Kaplans is a family business with sixtyfive years experience in buying and selling gold, silver and platinum.

Kaplans started in 1946 as a goldsmith's workshop in Aspudden in southern Stockholm named Ge-Kå. The company soon employed a number of skilled gold and silversmiths and jewelers. They assisted clients in designing, manufacturing, reworking and repairing jewelry.

In the late 1960s Kaplans opened a number of goldsmith shops in Stockholm and a branch office in Finland. The brand Safir soon became known for beautiful jewelry and good service.
