Silver of the Stars
Silver of the Stars is a contemporary collection of silver created in 2007 by ten of Scotland’s finest silversmiths in partnership with ten Scottish celebrities. Each silversmith and celebrity pair designed and made a drinking vessel inspired by the universal theme: ‘a drink with a close friend’. Each celebrity then wrote a story of who they would have their drink with, where they would be and what they would talk about.
The resulting collection has been exhibited around the world since 2007 in a series of touring exhibitions at venues from The Hermitage State Museum in St Petersburg, Russia, to the Forbes Museum in New York City, USA, to the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.
Silver of the Stars is infused with creativity—from the artisan silversmiths to some of Scotland’s most celebrated and creative minds—Sir Billy Connolly, Ian Rankin and Ewan McGregor. The collection was made to inspire and provoke thought, creativity and talent of the sort demonstrated in various fields by the celebrities and the silversmiths.
Silver of the Stars is a registered Scottish charity established by The Incorporation of Goldsmiths of the City of Edinburgh.
