Since our founding in 1980, Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry has built our company around a single maxim —if we are going to create something, then we create it at the highest level.
A deeper level of quality and concept informs each piece we create or curate – whether fine jewelry, gemstones, estate jewelry, or luxury timepieces. What began as an estate jewelry firm has expanded over decades to become a vertically integrated wholesale and retail operation of international reach. Over the years, our firm has acquired – and improved – some of history’s greatest gems and jewelry treasures.
Today, Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry is widely regarded as one of North America’s great jewelry houses and ranks among the world’s foremost experts in rare auction-grade natural colored diamonds and gemstones. Our company has become one of the preeminent retailers specializing in independent timepieces.

Rare Swiss Timepieces and Heritage Watchmakers
For our Silicon Valley timepiece salon, we curate only the most impressive collectible timepieces from Switzerland’s small independent watchmakers like MB&F, Greubel Forsey, Urwerk,
H. Moser & Cie, Bovet, Ressence, Roger Dubuis, and Laurent Ferrier.
These maverick watchmakers’ compelling creations and unique creative visions offer collectors a much wider selection of technical innovation and aesthetics. Produced in low quantities, these limited-edition watches typically remain desirable and collectible into the future.
Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry also presents a selection of timepieces from the most esteemed watch brands, including Bulgari, MB&F, Urwerk, Greubel Forsey, and Bell & Ross.
Coveted Pre-Owned Watches
Our extensive global network also enables us to source hard-to-find, in-demand pre-owned timepieces from the likes of Rolex, Cartier, Richard Mille, Audemars Piguet, MB&F, Urwerk, Panerai, and more. Each pre-owned timepiece has been authenticated and carefully refurbished by our experts.
