New Products from traditional Swiss Jeweller FURRER-JACOT
Unique moments demand unique commemorative Jewellery
The 2011 FURRER-JACOT Collection consists of a combination of classics and enhancements of classic themes. However, the traditional Swiss jeweller was not content to stop there: Head Designer Lucas Ruppli has broadened the assortment with
new pieces and new designs and infused it with sparkling elegance. Exceptional
creativity and bespoke production guarantee now, as always, truly unique commemorative pieces.
One of the highlights of this year’s assortment is the Glamoureux solitaire collection. The four-pronged 3 carat Solitaire in a claw setting with pavées on the
ring and prongs is one of the most prominent pieces in this collection. It symbolises FURRER-JACOT’s devotion to its
own design style and its commitment to
always offering the client something
unique. The four-pronged engagement
ring is also available in slightly less elaborate form in 0.3 carat.
”We leave nothing to chance and recognise no limits.”
The fact that at FURRER JACOT each step of
production is carried out seamlessly by specialised artisans under the guidance of our inhouse Head Designer guarantees the unique
combination of outstanding design, traditional
craftsmanship passed down over generations
and innovative production techniques.
Exquisitely designed, and inspired by the fine filigree jewellery and traditional embroidery
of St Gall, these rings are inlayed with delicately threaded roses. The black base of each
piece is meticulously inlayed by hand with gold threading. Each ring places the ultimate
demands on the skill of the master craftsmen, whose refinements are thus unmistakable.
More inimitable is scarcely possible: the new ice-frosted concave models are beyond a
doubt one-of-a-kind. Crafted by hand through a “padding technique” and use of special
polishing material these rings exude a “radiant rawness” from all sides. Their individuality
can be further enhanced through an array of diamonds.
The roof over a relationship, and the protection of a family, was the inspiration for an innovation in the Magiques collection. The gentlemen’s ring carved with a fine fluting, the ladies’ ring set with baguette diamonds, give the pair an understated elegance yet an exclusive appearance. These models are at their most distinctive in red gold.
The FURRER-JACOT flagship collection, les Sculptures, contains the most striking new
pieces. Each one is a unique sculpture in itself, intricately fashioned by hand from individual components and meticulously mounted by Goldsmiths; now even more comfortable to
wear. Take up the challenge that many couples are applying to their relationships: unite
without binding each other with chains.
The new pentagonal Sculpture ring, actually
comprised of 3 individual rings, exemplifies
this theme: the individual rings made of white
gold, in their pentagonal shape symbolizing
openness, are fastened together with red
gold pinions, with a matt finish exterior and
polished interior. Distinct, yet belonging together.
The most precious metals and the ultimate in comfort for the wearer.
FURRER-JACOT offers its models not only
in red, yellow and white Gold, but also in
Platinum and the increasingly popular Palladium.
Comfort and “wearability” of the newest
pieces are also of utmost importance: Interior

solidity, such as that from relationship & family, which should not become rigid. New,
more rounded links, smaller interfaces, softer
more serene forms, clearer lines, fewer exterior links - these pieces afford more “Ying”
than “Yang,” which enthusiasts of Asian design will find very amenable.
The prize-winning FURRER-JACOT Designer Lucas Ruppli has once again realised his
personal vision through a selection of inimitable creations of seductive allure for every
lifestyle. FURRER-JACOT is certain that the classics of tomorrow will be found amongst
today’s innovations. A traditional house such as FURRER-JACOT knows this phenomenon well.
