Salomé Maarek, a visionary designer born in Paris, is a graduate of both the École Duperré and the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. Inheriting a legacy of craftsmanship from her grandfather, she has developed a groundbreaking technique that fuses raw minerals sourced from the land of Israel directly into her jewelry.
Through her travels across Israel, Salomé carefully selects rare and meaningful stones, which she transforms—through her unique expertise—into powerful, poetic pieces. Each creation captures the essence of the land itself, turning natural matter into wearable art.
Her work has been showcased at leading design fairs and weeks in Milan, London, Berlin, and Tokyo, where it has drawn widespread admiration. In January 2024, Salomé launched her own brand, inviting others to wear a living piece of Israel’s earth and join her on a journey rooted in nature, heritage, and innovation.
The innovative material behind Salomé Maarek’s creations was developed in collaboration with the Jerusalem Institute of Geology, led by Navot Morag. This unique substance, based on raw minerals extracted from the land of Israel, has attracted significant media attention, featuring prominently on television networks and in prestigious design magazines from the USA to India.
An audacious artist, Salomé Maarek presents her work at the most renowned design fairs across Europe and Asia. Constantly driven by a quest for innovation and originality, she chose January 2024 to launch her own brand.
Meticulously sourcing stones from diverse regions of Israel, Salomé crafts a distinctive color palette for each collection. Every jewel is an exceptional piece, created with passion and expert craftsmanship.
Through her designs, each piece becomes a symbol of luxury and refinement, inviting wearers to escape into a world of dreams. Discover the magic of Salomé Maarek and be captivated by the timeless elegance of her jewelry—a true tribute to the natural beauty of Israel.
