About Silver Oak

Silver Oak was founded on a simple promise: to bring world-class artistry to Kenya.

Behind the brand sits five generations of silver craft, blending time-honoured techniques with modern design. Every piece is built on a foundation of integrity and an unwavering commitment to high-quality, hand-finished 925 sterling silver.

Jewellery is more than an accessory; it is a milestone. Whether it's a signature piece or a bespoke commission, we design with your story in mind. Every client should feel valued, understood, and confident in the authenticity of what they wear.

Crafted for you, inspired by tradition, and dedicated to lasting relationships.

Our Story

How we got here.

A brief look back, from a Mombasa to Nairobi today.

  1. 1920

    ____________

    A liniage of jewellers takes the long voyage to Mombasa, bringing the craft to East Africa.

    Expansion to Nairobi.

    The family expands into Kenya's capital, setting up a Nairobi-based manufacturing and wholesale operation. Through the 1990s, the workshop supplied silver bangles, rings and pendants to retailers across East Africa.

  5. 2003

    Silver Oak opens its doors.

    After more than a decade of wholesale and manufacturing, the family steps onto the high street with Silver Oak: a flagship design-led silver jewellery retail brand, made for a new generation of clients.

  6. 2026

    Silver Oak today.

    Four boutiques across Nairobi (Imaara, Capital Centre, Diamond Plaza and The Nord) and an online store. One of only a handful of silver brands in the city with a fully fledged in-house workshop, producing both signature collections and bespoke commissions.
