Born in the picturesque town of Lucerne, Switzerland, Bayot Heer creates original jewellery emphasizing the richness of 18 karat gold, platinum and vibrant gemstones.
Jewellery is his third carrier after completing traditional apprenticeships in furniture making and architectural drafting in his native Switzerland, followed by working in the respective professions for several years. This unorthodox background provides some of the inspiration for his jewellery designs, blending traditional gold-smithing and techniques from woodworking with architectural forms.
Bayot’s focus is creating original hand crafted jewellery with an uncompromising attention to detail that will stand the test of time and become the heirloom of tomorrow.
