Frieden

Originating as folk-art, Frieden manufacturing jewellers was founded in 1898, the year Emil Frieden opened a modest workshop in the Emmental. He produced fine hand-crafted silver jewellery for traditional folk costumes and the Frieden company’s reputation quickly spread to other regions in Switzerland. As a result, it became necessary to extend the premises, and the workshops were moved to Thun in 1908.
