Atelier Zobel (Germany)

ATELIER ZOBEL combines convention and innovation to pursue exclusive, yet timeless works of art. Nearly forty years in the making, the Germany-based firm combines metal, organic sources, and precious stones to create collections that stir the emotions. Owners Michael Zobel and Peter Schmid feel that, “…the beauty of a piece is measured by the emotional intensity and pleasure it provides,” and therefore, “these small works of art often become our clients’ most beloved objects.” Still, the creative process is only complete when an emotional bond has been formed between the jewel and the wearer. This mantra has led the firm to countless awards and exhibitions both in Germany and around the world, making each piece a true collector’s item. As they continue to develop and progress, the German Atelier continues to produce wearable art that “cultivates curiosity, gives pleasure and mediates a positive approach to life.”
