Bio:
Ayala Naphtali co-founder of Adornaxis is a NYC based metalsmith / jewelry maker with a studio in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
She began making jewelry as an early teen in NYC. She studied Gold and Silversmithing at FIT and SUNY NEW PALTZ where she received her BFA. Ayala was recently awarded as a 2021 Honoree by NYCxDesign.
Artist Statement:
Ayala Naphtali draws inspiration from ancient alphanumeric systems, contemporary architecture, and her own personal, cultural history. She is intrigued with balance and proportion and feels that each of her pieces must find its axis on the wearer. She creates work with elegance and minimal, bold forms.
The choice of a particular material is often the motivation for the artist to design a specific piece. Its texture, color, and versatility influence the end result. Some materials are hand-dyed or carved. Other techniques she utilizes include forging, fabricating, and casting. Different combinations of techniques allow her to make jewelry pieces with dimension and volume, but without excessive weight.
