That's what I strive for, every time I sit at my jeweler's bench. I love making jewelry and with every piece, my intent is to create a personal exchange between the object and its wearer. If a piece speaks to you, I've been successful!!
I am a passionate jewelry maker. I create wearable avant-garde artistic jewelry which beautifully reflects originality, simplicity, clean design lines and form of each single piece. Every detail is timeless in its perfection. I focus my own innate creativity and stand out with my creations. I do not "borrow" inspirations from other artists nor from shop windows.
The simple things always hold a surprise. They are never only that for which they were originally created for. One can discover its versatility only at a SECOND GLANCE: Is a nut really just a nut or you can use it for other purposes too? I've discovered much for myself in the little things which were actually produced for industry and for construction. I use them for jewelry and see the BEAUTY IN SIMPLICITY.
I also like the surprise effect, the DISCOVERY at a SECOND GLANCE (wow, ooh,aah, OMG!), when people recognize what the jewelry piece was made from. And I can assure you that great compliments then follow!
You can find more of my exquisite jewelry creations at my FB Fan Page:
Combining stainless steel nuts and washers with beads of ceramics, stones, metal ornaments, glass, acrylic and semi-precious beads among other materials I create an enticing collection of necklaces, bracelets and earrings. By using the different materials I give the jewelry a modern look of both freshness and simplicity.
The design of each piece of jewelry is a contemplative creation. Each of them – their color, the arrangement of the single parts and their position in the complete design is inspired by my personal taste and artistry as well as the result of patient handiwork. The jewelry of stainless steels nuts and the combination of nuts and beads have a very special appeal, being on the one hand masculine and on the other hand being both romantic and feminine. Many of these pieces in the so-called “industrial look” can be worn both by men and women.
I am a self-taught jewelry maker. Several decades ago, as a student of Archaeology and History in Jerusalem, I financed my studies and my daily life partly with jewelry making which I used to sell on the campus.
I continued my studies in Anthropology and Folklore in Germany and made there my PhD. and worked for many years producing and writing dozens of high quality documentary films.
After retiring, we moved to Cyprus, and I restarted my jewelry making, adding new ideas and new techniques. After my husband passed away I went back to Israel where I live now.
