Trained in South Africa by a German master goldsmith, he worked in both large scale jewelry production and limited edition line creation before joining the teaching staff at the renowned Gemological Institute of America. Peter brings a unique blend of humor, creativity and practicality to both his own work and the techniques he passes on to his students.
