What is Adler?
Adler Joailliers is a family-owned jewellery house headquartered in Geneva. It is known for high jewellery and bespoke pieces built around precious stones, as well as for experimenting with materials such as titanium.
History
Swiss-born Jacques Adler founded the business in 1886 as a goldsmith's workshop in Istanbul, where it combined Western techniques with Eastern traditions and became a royal jeweller. In the early 1970s his grandson Franklin Adler moved the company to Geneva. Since 2015 the fourth generation, Allen, Karen and Daisy Adler, has led the house.
