In an interview with Jewish Gift Place,Top Jewellery Designer Ayala Bar Reveals Her Inspirations Articles she shared, "Artistic inclination was in my family. I started with mosaic-like creativity following a vivid childhood memory of my Uncle Moeez. He used to immerse objects in fresh cement: photos, seashells, ceramic parts, evil-eye beads. As a child, this was fascinating. I was in awe. As a young adult, this memory surfaced and served as a reference."

Breaking the Mold

During a time when gold and silver dominated the jewellery market, Ayala Bar sought to break free from conventional norms. "Obviously, cement was not the direction, although I must admit that the concept of using adhesive to form a miniature collage of assorted stones and beads on metal parts wasn't that far from that childhood vision," she explained.

The actual process is the way, whether it is successful or not, whether it turns up popular or not.
