Abalone Shell Statement Clip On Earrings - Mismatched Modern Jewelry

For centuries, different cultures have associated natural gemstones with symbolic meanings.
To me, they are much more than beautiful materials.
Every natural gemstone has its own character and traditional symbolism, and many people also associate different stones with particular energies. When I create a piece, I choose and combine stones whose traditional meanings and associated energies complement one another, creating a modern amulet designed not only to be worn, but also to be felt.
Some people choose a piece because of its meaning, while others simply feel drawn to a particular stone.
I believe that sometimes the right piece is the one that speaks to you before you can explain why.

Yes. Sometimes I return to an idea or design that continues to inspire me, but I never create it in exactly the same way.
Every stone is naturally different, and every piece is made by hand, one at a time.
Nature does not create two identical stones, and my hands do not create exactly the same piece twice.

Yes. I work with natural gemstones, crystals, minerals, and pearls.
I preserve the natural shape of the stone and allow it to guide the design.
Variations in color, texture, shape, and inclusions are part of the beauty of a natural stone — and part of what makes every piece one of a kind.

To me, an amulet is not something mysterious or magical.
It is a personal object we wear as a reminder of our strength, our intentions, or what matters to us.
Every piece I create is both sculptural jewelry and a modern amulet — a connection between natural stones, the traditional meanings attributed to them, and my personal interpretation as an artist.

I create with natural gemstones, crystals, and pearls, combined with brass and highly durable polymer clay.
Brass forms the foundation of many of my designs. I sculpt by hand in polymer clay over this base and weave the stones into the composition.
Every piece is handcrafted in my Jerusalem studio.
