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.
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. For thicker hair you can choose a French barrette .
It comes only in silver, but for customers who order gold wire, I will coat the
top of the clip with gold metallic paint.
Kippah Size
All
women's kippot are approximately 4-3/4" in diameter. However,
since they are hand woven, I can made them slightly smaller or
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.

Please
note: Sterling silver prices have gone up considerably in the last
year and I must increase my price as well. See the order form for
details. |
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.
