Peter Schmid has long been cultivating the art and craft of jewelry design and creation. Peter’s inspiration is found in natural structures and growth patterns. Every piece begins with the gemstone which is selected based on its distinct characteristics and extraordinary cut quality. Rather than searching for a stone to fit a specific piece of jewelry, Peter lets the stone speak for itself and formulates a design around it. As he states: “Beauty springs from individuality, even imperfection, and manifests itself by being authentic-purely itself.”
