A young apprentice named Eduard Jakob Gubelin joined the master and later married his daughter becoming a partner in the business. In 1899 it was renamed house of Gubelin.
With a boutique on the shores of lake Lucerne he opened a small gemmological lab to test the jewellery offered to clients.
In 1945 the business passed to his two sons Walter and Eduard Josef. The latter became a pioneering gemmologist.
