“Each piece of wearable art I create is a symbol of splendor and romance that resonates with nature’s harmony and beauty.”
About the designerRuta creates limited edition pieces, each handmade to order in her studios in Brooklyn and Tel Aviv. While employing precise and meticulous technique, Ruta builds subtle intricacies, each hand-carved in wax, cast in 14k gold, then individually set and polished. The result is a wonderfully unique, contemporary look with a fluid, romantic silhouette and feel.
Growing up by the Mediterranean, Ruta’s work takes inspiration from the flowing lines, endless shapes and colors of underwater forms. Her signature coral-like textures are accented by opulent uses of colorful natural precious and semi-precious gemstones. Motifs from late 1800’s, early 1900’s art are also an enduring muse to her body of work.
Ruta’s pieces are meant to be worn and enjoyed often. Comfort and wearability are prioritized in every design. Ultimately, Ruta strives to create heirloom-quality pieces adored by the wearer and future generations to come.
