Stylistit — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 06:46:11 +0000

I recently discovered the works of Israeli jewelry designer Osnat Weingarten. She has a few very interesting collections, which you can see on her site www.osnatweingarten.com and in jewelry shops.

As I am in a mood for fun and color at the moment, I love Osnat’s colorful Freedom collection.

I am loving this flower necklace by O-shan. It’s from the Urban Blossom collection with similar flowers. You can find these at Razili jewelry shops around the country.

These fabulus designs have gone global, but since the designer is Israeli I an counting this as Israeli jewelry.

Mimi’s Yemenite Necklace

Stylistit — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 08:01:27 +0000

Remember when I wrote about the piece about Yemenite Jewelry?
Well, I met Mimi the other day and she was wearing an amazing authentic Yemenite necklace.
The necklace belonged to Mimi’s grandmother, and was passed down to her from her mother after she asked and begged for it for months. Yes it is certainly worth begging for.
I took this picture with my phone so it is not great. Mimi did not want to be included in the picture, which is a shame because she is so pretty and sweet and adorable.
I hope you can make out the flower design on each of the pieces of the necklace.
This is certainly a magnificent necklace.

Jewish jewelry: mezuzah necklaces

Stylistit — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 08:10:18 +0000

Pesach (Passover) is around the corner (less than 2 weeks away) and this got me thinking of Jewish jewelry (Judiaca jewelry). You know, jewelry with Jewish symbols and themes. But this time it’s not Chai, Hamsa or Star of David necklaces, or Pomegranate inspired jewelry I’m interested in.
I’m now into Mezzuza necklaces which are also sometimes known as Kemea “houses” בית קמע. Like in a door mezuzah you can put a small mezuzah scroll in the pendant.
Way back when I got my first Mezzuza necklace, they were all in Yemenite jewelry style and were silver and sometimes gold. I think that may be the origin of Mezzuza necklace. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Here are some Mezzuza necklaces to look at.

My pick of Israeli Etsy finds for the day are Mars designs amazing Milifeuri pendant, Neta Amir‘s handmade shoes that look so cute and comfy, Orit dot and dolls handmade doll, Yali Paz face broche, Don Moti’s pomegranate necklace, and you already know how much I love Pomegranate inspired jewelry, and Spring colors amazing beaded necklace.
