Atelier Munsteiner
Atelier Munsteiner is a high-end jewelry brand founded by Bernd Munsteiner in 1972. The brand is known for its unique, contemporary designs and its innovative use of gemstones.
Bernd Munsteiner was born in Germany in 1943, and began working with gemstones at a young age. He trained as a gem cutter and was inspired by the works of sculptors such as Henry Moore and Constantin Brancusi. In the 1970s, he began experimenting with a new technique called "fantasy cuts," which involved cutting gemstones in unconventional shapes and patterns.
Atelier Munsteiner was founded in 1972 and quickly gained recognition for its innovative designs and high-quality craftsmanship. The brand's pieces often feature gemstones that have been cut and polished in-house using Munsteiner's unique techniques.
In addition to its use of fantasy cuts, Atelier Munsteiner is known for its bold, contemporary designs. The brand's pieces often incorporate geometric shapes and architectural elements, and are designed to be both wearable and artistic.
Atelier Munsteiner has won numerous awards for its designs, including the Diamonds International Award and the German Design Award. The brand's pieces are sold in high-end stores around the world, and have been featured in publications such as Vogue and Harper's Bazaar.
Today, Atelier Munsteiner is run by Bernd Munsteiner's son, Tom, who has continued the brand's tradition of innovation and craftsmanship. The brand continues to push the boundaries of traditional jewelry design, creating pieces that are both timeless and cutting-edge.
