it's like Xmas/Hannukah come early- Israeli jewelers Orly and Nitza

I love these designers! I love goldsmithing, and shiny things, and jewelry, and art, and these two talented jewelers are doing everything at once. And, for better or for worse, I live right next to their boutique in Basel Square. This could be dangerous...

Both these designers bring their backgrounds to their aesthetic approach. Orly was raised in Africa, where she fell in love with the locally-crafted, brightly hued beads. Now she fashions her own pieces after this style, with intense colors and often traditional materials. Nitza, a graduate of the New York Fashion Institute of Technology, has worked for over 12 years in design and brings her background of goldsmithing with precious metals and stones to the table.


Look how pretty!



They also make them in silver and black leather, which I heart only slightly less as they do not satisfy my magpie-like desire for all things golden.




Hannukah is coming up around the river bend, and its almost time for gift shopping (I always find this a great excuse for any impluse buys up to three months prior to the holiday season). So go ahead and milk it!
