Ibn Gabirol St 71, Tel Aviv-Yafo, floor -2, row 15 (in the paring) Israel
The story of Jewelry can be traced back almost 10.000 years. In the early times man chose material to make jewelry from his natural surroundings. Bone, agate, obsidian, shell, and whatever else he can find to turn into objects to beautify his body. The jewelry man wore was cherished beyond its aesthetic value, it was attributed magical and talismanic powers. Much has changed over the last 10.000 years . Once the Romans cherished opaque stones for their intaglios instead of the translucent gemstones we set in our rings today. The Victorian Woman with her black Jet bracelet has been replaced for A classic and brilliant tennis bracelet. One thing has stayed constant: a strong passion for adorning our bodies
