Kippah Samples

Each kippah I make is custom and just for YOU.  I don't believe you should have to purchase a stock item when you can get exactly what you want in a very reasonable amount of time.  Occasionally I have one or two kippot in stock -- any items available for immediate purchase are on the "buy it now" page.

The kippot below were made for other customers and are samples.  Remember, you choose the wire color and beads on the ORDER FORM.  In most cases, I can duplicate the sample or make one very similar.  Some of the center beads are "one-of-a-kind," but I usually have something that will work just as well.

About the Kippah
Each kippah is tightly woven by hand using jeweler's wire and Czech glass beads, pearls, Austrian crystal or imported stones.  The beads are woven throughout the kippah; approximately 95 are used.  Because these are individually made, no two are exactly alike and each one takes several hours to complete.  It will sparkle in your hair and evoke comments and compliments from others.

How Kippah is Worn
A clear comb is woven into the kippah so that it will stay in your hair.  It is recommended that an extra "spritz" of hair spray be used to provide a firm hold.  A smaller metal comb in silver or gold finish is also available.

Kippah Size
Adult size: between 4-1/4" and 4-1/2"
Bat Mitzvah Size: between 3-3/4" and 4"

Each one is individually hand made and I do my best to keep the size consistent.  Also, kippah measurements are taken across the bottom but they are dome shaped so are actually a bit larger.

Selection Tips
Whether this is for yourself or a gift, it is important to take the wearer's hair color into consideration.  As you might expect, a lighter colored stone or bead will show more prominently on a woman with dark hair; conversely, a deeper colored stone will be more noticeable on someone with lighter hair.  Additionally, very pale colored stones do not show up as well on the light silver wire.  If you are unsure or have any questions, I encourage you to contact me and I will do my best to help in the decision process.

Kippah Center
Some centers consist of a larger bead to color match or contrast with the smaller beads woven throughout the kippah.  Others have a Star of David made of metal, glass or ceramic.  Still other centers use a vintage piece.  If you desire, the center can be just wire or a cluster of the stones used throughout.

If you have a bead or a small jewelry piece such as a charm, pin or single earring, that has special meaning to you, you can send it to me and I will do my best to incorporate it into the center.
