About the Artist, Dina Abargil:
Dina Abargil’s sculptural jewelry integrates a rich collection of materials, a broad range of production techniques as well as alchemical and symbolic actions. Dina believes that jewelry is a means by which to experience and interpret the emotional world. Every piece is made and created as an independent element that adds a layer to the internal and emotional story inherent in the materials themselves; a kind of puzzle composed of different materials, new compositions and surprising encounters between shapes, materials, symbols, codes and connections.
