"Designing the stone" is the motto at family-run jeweler Atelier Munsteiner. Born into a family of gem-cutters, Bernd Munsteiner studied at the arts and crafts school in Pforzheim and his stone-cutting skills have earned him the moniker "the Picasso of gems" among his industry peers. He was the first contemporary jewelry artist to work with crystals - cutting and polishing them into sculptural geometric shapes set in gold or platinum. Today, Bernd runs Atelier Munsteiner along with his son Tom and daughter-in-law Jutta, who each bring their own set of fine jewelry skills to the company.
The Munsteiner studio sits nestled within the village of Stiphausen and was built in 1973 as home a studio. This family owned jewelry juggernaut house is known for creativity in jewelry design and gem cutting. Munsteiner jewelry is sought after and collected all over the world, making the pieces not only higher in value, but extremely rare.
