World-renowned Israeli jewellery designer Ayala Bar has lifted the lid on what
inspires her to create her exquisite pieces, which have taken the shops by
storm.
Ayala Bar told the web-site jewishgiftplace.com:” Artistic inclination was in
my family. I started with mosaic-like creativity following a vivid childhood
memory of my Uncle Moeez. He used to immerse objects in fresh cement: photos, seashells,
ceramic parts, evil-eye beads.
“As a child, this was fascinating. I was in awe. As a young adult: this memory
surfaced and served as a reference. At that time, gold and silver dominated the
world of jewellery, but I wanted to break loose and expand.
“Obviously, cement
was not the direction, although I must admit that the concept of using adhesive
to form a miniature collage of assorted stones and beads on metal parts wasn't
that far from that childhood vision. Ayala Bar added.
The jewellery
produced by Ayala Bar is distinctive for its beautiful balance and use of
poignant colour, which has helped make her an international name in
accessories.
The delicate signatures of deftly crafted detail and hand-made excellence have
made the Ayala Bar collections stand out in the world of contemporary
jewellery.
So does Ayala Bar have any advice for designers who are just starting out?
“Never ever stop playing, and not to be limited with concepts. The actual
process is the way, whether it is successful or not, whether it turns up
popular or not. She says.
“If, and when the creativity does result in
accomplishment and/or critical acclaim, one should not surrender to the feeling
of comfort. Such an attitude may result in loss of creativity.” Ayala Bar
added.
