The news of gold at Sutter’s Mill in 1848 brought 300,000
people to California from across the world for the gold rush. The rapid influx
of gold into the national money supply sparked a boom in the American economy
and jewelers George C. Shreve and his nephew Samuel S. Shreve joined the
thousands flocking to America’s new “Gold Coast” to seek their fortune in San
Francisco.

In 1852, the pair opened the doors to the new Shreve Jewelry
Company at 110 Montgomery Street on the corner of Clay Street. By the 1860s,
Shreve Co. had established its reputation as the finest silver and
goldsmith in America. Many of the company’s spectacular pieces were collected
by presidents, business tycoons, and prominent families.

The year 1906 ushered in the introduction of Shreve’s first
line of flatware and the publication of its first series of illustrated
catalogs which featured a variety of watches, jewelry, and exclusive Shreve
silver. The Arts Crafts fiddle handle Norman plain pattern was introduced by Shreve in the year 1915.
