Just back from a fortnight in
Bangkok, nationally acclaimed and
aptly named jeweler Mark Silver has
secured all the precious stones and
gems he will require to produce dazzling pieces for the upcoming year.
“I go to Thailand to buy all the
stones and raw material I need to create my designs. I have associates there
who ensure I get the highest quality
gems at the lowest prices. These are
savings I then gladly pass on to my
customers” says the affable and gregarious lapidarist.
Indeed, the price range at Argenti’s is quite remarkable. “From $19
Sterling silver bracelets to $10,000
necklaces, we have something for
everyone’s taste as well as budget”
says Silver.
The newly opened store on
Commercial Boulevard is overflowing with beautiful custom designed
items for both men and women. Gold,
silver, platinum, diamonds, opals,
rubies, sapphires, emeralds and a host
of other precious and semi-precious
gemstones are artfully manipulated to
produce awe-inspiring results.
Silver is clearly passionate about
his trade, “I started my own business
23 years ago after working for Chanel
and Barneys in New York. Shortly
after that, I moved to Florida where I
have been designing and fabricating
my own jewelry ever since.”
Be it for a wedding ring, a Christmas gift, an anniversary surprise, a
graduation present, a birthday bijou or
any of life’s occasions requiring tasteful jewelry, Argenti’s has exactly the
right piece at the right price. “I create
affordable designer jewelry” says Silver as he points to display case after
display case of resplendent designs.
Although proud of his unique
creations, Silver is also quite happy to
produce custom made articles based
on clients own designs. “Give me your
old gold, and I can make a new piece
for you. Bring me your idea or design
on a piece of paper, and I will gladly
re-create it. Whatever the customer
wants, we will make it happen at an
affordable price!” says Silver.
Jeweler Mark Silver shows local restaurateur Nikki Marchelos some of his original creations. “I am looking for something nice for my
daughter’s sweet 16” says Marchelos. She selected several pieces that should make her offspring’s birthday a memorable one. [Staff

A few of the great deals at Argenti’s: sterling earrings for $39,
champagne pearl necklaces for $129, Dolphin pendants for $45 and
designer bracelets for $69.
Inaugurating the new store in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, Argenti Designer
Jewelers is offering a cornucopia of
discounted jewelry for the Grand
Opening period which lasts through
December 1st. In addition, every dollar spent will result in a 10 percent
credit on future purchases.
Every display case is a mini collection. Here, Argenti offers up an amethyst
necklace, gemstone earrings, sterling link bracelets and opal necklaces.
The highlight of this introduction period will be the Grand Opening Party to be held at the store on
Thursday Nov. 19 from 6 to 10 p.m.
Food, drinks and music will welcome
all to investigate the many treasures
ensconced within.
One lucky attendee will win a 92”
strand of fresh water pearls valued at
approximately $550.
In a time of economic uncertainty,
it is nice to know that one can find the
precious adornments that make life
special while still keeping financial
realities in perspective.
