Galia Lahav: First things first—tell us how you came to work with the Galia Lahav house of fashion.
Keren Wolf: My collaboration with Galia Lahav started many years back, when Galia designed the evening gowns for Miss Israel Beauty Pageant and asked me to design crowns that would suit the gowns in the most perfect way. It was a big thing back then and generated big buzz, since it was actually the first time that the crowns were custom-designed for the beauty pageant. They were very unique and different from what was typical back then.

GL: Can you talk a little about what the collaboration process like?

KW: At first Galia and I discuss the concept of the collection and think together about what should work best and what pieces would suit her designs. When I custom-design for Galia Lahav, I always use motifs that are in the collection and add them to the pieces, even if just as a little twist.

GL: How did you get started in the jewelry world? Did you study design in school?
KW: I got started in the jewelry world out of a big love for fashion and accessories in particular. At first I designed for myself, as I always loved adding special pieces to my look. After being a professional actress at my early 20’s I chose to make my true passion into a profession. I took private lessons with the best teachers and signed up for classes with top leading teachers abroad, in Paris and London.

GL: Your first piece was your own wedding headpiece. Why did you choose to design your own? Did you feel something was missing in the market?

KW: I chose to design my own head piece because I was looking for a unique piece that would characterize me—and as I kept searching for a headpiece I realized there was a big lack in jewelry and accessories for brides, especially headpieces. That is how my first bridal collection was created.
