Shirley Lev – Judaica & Design is a boutique studio managed by the talented Shirley Lev, A graduate of the “Bezalel” Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem, she also studied Jewish Philosophy at the Tel-Aviv University. Inspired by both spiritual elements and contemporary concepts, Shirley Lev combines high-tech techniques with traditional silversmithing.Lev designs and manufactures her creations by means of a unique combination of digital media and traditional silversmith’s techniques.

Until recently these items where only available on selected shops as the Israel National Museum shop, The Tel-Aviv Museum shop and a few high-end e-commerce site like uncommongoods.com, as of april 2011 Shirley Lev is launching her new website which will function as an online catalog for her latest work and a boutique Judaica shop.

“I photograph the images that will appear on the designed object, process the imagery and use photochemical etching to imprint the images on the metal.”
This technique enables the designer to achieve very high levels of accuracy on miniature, intricate designs. These can then be rendered on very thin metal surfaces creating a texture similar to lace. The result is both contemporary and exclusive in appearance.
Beneath the metal design, Lev integrates colored surfaces that emphasize the texture and lend a vivid quality to the ornaments. The end result has a delicate colorfulness, elegance and warmth.
