The Silver Society was founded in 1958 to advance the study of silver of all periods, places and forms. A UK based international organisation, our object is also to widen the appreciation and knowledge of work in silver, including plated wares, as well as in other precious metals such as gold and platinum.
Members of The Silver Society are collectors, authors, museum staff, researchers, dealers, auctioneers, working silversmiths and other interested individuals who share a common interest in silver. Membership is international with more than a third living outside the United Kingdom.
We publish an annual journal ‘The Silver Society Journal’ (formerly called ‘Silver Studies’), to which it is possible to subscribe without being a full member of the Society.
The Silver Society provides regular updates on interesting talks, art fairs, exhibitions and events in the UK and further afield. For information regarding members only events, please login to the Members’ Areahere
The Society also provides support through grants and prize giving, to further contemporary silversmithing and advance research into silver.
