Yemenite Silver Pomegranate Earrings With Garnet Stone

In all cultures, the highly sought after pomegranate is the symbol of abundance and good luck. Ben Zion David has created earrings filled with filigree patterns faithful to the unique and natural asymmetric sides of the fruit, with a garnet stone set above the pomegranate to reflect the fruit’s deep red color.

All of Ben-Zion’s jewelry is handmade from sterling silver. The artist prepares the silver threads himself, interweaving them to the left and to the right in order to achieve that special and unique braided effect. Ben-Zion explains: “My filigree jewelry is made using a very old technique that is disappearing from our world. Creating a masterpiece requires attention to fine details, great imagination and of course, patience.”
