Village Silversmith

Great shop! Could be a museum… it’s that interesting. I spent more than an hour browsing the fossils and minerals, and was impressed not only with the selection but with the helpfulness of the staff.

These stores sell the highest quality stones. The craftsmanship is superb. I live on Cape Ann and am lucky enough to frequent the stores here. I have only been to Peabody once and was blown away!
To the person who gave a one; There are not many male clerks. The one that
I know, I believe is an owner. He has always treated me and my wife with respect. If he tailed you, then he must have had a reason…
In closing, the fossils are incredible as well.

I purchased a piece of kyanite for my GF. There were 3 young ladies at work in the shop and they were helpful, knowledgable, and all in all very nice. I would totally shop here again. I tried to check in but already at Sake having sushi

Make sure you stop in. Excellent and unusual silver pieces. All more than reasonably priced. Stopped by twice and bought pieces each time.

I have very few vices.
One of them is semi precious stones set in sterling silver.
I love Village Silversmith. I have been going there since my first trip to Rockport and now they have a store much closer to me at the North Shore Mall I make a purchase every Mothers Day and birthday (I get what I want then. LOL).
For years George catered to my tastes and with his kind prodding he gave me the confidence to buy larger pieces. Neither George nor John spend time at the Danvers shop but the staff there are great too.
My problem is once I have made my selection I have to keep my eyes down and head straight for the till before I see anything else I fancy or else I am dragged back into dreamily perusing the huge selection.
When I win the lottery I am going to go and buy a lot of fossils from that shop.
GREAT!

Wonderful shop with super nice staff. Something for every price range. My son loves looking at the fossils and the great guy who works there took some of the more interesting (and expensive) ones out of the case to show him. They have lovely things for every price range.

I absolutely LOVE the Village Silversmith. We discovered this shop several years ago, while wandering around Rockport. It quickly became my birthday destination. Each year, I pick out a special piece of jewelry for myself and then we go out for a delicious seafood dinner nearby and enjoy the beauty of Cape Ann.
George, the founder, along with his son, John, are amazingly knowledgeable and so creative. I’ve told dozens of people about Village Silversmith.
Last summer, I was at one of the Rockport stores. I was admiring a necklace, and George suggested that I take the necklace outside to see how the stone looks in a different light. How many store owners would be that trusting?
On another trip, John noticed I was wearing one of their pieces. He removed it and cleaned it for me while I was shopping.
At a recent doctor’s visit, I noticed the gorgeous pendant that my doctor was wearing. I told her that she’d love Village Silversmith, and she said that’s where she bought the pendant! She’s a huge fan of Village Silversmith, too.
I think I’ll be visiting one of their shops very soon … probably the North Shore Mall location.

I went back to the Silversmith and I realized that their jewelery isn’t really my cup of tea. It’s pretty run of the mill. They have some nice rings and things. I guess it’s alright if you want pretty generic jewelery. Their stones are lovely. What really makes the Silversmith special is its enormous collection of fossils, crystals, and precious stones. The owner is a collector of these things and many of the larger pieces are not for sale. This is ok because when I say larger pieces, I mean enormous. In the window are huge slabs of crystal that are as big as a toddler. There are also large stones with fossils in them. In the store at the North Shore Mall, there’s even an entire skeleton of a bear in the shop window. The smaller pieces they do sell are fantastic and well priced. I got a gorgeous ammonite fossil that they had split in half for ten dollars. The owner does trade with people all over the world to get these items and the best days to visit the stores are days that he’s there because you can ask him about the fossils.

i could spend an hour in this place just looking at everything, mainly because i’m simple and all i need is a room full of sparkly things to be entertained. there is some truly gorgeous, exquisite jewelry at the village silversmith.
you can definitely come here and get a simple, basic new silver ring or toe ring or pair of earrings or charm or chain or whatever, but there are also ten tons of items with rocks and gems and all that pretty stuff. what’s awesome is that it’s all either really cheap or really reasonable.
my boyfriend bought me a necklace with a star made of diamonds (you know what i’m talking about, they unfortunately showed up everywhere) at an expensive jewelry store. the necklace chain that came with it broke because they are jerks. i went into the village silversmith and they were SO HELPFUL in choosing a new chain. the original chain was very delicate and thin and sparkly and i wanted something as similar as possible. they helped me find something beautiful but more sturdy and suggested several lengths. they wanted me to get a chain in a different size, thinking it would look better, but weren’t pushy when i said i wanted the slightly longer length. i appreciated that cause i know what i like, dammit, i just need help getting there.
i super love places where the employees are so helpful but not at all pushy. it helps in a place like this, where you want 7 things (at the very least) and you’re trying to narrow it down to 2 or 3. i have so many things from here that have stayed beautiful for as long as i’ve had them. i’m able to have so many pieces because they’re so affordable.
there are also locations in rockport which are equally helpful and beautiful and well-​stocked. this is ABSOLUTELY worth a trip/​visit.

beautiful jewelry including the «one of a kind» necklaces that my wife loves… this is her favorite store

I love the Village Silversmith! The owners, Brian and Nayla are SO nice and helpful and all of their employees are great! I love going in their and just browsing around. Everyone is so helpful and knowledgeable about what they sell.

This place is feckin’ great!
I have a opal necklace from here (which I talked my mom into buying for me sinc eyou aren’t supposed to buy your own opals) and it’s lovely. And it was cheap.
I prefer silver. I guess that makes me a cheap date. But I like the way silver looks against my skin.
That said, some places that just sell silver are too pricey, especially when it’s in a tourist destination. but not this place.
This place is a find, indeed!

If you like silver, this is your shop! With three locations in downtown Rockport alone (could there be another hiding somewhere?), it’s hard to miss this store regardless of where you’re walking. See a ring you like but it’s not in your size? Hop up the street to the other store and see if they have it in there.
There are seemingly endless ropes of necklaces, cases of rings with precious stones, amber and amethyst pieces, even fossils and taxidermed exotic insects (it sounds creepy but it’s really awesome, trust me.)
Staff members are very friendly and know their stuff. Prices aren’t crazy either, so if you’re looking for an inexpensive but nice gift, you’re likely to be able to find one.
