Guadalajara, 
"For as long as I can remember, I have always been keen on handicrafts, especially jewelry, which I started making when I was a teen. I was born in Israel and traveled through Africa and America, always challenging myself to make different designs with what I found in the different countries I visited, such as wires, seeds, gems, bamboo, ceramic, and bone amongst others.
"In 1995 I arrived in Mexico and became enthralled by the quantity, quality and variety of artesanias. I traveled up and down the country until someone told me about Taxco, describing it to me as the 'jewelry capital of the world.' When I came and discovered their art school, I just knew this was the place for me!
"I enrolled in Mexico's renowned National University (UNAM) where I learned about design, drawing, art history, lapidating, engraving, photography and of course, jewelry-making. By the time I finished in 1999 I felt I had gained a solid foundation that has allowed me to develop my own style and design. My collections have been well-received throughout Mexico.
"As form of expression, through jewelry I am able share what I observe, what I think and what I experience. When I'm designing I search for beauty, aesthetics and elegance. I look for a way to leave my personal mark.
"My favorite themes include contrasts, textures, contemporary designs and geometry. I enjoy transforming the old into the new. They say 'there's nothing new under the sun,' but there are always thousands of ways to create a piece to renew it."

Stacy These earrings are lovely, with impeccable attention to detail. The metal is polished to mirror-like shine, and even the ear hooks are high-quality. I was also pleased with how light they are, while still being substantial and not flimsy. Very happy with this purchase!

Jane E These earrings are beautifully made. I love the way the post connects to the ear through the top circle. That way, the earrings are always facing front and can be easily seen. They are super lightweight to wear. They look different from other earrings I own or have seen, and they go with dressed up or dressed down outfits. So happy I purchased these! Thank you!
