Samara was one of the first companies to sell sterling silver jewelry to specialty stores and boutiques in the United States. The founder and president of the company is Mark Wasserman. In the early '70s Mark traveled to Taxco, Mexico, worked with local artisans and developed a line of silver jewelry. In the early "80s, after recognizing a void for silver in major department stores throughout the United States, the company pioneered the effort to bring the metal to a totally new marketplace. Samara helped establish what is now known as the Bridge Jewelry Department in retailers nationwide. This department became the link or "bridge" between fine jewelry and fashion jewelry in the stores."
