My Story

Paris in 1835. The City of love is whispering a name: the name of a young silversmith, who can forge the most exquisite, delicate blades, at the incredible pace of six per day.
My beloved grandmother Caroline always said that the legend was born then, with George Sillam. They named this artisan “Six Lames”, as in “six blades” in French, pronounced…
Sillam. 
As the family turns to fine jewelry in 1910, the great talent of Sillam is now MY fine heritage, working passionately in the field of haute joaillerie for 6 generations. My father Hubert-Claude, his brother Joseph and his younger brother Theodore learned their skills from their father Jacques. The three brothers specialized in complications as the versatility of their pieces was of utmost importance. The back of each piece was as important in manufacturing as the front. They followed the French tradition of ajoures, the honey comb back of each set stone.
When I took over my father’s business in 1997, I had just gotten my diplomas for my studies of psychotherapy, after medical school. Previously I had learned to be a goldsmith and gemologist, but constantly seeking to learn more about the client, their wishes and accompanying them through their mostly happy journeys such as engagements, marriage, birthdays, the birth of their children or the celebration of milestones.
I started creating pieces in the family tradition of high-end quality, versatility and finesse, but added what I considered the most important element: making my clients happy, which became my deep personal mission.
I am implementing jungian symbols and secretive messages to reinforce the values and the self esteem of my clients. I want to make them feel great whenever they look at Sillam pieces and feel the joy of life. Empowering confidence will make you walk differently, shine differently in a very snazzy way and will help you feel your very personal Je Ne Sais Quoi.
Life is colorful, meaningful and beautiful.
Let’s focus on appreciating happiness!
