Ronit is all about high-quality, reliable jewelry created with love, in Tel Aviv.
Meet jeweler Ronit Malka, who opened her business in 2018 after training to become a goldsmith. Ronit’s reputation for delicate, unique, handmade jewelry grew by word of mouth. Now, she works from her studio in Tel Aviv, where she was born and raised. Her work is “a direct line to my heart, my family, my loves, our life here, and what surrounds us. The joy and the pain stimulate my creativity,” she shared.
October 7 spoke to a deeper pain in Ronit, who lost her father in the Yom Kippur War when she was only a year old. At first, she struggled to work, but later harnessed her grief to push herself creatively.
“I'm not a Magen David person. I've never worn one. The connotation always gave me the chills. Perhaps it is because I am an IDF orphan and Independence Day is always too close to Memorial Day… On October 7, our Black Saturday, something in me changed… Among the funerals, the sadness and the pain, crying our hearts out — I thought to myself, maybe now is the time to wear a Star of David necklace.”
Ronit’s Star of David is three-dimensional, with many sides like the people of Israel. On one point sits a blue sapphire — blue like our flag, blue like the sky and the sea, “to remind us that we are stronger when we are united and the sky’s the limit.”
Ronit hopes that this Hanukkah will bring us a miracle, and the hostages will return.
