Where are you from? and a little bit about youMy name is Galit Barak, I’m 23 years old, I’ve been making things ever since, I love to draw, paint, knit and make all kinds of crafts, I major in fine art in high school, and began my jewelry business 2 years ago, along with open my shop on Etsy.
Last October I started Jewelry design studies in Shenkar collage for engineering and design in Tel Aviv, I learn the basics of design and metalsmith, it’s hard work, but I enjoy it much!
I love reading, hiking, watch movies and listen to old progressive rock. Unfortunately I haven’t got any time for almost any of these as I’m so busy with school and my shop.
What items do you carry in your shop?
I create unique jewelry, most of made using crochet technique, using gold filled and sterling silver wires combined with semi precious stones and pearls.
My jewelry are lightweight and delicate, classic and modern at the same time, but the most important thing is that it will make you feel special.
How did you decide on your shop name?It’s Just my first name, and it short ans catchy..
Do you have anything new you plan on adding to your store?
I always create new pieces, recently I started to make high-end jewelry which I really love, but I will always have lots of affordable lovely items!
Now I know a bit of metalsmith I attend to add some silversmith items, mostly rings and earrings.
Do you have a blog, twitter, or facebook page?
Well, yes, I try to keep it as much update as possible, to announce on sales and new items in the shop

What is your inspiration when making a new item?I like organic shapes, and I usually take my inspiration from the material I use, it’s texture and colors. I find semi precious stones a great way to express my designs.
