Precious metal & precious stones: artworks & design

In Israel East meets West. Their jewellery traditions blend, resulting in creative innovations. In the 1930s, immigrants from Germany and other European countries introduced the spirit of the Bauhaus, while oriental craftsmanship was invigorated in the 1950s and '60s by immigration from Islamic countries. State jewellery companies preserved traditional crafts, while at the same time developing a new and elegant style, designed to express the national identity of the still young state of Israel.

Reviews for Jewellery in Israel: Multicultural Diversity 1948 to the Present

For Iris Fishof, a piece of jewelry is 'not merely an ornament' but it can be a reflection of societal history. Her extensive, beautifully illustrated history, Jewellery in Israel: Multicultural Diversity 1948 to the Present is the first book of its kind.--Sandee Brawarsky, The Jewish Week The Jewish Week, April 1, 2014
