About
Jewelry
Founded by Shiri Hershkovitz Bartur, Illuminature Jewelry brings together over 15 years of experience in jewelry design and goldsmithing. Each piece is a personal reflection of my passion for asymmetrical, nature-inspired designs. From the beginning, I’ve been captivated by the beauty of organic forms and the energy they hold, crafting handmade pieces that mimic nature’s imperfect elegance.
As an interdisciplinary artist, I’m constantly exploring advanced techniques such as 3D printing, electroplating, casting with organic materials, and even embedding light into my creations. For me, jewelry is more than just an adornment—it’s a medium through which I experiment, innovate, and push boundaries in wearable art. I am always on the lookout for the next wave of tangible innovation that can be expressed through my work.
Part of a Larger Vision
Illuminature Jewelry is one of the branches of Illuminature Ventures B.V., based in the Netherlands. While my focus at Illuminature Jewelry is on creating bespoke, nature-inspired jewelry, this is part of a broader vision. One of Illuminature Ventures’s key goals is to promote knowledge and best practices in facilitating mycelium and other biomaterials as materials of the future, with a focus on sustainability and the circular economy agenda. Through my jewelry, I aim to merge traditional craftsmanship with these innovative materials, creating pieces that connect deeply with the wearer and the natural world.
The Alchemy of Energy in Wearable Art
At Illuminature Jewelry, my vision is to craft pieces that are not only beautiful but also infused with uplifting energy—energy that the wearer can feel and facilitate in their daily lives. Each creation is designed with intention, bridging traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge techniques to create jewelry that resonates on a deeper level. My goal is to offer more than just a visual experience, but a meaningful connection between the soul wearing it and the subtle forces that influence us all.
In the gallery, you’ll see moments from my studio, where every piece is brought to life through a blend of skilled hands and modern innovation. I invite you to explore this collection and discover the quiet power embedded in each creation.
Thank you for being a part of this journey.
