Aura and Dror share a life full of creating, and a love of art, found in many different forms every day. Adventurous experimentation and fine tuned craftsmanship are central to their dynamic creative relationship and their jewelry pieces. Each AuraDror jewelry piece is a collaboration between glass artist and silversmith.

Her artistic knowledge grows through years of creating glass, sculptures, and installations with many different materials, in countries such as Wales, Italy, Spain, Holland, and the United States. Each glass artwork in AuraDror's jewelry collection is a multi-layered sculptural world of custom made murrine, stringers, and metals.
