Michael Peuster is a stone carver from Idar-Oberstein, Germany.
Based in western Germany, the artist is a graduate of Idar-Oberstein Technical School for Gemstone Jewelry Design.
Brilliant stone cutter, jeweler and engraver, Peuster has created a stunningly gallery of exquisite works that are real masterpieces.
The striking realism of carved of gemstone sculptures is the result of many years of work, practice, and talent of the jeweler.
Trained as a goldsmith and gem cutter, Peuster works with many different types of gems – agate, opal, amethyst, beryl, quartz, crystal, and others.
Most of the work by the German master is dedicated to rendering faces in a host of forms: Cameos, low relief carvings, which project only slightly from the surface on which they are carved; and reverse intaglios, carvings etched into the backs of polished gems then painted with oils to produce lifelike images with a 3-D effect.
“A carving will be around longer than any photo. Think about the images we have from antiquity. They are carvings,” Peuster said.
“These gemstones will have the same beauty in a thousand years.”
