Hagit Reem - Israeli craftsmenship
Jewelry designer Hagit Reem, 8th generation in Israel, has her roots in some of our oldest cities – Jerusalem, Tiberius and Hebron. Hagit, a long time admirer of Israeli architecture, draws her inspiration from the ancient buildings in Israel, the archaeological findings and the history of this land. Hagit’s spectacular jewels are made of gold, diamonds (including natural colorful diamonds), wood and other materials and they show meticulous craftsmanship. Those are usually large jewels that stand out and I think some can sure be called sculptures.
Hagit’s appeal to Israel’s building materials and the designs of the gates, entries and tools can be easily seen in her designs – like in this “Jerusalem stones” ring made of ebony wood, gold and diamonds and was especially designed by Hagit for the Pope’s visit to Israel in 2000. This unique ring actually looks like a pavement in one of the old city’s ancient alleys!
Hagit had also designed a special jewelry collection for Miss Canada in the world beauty pageant held in Warsaw in 2006. You can see here these beautiful, frozen branches like, earrings from this collection.
In the past, Hagit created vitrages as well (the effect is showing in some of her designs) and today she sculptures in bronze and other metals while continuing to create jewelry, drawing the attention of galleries world wide. Soon – a first look on a unique project Hagit has taken part in, it’s worth waiting.
