It takes an exceptionally creative mind to accomplish what a successful fine jewelry designer must do--conceptualizing a 3-D form in one's mind and transforming it into a beautiful piece of jewelry, that is comfortable to wear, is an extremely complicated task. It is this testing ground that separates good designers from the great, and one jewelry icon that has risen above the pack is Michael Zobel, of Atelier Zobel.
Born in Morocco, raised in Spain and trained in Germany, Zobel has been creating some of the world's most avant garde and provocative fashion jewelry designs for nearly 40 years. Well know throughout the fashion world for his innovative methods of combining precious and semi-precious metals and gemstones in strikingly fresh ways, Zobel passionately adheres to his mission of designing exotic, yet comfortable fine jewelry.
A master at the art of technical soldering, Michael Zobel utilizes his remarkable talent by fusing gold, platinum and silver into colorful patterns, finished with a variety of stimulating textures that are truly one of a kind. Unique designs, such as this flowing 18kt rose gold and platinum ring, adorned with aquamarine and flush set diamonds, are guaranteed to look stunning at a cocktail party or on the runway.
Not limiting himself to ring designs, Zobel has shown special interest in creating a spectacular collection of high-end cuff bracelets. Replicating his hallmark style of colorful patterns on a large scale, the crisscrossed design of this 18kt yellow and white gold cuff is accentuated by an impressive cubic grid of raw diamonds.
