The Society of American Silversmiths is the world's #1 resource for anything related to the silversmiths' art and craft, and it's based right here in Rhode Island!

SAS was founded in April 1989 as the nation's only professional organization solely devoted to the preservation and promotion of contemporary silversmithing, specifically in the areas of holloware, flatware, and sculpture. Its Artisan members, those silversmiths both practicing and retired, who now or used to smith as a livelihood, are provided with support, networking, and greater access to the market. SAS Artisans are silversmiths who have been juried into the Society based on their outstanding technical skill. SAS also educates the public in demystifying silversmithing techniques, silver care, restoration & conservation, and the aesthetic value of this art form through its free consulting service.

On their website, you can play a silver jigsaw puzzle, find out about fine silversmiths, discover new ways to care for your silver, and track the spot prices of silver and gold.

If you are a silversmith and want to join, or are interested in silver and want more information about silversmithing, please Visit Their Website or give them a call at 401-461-6840.
