For thousands of years, silversmithing has been revered as a virtuoso symphony of creativity and skill – a true art. In this great tradition, it is the union of brilliant design and the inimitable human touch that gives exceptional silver pieces their distinctive style and prized beauty. While many silver producers have switched over to the more economical machine production of silverware in the wake of the Industrial Revolution, there remain a few dedicated and talented silversmiths today who forge pieces in the old-world style. It is this elite cadre of artisans that Sandra Jordan has sought out for her smithy for the creation of the Collection’s silver pieces. Sandra and her team lavish considerable care, patience, effort, and skill on each piece from design to production, ensuring the incomparable quality. Inspired by European antiquities, each item is imbued with the very spirit of tradition and sense of purpose that suffused the original. From hand-hammered celebration cups to distinctive table service pieces, the Sandra Jordan silver collection brings a sense of occasion and import to life’s milestones and everyday rituals alike.
