In the Spotlight — Katerina Perez on LEYSER

In 2020, jewellery writer and industry authority Katerina Perez featured LEYSER in her “Who Is Who” series, looking at the family, the atelier and our longstanding relationship with coloured gemstones.

The portrait explores a tradition rooted in Idar-Oberstein and a way of working that continues to begin with the stone itself.

From aquamarine and tourmaline to tsavorite, sapphire and morganite, coloured gemstones have shaped the work of generations of the Leyser family — selected for their individual character before becoming part of a jewel.
