Alexandre Iffrich
Jeweler
Montreux

« The profession of jeweler is for me a way of translating the melody into the most concrete art: the jewel. »

As far back as he can remember, hands and their creative power have always been at the center of Alexandre Iffrich’s life. From his childhood alongside his basket maker grandfather who created his own tools to his choice of the harmonica when he started music, his whole life revolved around this: the finesse of the fingering and the work of the material. raw. Today, 20 years after its beginnings, it is still this work of the hand, this craftsmanship in the noblest sense of the term, which makes the uniqueness of its creations. Sometimes rock, often jazzy, the pieces he imagines are those that reveal you, that transcend you and that carry you. Like a second skin, her rings and necklaces find their owners, to each his own, adopted in the emotion of an encounter.

« With time, we manage to master the metal and bring it where we want. »

Alexandre Iffrich knows it, a jewel is intimate and it is for life. It’s also quite a story. Stories that their owners entrust to Alexandre when they come to ask him for help to repair them and sometimes more when it comes to reinventing them so that these pieces can continue their life in another form.
This is what Alexandre Iffrich offers today in addition to his unique creations: he reinvents your old jewelry to place it in a modern story. From a jewel from another time, the craftsman-creator will redraw, rework, resize the piece to allow it to continue its existence and accompany a new life without betraying the previous one.
Alexandre Iffrich is a storyteller, a composer who has chosen stones to express himself. Music, history and passion guide his hands and his tools to offer you a unique and eternal jewel, a piece that will look like you, sober or atypical, always with the greatest respect for the sacred laws of craftsmanship and creation.
