How to Choose the Right Jewellers for a Lifetime Piece
Four generations of one family
Jacques Adler founded the house in 1886, opening a goldsmith's workshop in Istanbul. His pieces soon found favour with the city's most discerning clients, and the craft passed from father to son.
In the early 1970s, his grandson Franklin Adler moved the business to Geneva, placing the family among the city's leading jewellers. The move put the house at the centre of the world's fine jewellery trade, close to its gem dealers, stone setters and collectors.
Since 2015, the fourth generation, Allen, Karen and Daisy Adler, has led Adler Joailliers SA. The family name, the family workshop and the family's eye for stones remain at the heart of every piece.
From Rue du Rhône to the world
Geneva gave the house its stage. On the Rue du Rhône, the street most associated with Geneva jewelers, Adler opened its flagship salon. A second boutique followed in Gstaad, serving clients during the Alpine winter season.
Today, partner retailers carry Adler collections in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha, where the house has a long-standing following among private collectors.
Through every chapter, the family has kept the standard set by the first jewellers in the line: every piece is designed for the person who will wear it, and made to be passed on.
Adler Joailliers SA is a family-owned house of jewellers, founded in 1886 and based in Geneva since the early 1970s. The house creates high jewellery, fine jewellery and bespoke pieces, sold through its boutiques in Geneva and Gstaad and through selected partner retailers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha.
Four generations of the Adler family have shaped the house. It began as a goldsmith's workshop in Istanbul, moved to Switzerland, and took its place among the Geneva jewelers of the Rue du Rhône. Today it remains one of the few independent Swiss jewelry brands still led by its founding family.
Clients include collectors, families and first-time buyers across Europe, the Gulf and Asia. What sets these jewellers apart is not size but focus: rare coloured gemstones, in-house design, and a direct line from the family to every client.
- Who: Adler Joailliers SA, family jewellers
- Founded: 1886, Istanbul. Based in Geneva since the early 1970s
- Boutiques: 23 Rue du Rhône, Geneva; Promenade 74, Gstaad
- Known for: rare coloured gemstones and Switzerland jewelry designed in-house
- Member of the Responsible Jewellery Council
Designed in Geneva
Every Adler piece begins at a drawing table in Geneva. Designers and craftsmen work side by side, so a sketch can be tested in gold within days.
Unlike jewellers who buy in finished pieces, Adler controls design, stone selection, setting and finishing under one roof. The result is consistency: the same hands, the same standards, from first line to final polish.
Rare coloured gemstones
Adler is known for colour. The house works with sapphires in every shade, opals, rubies, and rare pink and yellow diamonds, often set in unexpected combinations.
Collections such as Classic Colours, Nebula and Les Singulières show how far coloured stones can go, from soft gradients to bold single statements. Few jewellers build a whole identity around colour; for Adler, it has been a signature for decades.
Responsible sourcing
Adler is a member of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), which sets standards for ethical, social and environmental practice across the jewellery supply chain. Diamonds are sourced conflict-free, in line with the Kimberley Process.
For jewellers today, provenance matters as much as beauty. Read more about how the house works on our commitments page.
Switzerland is known worldwide for precision, and its jewellery houses carry the same reputation. Among Swiss jewelry brands, Adler stands apart for one reason: it is still independent, and still owned by the family that founded it.
Many established names in fine jewellery now sit within large luxury groups, a model built for scale. A family house offers something different: decisions made by the people whose name is on the door, a long view on design, and client relationships that span generations.
Adler's pieces follow the Swiss standards of craft that clients expect. That means precise settings, carefully matched stones, hand finishing, and a quality check before any piece leaves the workshop.
For buyers comparing Swiss jewelry brands, three questions are worth asking. Who designs the piece? Who owns the house? And will the same family be there in twenty years to care for it? At Adler, the answer to all three is the Adler family.
Adler organises its creations into three families. Each is made in the same workshop, to the same standard, for a different moment in a client's life.
High Jewellery
Adler's High Jewellery pieces are one of a kind: necklaces, parures, rings and earrings built around exceptional stones. Many begin with a single gem chosen by the family, then take months of design and workshop time.
These are pieces made to mark a lifetime and to be handed down. Explore the High Jewellery collection.
Exclusive
The Exclusive line brings together rare stones and limited pieces. Nebula, Classic Colours and Les Singulières each explore colour in a different way, from soft gradients of sapphires to bold, singular statements.
Pieces are made in small numbers and are often never repeated, which makes each one a collector's piece from the day it leaves the workshop.
Essential
Essential is everyday luxury: jewellery designed to be worn daily, not kept in a safe. Twirly, Alizé and Tivoli offer rings, earrings and pendants with the same stone quality and finishing as the rest of the house.
It is the natural starting point for anyone discovering these jewellers for the first time. Browse all jewellery.
Some pieces cannot be found; they have to be made. Adler's bespoke service turns an idea, a family stone or a milestone into a piece designed for one person.
A commission follows five steps. It starts with a private consultation in Geneva or Gstaad, followed by stone selection, with certified gems sourced by the family. Hand sketches and, where useful, 3D renderings come next, then crafting in the workshop, and finally a fitting and handover. Each timeline is agreed at the first meeting.
Working directly with the family jewellers means one point of contact from first sketch to final setting, and a piece no one else will ever own.
Learn more about our bespoke services, or book a private consultation to begin your commission.
Geneva, Rue du Rhône
Our flagship sits at 23 Rue du Rhône, in the heart of the district known for Geneva jewelers. A private salon lets clients view pieces in calm and privacy.
Visitors are welcome, and appointments are recommended for high jewellery and bespoke consultations.
Gstaad
Our Gstaad boutique, at Promenade 74, serves the village's winter season. It offers a curated selection of Switzerland jewelry for clients spending the season in the Alps.
Please check opening times before visiting outside the winter months.
Adler in the Gulf
Adler collections are available through selected partner retailers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha. These are independent retailers, chosen because they share the standards clients expect from the family jewellers.
Contact us for current partner locations, or visit our stores.
A lifetime piece deserves more than a quick decision. Whether you are buying in Geneva, London or Dubai, these five checks help you choose jewellers you can trust.
- Heritage. How long has the house been trading, and who owns it today?
- Gemstone certificates. Ask for independent laboratory reports, such as GIA or SSEF, for any significant stone.
- Responsible sourcing. Look for Responsible Jewellery Council membership and a clear conflict-free diamond policy.
- Bespoke ability. Good jewellers can adapt a design or create one from scratch in their own workshop.
- After-care. Ask about cleaning, resizing, repairs and re-stringing for years to come.
The best jewellers will answer every one of these questions openly, and put the answers in writing.
