About Us
Nestled in the heart of San Francisco's Pacific Heights, Mureta & Co. is a haven for antique, estate, and contemporary jewelry lovers. Located at 2418 Fillmore Street, our boutique offers a thoughtfully selected collection that beautifully connects the elegance of the past with innovative designs of the present.
Our Story
Founded in 1983 by Gary Mureta, our journey began as Mureta’s Antiques, quickly becoming a beloved San Francisco destination known for its exquisite vintage jewelry and fine antiques. In 2020, Gary entrusted this legacy to John Quillinan, a jewelry expert mentored by Gary since his youth.
John, whose early fascination with gemology began at Bay Area flea markets, pursued his passion at the prestigious Gemological Institute of America. His partnership with Caroline Nalle, a costume designer and historical fashion enthusiast, has deepened the store’s commitment to curating exceptional antique and vintage jewelry inspired by timeless designs, including their shared admiration for beautiful design and craftsmanship.
