Our Team
Dwaine Ferguson
Dwaine has owned the store since he opened in 1974. Dwaine takes a lot of time with each customer to insure that he is able to provide them with pieces of jewelry which truly “Dare to be Different”. Dwaine’s style can most be described as geometrically sleek and sophisticated. He especially loves collecting unique pearls and working them into his designs.
Danielle has worked at Goldsmith Silversmith since 2007. She started walking to the store after school as a kid to visit her dad (Dwaine), and started helping out at the store. Today she handles many of our operations, repairs, and design work. When she's not working, she's most likely at her pottery wheel or camping.
Jim is our bench jeweler and has worked with Dwaine for over 30 years. He studied at Northwest Missouri State with an emphasis in fine arts and has two sons. When he's not at the bench, Jim loves bicycle touring with his wife, Elizabeth.
Finnigan "Finn"
On January 20th, 2021 Goldsmith Silversmith welcomed a new employee to our team. He quickly became the employee of that, and every month there after. Finnigan is a Mainecoon-Norwegian Forest Cat mix. He is our greeter, and often enjoys dabbling in interior design by jumping in the cases and resting amongst the jewelry. Finnigan's favorite things are ribbon adorned gifts, treats, head massages, and did I mention treats? He is eager to assist tou in all of your design endeavors, and looks forward t greeting you at thge door!
COPPER
Copper was likely our most well-known employee. He passed in October of his 22nd year with us, Copper spent his days greeting customers, napping, and getting lots of ear scratches and belly rubs. Copper's favorite things included yoghurt, flowers, snickerdoodle cookies, and whipped cream. He was the best companion anyone could ask for, and will be missed by all. RIP
