Born in 1899 in Romania, Paul A. Lobel showed artistic ability since childhood. As a teenager, he immigrated to the United States where he studied draftsmanship, industrial arts, design, sculpture, and metalworking at various art institutions in New York City.
The young artist was especially impressed by the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris in 1925. Subsequently, demonstrating his craft talent in decoration, design and silver sculpture, he himself became a regular participant in various exhibitions in New York museums.

Lobel lived in New York from the 1920s until his death in 1983. He made a great contribution to the development of contemporary American design, including the design of silver jewelry.
One of the most sought-after jewelers of the mid-century, Lobel created wearable art using sterling silver or metal alloys instead of gold. His geometric modernist design jewelry is always wonderful and worth collecting. Traditionally, the craftsman signed his pieces with his name “Lobel” in capital letters and the word “sterling”.
