Judaica crafted in silver

Judaica crafted in silver Danny Gocs Artist Yossi Jablonski has travelled the world studying the latest trends in silver jewellery and hand made Judaica. The Israeli-born craftsman works from his studio at home in Emerald in the Dandenongs, but many examples of his handiwork can be seen in the exclusive jewellery shops and gallerires of Toorak and South Yarra. Yossi says his most popular items are candlesticks and mezzuzot, of which he has more than 10 different varieties. "At one time all the handmade Judaica available in Melbourne was imported from Isreal, but now there is a local range," he said. Yossi came to Australia six years ago, but has been travelling and studying overseas for much of the time. "On a trip to Nepal I met the king's jewellery and spent three months studying and working with him in silver and gold." "Then I returned to Isreal to study metallurgy and jewellery before returning to Asia to work with an Indian jeweller." Yossi said he also went to Japan to learn their techniques and returned to Isreal to concentrate on Judaica. "I have learned many different techniques which enables me to mix modern and traditional designs."he said. Yossi is married to a doctor,Illana,and they live on a five-acre block at Emerald. Yossi says people are welcome to visit his studio and see how he creates his Judaica, but they should call first on (059)68-6415. In October Yossi visited Isreal to see the latest designers on the market for Judaica. "In Australia most people still like the traditional designs; in Isreal the modern designs are more popular." Yossi said that most traditionally designed candlesticks and mezzuzot were mass produced in factories in Isreal, whereas his products are all handmade. "People have to regard handmade Judaica as works of art and they have to learn about investing in silver candlesticks as art."
