By Western standards, modern jewelry making is not widely known in Israel. The few Israeli artists who do create modernist jewelry have often studied abroad and exhibit and sell their designs in Europe. Schocken, who lives in Jerusalem, was trained as an architect in Israel and then went to England to learn jewelry making. Her jewelry is reductivist and abstract and reflects her lifelong passion for modern architecture, in particular Tel Aviv's well-known cache of Bauhaus-inspired buildings from the 1920s and 1930s.
