Values and Choices

Hi there, It's election day here in Israel. None of the parties are an exact fit to my world view, so I had to make choices. I had to check my values, and consider each of them against the values of the possible parties from which I had to choose. It was about choosing the most important values.

Minimalism and Minimal Jewelry

Intuitively I knew what that meant, but it felt like I needed to further understand it in order to be able to fully stand behind the rather big announcement (for me at least) that BAARA Jewelry offers minimal jewelry designs.

Jewelry Story - The Long Orbit Concrete Necklace

This is a very meaningful necklace for me. I thought I would share with you how this piece came to life. In this photo: the orbit concrete necklace in gold. Photo credit: Baara Guggenheim I designed this minimal necklace when my sister finally got pregnant. She tried to get pregnant for a long time, so it was a big moment.

It grounded me and made me...
