Delftia Science Jewelry
Once upon a time I studied metal working at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem. but instead of opening a studio I found myself working on a project developing comic strip lessons for children in schools. I got drawn into education and decided to pursue a degree in psychology that one day I may even finish.
The days passed but the urge to create never left me and my disdain for mornings never declined. it was time for a change! A light bulb went off above my head-- I'm a nerdy armchair scientist and a metalworker. Why not create a line of jewelry inspired by science and nature?...
That's my friends, the story of how Delftia, my little shop, came to be.
Delftia jewelry is my attempt at expressing science through art. I strive to take the innate elegance of things and use my creativity to exemplify the grace in the natural world. However I aim to keep the science in the background so that every piece appears, first and foremost, as beautiful jewelry.
I design all of my jewelry, and to make them I use an assortment of classic and modern techniques, some of them are used in the electronic industry and are computerized modeling. However, the finishing touches of each piece are always the result of my hands. This means that each piece is slightly unique and of high quality.
Delftia acidovorans is a bacterium, that with the help of Cupriavidus metallidurans excretes gold nuggets. But don't worry! that's not where my jewelry comes from.
