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.
