Basalt - Volcanic Bijoux is an international exhibition that reunites 25 artists from Europe and Israel who have created jewelry especially for this show, utilizing basalt as the central motif.

Artist list

Vered Babai, Christian Balmer, Yakov Bloch, Brune Boyer, Esther Brinkmann, Seliena Coyle, Johanna Dahm, Clara Dedinet, Georg Dobler, Marine Dominiczak, Pia Farrugia, Sophie Hanagarth, Naama Haneman, Noga Harel, Margit Jäschke, Lia Kirel, Florence Lehmann, Taïr Delia Littman, Stefano Marchetti, Elaine Michel, Renzo Pasquale, Ramon Puig Cuyàs, Philip Sajet, Ilona Schwippel, Annamaria Zanella

Taking into consideration the unique properties of this igneous rock - its natural structure, color and texture - the artists have created pieces that provoke questions about preciousness, esthetics, mythology and beliefs.
The exhibition was originally shown in Agde, France (a city built from basalt) in 2015 and was re-curated for the Geological Museum in Ramat HaSharon.
