Woulf & Ury Jewelers

History

Founded seventy years ago in Richmond as a locally owned jewelry store by Max Woulf, the business grew into the partnership of Woulf & Ury Jewelers when Walter Ury joined in 1941. During Richmond's boom years of World War II, the partners opened a second store in Pittsburg, California and together served a discerning clientele fine quality diamond and gem set jewelry, fashion and costume jewelry, silver, watches, service and repairs. Eventually, the partnership was amicably dissolved, and in 1966 the Richmond store was moved to San Pablo, and then in 1978 to the El Cerrito location. In 2011, Maury closed the El Cerrito retail location, and opened an office in Walnut Creek.
