Maison

Four generations

of colour, cut by

hand in Genève.

Hands with rings against a blue sky

One family, one quai, one rule: never make the same jewel twice.

We are not the largest jeweller in Geneva and we do not intend to become it. We are the one who waits two years for the right ruby — and then makes a single ring with it.

The atelier

Thirty-eight hands

Setters, polishers, gemmologists and one engraver who has worked here for forty-one years. Every ASTERIA piece carries the marks of the people who made it, stamped inside the shank.
