Handcrafted Jewelry from Around the World & Local Artists
Founded in 1999 by brothers John and Dan Goldman, Green River Silver has become Southern New England's premier destination for fine sterling silver jewelry. Our founders established relationships with artisans across Mexico, Indonesia, India, the American Southwest, Poland, and Thailand to curate unique handcrafted pieces. Over 25 years, we've expanded our collection to include both global artisan work and designs from local Rhode Island artists. We maintain direct partnerships with silversmiths in Taxco, Bali, Jaipur, and other cultural hubs to ensure authenticity and quality. Our Providence and Wickford locations showcase over 40 distinct jewelry collections, including exclusive Rhode Island-themed designs that support environmental causes.

We combine international craftsmanship with community-focused values, offering customers both timeless and contemporary pieces. Our expertise spans traditional Balinese silverwork, Native American jewelry, and modern sterling silver designs. We prioritize ethical sourcing practices while maintaining accessibility through competitive pricing. Our commitment to quality extends to customer service, with knowledgeable staff available for personalized assistance. We remain family-owned and dedicated to connecting customers with meaningful jewelry from around the world and around the corner.
