1PROTOTYPP is a Swiss jewelry brand founded in 2022.
Born from an experimental approach, the brand works with existing materials to create upcycled jewelry, conceived as forms in constant evolution.

Each piece is designed as a unique prototype, the result of an intuitive process combining material, gesture, and craftsmanship. 1PROTOTYPP explores jewelry as a field of experimentation: free, imperfect.

The brand reflects a Swiss craft influence rooted in Appenzell, a region where handcraft traditions such as metalwork and costume jewellery have been practised and sustained over many generations, with techniques still preserved by local artisans today.

1PROTOTYPP works with metals that are long anchored in these traditional practices and still used by makers around Appenzell, shaped by hand with precision and intention and framed within a contemporary design approach.
