The RETINA\u00ae concept was developed in 2006 at the Kleine Rheinperle atelier; RetinaDesign AG has carried the business on since 2023.","legalName":"RetinaDesign AG","foundingDate":"2023-01-01","numberOfEmployees":{"@type":"QuantitativeValue","minValue":"1","maxValue":"10"},"address":{"@id":"https:\/\/retinadesign.com\/en\/fingerprint-ring-vs-retina-signature-the-discreet-and-beautiful-alternative-retinadesign\/#local-main-place-address"},"geo":{"@type":"GeoCoordinates","latitude":"47.5590696","longitude":"7.589044500000001"},"telephone":["+41788917989"],"contactPoint":{"@type":"ContactPoint","telephone":"+41788917989","email":"info@retinadesign.com"},"openingHoursSpecification":[{"@type":"OpeningHoursSpecification","dayOfWeek":["Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday"],"opens":"15:00","closes":"18:00"},{"@type":"OpeningHoursSpecification","dayOfWeek":["Wednesday","Friday"],"opens":"09:00","closes":"13:00"},{"@type":"OpeningHoursSpecification","dayOfWeek":"Saturday","opens":"10:00","closes":"17:00"}],"email":"info@retinadesign.com","areaServed":"globally","vatID":"CHE-483.540.767","taxID":"CHE-483.540.767","priceRange":"$$$","currenciesAccepted":"CHF, EUR,","paymentAccepted":"cash, VISA, Mastercard,Twint,Postfinance,","slogan":"There Is Only One","foundingLocation":{"@type":"Place","name":"Basel","sameAs":"https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q78"},"founder":[{"@id":"https:\/\/retinadesign.com\/#stefan-wacha"},{"@id":"https:\/\/retinadesign.com\/#marlen-wacha"}],"brand":[{"@id":"https:\/\/retinadesign.com\/#brand"},{"@id":"https:\/\/retinadesign.com\/#retinacode"},{"@id":"https:\/\/retinadesign.com\/#kleine-rheinperle"}],"identifier":{"@type":"PropertyValue","propertyID":"CHE-UID","value":"CHE-483.540.767","url":"https:\/\/www.uid.admin.ch\/Detail.aspx?uid_id=CHE-483.540.767"},"hasMap":"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/QEwU4Ager5bZ78ef7","knowsLanguage":["de","en","fr"],"knowsAbout":["Personalised jewellery","Wedding rings","Retinal pattern","Goldsmithing","RetinaSignatur","RetinaScan","RetinaCode"]},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/retinadesign.com\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/929c2f8b2b35cc82801b2393e13936cd","name":"StefanW","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/30f1c3db6f466000c76c0040123088b52601bf55106dc25b66e96dad525c8a2a?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/30f1c3db6f466000c76c0040123088b52601bf55106dc25b66e96dad525c8a2a?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/30f1c3db6f466000c76c0040123088b52601bf55106dc25b66e96dad525c8a2a?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"StefanW"},"url":"https:\/\/retinadesign.com\/en\/author\/stefanw\/"},{"@type":"PostalAddress","@id":"https:\/\/retinadesign.com\/en\/fingerprint-ring-vs-retina-signature-the-discreet-and-beautiful-alternative-retinadesign\/#local-main-place-address","streetAddress":"Rheinsprung 10","addressLocality":"Basel","postalCode":"4051","addressRegion":"Basel-Stadt","addressCountry":"CH"},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/retinadesign.com\/en\/fingerprint-ring-vs-retina-signature-the-discreet-and-beautiful-alternative-retinadesign\/#local-main-organization-logo","url":"https:\/\/retinadesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/250504-Retina-Final-Icon-Colour.svg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/retinadesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/250504-Retina-Final-Icon-Colour.svg","width":599,"height":595,"caption":"Retina\u00ae"},{"@type":"Brand","@id":"https:\/\/retinadesign.com\/#brand","name":"RETINA\u00ae","alternateName":["RETINA","RETINA Jewelry","RETINA Schmuck"],"url":"https:\/\/retinadesign.com\/en\/concept\/","logo":"https:\/\/retinadesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Logo_Domaine-AbstandneueFarbeNicht-Verkleinert.png","slogan":"There Is Only One","description":"RETINA\u00ae is the jewellery brand of RetinaDesign AG, Basel.
