Discover Our Unique Paper-to-Gold Craftsmanship
At Kami-Jewelry, our journey through jewelry design is not just about creating stunning pieces; it's also about pushing the boundaries of creativity. Sara Agami, our founder and lead designer, embarked on an exciting adventure during her time at the Bezalel Academy of Arts in Jerusalem. It was here that she discovered her passion for working with paper as a base material, leading to the development of an original and innovative design technique.
Paper: The Unexpected Hero
Sara's fascination with paper as a raw material for crafting miniature models, which were then cast in gold, was a turning point in her creative journey. This unconventional choice breathed life into her designs, offering a unique interplay between the paper's distinct qualities and the elegance of gold. The results were nothing short of mesmerizing, with each gold cast boasting a fascinating variation, thanks to the paper's contribution.
From Vision to Reality
Sara honed her paper-based technique while working as a designer for prestigious jewelry brands in an era before digital and 3D models dominated the industry. This method allowed her to bring her ideas to life with remarkable precision through accurate paper models. The artistry and craftsmanship poured into these creations made them more than just models; they were intricate works of art.
Paper Meets Gold Today

Crafting Artistry Beyond Jewelry
Beyond the realm of jewelry, Sara also harnessed her paper-to-gold technique to create unique jewelry boxes that offer a captivating revelation of each jewel's design and character. Each box is a work of art in itself, designed to enhance the experience of unveiling a piece of jewelry and showcasing its true essence. While we do not currently offer these unique boxes on our site, we are open to special orders, allowing you to create a truly one-of-a-kind experience for your cherished pieces. At Kami-Jewelry, we believe that the magic lies not only in the jewelry itself but also in the story and presentation that surrounds it.
A Glimpse into the Past and Future
While we may have moved forward in many aspects of jewelry design, we still hold this technique dear to our hearts. At Kami-Jewelry, we continue to offer the option of creating custom pieces using this unique and time-honored method, fulfilling the wishes of those who appreciate the artistry and authenticity behind every creation.
