TESTIMONIALS

​

As a jade carver I sometimes invite guest artists to exhibit and sell at my gallery in China. The work of Peter Schilling is so distinctive and of such a high standard that it is always a pleasure to have his work on show. He is one of the very few western jade artists who my Chinese customers admire.  I think this may in part be due to his profound knowledge of jade and the techniques involved in carving it.

Such lovely earrings, they are lightweight and have natural movement. so easy and effortless to wear all day. the texture of the jade is pleasantly matte. thank you Peter, I am enjoying these very much.

-SM, New York

I'm loving this piece! It's so beautifully sculpted and a touchstone when I wear it (which has been quite often!!). The pictures are perfect though it's hard to describe just how lovely the hand dyed silk cord feels on. Thank you!

The beauty of this necklace is far greater in person, than the photos can depict. Peter's artistry is apparent in the balance of graphic shape and subtle detail. Wearing art, and jade filled with spiritual energy. It is my honor to wear this piece, carved by an artist's hands and soul.

In my researches about jade I regularly came upon the name of Peter Schilling and was astonished at the artistic quality and phenomenal carving techniques of this artist. I got into contact with Peter and was able to buy my first jade from him, a leaf with petiole loop pendant of Wyoming nephrite jade. This extraordinary jade fascinates me every time I look at it and feel the unique aesthetic finish that Peter is able to achieve with traditional methods. I bought a second jade some years later, an absolutely stunning Celt with notches again from Wyoming nephrite jade, but with an entirely different color and texture. These two wonderful jades are high points in my collection, and I intend to expand my collection of Peter Schilling jades sometime in the near future.

I just received the earrings and they are beautiful. They hang perfectly. Thoughtfully designed making them both beautiful and easy to wear, which I find lacking in earrings most of the time.

Your newest work is a combination of superb design, carving and beautiful choices of jade. There is a gentle soft nature to all of them. Many express a beautiful sense of motion. I look forward to my next piece of yours.

This is my third piece from the artist, and it fully meets my expectations which have been set very high by the previous pieces.

This is a unique and stunning jade pendant. Communication with the seller was quick and easy and the shipping was also incredibly fast.

I'll probably buy another before the end of the year.

Just beautiful!

Such amazing artistry in the way this piece was carved. I had fallen in love with this little ghost pendant and couldn't stop thinking about it, so I finally purchased it- so glad I did.

Everything Peter makes is sublime.

I've had the pleasure of witnessing his jade artistry for many years and it only gets better and better. He is a master.

These earrings are instant treasures."

This carving is a piece of art. Wearing this piece of luminescent, buttery jade feels like wearing an ancient artifact that is imbued with magical properties.

-MW, Virginia

​

Amazing jade, amazing carving-exactly what I expected from the pictures. (And the cord! Wow!)

-SU, Idaho

Perfection. More beautiful than the pictures. Just heavy enough to feel the earrings, yet not weighty, and they're very grounding when I reach out to touch them.

​I first saw Peter's work in Ornament magazine and was drawn to the natural shapes and beautiful nephrite jade colors. I bought my first piece by him in 2007. Since then I've purchased many more pieces and had the pleasure of meeting Peter at the Big Sur Jade Festival. Each piece is made with exquisite design and precise craftmanship. I love the elegant, silky finish that he imparts to his pieces. They're not only beautiful to the eye but pleasing to touch and fondle.

-Elizabeth, California

​

I bought my first Peter Schilling pendant in 2010, and have acquired several more over the years.  While no one strictly needs a jade pendant, Peter’s pieces are compelling. The combination of choice of material, design and workmanship results in pieces that are a delight to wear and own.  I think of them as miniature sculptures which also serve as jewelry.
