Silicon Valley's Premier Jeweler Embraces Bitcoin
Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry, Silicon Valley's premier jewelry house, has partnered with GoCoin to accept Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoin payments at its new retail store in the luxurious Rosewood Sand Hill hotel. GoCoin is the first e-commerce payment solution designed to handle both bitcoin and emerging alt-coins at checkout.
Located along Sand Hill Road, home to notable venture capital firms like Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Khosla Ventures, Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz, the new 950 square-foot boutique will reflect the tech savvy of its clientele, featuring some of the finest timepieces of haute horology from Richard Mille, Audemars Piguet, HYT, Ulysse Nardin, Arnold & Son, Ressence, Laurent Ferrier, and Devon. The space will welcome guests with video walls, a state-of-the-art sound system, and innovative payment alternatives.
Stephen Silver, chairman and CEO of S.H. Silver Company shared,
"We've operated in the Bay Area for more than three decades and most of our clients are VCs and in the technology industry, so we've naturally become early adopters." He continued, "GoCoin really appealed to us because they had the foresight to process multiple cryptocurrencies from the outset, which allows us to capture a much broader customer base."
"It's exciting to see Silicon Valley's de facto jewelry house so openly embrace innovation," said Steve Beauregard, co-founder and CEO of GoCoin. "Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry already deals with portable wealth in the form of precious gems, so allowing high net-worth customers to pay with the most portable form of money was a natural extension."
Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry has been a trusted source in the Bay Area for nearly 35 years. Since the beginning, the company has married Old World attention to detail with a cosmopolitan eye on design and fashion, producing some of the world's finest custom-made jewelry.
The new Rosewood Sand Hill hotel location will open its doors this fall.
