Petra Class is coming to Telluride for a holiday trunk show with Slate Gray Gallery from December 26 – 30, 2024. She will be joined by her son Lucas and daughter-in-law Phoebe who work alongside her in her studio.
Petra Class grew up and was educated in Germany. After studying art history and philosophy at the University of Stuttgart, she pursued a rigorous traditional education in goldsmithing and design. Living and experimenting in the exciting city of Berlin before the fall of the Wall, she made her first steps into creating her own world of jewelry. After meeting her husband Steve, a California native, Petra emigrated to San Francisco and founded the jewelry design studio in 1991. She now works alongside her son and daughter-in-law to create her contemporary jewelry made of 22k gold and precious gemstones. Her organic design with rough and cut stones creates an understated, refined, and unexpected look.
