A Garden of Stones and Dreams — The Art of Inga Konforti

During Milan Jewelry Week, I had the honor of meeting an extraordinary artist — Inga Konforti, the heart and hands behind Konforti Jewelry.

At just 28 years old, Inga has already spent a decade mastering the art of fine jewelry design and fabrication, blending intricate craftsmanship with the poetry of nature.

Born to Ukrainian immigrant parents and now based in Israel, Inga grew up surrounded by creativity and resilience. Her mother — a dedicated craftswoman — and the celebrated artist Yuri Bogoslavsky became her mentors, shaping her path in goldsmithing, enamel painting, and gemstone carving. Today, she and her husband Barak continue this legacy together, crafting miniature universes in metal, enamel, and stone.

🌿 The Stone Garden Collection

Her breathtaking “Stone Garden Collection” is an homage to the magnificence of nature — where seasons, colors, and creatures come alive in sculptural form. Each creation is entirely handmade, merging techniques such as hot enamel painting, gem carving, wood carving, and intricate gemstone setting.

Inga believes that “art is a universal language that can unite us all.” Her jewelry is a reflection of this philosophy — a conversation between the natural world and human imagination.

✨ Featured Creations

1. The “Summer Pond” Ring

Handcrafted from 18k yellow gold and crowned with a 64K carved aquamarine, this masterpiece portrays a graceful frog leaping into rippling water, surrounded by enamel-painted flora and 11 shades of sapphires.

A poetic reminder of stillness, movement, and joy — all in one moment of nature’s song.

2. The “Autumn Ring”

With its warm citrine madeira center and subtle yellow sapphires, this ring captures the soul of the season — that golden pause between change and stillness. Each brush of enamel evokes the delicate beauty of falling leaves, whispering the quiet stories of time.

3. The “Celestial Flight” Ring

Two blue enamel swallows orbit a hand-carved 33 ct purple moonstone — like planets around a galaxy of dreams. Crafted in 960 silver with accents of 24k gold plating, it unites earthly craftsmanship with cosmic wonder.

4. The “Kelp Dancer” Ring

A sculptural marvel featuring a 100 ct yellow lepidolite frog with opal eyes resting among enamel-painted kelp. The ring evokes the rhythm of the ocean — a celebration of color, life, and the playful dance of nature.
