Commission a piece that has never existed

I design and make each piece myself, in my Jerusalem studio. From first conversation to finished gold, you work directly with me.

The process

How a commission is made

Sketch, rough diamonds and chains laid out during a first conversation

We talk

I ask what the piece is for and who will wear it. Then I propose a design direction, and we settle on it together.

You see it before it exists

For most pieces I prepare a 3D rendering. For work that needs wax modelling, I send physical samples instead.

Sizing and refining a wax model on a mandrel

We refine

You review, we adjust. Nothing moves forward until it is right.

I make it in gold

Cast, set and finished by hand. You are updated at every stage, so nothing arrives as a surprise.

Timing and range

Production takes a minimum of 14 working days once each stage is approved.
Pieces already in the collection ship within 48 hours.

All three insured and tracked worldwide.

Pomegranate

One commission, start to finish

A client came to me with a simple request: recreate an earring he had seen, engraved with the Shema.

I suggested we make something for her instead. I asked what she loved. Pomegranates, he said.

The piece became a three-dimensional pomegranate that turns on its axis. A 0.70 carat ruby sits at its base — the colour of the seeds. The full verse is engraved around the fruit, and at the end of the line, where the words close, I set her birthstone.

He had asked me to copy something. He left with something that had never existed.

Working directly with the maker

You speak to the person holding the tools.

Every stone is chosen for your piece, not pulled from a tray.

No piece is ever repeated.

Commissions stay between us. I don't publish names.

From the other side of the world

Three pieces, one client

Mary found my work through Etsy. She told me later that she wasn't sure whether to trust it — a jeweller she had never met, in a country she had never visited, asking for a great deal of money.

She bought the ring anyway. Two weeks later she came back for the Heaven brooch. Then she asked me to design a pair of earrings for her.

We have still never met in person.
