It's me. Leah Gerber - jewelry designer, internet shop manager, blogger
Since I was a little girl I wished to study
the fine arts. While grew up , I attended sculpture classes, art school, painting classes.
In Israel
I took a few jewelry-making courses in college, studied at the internationally renowned Jeweler Carol Zarate studio. I learned
how to work with wax and with metal, learned to make things from scratch.
In
2008 and 2009 my jewels were exhibited at the Jewelry Olympus show in
St.-Petersburg.
Also
in 2008 I took part in a competition organized by a Jewelry Artist Journal published in Malvern and came in 2nd
in the 2008 Awards.
While I'm
working on a specific project, it is very important for me to be totally
enthralled with the item that I'm creating. Sometimes, when I say “That’s it! That’s what I wanted!” (
and many designs never do reach that stage, and are discarded), I feel that the
joy I felt in the creative process will pass to the person who ultimately wears
jewelry I designed and it will bring her
happiness.
