My artistry journey began when I was 12 years old. I had a voice teacher who discovered my music talent and decided to invest in my musical skills. So, I started very early being a singer in "The Bells" band, and later as an independent singer. I was also a singer in a quartet in the Israeli Air Force .

In my early twenties I decided that I wanted a more normal life, so I studied textile engineering and textile design in Shenkar College of engineering and design.

Later on in my life I owned a company that imported and distributed kitchen appliances and accessories.

I worked in the diamond exchange for 13 years, and in the last 10 years I was the system (IT) manager of a high-tech software company.

So as you can see, I really went to the other side. But a few months ago I've decided that it's now or never-- I need to do something with my soul-- and I began studying jewelry making at "Inbar Studio." And I fell in love.

My jewelry is all created by hand. Most of them are one of a kind pieces. I work with precious metals, especially gold and silver, and precious/semi-precious stones.

I usually don't plan what I'm going to make - I just feel it and go with my emotion. I love the stones and the metal - I feel they are a part of me, and my hands are doing the rest.
