I’m happy to start today a new theme in my blog with tips and suggestions on how to match jewelry to our body built, the cloths we wear, the event we go to and more. This is a start of a wonderful (I hope) cooperation with Aliza Hershkovitz, a personal and business image consultant (and also the mother of Risi Bne Tora, a jewelry designer and blog beloved).
We will start today with some tips on how to choose the jewelry best suited to our body built and here are Aliza’s advices:
- The jewelry we wear attracts the beholders attraction to where it sits and so it’s very important to choose jewelry that will emphasize beautiful parts of our body.
- Women with a large bosom, who do not wish to emphasis it, should choose a necklace with a pendant that sits at 2 fingers below the base of the neck.
- Women with a short neck should wear long earrings that will create an illusion of a longer neck. If the earring is highly noticeable it is best not to wear a necklace with them.
- If we wish to maintain a solid look we should choose 2 pieces of jewelry of the same shade of color/ collection who will compliment each other.

Aliza wishes you all “to always be pretty and look your best” and you can approach her for more advice on the topic at:

A unique project is on its way at the Bituy College of Art & design in Hertzeliya – a new shop, named “TALENTO”, displaying young designers is being built on the college’s compound these days. The intent of this project, well implied in the name chosen, is to provide the jump start for new and talented designers, beginning their commercial career. The shop will display fashion designers, industrial designers and of course – jewelry designers.
“Bituy” college offers a variety of courses in the fields of art and design, many of which are recognized by the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor. Among the courses you can find a computer graphics and web design course, fashion design, interior decorating and more. The college also offers many preparatory schools, training students who wish to apply to Israel’s known art and design schools such as Betzalel academy or Shenkar: architecture, jewelry design, industrial design, fashion and textile design and art.
A number of young designers have already joined the project and all those interested are welcome to write to Evyatar Stern at: :   perachavy@perach.org.il or call 054-7882043.

“Bituy” College

In the mean time, here’s a sneak-peak at the store being built as we speak….

A new and exciting jewelry exhibition will open at the Ramat Aviv mall next week. “Crafting the wonders of the world” will showcase jewelry designed by graduates from the Yael Shkedi workshop inspired by the buildings that were recently nominated as” the new seven wonders of the world”.
I’m honored to be able to give you the first peek at the some of the marvelous designs that will be displayed, among them this fascinating ring, designed by Miryam Aviv, inspired by the El Hambra palace in Spain. The simplicity side by side with the complex engravings captured my heart and took me back to trips in Spain and to this very palace, where I visited several years ago.

I haven’t had the chance to visit the Roman Colosseum yet, but there is no doubt that this ring, designed by Chani Kol Frid, both conveys the spirit of this known structure and testifies to her skills as gifted goldsmith. I really loved the layers Chani created and the fact that the ring is not close - much like the Colosseum itself, where only part of the outer wall survived.

Another ring, and the last piece I’m going to expose here (Go to the exhibition!), will probably remain on display – this impressive ring , rich with engravings and small details was designed by Michal Nayim, inspired by India’s Taj Mahal.

The exhibition will be open from October 9th until October 29th and you are all welcome to call Yael Shkedi’s workshop for more details at: 09-7461715.
