The geometries by Cadar: here is the Maison who won the Couture Design ♦ ︎

In 2016, Fashion Group International had named Cadar as the Rising Star of jewelery. And in 2017, the New York brand won the Couture Design Awards as Best in Gold at its second appearance in Las Vegas and in 2018 it was the turn of the Gold Design of the Year at the Town & Country Magazine Jewelry Awards. Where will goes the maison created by Michal Kadar, former fashion designer in Tel Aviv and art scholar, come? The designer’s second life in the Big Apple seems a triumphal march. But creating objects in three dimensions is not new to her. Her father was a sculptor and Michal picked up shells for him, that he then used for his works.

But her cultural background also includes the simplicity of Japanese tradition, the mystery of the North African desert and the Florentine Renaissance: not by chance a part of the processing of her jewels is made in Italy. Unlike other designers, the Cadar’s founder chose a rigorous and precise style: gold, with some small contour diamonds. But the geometry and the volumes of jewels are the ones that distinguish the style of the little Maison. Simple but very effective shapes, combined with the ability to create easily wearable jewels.

The icons of ancient Egypt and ancient Babylon revive in the jewels of the designer Gil Zohar ♦ ︎

The Bible tells of how in ancient times the Jews fled from Egypt, chased by Pharaoh’s army and led by Moses. But pyramids and sphinxes do not arouse distrust in Gil Zohar, a designer from Tel Aviv who took the style of the ancient Egyptian civilization together with the Babylonian one for his jewels. Her story about her is unusual: she has a degree in Business Administration and History of Art, Criticism and Conservation. You worked as a journalist and stylist in the capital of Israel. But she was dissatisfied. In 2016, while she was making a jewel for herself for fun, the designer became aware of her passion for ancient Egypt and ancient Mesopotamian civilizations.

She added the two passions: the goldsmith’s art and the world of the pharaohs. The result is the small Maison that has her name and that, of course, produces jewels with icons that appear on hieroglyphics, such as sphinxes, bulls and deer. The jewels, undoubtedly original, are in 24-carat gold plated silver and with 4 microns of the thickness (more than most of the platings). Prices start at around one thousand dollars to go up to 3,000. If you too love the world of ancient Egypt, moreover, Gil Zohar also offers statues of about 50 centimeters on the same theme, but in plated bronze. Just like those deprecated by Moses.

Boaz Kashi, Boho Chic

The Israeli jewelry designer Boaz Kashi and his Boho Chic collections: irreverence, but luxury ♦

If, by accident, you do not know what Boho Chic means or you’ve forgotten, you can look at the jewelry of Boaz Kashi, a designer who works in Tel Aviv. He defines his Boho Chic collections, basically means a style in which various elements of bohemian and hippy culture come together, in particular, in his jewelery. A definition, which we admit, is not common in jewelery, where designers tend to emphasize the precious aspect rather than the playful side of their production.

But, we must say it, the definition of Boaz Kashi is apt, with oxidized gold and silver, stones that seem to (just seem to be) put in a somewhat casual way. In short, a studied art of improvisation, which actually hides a careful choice. And it can not be that way, since the designer is by no means improvised. Indeed, it is part of a jeweler family that has been active since 1889. In short, that much irreverent is a sharpy choice, not a compulsory road.

The necklace is a map

Storytelling Jewelery proposes jewels that represent city or neighborhood maps. Also the one chosen by you ♦

Idea: a necklace or a ring for not getting lost in the city. As the necklace that also becomes a map, with the streets forming a grid. The idea of an Israeli designer Talia Sari Wiener. His Storytelling Jewelery, founded in 2011, offers pendants which are maps of Rome, Barcelona, Jerusalem, New York, Paris, San Francisco, Tel Aviv and Tokyo. These maps, rather decorative and striking are silver or brass-plated 24-karat gold. Sure, if you look for the address of a restaurant or a hotel you can not find it on this jewels, but the idea is somewhat reminiscent of Alviero Martini maps on bags. If you consider the necklace a little too cumbersome, here is the rings, with the same maps, but on a smaller scale.

But the real novelty is the possibility of choosing a map of your choice, even that of the neighborhood where you live, or of a place you are particularly fond of. Through the Storytelling Jewelery website you can choose your favorite city and area online and immediately see the map transformed into a jewel.
