New Orleans Silversmiths

New Orleans Silversmiths is a jewelry and silverware retailer that specializes in both contemporary and antique gold jewelry, as well as antique holloware.

The Dingeldein family's long tradition of metal work and silver manufacture, both in Germany and the U.S., is well documented. The present owners acquired the business in 1966 and for many years it has been located near the center of the French Quarter, the oldest part of the city. The shop handles new and estate silverware and jewelry.
