Norway's oldest gold and silver producer
The legacy of 1868
Arven has a long history in the production of gold and silver, stretching back to 1868. Today, Arven is Norway's oldest gold and silver manufacturer with production, workshop and base in Bergen. Arven is a manufacturer, supplier and retailer of beautiful gold and silver jewelry, silver cutlery and silver interior.
In heritage, it is the people who carry the knowledge, not the tools.
Our production
At Arven we have a wide range of products, from beautiful silver cutlery and silver interior to beautiful silver and gold jewellery. At Arven we have everything required for production under one roof. This means that the entire process of creating beautiful jewellery, silver cutlery and silver interior takes place in our production in Bergen. While we are committed to preserving Norwegian craftsmanship, we are also committed to being innovative and forward-thinking in our profession. With us, it is the people who carry the knowledge, not the tools. Our production is therefore transparent, and everyone who visits our store will be able to see all the work that is done through a 40-meter-long glass wall that separates the store and production.
We change with the times
The legacy takes new paths
Historically, Arven has been a silver cutlery and silver interior manufacturer, supplier and store. This is still a very important part of our identity and history, and something we will continue to do in the future. At the same time, we are committed to developing and changing with the times.
We have therefore in recent years made a commitment to jewelry and special design. Our focus is to produce beautiful jewelry and create unique jewelry for our customers, where we have received good response from both our Norwegian and international customers.

We have started our green journey

Our goal at Arven is to create products of the highest quality with the lowest possible impact on the environment. We have started our green journey, where large parts of our range are made from 100% recycled gold and silver.
Design collaboration
Our design collaborations
We at Arven are committed to seeing, hearing and promoting great talents in design. Over the past decade, we have worked with great talents in design. The jewelry and objects that have been created have received great national and international recognition through mentions in books, exhibitions at the well-known design fair in New York and awards such as the label for good design.
Our latest collaboration is with influencer Jenny Hagen. Together with Jenny Hagen, we have created and developed a beautiful silver jewelry collection, where the common thread is that all the jewelry can be combined and stacked. The response to Jenny Hagen By Arven has been enormous, and we are so proud of the collaboration. You can see the entire collection here.
Recycling as a pleasure
Heritage Vintage
In line with our journey towards greener production, we at Arven have opened up to purchase gold and silver jewelry and objects from our customers. You can read more about the service here. Large parts of the gold and silver we buy are sent for melting and refining at our supplier in Norway, which in turn allows us to use the gold and silver in our production. Sometimes we come across beautiful jewelry, silver cutlery and silver interior in good condition, which we don't have the heart to let go for melting and refining.
These treasures became the path to the concept of Arven Vintage.
Arven Vintage is gently used gold and silver jewelry, silver cutlery and silver interior that we quality check, make minor repairs on, clean and polish for resale in our store and online store. The idea behind Arven Vintage is to make it possible for everyone to buy gold and silver at a more affordable price. The goods in Arven Vintage are completely unique and up to 70% cheaper than similar current goods in stores. The concept has gained momentum and is very popular among our customers. Take a look at our treasures here.
