Our Story
Shop Silver Jewelry is of a love of beautiful things and desire to connect people who make them with those who will cherish each item. We're Terri & Peter, we started importing handcrafted items from SE Asia more than 35 years ago. At the time, it was a side hustle to finance our love of travel. The brand has evolved into a full-time business, in 2005 we made the leap to open a brick-and-mortar store. We also offer online shopping so you can enjoy browsing 24/7 and have beautiful jewelry delivered right to you.
Shop Silver Jewelry is a curated collection of quality sterling silver jewelry. We hand-pick each item, many of which are limited production and handmade. Our focus is on a wide selection of classic and timeless pieces you’ll find yourself returning to over and over. Think: polished earrings that look great with your jeans and t-shirt but also perfectly accent your favourite going out dress. We also splash in some truly unique and quirky jewelry to appeal to your individual style. Think: octopus earrings or a canoe paddle necklace.
When you purchase from Shop Silver Jewelry, know your order is received and packed by real people in Ontario, Canada who love what they do and truly care for both customers and makers.
Our brick-and-mortar store has been open in Lyndhurst, Ontario, Canada for 19 years.

-
Buying with ethics: people before profits
We have decades-long relationships with many of our suppliers; frequently traveling to their locations and fostering mutually beneficial partnerships. We’ve had the privilege of forming meaningful friendships along the way.
-
Choosing environmentally sound practices
When you receive a delivery from us, you might find that the outside box once held canned food or the inside packing material is an old catalogue. This is because, from re-using packing materials to offsetting our carbon footprint, we know that in the long run, even small choices make a difference in the future of our planet.
-
Positively contributing to our community
Our business is located in rural Ontario, Canada — the sort of place where you know your neighbours. Locally owned businesses have the unique opportunity to contribute to their community in a grass roots way. At SSJ, we do this by giving many volunteer hours to local business and community development initiatives. Each budget year includes financial donations to nearby groups and projects.
-
Providing artists, artisans and makers an outlet to share their creations
Our goal is to connect people who make beautiful things to the people who will cherish them. People who love to create don’t always enjoy selling and marketing. That’s where we come in — to help those makers realize an income from their creations.
-
Offering quality pieces at affordable prices
With over 35 years of experience buying and selling jewelry, we’ve developed a keen eye for quality craftmanship. We love including a few on-trend items each season, but always create a collection where you’ll discover pieces that will be among your favourites year after year.
