I am really happy to have my Artfire place. I live in Israel in a small town in the hills of Jerusalem. I was born in Belgium, and came here some 20 years ago.
I have always loved craftwork, drawing, nature, horses, and I was a rock and shell collector from my coming to this world!

I use a lot of gemstone beads in my jewelry. Some are natural, some are enhanced for beauty and durability.
Some trade names used in the beadworld can be confusing. 'Fire agate' is dyed and heated agate (crab fire agate); 'New jade' is serpentine, and more..
If you have a question regarding a material used in an item I will be happy to give you an answer.

About Karen Hill Tribe Silver: Thai Karen Hill Tribe silver is guaranteed over 99% pure silver. The higher purity than sterling silver makes it soft enough to be crafted by hand and hammer by Karen silversmith.

I am happy to live and work in a smoke free environment

I would like to thank everyone of you who gave me (and still do) support to make all this happen. My dream was a little shop where I could show some of my work. I am an at home staying mother with lots of kids around.
I do want every client to feel good about his purchase and will answer every question. I have a refund policy and will treat every case individually and with understanding.
Thanks for stopping by!!
