Ayala Naphtali

My work is an exploration of form and materials, each equally important. I feel firmly rooted in the historical tradition of my craft.

I am committed to the use of materials, for their color texture and versatility. Often the material is the inspiration for the piece of jewelry being designed. Coconut shell, dyed and carved, is used to achieve rich color and texture. Forging, fabricating and casting are used to create pieces with dimension and volume.
