Since 1996

One sale in 1996. The same family behind the counter.

It started with Martin's first sale at the LOEB Egge in Bern. Thirty years later the counter stands a few steps from where it began — still family-run, and every piece still handled, checked and sized by someone in the shop.

Our story
What it is made of

Silver, steel, and the stones we set in them.

Macro of polished 925 sterling silver

925 Sterling Silver

Mostly uncoated · Some rhodium-plated or oxidised

Most of our silver is plain 925 with nothing on top. It tarnishes in time, and a polish brings it straight back. Some pieces are rhodium-plated to slow that down, and some are oxidised dark on purpose.

Macro of brushed 316L stainless steel grain

316L Stainless Steel

Surgical grade · Also 18k gold and black plated

Will not tarnish, will not irritate skin, and survives daily wear without ceremony. Also finished in 18k gold plating and in black.

Gemstones & Zirconia

Machine-set · Held securely

Larimar, turquoise, labradorite, topaz, amethyst and more. Stones are machine-set rather than hand-set — a CNC-cut seat grips more securely than a hand-bent claw. Apart from rings, we make our gemstone pieces ourselves.

In store

We also look after what you already own.

Bring in a piece at the LOEB counter — whether you bought it from us or not. We take it in, tell you honestly whether it is worth doing, and hand the specialist work to workshops we have used for years.
