Harry Hofmann

Harry Hofmann AG trades from Rämistrasse 33 in central Zurich, buying and selling antique and vintage jewellery along with gemstones and diamonds. The firm has a particular interest in signed pieces and high-quality goldsmith work from every period, and its specialisms include Jugendstil and Art Nouveau, Art Deco and later signed jewels from houses such as Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Tiffany and Bulgari.

The house writes valuations for insurance, inheritance and sale, and authenticates both the genuineness and the origin of a piece, work handled by its own gemologists. It also takes on commissions and repairs. If you have inherited an old ring and want it assessed against the market, or you are looking to buy a period piece, this is a long-established Zurich address for either.
