HISTORY

Samuel Jewels, Inc. represents four generations of expert hand-crafted artisanship. The tradition began with Samo Samuel in the ancient Byzantine region, recognized for many centuries as an area that cultivates exceptional hand-crafted metal work. Samo was a silversmith who used his steady hand and keen eye to give his customers flawless art work in areas ranging from tea sets to serving platters made from gold and silver.

The next generation who learned the trade from their father Samo and expanded and improved upon it branched out into the field of jewelry. The sons, some of who are still working in jewelry until today are involved in every arm of jewelry from manufacturing high fashion couture pieces, filigree, rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets to wholesale and retail. The third generation carries to the grandchildren of Samo. Once again, the new generation learned their trade from their fathers, but developed their skills to find their own niches in the jewelry business. The involvement of the Samuel family is as expansive today as it has been at any other time in history, with thirteen descendents of Samo still carrying on the family craft.
