Our Story

Serpentina Silver is a collaboration of found artistry, exquisite craftsmanship, local design & local business. Our shop is located in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada -within Hudson’s Bay, Canada’s oldest and most iconic department store.

The company was founded 20 years ago when the owner, while on the last leg of an education exchange program, stumbled upon some of the best quality and uniquely designed jewelry she had ever seen; all crafted by hand. With the last of her money in her pocket, she decided to “invest”. By bringing it back home (to Halifax, Nova Scotia) she hoped to intrigue and peak the interest of her city with these newly found gems. Working this business over the years while collaborating with the artists to maintain the integrity of the art, Serpentina Silver has grown to be what it is today…a hands-on business dedicated to the value& integrity of Silver through the artistry of hand-crafted jewelry.

Truth be told, we’re a “small” operation.  Our shop-staff is composed of 5 women. Our crafters are located in different pockets throughout the world, and we have worked together since day one. These connections have become friendships and today we are like a family. This business is somewhat unique given the longstanding relationship between a nationwide department store & local enterprise. In creating this blog we hope to make some fun posts and show some of the inner or personal side of our business.

Thanks for taking the time to read this first post. Please check back with us and see what’s shakin’ this side of the world wide web.
