“When we introduced our first cosmetic tweezers onto the market in the 1980s, it was somewhat of a sensation. It was as though someone was finally taking the small, everyday needs of women seriously. Back then, tweezing with imprecise tweezers was often torturous. Up to that point, Rubis had made a name for itself above all with their top-notch watchmaker tweezers, which were used by the renowned Swiss watch manufacturers Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe and Cartier to insert the rubies - a job that required the utmost precision. It was this high standard of quality which we brought to the area of cosmetics. We already knew from experience what it takes to make a truly good pair of tweezers. And I also knew what women expect from a fine cosmetic tweezers. We thus sought to combine these two aspects in a new form that was perfectly tailored to meet these demands. Today, Rubis products are recognized as icons in tweezers design. You will therefore not only discover your tweezers at your beauty expert’s, but also at completely unexpected places like, for instance, a design museum. However, I consider the most important place to be a different one altogether: the place in your everyday life. Because that is exactly why we have made our tweezers as attractive and practical as they are.”

Use
Rubis Universal Gold is the traditional all round tweezers with fine straight tips. These make it ideal for plucking eyebrows. Made completely of high-quality surgical steel, you can disinfect and sterilize Rubis Classic Steel without a problem. Thanks to its perfect ease of handling, make-up artists like Bobbi Brown and Soul Lee prefer to work with Rubis cosmetic tweezers.

Material
What characterizes a really good pair of tweezers? Three things: The perfect closing of the tips, their precise edges, and an arm tension that, when squeezing the tweezers, offers gentle, flexible resistance. Sensitive qualities that, even with a great deal of experience and expertise, can only be coaxed out of the steel when it is of the highest quality. Which is why compromises are not an option. We therefore only work with top-quality surgical steel that is acid-proof, antimagnetic and rustproof. Thanks to these outstanding material characteristics, our tweezers retain their perfect functionality for many years.

Manufacture
Values are important to us. In our products and in the methods we use to produce them. We have been manufacturing tweezers for over 60 years in Switzerland. With experience and skilled employees, many of who have remained true to our company for several years. Exceptionally reliable and precise cosmetic tweezers are the result of a 45-step process that is very much in the tradition of Swiss precision mechanics. Made by hand - and, in a final step, again tested individually under a magnifying glass. Only tweezers that pass this test receive the seal of quality “Rubis. Made in Switzerland.“

Design
For us, design isn’t just a matter of form. It is our promise that we do everything possible so that our products retain their convincing shape and perfect function for many years to come. And since it hasn’t gone unnoticed that we take this promise seriously, our tweezers and scissors have been honored internationally with numerous renowned awards for their outstanding design.
