My name is Irith Rita Mashiah.I design and create handmade jewelry from silver gold and stones. I am a mom and a grandmother. I have always loved to be creative. I used to embroider table cloths, sew my own clothes, knit ,crochet and paint . I did this in the evenings, while working in the mornings as a legal secretary.
Shortly before I retired I decided I would be a metalsmith. I have joined evening classes and then searched for the best silver and goldsmith tutors in my area, who taught me various metalwork techniques. I still love to join metalsmith classes every once in a while, as there is always something new to learn.

Hello Everyone,

I am a gold and silver smith and In my shop you will find unique handmade jewelry designs . My workshop is located in a small paradise not very far away from the Mediterranean. Across my working table there is a glass door through which I can see the lawn with trees and sculptures. There are peacocks and geese walking about on that lawn and every once in a while they peep at me curiously through that glass door. They are NOT allowed in though!
Of course,human beings peep too, and THEY are MOST welcome!

I handcraft artisan jewelry after ideas I create in my mind. I also design custom handcrafted jewelry. I like my jewelry to look three-dimensional or sculptured. I also like to combine my jewelry with semi-precious stones, ancient glass and beach glass, pebbles from the Sea of Galilee, etc.,

What I mainly keep in mind is that jewelry should give women a feeling that they look beautiful and special. Sometimes just a row of pearls can do the job, but on other occasions my jewelry adds a desirable effect.
