As Designer

One day I discovered the amazing beauty of semiprecious stones, and when I studied their history, I discovered the amazing stories behind such beauty. I was hooked! I taught myself about ornament and its social role in history, I taught myself about beading and semiprecious stones. 
I took beading courses in Canada and silver smithing in the UK. My jewelry attracted the interested of many Arabic & English language publications, both locally and within the Middle Eastern region.

I held several exhibitions:
Fashion Week, Al Bustan Hotel, Dubai, U.A.E
Unique Art Gallery, joint exhibition, Dubai, UAE
Kensington Exhibition Hall, London, UK
Ascot Exhibition, Ascot, U.K 
Four Seasons Hotel, Toronto, Canada 
The Canadian Craft Gallery, Toronto, Canada
The North York Central Library, Toronto, Canada
The Crafter’s Marketplace, Burlington, Canada
Darel Ons, Alicante, Spain

My specialty is original chokers. 
My concept: to paint with beads. Using semi-precious stones, Venetian style hand painted glass beads, beautiful lamp beads, faceted crystals, and other beads specially designed for me, I create one-of-a-kind or limited edition jewelry pieces.
After spending considerable time studying beads and their fascinating history, I discovered that the glass beads have a background no less auspicious than that of diamonds, pearls, and semi-precious stones. Each bead is a miniature container holding the secrets of the culture that made it, traded it, and wore it. Drawing inspiration from this fascinating discovery, and from many other pleasures in life; magical childhood experiences created by my mother, the tapestry of colors in my father’s tenderly cared for garden, the marvelous hues of blue and green of the sea in Spain, exotic cultures, dreams and fantasy, I design individual chokers that each have a name, a character, and a story…
