OLIVER SCHMIDT
Oliver Schmidt, goldsmith and jewelry designer, combines his many years of experience in jewelry making with those in related professions in his designs. Years of training in silver and iron forging are embedded in the handling and sense of form for precious metal.
Shapes, structures and details refer to the application of analogue, basic craft techniques. His style is to translate the powerful elements of forging into fine and clear shapes for jewelry.
Oliver Schmidt’s jewelry goes far beyond the decorative and technically perfect. It is always a gesture, an attitude to life, poetry.
WORKSHOP
Our studio is located in the historic center of the gold town Pforzheim. In a former Art Deco industrial building that was largely intact from the war. The rooms of our workshop still breathe the spirit of innovative creativity in Germany.
Our selected and certified dealers for precious metals and diamonds are located in the immediate vicinity. The responsible origin of the materials for our jewelry is essential for us. In addition to extracting metal from recycling, our dealers, as members of the RJC (Responsible Jewelery Council), guarantee unequivocal origin of the highest quality.
HOW WE WORK
Familiar with traditional techniques, we produce jewelry in contemporary shapes – by hand, individually, each one on its own.
Fine handcraftsmanship is always an integral component of my collection. From the design to implementation in small series – and also for individualized custom-made pieces.
Our partner shops, jewelers and galleries are widely distributed in Europe and overseas.
