Bio

"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."

    Uniquely beautiful!
    The "Hummingbird Secrets" earrings are absolutely beautiful! If you're a nature lover, you will adore this item. The earrings are big enough to be noticed (neither too small nor too large) and very stylish. I'm wearing them now!

    Beautiful and detailed
    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!

    These little hummingbirds are wonderfully crafted.Underplayed just right so that the magic belongs to them.Something of their sturdiness is offset by something oftheir minuteness and fragility.The detail is simply right.I bought them for a friend who absolutely lovesher hummingbirds ~ and the earrings still, manymanymanywearrings later, make her smile.These are highly recommended!

    Unique & Bold
    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.

    Beautiful!
    These earrings are gorgeous, a very unique design. They are a bit heavy ( I should have paid more attention to the specifications in the description) and they are larger than I anticipated. That being said, I love these earrings. They make a very bold statement.

    Unique and beautiful earrrings
    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.

    Dewdrop earrings make a strong, bold beautiful statement. These earring are best worn without the necklace of the same design.

    Unique and Elegant
    I wanted a pair of black gemstone earrings. The citrine gemstones add to the unique design of these beautiful earrings. I choose to wear these obsidian earrings for the protection properties that this stone offers in that they help you avoid negative and harmful energies from others. I've never seen a design like this in any retail shops that I deal with. These have an Asian flair to them with the cross piece that runs along the top of the design. These earrings started me on my journey to add other pieces to match. I am very happy with the work of the artisan and would certainly make more purchases in the future from the same artisan.

    Beautiful and beautifully made!
    Taxco is such an amazing group of exceptional artists. These earrings exemplify that excellence. These make a bold, contemporary statement and frame the face beautifully. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because they are the same size as the necklace. I would have preferred that the earrings have been slightly smaller than the necklace.

    Beautiful stone
    I purchased the ring that matches this piece, and I am crazy in love with it. I am not quite as enthusiastic about this necklace though. The turquoise is an amazing milky color, and gorgeous, but this substantial stone sits at the very bottom of a very thin and narrow plate of hammered silver, and I keep wishing there was a bit more to the silver background. Still beautiful though.

    Fancy and simple at the same time!
    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!

    Out of this world!
    Call me strange if you want to...but I got these because they remind me of crop circles or constellations. They are lovely in person. Kind of rustic and futuristic all at once. The hammered metal lends an antique feel to these treasures. Obviously master crafted.

    Beautiful and unique!
    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!

    Just right and pretty
    When I receved these I thought they might be too small even though the decrption indicated their size. Once I put them on, though, I realize they are perfect size and the stones are very pretty and the silver setting is very comfortable and go with everything. Very glad I purchased them.

    These earrings are a perfect match to the pendant, but they pair well with other silver jewelry. The design is timeless -- they look great with more traditional silver jewelry as well as with modern pieces.
