We are a team of three friends, sharing all the joys of designing, creating (from a goldsmith family working for the Royal Nepali family and the King himself for 7 generations) and interneting. Our journeys brought us to a jungle island, where we spent many happy years, doing what we love in a place we love !. Enjoy our “jungle life” on our website: www.artsworkshop.biz/jungle-life/ . Now our daughter is approaching schoolage so we are continuing our Art and life in Berlin & Israel. ♪♫
We are happy to share our art with you all around the world.

WORKMANSHIP ~ HANDMADE
Skills, techniques and little secrets that have been handed down for seven generations are visible in the high quality of our workmanship. They are a vanishing art that we are happy and proud to carry into the future. ♪♫
We make each piece, one at a time, with our hands and traditional hand tools only. Melting, mixing, hammering, making sheets, cutting, filing, soldering, engraving, carving and stonesetting. The final polishing is by electric brush. Nothing is molded, cast, or made by anyone else.
Handmade jewelry does not look machine made, and since we work freehand, no two pieces will ever be identical. You can zoom in to all our photos to see the exact handwork details that make up each piece.

MATERIALS
Sterling silver and karat gold are alloys (mixtures of two or more metals). We melt and mix our precious metal alloys the traditional way, as done since the beginning of time.
♦ Sterling silver ~ also known as 925 silver: 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% pure copper.
♦ Gold ~ we mostly work with 18k gold: 75% pure gold and a 25% mix of pure copper and pure silver depending on desired color; but enjoy working with any karat of gold.
♦ We do not add any other metals (like nickel - the main culprit in metal allergy, germanium or palladium), and our pieces are not rhodium coated or treated in any other way.

Gemstones ~ from all around the world ~ natural high quality and unusual precious gems, museum quality fossils, and other interesting materials such as meteorites.
Our love for travelling allows us access to rare and unusual gemstones from around the world that usually do not find their way to the mass markets. Everywhere we go I am drawn to stones, and I just love being completely absorbed and lost in the magical world of stones, and spend hours and days hand selecting each stone individually.
