Adler are a fifth generation family jewellers. In 1886, Swiss-born Jacques Adler, after training as a jeweller in Vienna, opened a workshop in Istanbul, bringing together Eastern and European influences. The company continued as a family business over the decades. In 1970, the founder’s grandsons Franklin and Carlo Adler returned to their family’s historical roots, opening a boutique in Geneva.
