Atelier Zobel
The company was stablished in 1968, the German jewelry design studio, Atelier Zobel has become a byword for highly individual, bold, conceptual, and emotive jewelry. It was founded by cosmopolitan Moroccan-born, Pforzheim-trained master-craftsman, Michael Zobel, whose fundamental concept was the fusion of art and craft and the marriage of metals, gold, and silver, with natural gemstones. Today, the atelier, based in Constance, Germany is under the direction of his former apprentice, protégé and business partner Peter Schmidt. Nature provides the raw materials, and Peter crafts the dialogue between the natural crystalline structures of the gemstones and avant-garde art. It is this ornamental interplay and contrast, the integration of concept and material that give Atelier Zobel jewels their distinctive character. Schmidt’s metalwork transitions between platinum, gold, and silver, all accenting a rainbow of precious gems or other intriguing natural treasures such as meteorites, fossils and baroque pearls.
