Then, Now & Always. 20 Years of Patina and Atelier Zobel

Artist list

Peter Schmid

Then, Now & Always will explore what elevated Atelier Zobel as an innovative revelation in art jewelry, the beginnings of Patina’s relationship with studio leader, Peter Schmid, to where we are now, 20 years later, with a look to the future. Throughout our program, Patina offers an exclusive and intimate look into the world of Schmid’s Atelier Zobel, from the comfort of your home.

Since the gallery’s beginning, Allison and Ivan have continued to adore Schmid’s level of craftsmanship, design, and style, which have earned his jewelry a home across Patina’s oeuvre of handcrafted works.

Expressions made of sterling silver, often mixed with palladium, platinum, and high karat gold, illustrate Schmid’s alchemic understanding of the material that allows him to create dramatically beautiful works of art. The artist amazes collectors, as lustrous talismans emerge, imbued with the atelier’s signature medley of matter, from diamonds and pearls, to meteorite and petrified stone.

Schmid imparts a thoughtful and alluring approach to the jewelry he creates. His work is revered worldwide for its attention to detail, its fusion of metals, his gemstone settings, and the fluid movement his pieces seem to share. Bold scale and intention elevate his composition. Precious stones are his muse as he builds an opulent carousel of arousing composition around them.

Join Patina as we venture into the world of Schmid’s Atelier Zobel. Through our 20-year story of extraordinary jewels, groundbreaking ingenuity surfaces in the ever evolving friendship, partnership and collaboration from years gone by and in those to come.
