Gubelin Vintage Fine Jewelry
Switzerland is a country known throughout the world for its banks, cheese, watches and chocolate. And yet, it is there that the most complete collection of precious stones in the world is stored. It all started in the Swiss city of Lucerne in 1854, when Jakob Josef Mauritz Breitschmid opened a watchmaking workshop. Jakob’s apprentice, Eduard Jakob Gübelin, married his daughter Bertha Breitschmied and in 1899 took over the management of the business. It was from this time that the history of the Gübelin brand began, although the official date of foundation of Gübelin is 1854.
An important milestone in the history of the brand was the opening of a jewelry store and a mineralogical laboratory in 1928. It was here that Gübelin’s grandson, Doctor of Mineralogy Eduard Josef Gübelin (1913–2005) began to conduct mineral research that marked the beginning of modern gemology.
Today, the sixth generation of the world famous watch and jewelry brand continues the glorious family tradition based on a deep knowledge of precious stones.
Gübelin jewelry with its hundred-year-old history is in high demand among both jewelry lovers and collectors. Handcrafted using precious metals and natural stones, the jewelry comes in a variety of designs. The labeling traditionally includes the brand’s logo and the purity of gold, or “Gübelin”.
