2007 marked the inception of Leicester Silver, a premier news platform dedicated to chronicling the rich history, craftsmanship, and cultural significance of Leicester silver. Born from a recognition of the niche yet vibrant community of silversmiths and collectors, our website has evolved into a trusted source for all things related to this exquisite form of artistry.
Our journey began in a small office above a Leicester jeweler’s shop, where a handful of passionate enthusiasts saw the potential for a comprehensive online repository of information about Leicester silver. Over the years, we have celebrated several milestones, including our expansion to a team of dedicated professionals, the launch of our interactive forum, and the establishment of our annual Leicester Silver Symposium, which brings together experts and enthusiasts from around the globe.
