Silversmith

However, silversmiths have their finger on the pulse of the times and make use of the achievements made in precious metal technology.

Traditional costume and filigree jewellery is made by hand in the traditional manner. The focus is on the magnificent traditional costumes of eastern Switzerland. An example of this is the Sennenuhr chain for the Appenzeller or also for the Toggenburg men's costume.
