Welcome to The World of CADAR!

Summer has arrived in the city and so has an exciting new designer: CADAR!

We discovered CADAR at this year's annual jewellery show in Las Vegas and immediately fell in love with their fashion-forward styles, story-driven design and quality craftsmanship. CADAR is a modern, luxury jewellery house that creates impeccably crafted 18k gold and diamond jewellery. Founder and Creative Director Michal Kadar's background in fashion design inspires her to sculpt gold like fabric and bring movement to jewellery. She has accomplished the rare feat of innovating at the top end of the gold category. Handcrafted in New York City and Italy by local artisans, each piece reflects Michal’s singular standards for design and quality.

Design is second nature to CADAR founder and Creative Director Michal Kadar. As a young girl, she spent countless hours by the sea collecting shells her artist father used for his life-size sculptures. In turn, she developed meticulous attention to detail and an affinity for the meditative process of intricate work. The rich cultural mélange of her family’s European and North African heritage ignited her imagination from childhood and set a course for a life in art and design. From the Renaissance icons of Florence to the sensory experiences of the desert, disparate influences played a formative role in shaping her early insights into nature and design.

Michal studied a range of design disciplines, including art, fine jewellery, and fashion. The latter commanded her passion early on, and by the age of twelve, she sought books and magazines to satisfy her curiosity for European couturiers and Japanese deconstructionists. Following the opening of a fashion boutique in Tel Aviv, her innovative designs quickly rose to prominence, and she cultivated a distinguished clientele that included international celebrities and socialites.

Each jewellery collection tells a story through sophisticated symbolism inspired by the world around us, encompassing themes such as light, water, love, and nature. The unifying aesthetic of bold minimalism and elemental beauty is notable for its proportion and balance. As a designer, Michal strives for excellence as she creates flattering pieces that women of all ages and aesthetics wear to express their unique style!

Bloom

The Bloom collection represents the convergence of light and water in a series of intricately crafted floral jewels. Curved petals echo the semicircular ripples of light, while a graceful cascade of fringe flows like water beneath a floral pendant. The luminous glow of the moon re-emerges in pave details on bangles and hoops.

Feather

The CADAR Feather earrings bring nature's elegance to life with golden plumage. These fluttering earrings capture the delicate movement and lightness of a feather, all while gracefully elongating the neck.

Whether you opt for subtlety or make a bold statement, the CADAR Feather earrings collection offers a range of sizes and gold tones to match your style. Choose from white, yellow, and rose gold in small, medium, or large sizes. No matter your choice, the Feather Collection is a versatile style staple.

Foundation

Notable for its clean lines and symmetry, each piece in the Foundation collection celebrates refined simplicity. The emphasis on solid frames and structures is evident in a square link gold chain bracelet, commanding in form and seamless in construction. A pair of decidedly modern square hoops boldly frame the face; stacked squares on a pyramid ring rise to perfection from a sturdy base, and a dazzling square chain necklace tempts the eye with its kinetic lustre.
