Ascopa was founded by Ika and Rami, Ascopa means “threshold stone” in Aramaic. For Ika and Rami, the name marked their return to Israel. Created in a handcraft process, the allure of the Ascopa jewelry is their asymmetry. To the Ascopa brand, beauty is found in the individuality caused by imperfections.
Ascopa creates jewelry using Roman glass fragments, an ancient material that has existed for over 2000 years. Roman glass can only be found in the Middle East, making the material rare and full of history. Ika and Rami want to keep the tradition and history of Roman glass alive, repurposing the material, giving it a new life.
As the primary material in use, Ascopa has mastered the art of Roman glass. Ascopa is able to alter the shape, size, and color of the glass to fit whichever jewellry they are working on.
My Owl Pendant
In ancient Rome, the owl was a symbol of protection. Handcrafted in the studio using sterling silver 925, the pendant brings good luck and protection. A reflection and symbol of the memories of ancient empire Rome, the center of the pendant displays the Roman glass fragments. The eyes of the owl are decorated by two Lab Opals, matching with the slight blue hue of the Roman glass.

Zaha Earrings
The Zaha Earring is a direct homage to the British Iraqi architect, Zaha Hadid. Nicknamed the “Queen of Curve” Zaha was well known for her use of free flowing curvature in her designs. The Zaha Earrings use the same style, with two abstractly shaped sterling silver earrings, resembling two clouds in the sky. Although not as ancient as Rome, these earrings represent an important art style and piece of history while maintaining a more modern look.
