Alon (Shetzy) Shafir is an excellent gemologist, an educator,
a fine artist and an outstanding and original jewelry designer.
Over the last decade, Alon has been traveling extensively around the world,
handling many gems in their sources and absorbing the uniqueness of the
local cultures and designs in jewelry and artifacts.
This has influenced Alon’s designs creating a line of jewelry with an unsurpassed
beauty combining both the old traditions of jewelry design with a streak of modernism,
which is unfound elsewhere.
Alon excels in combining crystal forms of gems in jewelry designs reminiscent of ornaments
worn thousands of years ago, while his ethnic and modern style designs combine various cuts
of gems in gold and silver, having a startling effect on both user and admirer.
There is nothing like Alon’s art in jewelry.
Each item is handcrafted and each gem is meticulously sorted to complement
its setting and the design. No two pieces of his jewelry are the same resulting
in the wearers proclaiming their uniqueness and setting them apart from others.
Though growing in volume and approaching trade recognition,
Alon has kept his novelty and ingenuity in his designs, and it seems that
the fountain of his creations is unending.
