Artist Statement
I take great pride in the unique design and quality craftsmanship of each piece I make. I alone design and craft all of my jewelry one by one in my studio in Jerusalem. I work in sterling silver with gold vermeil on only parts of the silver. I have developed a few of my own techniques for creating different textured finishes on the silver and gold to bring out the versatility and beauty of the metals. Some finishes I brush into the metal and some I hammer onto the surface In all cases I use tools with different shaped surfaces to get a variety of textures. I combine high polished finishing together with different textured finishes along with the effects from the silver and gold colors and balance it all together in simplistic lines with a clean shape contemporary style and classic expression to create timeless design. My philosophy is to create jewelry with quality hand craftsmanship sophisticated design and original modern style at a practical price.
