Dear all,

I am Nadia Kahane Attia, a jeweller from Beer Sheva, Israel. I am glad to have joined this forum. I specialise in Silver and Pearls but also work with other materials.
You can check out my site at: www.nadia.co.il.
I used to work as a dentist's assistent but gave it up for art. Making jewelry is my work and my hobby.

best,
Nadia

HI Nadia!

I am new here also. I live in Southern California and I specialize in Swarovski crystal jewelry.
Welcome!
Amy

Hi Nadia![#welcome]
I'm new to the forum, too. I love working with semi-precious stones and doing various stitches in beadworking. I have never been to Israel but have longed to go for many years. My name is Deta (rhymes with fajita) and I live in Indiana where it is hot and muggy right now. I tried to go to your website but it wouldn't connect. I'll try again later - would love to see your jewelry!

Hello Nadia and welcome to the forum.

Hi Nadia,

We are actually moving to ISrael in about 13 months (next summer) and I would be very interested in talking to you about suppliers there. Thus far I have no contacts at all in either raw materials (mostly silver and gold sheet and wire) or tools. When I clled ganoskin they told me they do not even have a dealer who ships to Israel.

Oh, I guess I should say that I am a jeweler/goldsmith. My hope is to open a repair shop that will do custom work as well near Chaifa (as that looks to be where my husband will be working so we plan to live up there).

Anyhow, please be in touch!

Rachel

Hello Nadia and welcome to the forum.
Have a nice day
Jing

Thank you all for this warm welcome.
And, I have to confess, I made a mistake in the website (one dot too many)
here is the good link:
www.nadia.co.il

It is hot and dry also here in Beer Sheva. Rachel, looking forward to greeting you in Israel.
Just very recently there has been the annual jewellery exhibition in Tel Aviv (Juvella).
Haifa -actually I used to live there until last year- has certainly some potential for you.
Do you have a site on the web. It would be very interesting to see your work.
Hope to hear from you.

Beautiful Nadia...please share in show your work forum...I am sure everyone will be very impressed with your designs.
