Baenteli, Swiss precision at the service of creativity, which won a Couture Design Award 2019 ♦ ︎
In a small Swiss country, in the Canton of Bern, there is a jeweler who has a surprising production. The surprise comes from the fact that La Neuveville has about 3500 residents and is located between Lake Biel and the Jura mountains. In short, probably a great place for a walk, but definitely far from the jewelery routes. Here, however, in 1968 André Baenteli opened his first restoration and creation workshop for luxury jewelery and Swiss watches. His work was appreciated and in 1987 his son, Thierry Baenteli, presented his first collection at Baselworld.
Since then, the presence at the major jewelery fairs of the small but sophisticated Maison is constant. Its production also includes high jewelry and, as it is fair to expect in the nation that has made precision an export virtue, every piece of jewelery is certified and duly stamped by the Swiss authorities.
Baenteli also points out that while the initial stages of the drawings are manually realized, the latest phases are created with the best and latest jewelery production technology, including 3D design and printing, Cnc laser cutting, precision stones precious and laser engraving. In short, artisans, but also in tune with the times. The jewelry produced has an immediately perceptible quality. A quality that was awarded at the Couture Design Award with first place in the Best in Diamonds Below $ 20,000 category. Rudy Serra
