Imagination and passion for stones, in particular tourmalines, has landed this South African jeweler in the heart of Zurich, Switzerland. Philippe Pfeiffer has captivated the Swiss with his `inventive' and daring combinations of different materials. One of his particular talents is transforming old -fashion jewelry into modern and often provocative creations. Inspired by everything multifunctional, he works with his wife Emmanuelle from his atelier which also functions as his store. Although the jewelry may seem extravagant, he is by no means a jeweler to the privileged few. The large selection of silver jewelry is well within the purse strings of young people.
