Since 1868
Our history
At Arven, it is the people who carry the knowledge, not the tools. Arven has a long history in the production of gold and silver, dating all the way back to 1868. Today, Arven is Norway’s oldest manufacturer of gold and silver goods, with production, workshop, and headquarters in Bergen.
Arven produces, supplies, and retails beautiful jewelry in gold and silver, silver cutlery, and silver interior pieces.
Our production
At Arven, we produce a wide range of high-quality products – from beautiful silver cutlery and silver interior pieces to timeless jewelry in silver and gold. All production takes place in our workshop in Bergen, where traditional Norwegian craftsmanship meets modern design.
One of our greatest strengths is that the entire production process happens under one roof. From idea and design to finished product, our skilled artisans work to create jewelry, silver cutlery, and interior objects of the highest quality. This gives us full control over quality and allows us to preserve proud traditions in Norwegian goldsmithing and silversmithing.
At Arven, we are committed to carrying craftsmanship forward while continuing to develop and innovate. The knowledge lies with the people – not the machines. Our experienced goldsmiths and silversmiths combine traditional techniques with modern methods to create products made to last for generations.
Arven is forging new paths
Historically, Arven has been a manufacturer, supplier, and retailer of silver cutlery and silver interior pieces. This remains a vital part of our identity and heritage, and something we will continue to carry forward in the future.
At the same time, we are committed to evolving with the times. In recent years, we have therefore expanded our focus to include jewelry and bespoke design. Our aim is to present beautiful pieces and create unique, custom-made jewelry for our customers — an initiative that has been very well received by both our Norwegian and international clients.
We evolve with the times
