About Us

“Our quality reflects our reputation of professionalism, integrity and honesty.”

Tom and Mary Manno have a strong commitment to provide customers with the highest quality fine jewelry for the best value.

Paolucci Jewelers has a history in the Joliet area since 1972, where Mary’s father Alfred Paolucci opened a family-owned jewelry business.  Mary had learned the gem and jewelry business from her father, and Tom studied bench work, custom wax carving and took diamond grading courses through the Gemological Institute of America (GIA.) Tom and Mary opened their own store in 1985 in Woodridge, and kept the Paolucci Jewelers name.

Why should you visit Paolucci Jewelers?

First, the diamonds at Paolucci are hand picked for quality, cut and value.  Tom and Mary are very knowledgeable about diamonds, gems and jewelry industry trends so that customers can also be knowledgeable about their purchase.

Another reason to select Paolucci Jewelers is the personal service.  Tom is the master jeweler, creating new designs, doing bench work, setting stones and educating customers about their purchases.

Mary does buying for the store, helps with jewelry design and is the “go-to” girl for customers seeking gifts.  “I remember what they bought last year, and know what they have and what they might like,” Mary says

Laura has been at Paolucci Jewelers for 13 years, and works in jewelry repair, watch battery replacement and keeping the store organized.  Laura is the store specialist in the giftware lines from Swarovski and Lladro.

Outside of the business, Tom enjoys membership in the Woodridge Rotary, and Mary teaches religious education at their local parish.  The couple have three children.
