In Israel East meets West. Their jewellery traditions blend,
resulting in creative innovations. In the 1930s, European
immigrants introduced the spirit of the Bauhaus, while oriental
craftsmanship was invigorated in the 1950s and 1960s 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. There are important links between
native jewellery makers and European and American jewellery
artists, who were guest lecturers at the Bezalel Academy of Art and
Design in the 1970s and had a lasting influence on Israeli artists.
The transition to art jewellery was finally completed in the 1980s,
paving the way for artists who are now internationally renowned. A
further chapter is dedicated to contemporary works by some
outstanding young artists. Although their works are part of the
global jewellery scene, they are also dedicated to their homeland,
for example through unequivocal references to local political
tensions. Artists (a selection): Bianca Eshel Gershuni, Esther
Knobel, Deganit Stern Schocken, Vered Kaminski, Attai Chen.
