About Haven Design-
Haven design is a jewelry and 3D design studio. The studio specializes in naturally inspired ‎complex jewelry and art. Our goal is to shine a light on the disappearing beauty of the natural ‎world hidden around us, and to raise awareness to the phenomenon of species extinction ‎and loss of biodiversity.‎

About the designer-
My name is Hagit Abenheimer, I graduate from Bezalel academy of arts and design, in 2010, from the Jewelry Design department. Ever since I started ‎my career as an independent jeweler, I wanted to examine my attitude and notions ‎regarding jewelry in modern times. I decided that I want to tell a story and convey a ‎message through my works, and to send a message of sustainability and conservation of ‎ever disappearing diversity.‎
In 2009, I started a project whose purpose was to raise awareness to the phenomenon of ‎bee disappearance across the world. In this project, I have created an "evolution" of ‎jewelry. I took the wings of the honeybee and cloned them many times from one copy to ‎the other to mimic the process of genetic copying and cloning. (Common in modern day farming and ‎agriculture) During the process of replicating the wings repeatedly, the wings eventually deteriorated ‎to the point that they disappeared – much like the honeybees themselves.
This project has had a great personal impact on me. I decided I want to create more items ‎inspired by creature on the brink of existence, endangered or just struggling to cope with ‎the never-ending changes occurring to natural habitats. My challenge is to raise ‎awareness and to commemorate extinct or endangered species. My inspirations stem ‎from the complexity and beauty of the hidden natural world all around us.‎
My jewels are made from sterling silver, 14k gold plated silver, or gold (karat per order). ‎They display complex and sophisticated shapes and design.
‎My production line specializes in small and unique series of items. Each item is made with ‎attention to detail and personal care. The blending of 3D modeling and traditional ‎metalworking techniques allows me to combine the two skills to create and original ‎complex hand-made piece suited for everyone.‎
