Goldschmiede Atelier Tessa

Goldschmiede Atelier Tessa has worked by hand in Lachen am Zürichsee since 2001, with Claudio Tessa leading a small team. Engagement rings, wedding rings, and commitment rings are made to order, taken from the first design through to the finished piece. The atelier reaches well past the usual precious metals, working in gold and 950 platinum but also carbon, tantalum, and Damascus steel, and it uses the Mokume Gane layering technique for couples who want a distinctive pattern.

Stones range from white diamonds to champagne and pink ones, Paraiba tourmalines, opals, rubies, and sapphires, and the team also works with South Sea pearls. Alongside ring commissions, Atelier Tessa takes in old jewellery for recycling and carries a few watch and writing-instrument brands.
