How it works

1

Contact us to arrange a consultation to discuss your ideas for your unique piece of jewelry.

2

Once we or one of our global partners have performed your RetinaScan and taken all the necessary measurements such as ring sizes, we start the design process together.

3

After you have received your personal 3D jewelry animation, you can either request changes or approve our proposal for production.

4

Now the magic begins. After a wax mold is made, it is cast 1 to 1 in gold or platinum using a special casting process.

5

In our Swiss workshop, our goldsmiths bring the unique Retina pattern to life with great attention to detail and create the beautiful and typical, sophisticated RETINA look.

Our experienced jewel setters then set the gemstones you have chosen. As soon as the hallmarks and optional engravings have been applied, your unique piece is ready and can be collected. Time for champagne!

Handcrafted in Switzerland

Every jewelry piece is meticulously designed and manufactured in our own workshop. Recently fully renovated and modernized to  produce top quality jewelry and one of a kind watches. Here, some of our most valuable secrets are kept, as also when it comes to worldwide locations where RETINA® jewelry can be produced: THERE IS ONLY ONE:  Basel. We ship worldwide.    

A New Concept - Based on Your RetinaCode®

Not even identical twins have the same retina pattern. But just as important as their uniqueness, the retina at the back of our eyes is beautiful and reminds us of roots, rivers or branches. Designed by nature before we were born, your retina reflects your inner beauty. As unique as a fingerprint, but much more beautiful, your retina is a kind of signature  and the chosen selection for your jewelry we call Your RetinaCode®.

True Luxury: Ultra-Personalization

These days, personalization is all too often just a marketing phrase. At RETINA, we take this seriously and go the extra mile. We make each piece ultra-personalized, cater to your wishes and offer you different variations to choose from until you are completely satisfied. None of our rings will ever exist twice, so we make it our mission with every single order to get it right the first time. Because it’s the only time.

Because just like you:

There is only one.

Retina-Know-How

Our mission was clear from the start: we didn’t want to make jewelry for the masses, like most jewelry brands today.

So we looked for a way to immortalize ONE person on a ring in an aesthetic way, and not just with initials or an engraved name. Nor by a fingerprint, which reminds us more of forensics, but has no place on an emotional symbol like a partner ring, meant to represent the one you love.

What we needed was a symbol that represented the following:

  • Uniqueness
  • Aesthetics
  • A personal connection

First and foremost, this should fill the jewelry with MEANING.

Likewise, the motif had to exude a certain restraint by not immediately revealing its value to any observer, as the true beauties of life are most precious when they have to be discovered and don’t reveal themselves at first glance.

The discoverer of this concept, who was a neuroscientist until 2008, identified the retina as the only structure that brings all this together.

The retina is a beautiful root-like structure at the back of our eye. It houses the nerve cells that enable us to see.

The retina is as individual as a fingerprint, but much more aesthetically pleasing due to its organic, living appearance.

No two people on this planet will ever have the same retina pattern, not even identical twins who otherwise look 100% the same.

The Retina is not the Iris

The retina, hidden at the back of the eye, is often confused with the iris at the front of the eye and can only be visualized with a special camera.

However, this retinascan is quick and uncomplicated and allows us to visualize the beauty of your individuality in a simple and uncomplicated way.

Retina Code Graphic

The RetinaCode® is the exact selection from the Retina pattern that we choose together and which is immortalized on your piece of jewelry. It thus becomes your new, personal signature.

We choose rectangular cut-outs for rings and round cut-outs for round pieces of jewelry (pendants, watches, cufflinks). Here you become a designer yourself: we make suggestions and support you, but the decision is yours:

1) Which person(s) are at the heart of the personal story that your unique piece tells?

2) Which (left or right) retina and which exact section – your RetinaCode® – will be immortalized on your piece of jewelry and thus be largely responsible for the appearance of your unique piece?

 

No one can and will ever own the same piece of jewelry.
