About Us

Welcome to G2 Silver, a name synonymous with quality and tradition in handcrafted sterling silver jewelry. Founded in 2003 as a joint venture between Alexander & Babio Co. and B. Gould Co., our heritage spans five generations of silversmiths dating back to the late 1800s. We take immense pride in creating original pieces that are not only beautiful but also steeped in the rich history and culture of Charleston, South Carolina.

Our Mission Statement

In a world of fast, cheap, and replaceable products, we stand out as an American-made brand that crafts each piece by hand using traditional silversmithing tools and methods. Our jewelry embodies high-end quality, grounded in the history, culture, and beauty of our home here in the low country. We bring the stories and histories of the Southeast to life through modern, heirloom-worthy pieces, each designed to be cherished and passed down through generations. When these pieces are passed down, the stories they tell are passed down too. Committed to delivering exceptional quality and great customer service, our mission is to create beautiful jewelry that tells a story and becomes a treasured part of your legacy. 

 

Our Legacy

Charleston Gate Jewelry:

In 2003, working with the Historic Charleston Foundation, we created the iconic Charleston Gate Jewelry, capturing the intricate beauty of the historic wrought iron gates that adorn our city. Part of the proceeds from this line goes to The Historic Charleston Foundation, supporting their efforts in preserving our city’s architectural heritage.

Charleston Rice Beads:

Our journey began with the creation of Charleston Rice Beads in the 1970s, celebrating the region’s agricultural heritage and adding a unique, elegant touch to our collection.

Philip Simmons Collection:

We are proud to present the Philip Simmons Collection, inspired by the legendary Charleston blacksmith. Part of the proceeds from this line supports the Philip Simmons Foundation, aiding in the preservation and celebration of his work.

 

We are honored to be licensed with prestigious organizations such as The Daughters of the American Revolution, The Historic Charleston Foundation, and The Philip Simmons Foundation. We have also collaborated on special projects with The Smithsonian Museum, National Geographic, and numerous fine jewelry stores across the country.
