Kaufmann de Suisse is known for creating exceptional, handmade jewels using the finest gems, and have been coveted and sought after for 60 years by connoisseurs of exquisite jewellery. Jewellers to royalty and discriminating connoisseurs since 1954, its designs are inspired by the singular beauty and grace of the art nouveau tradition. Many designs harken back to a time when great value was placed on the beauty of nature, intricately woven and interpreted in precious stones and metals. The work, while not always purely Art Nouveau, is very much jewellery for today, remaining intriguingly timeless, assertive in its design yet distinctly feminine. The Kaufmann tradition began in 1954 by Emil Pius Kaufmann, a master jeweller and goldsmith of Swiss origin, who has earned five Diamonds International Awards for excellence in craftsmanship and artistry, the highest honour bestowed on a jeweller. Today the company continues the founder's traditions through the second generation, with refreshing new designs that continually evolve to reflect the times.
