About Us
The History of Pace Jewelers in Greenville, SC
Edgar W. Pace opened Pace Jewelers in 1948 at 1265 Pendleton Street in West Greenville, SC. The shop started as a place where the local residents could go to have their watches and timepieces fixed. Mr. Pace had graduated from the Bulova School of Watchmaking which had a branch in Greenville for the GIs returning home from World War II. Mr. Pace began to add an inventory of popularly priced watches like Bulova, Hamilton, and Elgin once the shop began to grow in popularity. The company was very successful, and Mr. Pace started adding diamond engagement rings and other diamond and colored stone jewelry to his growing business. Mr. Pace’s wife, Polly, began working at the store in the mid 1950s. It was her idea to expand the inventory to include china, crystal, silverware, and much more. They also began to accept bridal registry for wedding gifts within the store.
Mr. and Mrs. Pace’s son, Steve, entered the family business in 1972 and learned jewelry and watch repair under the tutelage of his father and other watchmakers and jewelers employed at the store. Steve’s wife, Teresa, began working at the store in 1976 as a bookkeeper, store decorator, and sales associate until retiring in 2018. At that time their daughter, Rita Scott took over her duties. Rita’s son, Joshua Scott, and Mr. Pace’s grandson is now working with watches learning from his grandfather.
