YELLOW PAGES JEWLARY

YELLOW PAGES JEWLARY

Why do people need jewelry made out of gold?, Does jewelry have to be expensive?

This question was raised while I was sitting in a jeweller’s studio watching him explain to a customer
how a piece of gold jewellery in the shape of a fish would move on a necklace.
The customer’s response was all he cared about was that the gold piece would be large
and heavy.
In answering this question, I first need to explain that in Israel, yellow pages are called
golden pages. I decided to take Israel’s golden pages and turn them into pieces of jewelry.

These pieces were entered into an exhibit called” Chain Reaction” at the Eretz Israel Museum in Tel Aviv in 2002Asked for the value of the pieces by the exhibit insurer, I wrote 15 shekels. Later I found
out, the sum was changed to 1,500. The curator explained that there was no insurance for
art pieces valued at 15 shekels
