It doesn’t look like the headquarters of a style icon. The first building on the otherwise trendy Shabazi Street is dilapidated, with paint peeling from its light-turquoise walls and electric wires hanging in a mess from its rooftop.

But this is where jewellery worn by the likes of Carla Bruni and Gal Gadot comes from. Full of glittering cases, it is the headquarters of Tel Aviv jewellery designer Keren Wolf.

Widely considered among the most influential women in Israeli fashion, Wolf accessorises celebrities, brides and jewellery lovers everywhere.

Her new collection includes super-thin gold rings with diamonds and other gems, which cost £85 to £150 each, designed to be stacked up on the finger. Keren Wolf says you can wear up to 15, and together they will still be narrower and lighter than a standard-sized gold ring.
