jessie, serves as Office Manager, continuing the legacy into a third generation. Nancy is now enjoying a well-deserved retirement after years of dedication to the family business.

The team at Paul's Jewelry takes immense pride in being a family-owned business. “We’re not just selling jewelry; we’re helping people celebrate their lives,” Patricia explains. Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and engagements—these milestone moments are made even more special with the perfect piece of jewelry from Paul’s Jewelry.

Shopping at Paul's Jewlery isn’t just about finding something beautiful—it’s about the experience. The store exudes warmth, laughter, and a relaxed vibe.

Paul's also offers services that set them apart. From in-house jewelry and watch repairs to custom designs, they’ve built a reputation for excellence. "One of our favorite things is transforming older pieces of jewelry into modern, wearable works of art," Patricia shares. It’s a service that allows customers to honor cherished memories while creating something fresh and unique.

Another hallmark of Paul’s is its commitment to honesty and integrity. “The beauty of shopping with us is that you can always talk to an owner if there’s ever a problem,” Patricia notes. “We believe strongly in standing by our customers, solving their problems, and ensuring they leave happy. It’s during challenges that a business shows its true character.”

As a family-owned business, Paul’s Jewelry is deeply invested in giving back. Over the decades, they’ve donated countless pieces of fine jewelry to local non-profits and supported numerous organizations. Patricia herself volunteers at The Hub and serves on the board of directors for The Outreach Center, a testament to the family’s dedication to the Acadiana community.

Paul's Jewelry also takes pride in promoting the power of shopping locally. “When you spend money with us, it goes right back into the community,” Patricia explains.
