Jenny Oaks and Lowell Daniels moved their highly successful fine jewelry business, Silvas Fine Jewelry, from Sutter Creek to Ferndale. the U.S. and Europe. Lowell's buying trips throughout the world have allowed him to collect a selection of rare gemstones, unique original designs and many, many friends and fans over the years. Because the couple rarely buys from factories or sales representatives, their costs are far below market average, hence their large client following. Jenny has also studied gemology and her style, insight and grace make selecting a special piece of jewelry a memorable experience. The store specializes in custom designs and repairs and features one of the few Computer-Aided Jewelry Design systems in Northern California. It takes only moments with Lowell to design, graphically visualize, then print a photograph of a specially created piece. Along with diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds and other precious gems, the large varied inventory includes cameos, jade, pearls, tourmaline, tanzanite and many other rare and lovely gemstones from around the world, along with many other works of art and treasures. The beautifully appointed, specially lit surroundings make selecting a special piece of fine jewelry an experience to remember at Silva's.
