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."

Sabrina The black of the obsidian and yellow of the citrine really "pop" in these earrings. They are such a unique design and they feel good in my ears and look lovely (better than the photos). I was looking for a pair of Taxco earrings to match an onyx sterling silver bracelet and pendant and these are perfect.

Joyce I like to wear the earrings with the stone in a position that appears to be backward when looking at it in the hand because when on the ear it was possible to see the design from a front view and was flattering to my face.The design of the earrings are too bold and outstanding to be worn with the 'Dove of Love' necklace and the lapis lazuli stone on the necklace is very dark compared the color of lapis lazuli on the necklace. No need to wear a necklace because these beautifully designed earrings can standout on their own.

Midge I had a major birthday during a pandemic so I decided to celebrate with a tattoo done by my nephew. It is a hummingbird and these lovely earrings make a perfect companion to it. I love those birds and I especially love this version of them done by a talented artist. They are larger than I expected and appear to be kissing my cheeks when I wear them!
