Sara Kallus - goldsmith and designer - draws her inspiration from the cold, natural landscapes of her childhood in Sweden and the widespread desert dunes and rough texture of her surrounding in the south of Israel. Sara works mainly in silver but is also experimenting with leather, cement and rubber. The concept of simplicity and clarity gave the name "NAKI" which means "clean" in Hebrew. In 2013
Sara started working on a cooperation with the SPNI (The Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel). The collection, "Naturally Silver", handmade from 100% sterling silver, is based on elements selected and picked up from surrounding nature. Leaves have been put in a bath of electrolytic solution to deposit silver on the surface. This way you get a piece of jewelry with an actual natural and unique element, every leaf different from the other. Twigs have been selected, molded and worked in to bracelets, rings and earrings. See the collection here. SPNI is a nonprofit public organization with a mission to protect the environment, nature and historical heritage in Israel . The company works to protect spaces and public areas in Israel, to increase public involvement in major cities for the environment and better quality of life, and preserving a variety of flora and fauna in the country, and habitats that characterize the Land of Israel.
