What: Ben Bridge Jeweler is one of the largest family-run jewelry chains in the state of Washington. The quintessential family business with a remarkable lineage. Over a century ago, Samuel Silverman, fine guild watchmaker, opened a store in downtown Seattle. After marriage to Silverman’s daughter Sally in 1922, Ben Bridge joined the firm as a partner. When his father-in-law moved to California in 1927, Ben purchased Sam’s interest and renamed the store Ben Bridge Jeweler. The company has continued to grow and expand, making strategic moves across the map and becoming the personal jeweler we have loved for over a 100 years.
