His commitment to uncompromising quality and old world craftsmanship is evident in each and every work crafted by Gorham for more than 170 years. Many of these works are national treasures. Others command very high prices in today's collecting world. Fortunately, the artists and craftsmen of Gorham have passed their passion, skills and crafting techniques down through the generations. And today, Gorham maintains the same high standards followed by the founder and his masters of hand workmanship. ASK GORHAM: Q. What is the best way to take care of sterling silver pieces? A.

Gorham History Explore the History of a Great American Tradition HUMBLE BEGINNINGS One of eight children, Jabez Gorham was born on February 18, 1792. A few years after his father's death, Jabez was apprenticed at age 14 to Nehemiah Dodge, one of the founders of the silverware and jewelry industry in 18th-century New England. After learning his craft for seven years, Jabez formed a partnership that failed within five years. The determined young man then formed his own business as "Jabez Gorham, Jeweler." Achieving enough success to hire a small staff, Jabez was the first to make "French filigree" jewelry and a special kind of gold chain known as the Gorham chain.
