The AKHAL Concept: a symbolic jewel full of colors
Laurene Gobet
The Akhal concept
The jewelry system also originates from the equestrian world. Having had the privilege of keeping our horses at home, we were able to use our creativity to design a modular space within a small stable. We utilized a well-known recycling method: horseshoes. These were used to open and close stall doors, secured with rope. The Akhal system is inspired by this type of closure.
After several tests and prototypes, we now have a discreet, elegant and robust system for the enjoyment of all dreamers.
Endless possibilities
The idea of being able to change the stones simply stemmed from our desire to find a way to offer the end customer a wider variety of colored gemstones and fewer pieces of jewelry. The first series is minimalist, a refined, elegant, and understated style, where the stone takes center stage.
Swiss Made is very important to us, likely thanks to Sabine's job at a small business that manufactures dental instruments entirely in Switzerland. This pride stems from being able to offer a high-quality Swiss Made product at a competitive price. As a result, our jewelry has been made in Switzerland from the very beginning. We are constantly striving to optimize production because, while Swiss manufacturing is expensive, we are at the heart of precision thanks to the numerous watchmaking and medical companies that produce in Switzerland.
Ethics
Production in Switzerland, rather than assembly, allows for complete control over the fair treatment of workers, who are often resourceful independent contractors working closely with us. The stones themselves come primarily from the stock accumulated by Hofmann father and son, which has been in Switzerland for many years and originates from mines where they themselves witnessed the fair treatment of the workers.
The necessary new purchases will also be made through well-known channels in order to maintain the natural and untreated quality of the stones, as well as the ethical aspect of their extraction.
An original gift, full of emotion and precious memories.
The concept allows you to give yourself unique, innovative, and recurring gifts. Whether for yourself or a loved one, this gift will always be appreciated. The first option is an investment, but Gems starting at CHF 350 remain affordable and allow for different gifts for every occasion.
Have you ever found yourself the day before a trip wondering which jewelry to pack? Perhaps for a wedding, a gala, a meeting? Or all of the above? The Akhal system ensures you always have the right style for every occasion and doesn't take up extra space in your essentials.
The creation of a case is being studied in order to transport Akhal jewelry safely and in a small space.
