Green Tourmaline Cabochon in Yellow Gold Band Ring by Alexander Leyser

In 2014, Alexander Leyser launched his eponymous company and brand, ALEXANDER LEYSER, in Kirschweiler, Germany, a town strategically positioned right next to Idar-Oberstein, the city which has been a world leader in the gemstone industry for over five-hundred years. The Leyser family has been crafting gemstones through four generations, dating back to the nineteenth century. Alexander Leyser’s greatgrandfather Albert, grandfather Oswald, and finally his father Berthold were all professional lapidators of the highest caliber. Like Alexander, his ancestors ran their company in Kirschweiler, where their workshop supplied world famous jewelers with top notch cabochons (polished gemstones) as well as ring and bracelet stones. High-value colored gemstones are the heart and lifeblood of the company’s creations. From the mining of the gemstone to the last polish of the jewel, the absolute highest quality of materials and workmanship and a policy of ethical sustainability are demanded. True artistry is the pulse that resonates at every step of the creation process. Unique designs are inspired by the magic of the stones themselves, and are crafted into being by the world-class gemstone specialists and lapidaries in Idar-Oberstein, Germany. Customers are drawn by the uncanny combination of innovative designs of unfading freshness, and exquisite workmanship that echoes an age-old tradition.
