I had the great pleasure of being advised by Ms. B. – and I am deeply impressed by her exceptional expertise, her patience, and her keen sense for individual needs. Ms. B. possesses profound knowledge of gemology: from the precise identification and grading of gemstones to the assessment of their optical properties and valuation. Her ability to recognize the natural beauty of a stone and integrate it into a harmonious jewelry design is remarkable. I was particularly impressed by how she explained complex topics such as refraction, clarity grades, and color saturation in a clear and understandable way – a sign of true mastery in her field. From the initial consultation to the final execution, I felt valued and in excellent hands at all times. The attention to detail, the precise craftsmanship, and the passion with which Ms. B. performs her work clearly distinguish this jeweler from others. Anyone seeking the highest quality, honest advice, and a result that exceeds expectations will find themselves in the best hands here – especially with Ms. B. A clear recommendation for anyone who values perfection, sound gemstone expertise and personal service.
For our wedding in 2014, we had a ring made at Frieden in Thun. Although I only wear it occasionally, it broke a while ago on the inside of my hand. One would expect that a reputable and long-established jeweler would offer free repairs of their own handmade jewelry as part of their service. But not at Frieden. Initially, they wanted to charge me 204 Swiss francs for this service. Ultimately, Frieden charged me 160 Swiss francs. If I had known this before dropping off the ring, I wouldn't have made the trip from Bern to Thun. They didn't mention these costs when I dropped off the ring, or even that this "service" wasn't free. I would have at least expected this, since they told us at the time of purchase that we could come in anytime if there was a problem with the ring. All in all: poor service, poor advice, and as a customer, I simply feel ripped off. Never again!!
Friendly and responsive to customer requests. Highly recommended.
Great advice and a sensational selection.
