As an apprentice to jewelry makers in Israel and Denmark, Avi developed a decidedly international perspective on design - and life. Throughout his career, he has used and shared his talents to help others, mentoring new artisans as well as employing people with disabilities in his workshop. An avid supporter of human rights causes, he participates in empowerment programs for Arab women in Israel, and volunteers at a refugee center for African women in Tel Aviv, bringing the same passion to helping his community as he does to jewelry design.
I got the gemstone tears necklace and it is gorgeous! the lapis is very pretty, the opal which looks like a fire opal is stunning and fiery. The Moonstone bead on the bottom is really outstanding. Avi clearly works very hard on his jewelry and I'm happy to own one of his pieces. I did get it at 50% off which was the only way I could afford to get it. the chain was quite short making it almost into a choker on me. I just put it on another chain and I have gotten compliments while wearing it. I would highly recommend getting this piece for yourself. All these work is extremely unique, simple but elegant. I am hoping to get some of this other pieces in the future if there is another 50% sale!
