Jewish Wedding

Handcrafted Jewish Wedding Gifts from Jerusalem

A Jewish wedding is one of the most ritually rich ceremonies in continuous practice. The bride and groom enter under the chuppah (the wedding canopy), the ketubah (the marriage contract) is read aloud, the seven blessings are recited over a cup of wine, the rings are exchanged with the declaration "harei at mekudeshet li" ("behold, you are consecrated to me"), and the groom breaks a glass to recall the destruction of the Temple even in the moment of greatest joy. Every element involves objects that can be commissioned, gifted, or preserved.

Our Jewish wedding collection is built around those elements. Hebrew-inscribed wedding rings, our specialty, are typically engraved with "Ani Ledodi V'Dodi Li" ("I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine," from the Song of Solomon), the couple's names, or the Hebrew date of the wedding. Israeli wedding bands in Yemenite filigree, hammered contemporary, or two-tone styles serve couples who want their bands made in Israel even without Hebrew text. A dedicated ceremony Kiddush cup, often engraved with both names and the wedding date, holds the wine over which the seven blessings are recited and becomes a keepsake afterwards.

Gifts for the couple form their own sub-section. Sterling silver Shabbat candlesticks for the new home (often presented as a pair engraved with the bride's Hebrew name), a personal Challah board engraved with both names, a Havdalah set for the first Saturday night of married life, and a Mezuzah case for the front door of the new home are all traditional. For bride and groom personally, Hebrew name pendants and personal jewelry pieces marked with the wedding date are common gifts from parents and grandparents. Every piece is made to order in our Jerusalem workshop with appropriate Hebrew engraving and ships worldwide.
