Silberschmuck is a German word meaning "silver jewellery". The "S" is pronounced as a "Z" sound so we spelled it that way for our English speaking customers.

All the work is made by Canadian jewellers in their own studios. We represent an eclectic variety of work from coast to coast. Zilberschmuck has purposely selected artists creating unique fabricated jewellery and display some of Canada's finest craftsmanship and design.

The vast majority of our collection is 925 sterling silver, however we also have jewellery in white and yellow gold, titanium and stainless steel. Many of the jewellers are goldsmiths and can create their jewellery in gold and platinum by special order.

Fine silver is pure silver; and it is too soft for jewellery. 925 silver is an alloy comprising 92.5% fine silver and 7.5% copper to give it strength. In the past, nickel was mixed with the silver because of its white colour and hardness. Many people were found to have a nickel allergy so it has been replaced with copper.

Much our work is "one of a kind" pieces and, consequently, the stock is always changing. For this reason, it is not practical or feasible to create an online catalogue of the work. Therefore, we invite you to visit the store to view the full range of work available. However, if you are unable to visit us in person, we will make every effort to assist you by telephone or online at zilberschmuck@rogers.com.

Many of our artists can help you create a contemporary piece of jewellery by adapting their existing designs or by working with you to produce a unique piece.
