2009
In 2009, we took our first steps, convinced of the potential that the internet could bring us in a sector still dominated by traditional dynamics. So, we focused on an e-commerce project that did not exist at the time.
We focused on an e-commerce project that did not exist at the time.
Our previous experiences have given us an in-depth knowledge of the jewellery sector and we have learned to be determined, to have the strength to make changes and to pursue our goals with tenacity: in 2009 our company was born and with it our e- trade website for the sale of sterling silver findings and jewellery.
At this time the products were few, the emphasis based on quality. Matteo, the Italian entrepreneur who started this adventure, handles all the orders alone. G-Silver is starting to grow thanks to direct contact with potential customers as well as the first participation in the Italian products sector of Cassis market and the Salon de Provence Christmas market organised by the Italian Chamber of Commerce of Marseille.
2010
Our journey continues in 2010 thanks to a new participation in the Cassis market with the French craftsman Antoine Puygrenier, the first Google campaign and the first discount operation for website orders.
The project is still small and yet it’s already feeding big dreams, "a wooden box" full of hope and the desire to create.
2011
In 2011, we moved into new headquarters in the heart of the city of Marseille, the Longchamp district: a physical place for our digital world.
We have created a physical place for our digital world.
The orders via our e-commerce are now daily and requests arrive for custom made projects from customers in Marseille and the region who come to visit us. The products are increasing and our team hires the first employee: Audrey.
2012
In 2012 we renew the website with the collaboration of the web agency Kangourouge and we publish the first advertisements in specialised magazines distributed during the Paris trade shows.
2013
The following year comes the time to get equipped with the tools needed by a growing company: commercial management software, the warehouse becomes more and more consistent and we have over three thousand customers registered on our site.

2014
2014 is the year of the new “Beauty in precious details” campaign created by Consonant Studio. It is available on-line and in C + Accessoires and the Bijou Fantaisie Guide magazines.
2015
In 2015, we move into the new offices of Chartreux in Marseille. An open space tailored to our business, larger and better suited to accommodate a growing warehouse and welcome two new recruits Nelly and Marie, to the team.
2016
A new year, a new step towards an ever more extensive and international service: the new website published in 2016 is translated into four languages, our service opens up to the German market and we visit the trade exhibitions in Munich and Hamburg.

2017
From visitors to exhibitors, in 2017 we are present at the Hamburg fair to bring our own vision and make ourselves known. A great adventure that shows us that the internet is at the heart of everything and we give it our best.

Our team is also more and more international and thanks to the presence of French, German, English and Italian employees, we can offer a dedicated and personalised customer service.
2018
In 2018, we open our work shop in Lyon and G-Silver also becomes a manufacturer of Made in France jewellery thanks to BAYOGEM created by Matteo and Antoine. This new service allows us to offer tailor-made high-quality products that, over the years, has always distinguished us in the market.
The year 2018 is also the year of our new advertising campaign “Shaping inspiration” born again with the collaboration with consonant Studio, that we present in magazines and on-line.
We want to welcome the advice and the impressions of those who trust us for their company, so during the year we send our customers a survey about our services: thanks to the information collected, we improve our website with new ergonomics and a new search menu to make it even more convenient and easy when browsing. In addition, we create a more mobile-friendly platform with a responsive, more dynamic and modern design.
2019
In 2019 we are celebrating our tenth birthday we consider the journey so far, the challenges, successes and opportunities have taught us how to do better. We have established the bonds of trust.
We celebrate this mile-stone with the desire to continue to evolve and pursue new goals.
We celebrate this mile-stone with the desire to continue to evolve and pursue new goals in as much as that this year we are opening up to social networks, starting a collaboration with the Afedap Jewellery school through a competition for young designers, working on new services that involve customers and collaborators.
These ten years together now inspire our future.
