We are a dynamic and creative Swiss company - founded in 1993 - with exclusive hand-crafted designs in Baltic, Dominican and Mexican amber. Cool Design exhibits a large selection of necklaces, bracelets, rings and gem-quality semi-products at major European jewellery shows, including Baselworld (Hall of Elements) and Inhorgenta Europe (Hall of Design). Gallery owners, goldsmiths and designers appreciate our innovative approach to carving unusual forms. Our unique amber rings, bangles and necklaces - the expression of today's individualistic lifestyle - have found their way into private collections.
Statement to our work
We observe with satisfaction an increased integration of amber in jewellery today. There are multiple and convincing reasons for this: amber is light, the origin of this fossil resin is covered in an aura of mystery and its sheer unlimited colours are breathtaking. Although amber is relatively easy to work with, being a non-renewable ressource of the Earth it is increasingly difficult to find in gem quality.
Amber is the only gem with which bold, voluminous, yet perfectly wearable pieces of jewellery can be created. It is an extraordinary experience to cut amber: the raw material has a pleasant and unmistakable fragrance which allows to tell the origin of the piece. We use all varieties and all colours of amber in our atelier, including the rare and appreciated blue and green colour hues.
Amber is regarded as one of the first objects of cult and adornment of humans. This is one of the reasons why we search and find inspiration in ancient jewellery.
