As soon as I saw Swiss Accent, I sent my congratulations about this jewelry with a Swiss touch to Mathilde! Not only will our English-speaking readers who live in the Lake Geneva area appreciate finding out more about this, but so will anyone who loves and supports Swiss images.
Between the Swiss flag or outline of Switzerland (SwissMap), you can also choose a key (representing Geneva) or go with an all-purpose cheese fondue symbol! These are very easy to send through the mail to your families overseas as well! Mathilde and Romain are offering a discount on any purchases made through Christmas, read below.
What has been the inspiration?
Swiss Accent was born out of a deep love for Switzerland and the beauty of its heritage. Romain, my partner, initially created the GenevaKey and SwissFlag bracelets as symbols of Swiss pride. Then, in early 2024, we decided to revive these iconic pieces together and add two new designs: SwissMap and SwissFondue. Our goal was to capture the essence of Switzerland in unique, stylish jewelry that people could carry with them every day.
Romain and I are both Swiss and currently live in Geneva. We also both have dual nationalities: Romain is Canadian, and I am French. Additionally, we are married, which makes this adventure even more special for us!
Have you been working on this idea forever?
While the original idea goes back several years, Swiss Accent as a brand truly took shape in February 2024 when we decided to bring the GenevaKey and SwissFlag back to life with a fresh touch. This led us to expand the collection, infusing our love for Swiss culture into every design.
Romain has been an entrepreneur in the watch and jewelry industry in Geneva for nearly 8 years. He has a background in 3D design for watchmaking and is the one who sketches all of our jewelry designs.
I have a background in hospitality management. I worked in recruitment before becoming self-employed nearly 4 years ago. Since then, I’ve been working independently in job coaching before starting the Swiss Accent adventure.
The bracelets can be shipped worldwide (here is the SwissMap in Canada)
What is the biggest obstacle you have had to overcome?
Running a small business with just the two of us has definitely been a learning curve! Every bracelet is assembled by hand, in our home, so Swiss Accent is truly a labor of love and remains very personal. Managing everything ourselves while ensuring the quality and care in each piece has been challenging but incredibly rewarding.
As a small, two-person business, we’re passionate about each bracelet we create, making them with care and dedication. We’re so grateful for our supportive community and excited to share Swiss culture with more people.
What are your plans for the future?
Our dream is to keep expanding the collection with unique pieces that tell a story about Switzerland. We’re excited about reaching more people who share a love for Swiss culture and are also focused on growing sustainably, maintaining our personal touch as we evolve.
What is your favorite product you offer and why?
Our favorite has to be the SwissMap bracelet. It captures the spirit of Switzerland beautifully and has resonated with our customers who appreciate the pride and elegance it represents.
Swiss Accent is about more than just jewelry – it’s a way to stay connected to Switzerland and to bring a piece of it wherever you go.
